A new sport; a sort of urban steeplechase without horses.
"Use obstacles to create movement. The Parkour is the art of movement, a new French sport created by David Belle and Sebastien Foucan. The objective is clearing all the obstacles which you can have on your way, climbing a wall, a stair, a roof or a tree, all that things in the research of an estetic and original movement. It's in an other hand, the self-knowledge, the challenge against your own fears, because the obstacles are not all the times the things we imagine ... People who practise this sport are called Traceurs, Training is physical but also reflects a moral philosophy with its own values. More than a sport, it's an art, an everyday philosophy!"
