Question

Do you love running? It is a good exercise yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls?

It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes that's parkour an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city they may jump over fences run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
