Parkour Meets Rube Goldberg

POST 280
Friday, October 5, 2012

Parkour and Rube Goldberg both overlap with the athleticism and inventiveness of physical comedy, and I’ve already written about them on this blog, especially here and here. And while parkour freerunners usually tackle found environments, here’s a wild video of parkour being staged on what may be the world’s largest Rube Goldberg machine. It features German freerunner Jason Paul and was sponsored by Red Bull™. Best viewed at full screen!

Thanks to Drew Richardson for the link.
