He filmed a commercial for Samsung that was supposed to appear in the Olympics, but it appears that even though they paid him to do the video (and quite nicely), his commercial has not come on with him in it. He is really disappointed. Perhaps you can visit his youtube video here and make a comment of support. This video is one of his best pieces of work as a Parkour gymnast. This video will totally get you pumped, and the music is great.

    My son wants to do parkour. I'm scared he'll end up with a broken arm/leg/face.

    let him do it. i plan on trying it once i reach my goal weight. i'll be very girly about it though and train indoors with mats and stuff . i'm too cute to get be bruised, besides that i'm getting old and i'll need the extra padding :laugh:

    Would it be weird for me to tell you how attractive your son is? :laugh:

    Seriously, though, that was very cool! I "liked" it and left a comment.

    WOW. I did a search on youtube. If the "Knox - Freedom is free" video is his too, he's AMAZING. Wow.

    Wow, he is amazing. I really, really, REALLY want him to become a police officer because I would love to see somebody try and outrun him or try and climb a fence in order to evade him. He would totally have them cuffed in an instant.

    I just learned about parkour when I caught American Ninja Warrior a couple of weeks ago and I think it's a great show of athletic ability. Your son looks great in the video - I hope he continues working hard!
