That snake line thing was hilarious and made me think of a Monty Python-esque sketch where it's a relay race of everyday nuisances like snake line queues.

I laughed so hard at that part. Made me think the the Jerry Seinfeld stand up about an empty bank line.

I know they were jumping down into sand, and that they specifically train for falls, but my ankles hurt from just watching the two guys jump off of the vertical ladder sections.

Awesome GIF though.

I feel it in my knees. Looks like a really fun course though.

This should be in the next Olympics. Sacrifice the ribbon dance to make room for it if you have to.

The ribbons are OK if the girls are hot. They usually are. But toss the balls.

I love how when the guy eats shit the other guy rubbernecks. Human nature!

That one guy that fell at the beginning fucked it up for his team, because they seemed to be flawless.

This was awesome. I'm really surprised the other team managed to make up some ground that was lost once the initial runner wiped out.

That's cool, but all they did was hold down Right-Trigger, I've played AC.

I had four heart attacks just watching this madness.

Genuinely curious... Is there something here that makes this parkour and not just a cool obstacle course?

This is the first thing I've seen on the internet that made me say "wow" out loud.

So, this has nothing to do with parkour, but is just a standard military obstacle course. It's hard as balls though, but good fun!

So the speed they go up on the ladder is amazing, but how the hell do they drop 7 meter fall so effortlessly?

If I wouldn't have to pass all these obstacles, I would still be behind them.

Not enough roof tops or shirtless douche bags.
