Apparently, no one actually NEEDED wires when they shot the Matrix movies. They just needed guys like these.

It's called parkour (or parcour), and the guy who made it famous is David Belle. Look him up.

Evidently, falling damage is something that only happens to the rest of us.

Jason showed me parkour about a year ago. This past January, I saw a guy doing parkour up the garden ledges along the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art! I'm glad I knew what he was doing, or I might have thought I was hallucinating.

If you haven't seen the French film District B13 (Banlieu 13), find it. The lead actor is an incredible traceur. It's subtitled, but I doubt that would be an issue for you.
