Did anyone else watch "Jump London" on t**sday night on C4?
Basically it was a load of insane French men leaping round the rooftops of London, jumping from building to building, balcony to balcony and all sorts. It apparently started as a group of friends messing about after school, but it has now developed its own martial arts-esque reasoning.
But some of the things they did were spectacular - must be able to find videos or pictures somewhere :\ things like leaping across balconies, but not a straight jump, they ran on the wall, but you can't do Matrix style so they span across the wall! and people jumping across the roof gaps like they did in I think its one of the Nike ads.
Mad but very spectacular.
