I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this, but it does appear to be real.

The video looked pretty cool, although the moves weren't much different from regular acrobatic moves, except that they took place in the streets. Nice touch with the stereotypical Russian neighborhoods, though.

They were very impressive!

But the title of the topic is wrong...as this sport is called 'parkour' (meaning 'free running') which originated in France.

Oops! My bad, Somebody on another forum said that this sport was actually popular, and originated in some of the former Eastern-Bloc countries.
