Want to be part of the newest fad doing the rounds - shouldn't be that hard - just find yourself a "great height" - could be a tree or the top of a building - and jump. According to The Daily Telegraph, the activity is supposedly based on the French sport of "parkour" and has been described as the "art" of defying gravity. Hmmm. Seems like a great way to end up with a spinal cord injury (or worse). Not sure if having your leap filmed is part of this new sport though - seems to be because there are a few YouTube videos available showing youngsters leaping off school roofs and carparks in Sydney, the Central Coast and Newcastle. Somehow I don't think this one's for me.
* Parkour, also known as PK, involves making one's way from Point A to Point B in the most efficient manner using only the power of the human body. It is supposedly more akin to a form of martial art than a sport. (Paraphrased from Wikipedia.)
