FCUK! (Like the tshirt says). These boys drive me crazy. I've been meaning to share this parkour video forever; and then I got a little timid— "Maybe everyone has seen it already." But if you love parkouristas, you could watch it all day long, and for most of the world, it's still entirely unknown.
Yes, parkour is the same thing as "free-running" (a Dutch nickname). But it's sexier in French, and that's what this is, really, a sex video. These kind of street breaks are what inspired the opening scene of Casino Royale, which stars one of the parkour originals, Sebastien Foucan. (Can you spell Daniel Craig/Sebastien threeway?)
However, it's the above uncredited inspiration that was the first parkour I saw; the first time I imagined a human body could do such things. Afterwards, I went wild clicking every parkour link, but I finally realized it's THESE boys, THIS post-Soviet ghost-town ghetto, THIS music— and perhaps most of all, the mysterious presence behind the camera who managed to make something this powerful that transcends language and skeletons.
What is known? The perps call themselves "The Dvinsk Clan," from Latvia. The main rubberman is named Oljeg. The music is: Rob Dougan's Clubbed To Death from The Matrix OST, Bouga/ Akhenaton's Belsunce Breakdown, and Si Triste by Le 3Eme Oeil. Every other detail I must leave up to you!
