MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge

MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge showcases the hottest new extreme sport to take the world by storm-parkour, or freerunning. The series is produced in cooperation with the WFPF, or the World Freerunning & Parkour Federation, an organization established in 2007 to bring together parkour athletes and help introduce the new sport to a mainstream audience. Parkour is the art of overcoming obstacles by adapting one's movement to the environment. It's about getting from A to B as fast as possible, usually in an urban setting, and involves a lot of running, jumping, climbing, and controlled falling. Exhilarating to watch and sometimes extremely dangerous, parkour and freerunning are new sports made for the modern city, where no equipment is needed and the arena is wherever you want. In MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge, great athletes like Danny Ilbaca, Ryan Doyle, and Oleg Vorslav are taken to compete in a variety of urban locations around Southern California. MORE
