Flying with the original traceur.

David Belle is parkour. Not only did the man invent it, but he’s managed to stay on top of it, continually refining and pushing his style.

If you have any doubts, Belle’s video SpeedAirMan should cure them. Over a year after its release, Belle’s agility, speed, and flash are as jaw-dropping as ever.

Have a great weekend, and keep flyin’.
