oh fanboys...

Hee, so you know how fangirls are generally considered the most irrational, scary and obsessive force in the universe? Well, let me tell you, fangirls have NOTHING on fanboys.

There's this parkour blog that I occasionally visit because it's in English and because it has the most comprehensive collection of David's demos on the web. They have recently started posting the episodes of the B13-Ultimatum filming diary, and ep 5 was prefaced thusly:

Pay special attention to David’s movements at :37 in the video. Although some might not think anything about David’s movements at this point in the action, what David does is actually an incredible testament to his athleticism. We will be posting an exclusive MisterParkour.com article explaining this concept and referencing this part of this clip specifically after this B13 – Ultimatum series is concluded.

Usually when they point to a specific moment in a video it's quite interesting, most often offering a glimpse a particular movement or technique, eg. how to place your hands on a railing when you want to do a 180 spin or some such. So naturally I clicked to watch, wondering what an amazing feat I've managed to overlook the 30 or so times I've watched ep 5 previously:

second 30: David ducking bullets

second 33: David running

second 35: David diving for cover

second 37: David... crouching by a wall

BUZZUH?

...I'm quite looking forward to that article that is going to explain how exactly that is such an athletic achievement...

Hey, to me crouching's athletic, definitively! Okay, I'm overweighted and with knee arthrosis LOL

Ah yes, I can see how crouching would indeed be incredibly impressive under such circumstances ;-)

Seriously, though, I hope your knee is not giving you too much trouble?
