YAMAKASI- Believe it or not

Ever seen people in real life climbing high walls, jumping over them, zooming through parallel rods and jumping from building to buildings without any safety harness cannot believe it na well its actually true. Its called YAMAKASI, it is known as the art of movement, it requires great skill and technique. This art was actually found by a group of local boys in paris(france) and what started as a activity is now their greatest passion. When i first saw the art i was like wowww it was just mind blowing and super cool. The group of yamakasi members first plan a map of the city and then they make it their course of movement. This art of yamakasi is the most extreme method of freestyle running, jumping and climbing. It requires years of training and practice and any one mistake may prove to be fatal. Another important news is that its gaining popularity in india among the film actors and other sports men. Bollywood biggies like akshay kumar and cricketers like yuvaraj singh are said to be practicing this art also known as parkour. People who see it will just instantly fall in love with the art and it will even push them to extremes never thought off. I really wish i get a chance to learn this really fantastic freestyle art and if not learn i wish atleast to see the people who perform this art with such precision. Here are some really cool yamakasi videos just for you. Give me your comments if you like it. CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING STUNTS IN THE VIDEO ARE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS AFTER YEARS OF TRAINING AND PRACTICE. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

I didn't know those stunts have a name. Those are scary indeed for those who perform. For us, we can only sit back and enjoy. Thanks for sharing this with us:)
