Leeds Leap

After seeing Scott sizing up the gap I just knew he was going to jump it, so I grabbed my camera, framed the scene, and fired off a few shots as he hurtled though the air. And so began my fascination with Parkour.

This photograph was recently on display at Tate Britain in the How We Are: Now exhibition.

    I'm not yet sure what the best is about this shot.
    The JUMP or the CLICK.
    I must really say -- I've never seen nothing like it. !! !!

    little does that guy on the bike know, he's missing something pretty dang crazy. i'm glad this didn't end in a monumental disaster.
