            Pretty cool. My daughter is part of Gym Time Cheer leading here in Louisville. They are nationally amongst the very best. And we have some guys that can tumble higher than that and are absolute mountains of muscle. They can hold these girls standing up on one hand. It's really insane to watch the competitions. If you saw the competitions, this would look like nap time. Incredible athletes. And guess what many of them like for a snack? Vienna sausages. Instant protein. They live on them!

                  That's parkour...completely different scenario...lol.

                  Damien Walters is a specialized former trampoline competitor.

                  The gymnast in the first video is Leszek Blanik...a world-class and Olympic vault champion...if you notice his peformance...he's much more powerful of an athlete than slower and lankier Walters. Notice the surface floor they tumble at their respective gyms...the one with Blanik is solid flooring...the one with Walters is a friggin' trampoline lane...the dude is cheating...lol.

                  I'm sure Blanik could do parkour if he wanted too...but I can't see Walters spinning with that power and speed on the same floor lane that Blanik did.

                  However...I have to say...Walters flipping on that building ledge was freaky...I was highly impressed by that.

                  David Belle, the co-founder of parkour... is still the best at his craft...he's so much more fluid than Walters...

                      David Belle (the Bruce Lee of parkour) is the true Spider-Man...all others are Spider-Boys...

                        Walters does indeed do amazing stuff...no doubt...but he's not as fluid as David Belle.

                        I'd call Walters' technique as crazy and wild (coming from his trampoline background)...while Belle is more of a true martial artist.
