What is the name of that group of people who do crazy jumping/climbing in cities?
What is the name of that group of people (or that style of whatever it is) where they would start on like the top of a building and do crazy Jackie Chan stuff to get down? They would just run through cities and jump over/up/around/through everything...
They had an ad on MTV I think. I wanna say they were french... Thanks!

No, it's not freestyle walking. It's nothing like skating. It's just people climbing up/down amazingly high stuff, really fast, and really fluidly...
Yeah, one of the guys was in the chicken ad!! Come on OT!! Someone's gotta know!?!?! |

I've never seen the commercial... is the runner black? If so, could it be the Beale Street Flippers?
*edit: nevermind. Urban Gymnist: Le Parkour or something. http://www.adweek.com/aw/creative/be.../020816_14.jsp |

they're called yamakasi. Luc Bessen did a film about them a couple years back. Basically they do the stuff that jackie chan does in his movies. They also starred in 2 nike commercials. One with a guy chasing a chicken and another where a guy fetches a purse. If you're planning to rent the movie don't because it's not that good. =/
