   FREERUNNING
1st Place January 09 Freerunning (also called parkour) is a little bit like skateboarding meets gymnastics plus the Matrix. Anyone who can defy gravity, risk life and limb (for fun) and still look graceful gets my vote!

   BIGDOG ROBOT
3rd Place December 08 This is no I-dog! Boston Dynamics has created the BigDog it "runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load." Boston Dynamics claims it's 'The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth.' Pretty cool... but possibly even more awesome is the beta version.

Freerunning and Wingsuit Base Jumping should win everything ever.

I had gotten so used to the original audio that this new stuff surprised me. Both tracks very mediocre by the way, and nowhere near marvelous.
reply
Is it weird that it makes me feel sad when I see that guy kick the Bigdog? And when it starts slipping on the ice. But then I feel happy again when I see him loping about!

Even Dwight K. Schrute approves of Parkour.
reply
It seems like this should be called Free Jumping. The running part strikes me as very incidental.
