Human Tigger
Ninja for hire! All the kids should be trying this at home.

This reminds me of a video with a similar sort of schtick going around last year – I want to say the guy was Russian or something, but I’m not sure. Anyhoo, he was jumping and leaping and crazying all over a pretty torn up city and it was amazing to watch.
I’ll look for it…
I can totally do that…..on Nintendo.
My kids are already jumping and leaping and tumbling all over the house!
The “urban gymnastics” are called “Parkour”. They guy that originally came up with it is in the latest Bond film “Casino Royale”.
Maybe that is what my 19-month-old is trying to do when he keeps running into door frames and walls!
I must never allow my daredevil of a 5 year old to see this video. I don’t want my child jumping onto the neighbor’s roof.
I saw that Russian video, too. It was amazing.

parkour originated in france.
If you dig this, you should check out the film “District B13.” It’s a French film from the director of “The Transporter” movies. Features a whole lot of action like the utube post; folks who do this are called Traceurs. Forgive me if I’ve spelled that wrong, my French is not so good. Did I mention the stars of this film are two of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen? Rrrrrooowrr.
It keeps reminding me of Jackie Chan movies.
I think I just found a new hobby. (Watching, mind you–I’ll never be that fit!)
ninjas don’t just sneak up behind you…ninjas just happen. and then they kill you.

That’s probably the inspiration for Madonna’s new video, “Jump”, I think, is the title.
My friend’s 17 year old son has two herniated discs in his lower back from doing that stuff. The symptoms were so unusual for someone so young they did an mri to rule out tumors. Yikes.
