    Still pretty cool though.

    Wonder how many people break their legs today trying to copy.

    i think that this sport is very entertaining to watch but can be very dangerous im into this sport myself and try a bit now and again

    What the hell do you mean “not as spetacular as we would have hoped.” I would like to see you pull some of that stuff. Also the discipline of freerunning is onl as dangerous as you want it to be. So if anyone broke their legs its their fault that they couldn’t judge properly. So before you say anything like just think about it.

  8. Guy

    Dave, maybe I should have explained myself better. It was not what the freerunners were doing that was not spectacular, it was the film itself which didn’t manage to capture adequately the amazingness of it all! The people featured were plainly really good but the director chose to do lots of arty bits and bobs that toally detracted from the people jumping london.

  9. dave

    Very very cool! Very Interesting also. Are the Jump London production team contactable?

  10. ash1977

    the guys were called,
    sebastien facour-the built black guy, stefan virou-torn ligament, yohan virou-red trousers-and jerome somethin dont know. it was amazing. best thing ive ever seen, although a squirrel chacing a frog comes close

  11. hmmmm..........

    i like children

  12. ELRUBANO

    no one can say that programme was bad and i know a few people that have copied free running and have now done it for a year and are really really good. ive started a bit as well. its fun but practise makes perfect!

    i thought it was an excellent production i suppose it would be a little dangerous but i personaly found it very fascinating and looks really fun i think sebastien the black guy was probably the best then probably the one with red trousers i think he was called stefan

  16. pete

    i think that sebastien the black guy was by far the best but it showed the lad with red trousers doing the jumps first .i wanna know why because he was the newest member of the group so he wasnt the best .overall the show was amazing.and i have started to do freerunning a bit now.

  17. Ricarda

    hey, does anyone know if there have been plans yet to jump berlin???

    thanx, Ricarda

  18. Manisha

    It was a brill programme . I reckon everyone does freerunning (or used to when they were younger), but these geezers have taken it to ‘extremes’, which is cool.
    The black bloke was probably da best- but he has been doing it since they were like 15, so no wonder.
    Does anyone know anythin about the stephane guy?

  19. jak

    I think that free running is the best thing since sliced cheese with bacon bits in. I have been trying it out round my hood and found some nice jumps, goddam hurt me knee doing one, but I don’t get hurt that often so it’s ‘aight’ yo olympics watch out… 2020..recognise!

  23. kerbie

    their names are: sebastion foucan, johan and stefan vigroux, and jerome ben aquis.
    Though Jerome was newest to the group, he still joint about 5 years ago and practises in lisse everyday.
    johan is recovering from his torn ligament and does running with a coach every day, and is training up with seb again.
    David Belle (who wasnt in jump london, but founded parkour with seb) is making a parkour movie that will come out this year. Also starring Cyril Raffaelli from kiss of the dragon.
