I prefer this type of video. Raw sounds. The silences and the different trials and errors. You can feel the calmness and the effort. No dubstep music. No "momma look at me!" attitude that many guys seem to have... so desperate for attention. This guy is inspirational. Great video!

no this sucks, his sweats are not even close to baggy enough. Thats the most important thing, sure the moves are great and all but without baggy sweats, its all in vain.

Sebastien seems to focus more on the movements and the flow. There seems to be something spiritual involved for him. I agree about the music. I prefer this approach to a video. 👍🏼🙏

this guy has muscles like an olympic athlete. 20 years of hard training.. very admirable

What I love about his style is it's so minimalistic. As a female, I would love to be able to do it this way. No frills but a steady style that is very fundamentally strong.

I'm an older (past middle-aged now) woman yet I love watching what the human body is capable of. What he does takes effort as seen by his breathing and sweating. Yet it seems so fluid - almost effortless. I so SO wish my body had been capable of stuff like this. **** When I was a pre-teen, I used to beg to send away for the Charles Atlas body-building course on the back of old DC comics but my parents scoffed at a girl asking. I begged to be allowed swimming lessons and never got those either. Still, many decades later, I'm slim and in pretty good shape and strong for my age and small-boned frame. And I can watch videos like this (plus surfing videos) and marvel at what our bodies can be capable of

I really hope that the practice in this video doesn't become lost on future generations. No dubstep, no double flips, minimal if any music and no ego here. It's just him and the stuff around him (and a cameraman to capture it too i guess) He's just playing through the space. Learning to deeply enjoy the basic movements you've performed before can be just as difficult as learning a new double flip in some respects.

I'll show this to my future kids

The pioneer! I am 43 years old I coming back to the Racine thanks to Sébastien and David for this .

Still remember the Day i met him and praticed With him:) priceless

I love the humanity of this video. Sebastian Foucan is an icon in Parkour, and here he is, with a friend filming him, just running around like a normal guy doing the essentials of parkour in their intended spender. Who cares if this video features craziness or not; the point is, even masters must practice.

ive watch this so many times, I love this man

I Like how this shows the trials every traceur goes through... especially when training alone. Pushing yourself, and practicing till everything flows perfectly.

this video is so peaceful and real...anyone watching this in 2018?

This video is not about showing of, what he can do. I think Sébastien is showing the fundamentals of parkour and free running. This video is about the effort of continuous self-improvement and the mental strength behind each traceur's movements. I respect him very much for this.

Sebastien, i will catch you, you have been my inspiration since the first time i saw my first ever parkour/freerunning video, Thankyou, Shea Edwards

The man who started it all..

I like the fact he always tries again after he fails. That's the spirit. :)

Beautiful video. Reminds us that this is not about the giant jumps, the precise cat leaps, the spectacular flips. It's all about mind, heart and walking a path with those later 2 in hand.

most inspirational freerunning video to date. probably because it's not all urban gymnastics. it's raw. it's beautiful.

For all of you guys saying the word "better" in any case thats just one of the biggest insults to both parties involved. There is no better against one another, the only better is to better yourself. If someone said to me "hey man, your so good! your so much better than so and so" that would honestly be an insult to me. Its self expressive, so there is no way you can compare one another. Think of it this way... Lets take painting. okay, think of the first person who invented/discovered painting. he/she probably used fruits and blood and other natural ingredient to make the paint, and then applied it to cave walls with his/her hands or some sort of brush that was hand made. now, in 2014 the process has become much easier, you can simply buy paint and a canvas instead of a cave wall. Sebastian, David, ect. the other "founders" of parkour had no guide lines like the first painter. they didnt have the internet to see what works and what doesn't. they were pulling the movement straight out of their imagination. By comparing them to someone who has the internet with pretty much every parkour movement that has ever been done ever, countless tutorials, and most likely a parkour gym/park that is open or soon to be made near by because of the expanding community, you are comparing cave paintings to Picasso. simply stated, someone was innovative and started something big, but humble. and the rest of the world took off with it. so stop it. when you say better it makes everyone look bad.

Sébastien Foucan is a real human with real progression after all, I love this video!

I love how he says, "you can't catch me, I'm too fast", as it is a simple fact. He's not bragging; he seems to be as surprised as anyone.

Sebastien Foucan is one of my favorite traceurs ever. a living legend of parkour and inspiration. the master's always practice the basics which is part of why they are the masters.

this really shows how practice is important and also humanizes the art. Nothing in life is perfect. Or else will we ever learn and grow. Thank you Sébastien Foucan

What I love most about this video is that the longest practitioners take their time, plan, practice, and then finally execute. I like seeing the process, not just the end-result showreal. This is much more inspiring the me!

IM FREAKING MEETING HIM TOMORROW!!!!!!!

Did anyone else hear him say, "We need to go back to our childhood?" If he did, he's absolutely right. Many adults have forgotten the freedom of movement of our childhood, the simple joy of just running around and using our bodies the way God intended us to use them. When I was a kid in grammar school, me and my pal Thomas would play always play tag at recess, and we would climb and jump off ANYTHING. Half the fun was just flying and being free. I think we kids had captured the heart of parkour.

There are people out there that have trained for only a few years, and can do all sorts of crazy things. And there is this guy right here, who has been training for like twenty years, and devoted his life for this. The trained eye can REALLY tell. The strength, flow and passion is truly there. That one frontflip he did beats most of the double frontflips I have seen. Him an many others have illuminated the paths for others, that's why the "new generation" progresses much faster.

Still watching this in 2018 dude love your lifestyle

david belle and Sebastian foucan r the reason why parkour and free running is now a sport

This is an awesome video. I think it's an awesome tool for beginners and for the more experienced because it shows Sebastien failing while trying to learn moves. The videos of people showing off what they can do are great and fun to watch but I think this is more important, showing the real majority of time spent doing parkour: failing and learning from it.

One of the most spiritual Parkour/Freerun Vids I have seen, thanks for the invite. Great to see you still strong and youthful Seb. Zeno

I like this vid. It shows someone thinking, "Hey, I could have done more with that." and then going back and doing it again, which is very true to what you actually do on the street.

The attention to fluidity and repetition is what I admire about this man. That's what it's all about. Not cool tricks and showing off, it's an art and should be treated as such. Tricks are fun but come second.

Sébastien, it's awesome to see that you still have fun whilst you're training. You put a smile on my face!

the grace and elegance in this is incredible.

feel ur vein pulsing....this is a way of life....this is the philosophy of life....NO obstacles can chain our spirit.....salute to the legend of Sebastian...ur gr8 fan..

i love how this doesn't just show all of the glamour of parkour....it shows the progression of the movements and the emotion involved in training...much love to Sébastien he is my hero and role model

U are the best Sebastien !

The most beatiful video of all time.

like a metaphor for the life, like art...just real!!! respect for this video

WOW just wonderful This emotions in sebástiens whole movements! The world is the picture and he is the artist! big respect

this is beautiful. when im going to see parkour videos y only see jumps but when i see parkour of Sebastien or David Belle i see beautiful things.that is the real parkour.Parkour comes from within.Many people just use parkour to stand out among the others but parkour is life.

so much respect for this guy, true inspiration!

When it comes to chilled parkour videos this is definily one of my absolute favorites, along with parkour generations video ''Vision'', plus Illabacas ''Reaching Out ''. I don't really understand why videos always have to contain big jumps, acrobatics and such. It's the beauty and love of the movements that is important not the movement itself.

Such a beautiful video. I am so amazed. I just love the way he concentrate on the pure movement. Not like this modern parkour videos concetrate on big jumps and overdoing everything. This is the man who has invented this kind of movement with Belle, Kazuma and rest of legends. Big respect for Foucan!!!

I love seeing him go through the trick and breaking the flow down.. I know that feeling

I really appreciate him doing a video like this. It shows that even he goes through difficulties in parkour and that his movements are imperfectly human. Seeing him overcome his difficulties assures me that I can do similar if not greater things.

I love this video because it isn't all flashy and full of the biggest and most dangerous jumps. It's simple. It's training. And including the mistakes and the build up touches me because that's how it is. You don't always get it first time but when you succeed you feel great for doing it and proud of your work

One of the best video ever

Amazing video! Thank you very much!

when you can do something with such beauty it means your in total control, this video inspired me to never give up and be in harmony with my environment and be in control of my life, thanks Sebastian :) for being an inspiration to me and others, peace be with you x

I cant help but feel a major inspiration from this video.

very inspiring sébastien thank you !

this video shows the real courage that a traceur has when he wants to improve himself

thanks for this video I saw you in casino royal and you motivated me by being free and feeling like an animal I always wished to be a leopard.I learned some of your stunts but they are never perfect.

This is actually beautiful. Made me tear up a bit.

That's what this sport is about. The struggle to know yourself, and to overcoming obstacles, and movement. Not just tricking.

I love what you do! Cheers!

sebastien foucan is the perfect excample of practice :) the best

He is amazing. Not just his movement but his philosophy on parkour/freeruninng.

I'm deeply touched by the part from 2:18 till 3:12. Nowadays, there are many practitioners who can do that jump. They do it and move on to the next (bigger) one. Sébastien has been training for so long now, his body has aged but still he has the strength to do this. It gives me hope because im training for so many years now and my body will also start to age soon. But now i see that by determination you can always go back to your former self. Because the movement is in your system, your life...

this is so inspirational. i love it

I don't now what can I say. You are amazing.

this should be in the olympics because this man shows such determination to do his best. hes one of the greats of free running / parkour

You have to respect extreme dedication, no matter what the person is dedicated to. Inspiring.

So passionate . Amazing to watch u , Sebastian . This is what parkour is all about . The true spirit of it . 1:28 see how much he's enjoyin it . Salute to the legend !!

PERFECT !!!

nothing in life is easy, this video show's it great one

beautiful. Amzing to see what the human body is capable of!

I love this video for It's simplicity. It pretty much tells that childplay is important, aswell as determination and willpower. I don't understand why people think it's bad because he's not doing big jumps and acrobatics. The whole video glows of passion. It's intresting how none of the nine founders never show off in order to boost their own go, by going to competitions, posting loads of fast paced videos with fisheye lense. Wich probably 70% of the community seems to do nowdays.

You're a master man! I admire you

i love this video so much, not the fact that it is insane clips in it, but that it is so artistic and it shows people how things evolve from zero to hero :)

inspiring and the sound of his shoes hitting the asphalt 1 of the most inspiring videos ive ever seen :)

this is just amazing.. the determination... the enthusiasm... that what made him be at the level he is.. he had dedicated his whole life to this, and look where he is, simply amazing life example. if you want something, you must go for it, and never give up, because if you wont give up, you will succeed, it's all a matter of practice, determination, and will, high as the sky.

Thank you SEB!!! I love seeing your art it would be amazing to train with you! And just talk about life and how freerunning is an art that has changed our lives. So if you ever come to the states come to the west coast.

I love this, his movements are so smooth and precise

Much respect for this guy and for movement's.

the best thing about this video is that it shows how no one, not even the legends like Foucan or Belle, is perfect. We all have to stop and reevaluate our flow, and we are constantly improving. Parkour is not a sport, because you can master a sport. It is an art. Art cannot be constricted to guidelines or limitations. Vivre Parkour.

Beautiful.

Granted he is also 38 years old which makes his refined motions so much more amazing to watch.

ok man i need to learn this now im your big fan..!! really like this vdo..!!

this really inspires me to work harder, train harder and just not give up

"You can't catch me, I'm too fast!" :)

Looking forward to more videos

I love it ,

Amazing.

i love this Video, i love Sébastien Foucan, thats Parkour I can´t find words for this beautiful piece. ART Don´t forget to use you´r body and be free...

Respect!

It's Ok Friend. There will always be people who will criticize you in some way. & there will also be people who will support you even in last breath. Just be proud of what you are & Grow from within. Show them what they have missed.

sebastien foucan is the perfect excample of practice makes perfect

great vid mate. peace .

Sebastian is very strong! CONGRATULATIONS! Hugs from Gospel Parkour (Brazil)

Legend!

love that sounds

Inspiring!

He's awesome. I do also do parkour. I'm 13 and i have done parkour in one and a half year know and i love Parkour. Sebastian Foucan is the best :D

great.....!

Retour A La Racine - Return to the roots .. Which is why all of this is basics. Perfect the basics to be better when you return to the advanced.

I like this video its a nice one it just show how much mindfight you can have for a jump, to do it again again agin until you reach your goal !

beautiful.

Good to se Foucan in action!
