These Russian youths have one hell of a hobby that could send them right straight to hell. Without harnesses, ropes, parachutes or any form of safety climbing equipment, their adrenalin is all they ride on to perform these breath-taking, heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, eyeball-popping, butterfly-breeding stunts.
Here's a little documentary on them.
They also practice another urban extreme sport called "parkour" or "free running" which is "the sport of moving along a route, typically in a city, trying to get around or through various obstacles inthe quickest and most efficient manner possible, as by jumping, climbing, or running" as defined by dictionary.com
"Parkour" or "free running" basically involves jumping over staircases, ramps, rooftop to rooftop, etc...It's basically overcoming urban obstacles with non-layman gymnastic maneuverability and the out-of-this-world ability to break falls. Here's a lil' video compilation of what it is about.
The last video I watched was this super fun "Human Bungee Slingshot - Human Catapult!" video. This one's more try-able and the people who actually did it did some pretty funny stuffs that will get your tummy exercising.
If possible, I'd like to go there and try that out too! You gotta live while you're young right? #YOLO. Haha.
Yup, I'm no adrenalin junkie, but I am sure one adventurous boy that wants to do some of these before I reach a age where I cannot attempt such feats. Haha.
So, go extreme sporting!! Just kidding. Do the ones that you know you'll have a 90% probability of walking out alive. Haha.
