From the park they moved into the streets, where every object was viewed as something to be climbed up, vaulted over or swung from. Their group leader was the exceptionally athletic seventeen year-old, David Belle, who had been inspired by the heroic exploits of his father, a renowned military firefighter, and by the martial arts films of Bruce Lee. This group became the founders of Parkour or Free-Running (although purists will insist that there is a difference between the two). More than just a sport, Parkour is a discipline and art which aims to develop the body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles with fluidity, efficiency and speed and to apply these skills to the mental as well as the physical challenges in life. In the late nineties, Parkour attracted a huge underground following in France, and gradually emerged across -he world and later entered the mainstream after featuring in the llid-2000s in various documentaries and films, notably Casino Extreme biking ~oyale, starring Sebastien Foucan, another Parkour founder, as a l'ee-running terrorist being chased over rooftops by James Bond.

So instead they started emulating their motocross heroes on their bicycles, wearing full motocross gear. In 1971, a motorcycle racing documentary, On Any Sunday, is generally thought to have inspired a movement which became known as BMX (bicycle motocross). In its opening scenes it showed teenage kids riding their Stingrays, the most popular brand of custom bike, on an off road dirt track, handling them with extraordinary skill and dexterity. The relatively low cost of participating in the sport coupled with the wide availability of places to ride and do tricks meant that BMX became an instant hit nationally. It swept across Europe in the late iving on the edge 70s and in 1981 the International BMX Federation was founded. with the first world championships being held the following year. ~ BASE jumping is an adventure sport which uses a parachute In 2003, the International Olympic Committee voted to include :: Jump from fixed objects, which may either be natural features BMX racing in the 2008 Summer Games, in which 32 men and :.:' man-made structures.
