...anyone just seen this on Channel 4?
One way to beat the crowds isn`t it.

Like superman these guys leap tall buildings, albeit not in a single bound. Very impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the film Yamakasi, although I didn`t understand the french language.
Personally I think there should be more on the sport available to watch instead of it being an almost forbidden art.

I thought it was great, although most of the impressive stuff was at the beginning (of course they would be more familiar with their own territory).
How long do you reckon before kids with broken bones start showing up in the papers?
Quite an accent they had, wasn`t it!

Oh bollocks >:(

All the best,

Very good at what they do, but completely barking mad!
===================
The Shi*house poet needs a good thrashing, Grafitti ISNT cool.... kiddies!
I watched it last night and thought it was total cr*p. The build up made it look like it was going to be amazing but it just wasn`t!
I mean, I`m no gymnast but I`m sure I could do half of the stuff they did on there - like turning 360 degrees whilst running in a straight line (ooo) and then doing a forward roll....hardly the building to building death-defying leaps that it looked like being from the build up.
All I can say is that I wish I hadn`t wasted my time watching it and to anyone who didn`t - good move you lucky peeps!
See what you`re saying Rob. There was a bit where one of them jumped from a small fence onto a lampost about 3 feet away, I thought he was taking the p***!

RE: Jump London...
Some of it was fairly clever, but I spent most of the programme wondering why it was so amazing that a group of adults were making a sport of something that most kids do, just on a kiddie size playground. When are they gonna grow up and get a real job???
I thought that what they did was amazing. Even jumping from the top of a fench (which I am not sure I could`ve stood on let alone walk on) to a lamppost 3 feet away. What spoilt it for me was the arty camera angles the director put in. :(
