Ruslan Dzavadov is quickly gaining recognition as not only an incredible Tracer but also an outstanding Parkour coach. Here is another mix tape featuring him exclusively. With eye popping jumps, drops and other impressive techniques, be warned that Ruslan makes it looks much easier than it really is. Featuring music by Kanye West and extraordinary cinematography, this mix tape includes footage from Ruslan’s Tunisiana edit and continues his tradition of turning out incredible Parkour videos.
Here is another classic Yamaksi video featuring Yann Hnautra, Châu Belle-Dinh, Laurent Piemontesi, Willams Belle and some of the Yamakasi’s students. Most of the performance and movement is directly attributable to the Yamakasi style, in the case of what is showcased in this video most of it would not be considered Parkour. Nevertheless, as a way to enjoy movement and train, this is all very good for developing the physical capability, including the sense of trust and confidence essential to Parkour. This video was edited by William Belle.
This is a video from an amateur group named Levity. Although this video demonstrates a much more basic level of Parkour than we typically feature on MisterParkour.com we were drawn to this video because of how it presented the calmer and more artistic side of Parkour.* Too often the beauty of the art is drowned out by the hip-hop music and eye-popping visuals that Tracers choose to showcase in their videos. But to reach those levels it takes dedicated training and a deep focus, which is why we think this film will help others get back to the fundamentals. Featuring music from Apocalyptica, this video turned out great, not because of the advanced levels of the Tracers but rather because of its vision and perspective.

Here is an excellent Parkour video that was submitted to us from New Zealand by members of MisterParkour.com. Unlike the vast majority of Parkour videos which are mix tapes or training videos, this is a short film and it actually has a plot! Take your time to enjoy the pure Parkour action; it’s all in slow motion and the momentous climax is a nice finishing touch.
What are the capabilities of the human body in terms of absorbing impact? In Parkour this is a very important question because it sets the physical limits with which Tracers can perform. Regardless of what you think those limits are, Ruslan Dzavadov has been working hard to redefine the common perception of the human capability, and he shows it off well with this huge jumped he performed in Tai Pei, Taiwan. Members of the international Parkour community will debate whether movements like these can be repeated frequently without injury, however, at MisterParkour.com we firmly believe that with the proper training the necessary physical tools develop to make moves like this very sustainable indeed.
Titled Excelsior, a Latin word for ‘ever upward’ or ‘higher’, this video is an excellent overall Parkour mix tape features Chris “Blane” Rowat. The video showcases impressive athleticism, jumping ability, mental focus, precision and Parkour technique.
We really have come to an unfortunate impasse here at MisterParkour.com. With the worldwide collection of David Belle videos practically used up (because they are all already on this site), we have been unable to find very many new videos to feature that compare well to the content we already have. With that said we are always looking for new “True to Parkour” videos, text, and articles of all kinds to feature so if you know of any feel free to let us know through our contact page.
Even though the new opportunities to feature David on this site are almost gone, a few remain. Here is a video that we thought, in general, was pretty good. It features Team Tracer’s during their 2006 trip to Lisses, and David even shows up for a couple frames. Although this 10 min video features an uncommon and possibly unfitting musical soundtrack, the footage, action, film quality are superb.
Here is a spectacular Parkour mix-tape featuring the Yamakasi. A handful of their students also perform in the video, but the majority of the footage includes Yann Hnautra, Châu Belle-Dinh, and Laurent Piemontesi. You may recognize many of the locations as being in and around Lisses and Evry, however many of the moves performed are original to the structures and specifically attributable to the Yamakasi’s style. Although there is a noteworthy amount of flips and aesthetic non-necessary movement in many of the sequences, the majority of the action is a pure demonstration of efficient Parkour athleticism. Highly entertaining for the outstanding athletic performance and faced paced action showcased in the video, an excellent music accompaniment also contributes to making this mix-tape extremely engaging for its viewers.
Here is an incredible Parkour video featuring Ruslan Dzavadov. Filmed by Oleg “Red” Krasnyanskiy of Tracers.ru, the high production quality is trumped only by the incredible David-Belle-esk performance turned in by Ruslan. Filmed in Tunisiana this video features great music and, for once in a blue moon, pure Parkour.
This is an older, but nevertheless superb compilation of great Parkour action. The video features many prominent Tracers including David Belle, Sébastien Foucan, Stephane Vigroux, and members of the Yamakasi to name a few, and contains footage from Le Tuyau, Un Lundi Cool, the Bont Commercial and BBC Commercial both featuring David, Accroches Toi, Speed Air Man, and other prominent videos.
