Parkour is crazy

8 minute video of Russian[?] guy doing some crazy Parkour (gymnastics mixed with running and climbing)

All I was thinking the whole time was "Is this guy near Chernobyl or something?" cuz everything is abandoned and run down. I wonder because from the looks of it he could probably outrun an angry mob of well-armed, highly caffeinated spider monkeys - but you just can't outrun radiation.



UPDATE** If you cannot play the video, you may need Macromedia Flash player.
