In a video that is supposed to make us amazed about the durability of the human body, it actually made me terrified of breaking. I will never jump again – even if these street gymnasts make it look easy.
Don’t watch if you hate the word “cartilage” as much as me.
Although this video is not particularly about “buskers”, it is about street performing, one of the many things that make life in public so exciting. Just like street performers, “free runners” (what Human Body is calling “street gymnasts”) use their craft to entertain and amaze. It’s an impressive (and dangerous) mix of technique, strength, daring and cool. Bound to piss bureaucrats off.
Thanks to the Discovery Channel for this one, and Dawn Dreams for bringing it to our attention.
