    David Belle, the man who is attributed with inventing parkour, is clearly not phased with the endless amount of broken faces and shattered dreams he inspired (see the abundance of parkour fails on YouTube), as he wants everyone to get their free-running on and for the phenomenon to reach new heights.

    “Parkour’s potential has barely been tapped,” says 41-year-old Belle, “because anyone, anywhere, can learn it and they don’t need any equipment.”

    And he’s right, because parkour emerged out of Belle and his friends trying to traverse the environment in a lot of different ways.

    The aim of parkour is to find the fastest, most efficient and most elegant way from A to B on foot, without means of transport. Getting over obstacles, mastering challenges and taming fears makes parkour a school of life which to the rest of us looks like a really cool thing to do.

    Seven of the crew’s nine founding members have starred in action films. Sébastien Foucan developed the acrobatic art of freerunning – a parkour variant that promotes flair and worries less about the rule concerning most efficient movement – which he showcased in an incredible chase sequence for the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale.

    Belle, too, had a solo career, which began in earnest in 2004 with the action drama District 13. He was also getting work as a stuntman in films, such as Crimson Rivers 2: Angels Of The Apocalypse and Transporter 2.

    Belle believes that the culture of parkour has just begun, and still has a long way to go before meeting his dreams and aspirations of where he sees the revolutionary sensation.
