Parkour ROCKS!!!

"Simply awesome trailer for an upcoming documentary, MY PLAYGROUND by Kaspar Astrup Schröder, featuring the Danish performance freeruners Team JiYo. It is a film about movement, tricking, freerunning and parkour engaging fully BIG’s recent project the Mountain Dwellings as backdrop. The Mountain Dwellings were recently awarded the Best Housing Project in the World at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona. (via Coudal)"





This video is simply amazing, not just for the ability of human movement, but for the backdrop that it is expressed in. Can't wait to see this moving when it comes out!
