Girls Can Do Parkour, too? Not so Much.

Topics: Sports Stuff

Wikipedia describes parkour as, “an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.” Basically, “pulling a Jackie Chan”. It was founded by a French guy name David Belle, which explains why the French are very good at it. The guys, anyway. But what about the girls? Um, not so much. Someone put this professionally made video about some “parkour girls” in London. Apparently this is one of those, “if guys can do it, we can do it better” deals. The problem is, they can’t do it better. See the comparisons for yourself.
