Man flips between buildings and lands on ledge (video) [1]

['David Pescovitz']

Date: 2023-05-23

In the astonishing video above, freerunner Max Webb successfully launches himself off one building and lands on the narrow ledge across the way. The move is called a "cork pre," short for corkscrew precision. According to the Parkour Wiki, a corkscrew is "best described as a one footed, off kilter backflip with at least one 360° 'twist' or rotation." Meanwhile, "precision techniques" are used "to accurately move from one obstacle to another."

As one Redditor comments, "Free running is the coolest looking dumb sport there is, hands down."
