Because Peter Parker was a nerd, every geek has wondered what it would be like to be Spiderman. Batman was too rich and good-looking; Superman wasn’t from this world, but Spiderman…he was just like us! So if you want to know what ol’ Spidey goes through daily, watch this incredible video filmed with a GoPro HD Hero3.
It shows you what it would be like to climb walls and jump across building rooftops just like Spiderman.
To be honest, I don’t know if this is crazy-awesome or just freaking crazy-scary. [YouTube via Digg]

DAT JUMP !!!
Having done stuff like this before (without a cam rig though, not willing to risk breaking it) I can say that it’s pretty simple with the right training and fitness. Easy to get wrong if you haven’t got enough practice beforehand though.
Problem is, one mistake and you’re done for. How do you overcome the fear of jumping from high places (across buildings) ?? If you trip and fall, well …
It does go wrong sometimes too.

Exactly what I meant .. ouch. Question is : Is it really worth it ?
“Is it really worth it?”
That all depends on what you do for enjoyment. Personally I like being active and competing with mates, and parkour is a good way to do that. It’s also a good incentive to stay fit and healthy as a slight lapse in strength and things like the above video happen.
Like Spider-Man, except 1 million times slower and more boring.
Pretty awesome to be fair. Consider me impressed.
Okay from now on I’ll consider you impressed.
and theres me thinking spiderman is more of a swinger than a jumper…but fair enough!
