le parkour, yamakasi, the art of movement
in Lab - dancer and student architect Sam, was telling me to check out something called yamakasi. guys who climb the outside of buildings and then jump from rooftop to rooftop. check out this site for cool images of their work… http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/urban_graffiti/urban_graffiti.htm
stay tuned for Sam’s pioneering of yamakasi in stompin’s next urban work!

Also check out www.parkour.com - the American home of all things parkour!
You may have seen the guy from the website in Madonna’s Hung Up film clip doing parkour on the streets and in stairwells….
