		Carrying the bottle, Sebastien scaled his way from the uppermost point of the ‘Pyramid’ on the Tower and jumped between floors 13 and 9, before balancing himself on the buildings ledge and performing a leap of faith from one wall of the building to another.
		Sebastien is best known for his Jump London documentary, which saw him use the art of free running to scale and soar across buildings in the UK’s capital city, and he is famed for his death-defying leap across two ends of Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, for Jump Britain.
		Sebastien said that this was the first time that he had performed in Dublin and that he was delighted with the opportunity to try out the discipline of Parkour (free running) from one of Ireland’s highest positions.

		Sebastien Foucan, co-founder and world recognised Ambassador of Parkour, the most exciting new extreme sport to be launched in recent years, has unveiled a new website to convey the philosophy, manoeuvres, risks and rewards of the discipline to a global audience.
		The discipline originated in Lisses, France, when a childhood Sebastien and a small group of friends developed the concept of combining movement with their urban environment in a unique, challenging and aesthetically beautiful way.
		A deeply personal discipline, Sebastien has developed a philosophy behind the sport, encouraging ‘Parkouristes’ or ‘Traceurs’ to challenge themselves, as opposed to focussing on competition against others.

		Sebastien Foucan gained stardom throughout much of the world when the gymnastics enthusiast helped invent freerunning, a gravity-defying sport that received exposure in the U.S. via a series of Nike commercials.
		Now Foucan will employ his high-jumping, obstacle-evading abilities while engaging the new James Bond in one of the most ambitious chase sequences in the history of the action series.

		In their youth, Sebastien and his pals played a variety of sports which all, in one way or another, contributed to their development of parkour.
		In the past, Sebastien has resisted the urge to refer to parkour as an art form, claiming that there is still a lot of work to be done before parkour can be classed as such.
		Sebastien and his crew didn't, you'll be glad to hear, risk anything less than life and limb to complete their jumps.

	Virtual Magic: Parkour
		For example, Sébastien Foucan, a freerunner who trained with David Belle during the infancy of the art speaks of being "fluid like water," a frequently used metaphor for the smooth passage of barriers through the use of parkour.
		According to Foucan, the start of the "big jumps" was around the age of fifteen.
		Jump London was followed up by the sequel Jump Britain, once again featuring Foucan and Ben Aoues, as well as several traceurs from Urban Freeflow, the leading group and central focus for the nascent British scene.

		Sebastien Foucan and David Belle, childhood friends in Paris, are credited with formulating the discipline in 1987.
		Foucan refers to it as "evolution of the mind" and "following your own path." Though discovering one's own rhythm is important, so is a sense of collaboration.
		Foucan has a concept he believes is crucial to Parkour: "No violence, no competition, no chiefs." There really is none of that noticeable in Velosophy.

	Free running
		To explain a few of the principles of the sport, Foucan, 29, and another of the stars of the Channel 4 film, Johann Vigroux, 20, return to the park where it was born in the early 1990s.
		Vigroux and Foucan refuse - on the grounds of basic safety - to teach the principles of roof-leaping straight off, preferring instead to try to explain the mentality of a free-runner.
		A fierce sense of rivalry has grown between the factions, all of whom continue to use the architecture of Lisses as an outdoor gym, but despite the divisions, the popularity of their sport appears to be growing.

		Many prescribe the actual beginning or creation of Parkour to a group of young teenagers in 1980's Paris, the two most famous of which -and media labeled fore-fathers of Parkour- are Sebastien Foucan and David Belle.
		David Belle, being the founder of Parkour, and Sebastien Foucan, who helped form and openly preached the philosophy, have been the first to define the discipline and its philosophies.
		Sebastien is often quoted as being concerned about the fact that even if there are organisations for Parkour on paper there aren't any formalised institutions that are committed to the advancement discipline over and above its commercial success.

		Le Parkour began in 1987 when gymnastics enthusiasts David Belle, Sebastien Foucan, and a group of friends decided to kill their boredom by challenging one another to stunts at their Paris suburban playground.
		The only reason why David Belle and Sebastien didn’t appear in the movie is that the group disbanded a year after the Yamakasi was formed.
		However, David and Sebastien did not share the same sentiments and they went their separate ways to pursue their own aspiration for the future of Le Parkour.

		He has created and given names to many of the trademark Parkour moves, now used throughout the movement, which is becoming increasingly well-known and respected as an extreme sport world-wide.
		And just to confuse matters, the chronological sequence is exterior first (the shanty town followed by the construction site sequences) and then into the already completed Embassy interiors we shot a long time ago in Prague.
		But although he's a novice to this scale of film-making, Sebastien seems to be taking it in his stride.

		Hey this is Frosti, i'm with Sebastien right now and he has just read the post on "Parkour vs Free Running." This is his own response as he said it.
		Hello, this is Sebastien Foucan, I don't want to argue and to speak too much and i know it will never stop being an argument, but the name free running was an idea of a person called Guillaume Pelletier who worked with us at the time of Jump London.
		Sebastien's statement is not very clear (what is he actually saying?).

	Howstuffworks "How Parkour Works"
		It was Belle's love for martial arts films, especially the work of Bruce Lee -- and the scenarios he imagined, often themed around rescue, escape and pursuit -- that inspired him in the early stages of parkour, and remains a source of inspiration for others.
		Parkour is often compared to skateboarding, mostly because it uses urban terrain to perform "tricks." However, most traceurs reject the comparison, finding comparisons to the negative public image of skateboarding (that of rebellious and misguided youth) inaccurate and unfair.
		In this sequel to Jump London that aired in 2005, Foucan and friends expand their boundary to locations throughout Great Britain.

		The film, showing Belle crossing a gridlocked city via the rooftops, was shot without wires and included a breath-taking building-to-building leap, 60m (200ft) above the street.
		Although the pair have gained global stardom - appearing in lucrative advertising campaigns and films - they stress the inner spirit of Parkour is not about financial gain or prestige.
		The Bond chase sequence is being billed as one of the most ambitious in the history of the action series but Foucan is quick to point out the dangers of reckless copycat stunts.
