Parkour is a ridiculous urban sport involving climbing and flipping around buildings–essentially, a sport for people whose poor team skills preclude actual sports. The stairs by Village A provided some parkouring kids the opportunity to climb upside-down and freak the straights:
Some of their cronies also jump off rocks in Rosslyn. It’s cool, but I think this video would’ve been 100 times cooler if a recognizable landmark or congressman were vigorously parkoured. This is Washington, after all. You can climb under staircases in Waco.

I saw some kids parkouring last night at the entrance to the football field on 38th. They were running up & down two brick walls across from each other–it kind of looked like they were on a half-pipe but with no skateboards. I have to agree it’d be much cooler if they were running between, say, the huge columns at the Lincoln memorial or something.
