You can download this video and more at their website, Dvinsk Clan (http://dvinsk.no.lv/).

Parkour is a movement art developed by two Frenchmen, Sébastien Foucan and David Belle. Around 2000, Luc Besson wrote a script including them and their art. The two men refused to star in it as it incorrectly describes them as theives. However, Besson was able to convince some of their students to star in the movie which he titled, "Yamikasi" after their association, the Yamikasi Club. More info on the history of Parkour here.

Here are a few phrases that should be stripped from the English language:

"New and Improved"
If it's new, how can it be improved?

"Reverse Racism"
Does racism go only one way?

What the heck is that!?

I noticed it floating by my window the other day and had to take a photo. Looks like some sort of astronomical observatory attached to an oil rig. I think it's some sort of new military prototype weapon or something. Or not...

Anyways, it's size was mammoth. It's resting on an oil tanker barge. The photo does not show it, but the thing was huge!!! Reminds me of that James Bond movie with Jaws, "Dr. No?"
