Parkour Among the Planes

| | | Reddit | Digg | Stumble | Email | More

Turn 40 professional “freerunners” loose in an airplane boneyard, start the cameras rolling, and here’s what you get.

The video, organized by Tempest Freerunning in Los Angeles, was shot over two days in February, at the boneyard near the Mojave Air & Space Port.  The result looks like a mashup of Lost and the Step Up movies.

  2. Those NWA machines were old friends of mine. We worked together for thousands of hours. They never failed me, never took advantage of me, as long as I did my part.
    The athletic kids are a wonder to watch, but on my old friends, in a graveyard……. Seems disrespectful. My old friends should be allowed to rest in peace. They earned it.

    (intentionally)off of a wing or tail. What was I missing?
