I used to do this when bored as a student - remember getting 20ish moves in the corner of my room at halls using the skirting boards/coat hanger thingy FatboySlimfast  :D ?

Also, there's the strange urban sport of "Le Parkour" that originated in France - sort of like high level street skating but without a skateboard....

yeah, thats like the shit on that BBC1 advert, apparently that guy was a frenchie.

Also in New York these nutters go jumping on top of subway trains, getting killed and everything....

[Bubba]

Yeah, that's the guy - he was one of the "founding fathers" of the sport. Some of the pics I've seen are menthol with people doing roof-gaps over 80ft drops and stuff. Scary.
Actually, there's a good sort of one in the videos section of TonyHawksProSkater 4. Check out the Bam Margera vid to see him jumping between two pick-up trucks at what looks to be about 60mph. The man is a loon.

Subway-surfing I think it's called? Lots of taggers do it, and splat themselves in the process. Probably great fun until you don't see that bridge coming up....

Seems a bit extreme just to avoid paying a fare.

Is Bam Margera in Jackass?

[Bubba]

Yep, that's the same Bam - fookin' nutcase - there's also clips of him just throwing himself off the roof of his house onto a pile of dirt and landing on his front. Dunno how he stays out of hospital. Still, a damn fine skater and it's done him alright as he drives a Ferrari....
