Cathedral of junk

In a small suburban backyard in Austin, Texas lies a structure made of lawn mowers, car parts, kitchen utensils, ladders, and pretty much anything else you can think of. It began in 1988 when its architect, Vince Hannemann, started building a clubhouse out of junk, which today he estimates measures over 60 tons of it. Visitors inquire about its significance, but Vince denies any profound meaning. He just did it for fun. He's happy to show visitors its climbing spires of trash and greenery should they be curious enough to come and see it.

The art of displacement

Parkour, or free-running, is the practice of traversing elements in all settings, urban and rural. the goal is to move from one point to another as quickly and efficiently as possible by way of aerial rotations, spins, jumps, flips, and running. People who practice, called traceurs or traceuses, focus on developing physical fitness as well as speed, efficiency, and keen spatial awareness. According to one of the founders, David Belle, the idea is to move in a manner that gets you the furthest, fastest, as if you are running from or chasing something. Other than basic movements and techniques for beginners, there is no list of "moves" in parkour, since there is no particular field that traceurs practice. Every area presents new obstacles and challenges that are only overcome by training on the combination of multiple factors--angle, speed, body type, obstacle make-up, momentum, and absorption and redistribution of energy. It's a unique sport in that it relies on the body itself rather than any equipment.
So, enough of the boring explanation. VIDEO TIME.
