No Key? No Problem!

Some people have an excess of energy, nerve/guts, coordination, and talent. For a sometimes heart-pounding and awe-inspiring (in terms of physical prowess) video, watch this Russian Urban Climber.

It's about 10 minutes long. There is less than a minute of unnecessary video effects in the middle -- bear with it -- it's worth it. I laughed out loud when he dives through the car window so cleanly. And the music's excellent (probably even better if you speak or understand French).

This picture doesn't do the video justice.

Two questions:

1. Is this what circus performers do in the off-season to stay in shape and keep themselves entertained?

2. What brand & model of sneakers is he wearing? Shouldn't he be sponsored? (Russia is pretty capitalist now, isn't it?)

For a much more boring (but still way beyond my capabilities) collection of videos, take a look at this French site.
