This is some major ish. Team Farang (a bastardization of the word “foreign”) went on tour, freerunning in some of the world’s most wild places. Here they tackle the ruins of Angkor in Cambodia.

Stuntman and gymnast Aung Zaw Oo, better known as AZO, has some incredible hand/eye coordination. His compiled video of tricks and stunts from this year includes the usual freerunning maneuvers, but ventures into the realm of shuttlewilly kicking, flair bartending, rhythmic gymnastics (slightly girly, but we’ll forgive him), and chopsticks throwing. Just watch it, you’ll see.

Is there any better way to start your week than with a dope free running compilation? I didn’t think so. Professional stuntman, gymnastics coach and free runner Damien Walters shows off his sweetest moves in this year’s reel. My one beef? Some of the best moves were done in a gym, on pads, which takes the hardcore out of parkour.
If you haven’t realized by now, nobody loves Parkour more than The Campus Socialite. I probably couldn’t tell you the difference between an amateur and a pro, but I can say that this video of actual Parkour competition at the 2011 National Parkour Summit (Yeah, go figure) makes that first scene in Casino Royale look like a jog around the track. Yeah, it’s epic.
The extreme sports gaming franchise has been in the market for a revival of the “pro” series for a while. Activision abandoned everything but Tony Hawk, but the way these guys imitated the classic video game gets me amped, and there’s nothing I’d love to do more than freerun in a virtual world where I can’t injure myself. Check it.
Some fathers teach their sons to play catch. This guy taught his son Bike Parkour. What is Bike Parkour? It’s all the things those insane guys who run through cities climbing flat walls and jumping off 2 story buildings do, only on a bike. I have no idea how old this kid is, but definitely not old enough to be this cool. The dad is even better.
Remember the video of the guy who smacked his nuts trying to pull a parkour maneuver, and subsequently pooped his pants? Well, he’s in here, among friends, all who have one thing in common: they’re complete parkour failures. Check out the best head-banging, nut-crunching, window-shattering parkour fails so far this year.
