I think this is true interpretation of sport. This shows how good athlete you are. This should definitely be the sport with more attention. I'd love watching it in TV ( internet ). WoW you guys are amazing. Maybe one problem - i'd add more technical obstacles. But still it is awesome.
Amazing this what a real athletic approach to parkour would look like love it, Take a way a few rules that don't make sense and this is pretty darn good format.
@acteone It is military obstacle course relay. The obstacle course is one of the five events in military penthathlon. Shooting, obstacle course, throwin hand grenades, obstacle course in water and cross country running. The military uses the track to train all soldiers and the course is completed in PT dress, full combat gear or as a team.
wow that was amazing! The 3rd leg of it Austria came back really fast! he booked it! then the chinese guy started catching up at the end but it just wasn't enough! absolutely amazing!
That was awesome! The first ladder climb had a big drop and I figured they would crawl a little way down... nope! Amazing people; I want to do that course!
FYI: the obstacle course is one out of five disciplines in the military pentathlon (which also constists of: obstacle swimming, shooting, grenade-throwing and a crossrun). So in fact: These are soldiers (otherwise they aren't allowed to compete, that's what the rules say.
That guy never ran through the wall lol. There was a concrete hurdle between him and the camera as he jumped the wall. He had already cleared the wall before the camera had him back in shot.
@wiebenjijzeg I guess it's hard to see in this video but in case you didn't know it; that's not actually a vertical wall, it has a slight banking to it which makes it quite easy to run up along.
@NiclasTimle89 The competitors had to navigate each obstacle in the fastest way possible. Notice the way they dropped from the ladder and the way they crawled through the pit. Its the most efficient way to get through it. The last part was because that was the obstacle that they had to do which was running through in that line. The fastest way to do that was to grab the end of the pole and use your momentum to swing yourself around each corner to maintain speed and quickness.
He wouldn't. While he is a great practitioner, he isn't a trained athlete. These guys are proper athletes who's fitness levels are seriously next level..
holy shit what i've always wanted as a parkour competition, finally! it could use some tic-tac, wall running, precision jumping and higher drops (for rolling) kind of obstacles to make it more parkour and more exciting!
For the people who don't know, that is a military competition. And these guys are not free runners or traceurs, but soldiers. From different nations ofcourse.
Here they had paths they were to follow. Imagine a free course where you got to choose your path and complete it as fast as possible. Like round 2 of MTV's Parkour Challenge, that was my favorite part of the show, pure parkour. I just wonder how races can be held without losing parkour's message . . .
the very first vault was choppy but damn that fence flip had a huge ass drop and their speed vaults were amazing kinda reminds me of that map pack in mirrors edge
i m in the military akademy in wiener neustadt and we all train at this parcour every week! the austrian guy is günther kaiser he made the world record on the hindernisbahn as we say in austria!
Your Olympics suggestion is awesome. It would make it MANY times more enjoyable to watch!
That is one of the best parkour videos i ever saw
that was so awesome and it came down to the wire. good job for staying with it.
Uma ótima combinação de esportes e habilidades!
A great combination of sports and skills!
They were soo fast!! that looked like the coolest obtacle course ive ever seen i wish i could go on it

This is stunning. This is what parkour competitions should be like. (with maybe some more difficult obstacles)

This course is like a wet dream to me!!

Awesome! Thanks for posting!
Those who say this isn't parkour, check description next time..
And that was pretty darn awesome, wish I could be that fast ;)
I love the uniforms white vs. yellow and how white pulls through in the end and beats the yellows
that was an awesome comback from trailing quite far behind!
wow the most awesome video!
That was awesome! The first ladder climb had a big drop and I figured they would crawl a little way down... nope!
Amazing people; I want to do that course!
Austria Did Really Well To Pull Back To Win! Well Done!
DAMN! those pop vaults at 1:44 looked effortless!
Music: dardude sandstorm

Ahh, I've tried an almost exact same obstacle course! It's so fun :D
wow that was awesome!!
That guy never ran through the wall lol. There was a concrete hurdle between him and the camera as he jumped the wall. He had already cleared the wall before the camera had him back in shot.

That Chinese guy in the beginning was moving!!!!!

Absolutely Amazing Video! hot dayyum their fast.

wOw nice climb ups these guys are lightning fast!!
There speed vaults....really were SPEED vaults...and the running on the balance beams....omg...amazing
Where is freerunning? Efficiency = PARKOUR!!
nice work congratulation
Fully aware of that. The point was that they are doing this as a natural thing and 'probably' aren't aware of the PK/FR phenom that we all know.
sick stuff
music is

Man what a fucking come back. That was epic good.
holy crap that's awesome. talk about movements reduced to their simplest forms for the sake of sheer speed.
@NiclasTimle89

They had amazing speed vaults

That epic intro counts.

damn these guys with a few days of parkour training would complete the course in half that time ! :)
wow... that was intense!
would be great if that was in the olympics
the very first vault was choppy but damn that fence flip had a huge ass drop and their speed vaults were amazing
kinda reminds me of that map pack in mirrors edge
Thats the course used in Military Penthatlon, and yes, it has a lot to do with parkour
@mattrstudios Nope. Military penhathlon. This is a special event military obstacle course relay.
this was urban freeflow in the past
amazing
WOW what a video
the wall run at 1:45 was crazy!
Gladiator... readyyyy. You go on my first mark. It just seems a lot like gladiator, just relayed with pros.

i m in the military akademy in wiener neustadt and we all train at this parcour every week! the austrian guy is günther kaiser he made the world record on the hindernisbahn as we say in austria!
@Alurtoll Parkour can be everything, but yes - this is a fine example of a use of parkour.
