Parkour - Free runing
Parkour is a physical discipline inspired by human movement. It focuses on uninterrupted, efficient forward motion over, under, around and through obstacles (both man-made and natural) in one’s environment. Such movement may come in the form of running, jumping, climbing and more complex techniques. The goal of parkour is to adapt one’s movement to any given obstacle.
According to founder David Belle, the spirit of parkour is guided in part by the notions of 
“escape” and “reach”, that is, the idea of using physical agility and quick thinking to get out of difficult situations, and to be able to go anywhere that one desires. Free running, a closely related art emphasizing aesthetics, is most concerned with fluidity and beauty. For example, Sébastien Foucan, a free runner who trained with David Belle during the infancy of the art, speaks of being “fluid like water,” a frequently used simile for the smooth passage of barriers through the use of parkour.
To some people (particularly non-practitioners), parkour is an extreme sport, to others a discipline more comparable to martial arts. Some consider it a combination of the two, recognizing similarities between parkour and the stunts and techniques of Hong Kong martial arts star Jackie Chan (who gained his skills from being trained for Beijing Opera), whose fight and chase scenes take place in industrial or urban environments. Still others see it as an art form akin to dance: a way to encapsulate human movement in its most beautiful form. Parkour is often connected with the idea of freedom, in the form of the ability to overcome aspects of one’s surroundings that tend to confine; for example, railings, staircases, or walls, it also encompasses freedom on a non-physical level. The practice of parkour requires considerable physical and mental dedication, and many adherents describe it as a “way of life.”

Red bull rampage
The Red Bull Rampage was one of the last freeride events of the year as well as one of the craziest. This event takes riders down some of the most technical terain in Utah. Riders are judged on several levels including style and the difficulty of the lines they take. The best judged run down the mountain wins.

Jamie Pierre record breaking 255 foot
Jamie Pierre successfully jumped a record breaking 255 foot cliff off the backside of Fred’s Mountain located just outside the boundaries of Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, WY. The feat occurred on January 25, 2006 witnessed by the Teton Gravity Research production team.
Pierre recor
After researching the monster air for more than seven years, Pierre finally found conditions that were suitable for the jump. In communication with professional skier and 20 year Jackson Hole local, Jason Tattersall, Jaime and “Tat” determined that thesnowpack was in prime condition for the jump.
Tattersall had rapelled the cliff during the summer months to examine the sheerness of the cliff and find out the features that lie under the snow in the landing zone. Tattersall reported seeing nothing bigger than softball size rocks on the steep terrain.
Withheavy and persistent snowfall having brought 335+ inches (27.9 feet) to the Tetons this winter, it was primed with a deep and consistent landing necessary to support the intense impact.
Before the shoot Pierre was heard saying: “If I do this I am not going to get hurt.” So after 30 minutes of preparation, full confidence and a brief prayer Pierre leapt off the massive buttress, holding a mute grab in first 50 feet and then continuing the 4 second freefall before hitting the snow. Jamie’s bomb hole left him buried 6 feet under the snow for roughly a minute until he was dug out by nearby photographer, Adam Clark. He skied away making deep powder turns from the record breaking air with a mere bloody lip.
Josh Nielsen, TGR’s supervising producer was onsite said this of the event: “It was a really, really heavy and intense experience for all of us, the event was managed by Pierre and we were kind of along for the ride”
The cliff was initially measured at 245 feet with a rage finder used for B.A.S.E. jumping. The day after photographer Wade McKoy went back to the site and measured the jump by rope with the speculation that the distance is greater, with the closer to exact result of 255 feet.
When asked, “How did you feel that night?” Pierre replied “That was the best night of sleep I have had since becoming a professional skier some 16 years ago.”
