PARKOUR A EDIMBOUR......G

So perhaps I'm a few years late seeing this, but some guys made a film in which two people basically run around an unusually summery Edinburgh, parkour-ing/playing an extreme game of "it." They start in Bristo Square, do their thing there for a while, and eventually end up down by Scottish Parliament. The continuity lags a bit at one point, as they run onto South Bridge and in the next cut they're running past Monster Mash on Forrest Road, in the direction of Bristo Square again. But you basically have to be as big of a loser as myself to make a big deal out of that. Fucking amateurs, next time try making a film that doesn't suck!

This movie has illustrated to me the potential Edinburgh has for some seriously awesome parkour. Next step: a rooftop chase all the way down the Royal Mile. Perhaps a bus-top (and/or bust-stop-top) chase down a busy Princes Street? Or a rooftop transfer from the David Hume Tower to Appleton Tower? A treetop chase through the Meadows? Ziplining from church steeples all the way across town? Freejumping off the Crags? No?

Hmm, got a little carried away there. Point is, I'm dusting off my imaginary pair of Nike Shox, putting on an imaginary pair of shorts and going to show off my skillz in Bristo Square. Move over Sebastien Foucan, this mah hood. What do you mean why am I naked from the waist down, they're IMAGINARY shorts, you asshole.
