In other news, although the video quality isn't that great...

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. No, really.

Am I supposed to "know" that it's fake? Or is it just the skeptic in me that is thinking a lot of it looks like video manipulation?

[conuly]

Dude. Do we care? It's cool. I want to believe that it's possible, even though I know that I (and probably hardly anybody in the universe) couldn't do it.

I've seen very similar things done on the television, presented in such a way and from such a source as to make me believe it was genuine. (It was on the BBC, and they tend to have a decent reputation for honesty; and the picture was very clear, so that if it was a video manipulation, it was a very good and probably very expensive one.) I also can't think of any physical or biological reason why anything it depicts is impossible. I suppose this particular video could be a fake, but Idon't see any pressing reason why it should need to be.

Wow...even if it was video-manipulated, that's danged impressive! And he looks like he's having shitons of fun. :-)

Do a search on "parkour"... there's lots of these out there, and they're all really cool.

My comment was made based on the way things looked, not their perceived difficulty/possibility. So basically, I don't see why it would *need* to be either, aside from the fact that quite a lot of it *looks* to be manipulated. It would be hard for me to explain further (such as which portions and why) to anyone who isn't sitting right next to me viewing it with me, so I'm afraid that's all I can say on the matter.
