4:38 is an overlooked gem of a joke from May
It's the reason I'm here 😂. Something has just reminded me of it and I had to find it.
The stamina these guys have is incredible, I mean a flat out 6 mile run would be taxing on the average person, but to do that whilst swan diving off 2 story buildings and leaping over cars, pillar boxes and people must really take it out on your whole body! These guys were amazing!!!
I'm dead after 13 feet so these guys are from space
@@tenderjerky3504 😂😂
@@tenderjerky3504 maybe they Superman relatives.
I mean they may have done the actual race, but probably not with the camera men lol
Although, maybe they planned the route and told the camera men to stand there?
04:23
Me in 2004: " Yeah I can totally do that"
Me in 2022: " I can feel the broken ankle and hernia from here"
That "come on" at 6:25 sounded like Jezza Clarkson 😆
"Why isn't it called Lyverpool?" haha
15 years later and these guys are still bloody legends
An eipod connector
When is anyone gonna bring May up to date with technology 😩
"James May, possibly the slowest driver in Britain" Made me laugh, indeed the only guy who won't get off the first two gears on a Ferrari.
3:50 "Those damn kids having fun! They should be working in the shoe factory!"
God those guys must be fit as hell, running and jumping constantly for however long the race took.
It's clearly staged 🙄
"a very pretty car"
it looks like the jokers crazy scary smile
Parkour: The French Martial Art of running away.
James May:- How much zoom do you need?
Director:- YES
IM THE LITTLE GIRL STANDING UP IN THIS! AHA ITS SO FUNNY TO SEE MYSLEF;D
Damn, how old are u now, i wasnt there and it feels weird to see someone else talk like that oof
You must be around my age then
This world is crazy!
What’s the time stamp? 2:31?
@@erockstoenescu6171 nope, as I u understand - those three kids on a car park earlier than 2:31
Just asking, but how many times have the parkour people broken bones practicing, so that they get it right
Between none and lots. The thing with parkour is slowly building up. You're obviously not gonna jump from massive buildings the first week you start training this, just slowly get better and more confident.
Anders Pedersen You might, but then it'd probably end up being your last week too!
Well there's always any combination of stupidity and/or overconfidence. No cure for that.
I do parkour you do not break your bones that much
the human body is hardier than you would expect
If the parkour people had goten rid of all the none needed flips/jumps they probs would be twice the speed
Normal man: runs along the sidewalk
Parkour people: runs along sidewalk and jumps over a common phone booth.....totally needed
They actually do it to control their landing, iirc.
yep. jumping over the trashcan at 5:07 is 100% required to control their landing
*Freerun people
Listen,
Freerun = cool tricks and stuff
Parkour = A to B As fast as possible
Ok lets do it this way. you jump off about 10 m without doing anything when you land and lets ser if your legs are intact
You know it's staged when James is competitive!

I knew Captain Slow would have had a hard time of it, but I was really impressed by their actually posing atop the building to make sure he noticed them before driving off.
The review of the car (yes, I did take notice of that) was also very well done for the urban driver.
God knows Richard's stuff is on the excitement and Our Host's is sheer bloody power (on the scale of Tool Time), but for people driving in the real world? James May. (Don't even ask what the Stig's is all about!!)
I guess Mr. May didn't know that people who does parkour sometimes climb high buildings for fun.
They are the modern assassins.
Welcome to the brotherhood!
"Keeps them off the streets" :D Love May but he should always have his hair like he had in the Vietnam Special
I agree, they would have planned the route so the camera crew could have got set up where they were going.
Dude with the white shirt is really GOING OFF!... He's Crazy (yet skilled).
Capt' slow: 'scuse me sir do you know where the liver building is?
Man: You mean the Lie-ver building..
Capt' slow: Then why isn't it called Lie-verpool?
Check my page for a new low budget taster FreeRunning video, leave critism, advice or generall thoughts so we can take in account for are new progressing video! Thanks
0:22
Holy crap, it has a TV inside! Composite connection! FUCK YES! I need only that to play PS1 in the car.
I wanna have a Peugoet 207, when I had my driving licence!! The car is so cool ;)
did u ever get one lol. and danggg ur comment is from 11yrs ago!!! 😳
The first Top Gear video with a Top Gear clip
RIP Topgear
Todd Moon yes
You'll never run alone :P
Captain Slow living up to his name.
the guy in white is so cool..diving off like that...got big balls to do that
i like the rant he had in the end about the beer gut belyl and the surf board stomachs and the trousers haha
awesome camera work, ladies and gentlemen!
Except for that first flip in the video, since it actually served to get over the bar quicker than a vault.
It's hilarious seeing those incredible parkourists pulling off that stunning mobility interspersed with a boring guy driving a boring car. :)
I'm trying to get into parkour myself, but it's slow going, especially since I live out in the country, so driving to the city to practice, coupled with being generally out of shape, kind of takes away a lot of the zip. :P
Are you still doing parkour?
Are you still doing parkour?
the song at 1:34 is "fight without honor or humanity" great song i love it
Yay! Sufjan Stevens!
Top Gear is just so much more amusing with May.
Great Video!
Now THAT'S A Victory Pose.
Rightous Vid
6:39 Them blues be playing Vector 💀
Those Parkour cud be the next assassin's creed. All they need now is hey carts.
OMG at the end HANDSTAND REALLY FEARLESS
That was not Parkour, that was FreeRunning..
Awesome challenge!
Awesome Video!
Awesome Moves!
Awesome Car!
Both were represented. The white-shirted one was the flipping acrobatic runner. That's freerunning. The brown-shirted one was more conservative in his jumps and targets, the parkour "puritan" of the pair.
what;s the song at 5:08 called?
btw the handstand at the high building wuz sick
I would love to know how those guys jump off those things. It's really amazing what their body does.
those guys had some serious stamina to do that.....
I'd love to be good at parkour but I think I'm too concerned about my knees...
The ending... LOL!
Thanks! :)
Hahahaha the guys doing the parkour are just like. "What took you so long?"
love the guy at 3:50 haha. what a grump.
that was cool at the end when they were standing at the top of the building
man those free runners were insane!
old person at 3:49 =P love the reaction
notice the scene cut on all the big jumps?
the technique used is called a 'break fall' or 'break roll' and is bloody useful doing that sport.
You've got me. This is one competition that involves traffic lights and congested roads. That was scary.
4:35 is some sick move
amazing parkour!
Love the way he sais ipod
5:06 love It :)
Hell yeah Sujfan Stevens in the beginning. And stuff like this is why Top Gear is the best show on TV.
We're not all shopping!! LOL
I'm 16 and I love this sh, nice
pretty damn impressive for they didnt stop once !
I love this clip xD
those guys are crazy
amazing Parkour
the sad thing about parkour is in real life everyone thinks you're an imbecile but when it is in a game your "skilled."
beasty movement with the white tee guy
I trained for months and months and I learned how to do that! 3:10 to 3:12
@tranz2deep In addition, I should note that for the Parkour/Free Runner connoiseurs out there, the performances the men put on indicate one was more acrobatic than the other, so you can cheer over both variation having defeated James.
Just saying.
This was filmed 2 days before I was born
I bet them parkour boys are like 38 now lol
them guys are sick gud stuff
@h0Ld they could have a pre determind route and place cameramen and fixed cameras at certain points
actually, it was invented for French military training and firemen for use during rescue missions where speed is essential, and obstacles are to be expected.
NIce car, nice end parkour!!!
Captain Slow and his incredible skills.
@TheManForeva tripod* its something u set ur camero onto, it has three legs = the car was on three wheels.
love the killingjoke music :D
Whats the song at 5:32??? I love it but got no idea who it is or the song name!
Parkour is amazing also, wish i could do it but i'm a bit too big for that lmao
I think it's sad that the old people were upset at those guys for running like that when they were really being more green than any car.
does anyone knows the name of the last song?
Killing Joke-Invocation
Haha how the car driver freaks out :D
Parkour and free running is not the same thing.
Parkour is all about moving from one point to another, from A to B, as fast, as efficient and as controlled as possible. Thats why flips and other tricks are considered inefficient and is classed as free running.
Amazing, rly amazing parkour :)
They probably take breaks during the filming. The producers just make it look cooler.
All we need is trance music and we have the quintessence of Europe in the mid 2000's.
I did not expect to hear a Sufjan Stevens song on Top Gear
I’m sorry but anyone who knows Liverpool, knows that it’s not 6 miles from St John’s beacon to the Liver building.
Trouble with this is the race is to the pier head, but when he does a piece to camera, he is driving away from where he is supposed to be going. Then he is stuck at the lights, but he is heading back into Liverpool centre, going the wrong way .
I took my drivings lessons in that car :D I quite like it!
But sadly, mine didn't came with James May :/
what car do you drive now? :)
wow sure they got a nice view from the top of liver building ...
To tell you the truth I would rather have the 206 RC for various reasons. One of them is the looks. I think the 206 looks better than the 207 and one of the other reasons is performance and size. The 206 is small and lightweight and is quite fast. I don't know if anyone else has something else to say about it and prove me wrong but it's my opinion not theirs.
0:20 "It's got an Ippod connector"
5:15 priceless
