Parkour Sport is a Spectacle to Behold

Our Parkour story featured in March’s issue spotlights the daredevil acts of a sport finding its way into major motion pictures. In this video demonstration, Vienna’s Billy Hughes performs the very feats described in Maureen Horcher’s feature story. Otherwise known as “free-running,” the Parkour enthusiast climbs concrete, hurdles stair rails and leaps from obstacle to obstacle through the urban jungle gym of Washington, D.C. The skill is quickly finding its way into the repertoires of Hollywood stuntman and law enforcement trainees.
