Parkour's Kinda Stupid. Unless You're Wearing A Spider-Man Costume, Of Course
I remember back when a college kid in comfortable shoes running over a couple trash bins could merit a few million Youtube hits. Unfortunately, modern audiences are much more discerning. These days to achieve equally ridiculous viewership the comfortable shoes must be abandoned for a skin tight, trademarked, body suit.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. There is still something decidedly engaging about watching Peter Parkour hurl himself off of a building for the umpteenth time, but -- there will soon come a day when the spandex suit must also be abandoned. Time for something much more extreme, or dare I say it, more xtreme. I predict the rise of jet pack parkour, and the eventual demise of that in favor of robot dinosaur parkour.
The future's so bright my spider-sense is tingling.
