You'd hate to be a cop chasing them for shoplifting.
to right, on the other hand it wud b gr8 4 shoplifting
they were just like superheroes, unbeleivable, swinging from rooftop to rooftop, jumping 10 foot gaps betweens buildings, running up walls, did yuou see at the start where they put that video footage of them in and that guy span his way up the wall? Incredible.
I'd love to be able to do that. then I could go and piss of huge gangs of townies and watch them try and catch me from the nearest rooftop
was that the guy who kicked the wall, spun round, kicked the wall again and did it 2 more times?Quote:

http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/ just a site i found..
it was pretty damn cool! too much talking and not enough of them running etc.
i liked the one where he did that handstand on the banister. how much upper body strength??? i also liked the one where he jumped from one balcony to another while spinning on the wall :o :o
i think that was what i meant, very nice indeed.....agree with the talking too. Don't mind it, but it would have been better with less words and more running.Quote:

i think we were talking of the same trick. god knows how they discovered they can do it. i know they're french but is good! :lol:
jumping of the high bit of the ship was ballsy too!! :o
he must have some spares lying around to do that :P lol
I didnt know they planned their jumps beforehand....i just thought they jumped and decided what to do in the air. But i guess thats silly if you jumped off a skyscraper or sumthing.
i was surprised at how planned it was. And they had a stunt co-ordinator - -isnt tthat cheating? <_<
Very cool stuff. When that dude did that massive jump on the HMS Belfast I was sure he was going to die!
im sure they would have done it without the stunt co ordinator, but channel 4 would have got in a lot of shit for showing people jumping off buildings without a health and safety officer present, thats why they did a couple of intervitews with him im sure most of the time they just do it, i mean, what rent--cop is going to catch them :lol:Quote:
