[@tyvonable]

fake or not, this was real entertainment.

[@rowleywfcgmailcom]

its real alright, legit urban trials right there

[@SPOOKiE_GRND]

mrthatguy Rowley the candy glass and wall were a setup but it was really nice either way.

[@rowleywfcgmailcom]

true that but still pretty dam awsome

[@steviezace]

Agree. Saw this on the BBC channel last week and was blown away by the Talent of all 3

[@erikwahl522]

Not fake but it feels kind of planned the paths they take to create maximum entertainment.

"You Know There's a lift" -James May

[@MatBaconMC]

There's Parkour, there's freerunning, and then there are these two guys.

[@lorenzs5678]

Wdym

[@erbium4308]

I've just realized that his bike doesn't have a seat. XD

[@tylergarlick7619]

It's a trials bike they don't have Seats and he's the best trial bike rider

[@FantasticTables2]

Seats? SEATS? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING SEATS?!

[@LattiMonstaaa]

This is actually very well filmed, not to mention the batman music.

[@greenknitter]

LattiMonstaaa Well it IS the BBC :)

[@tommylau7457]

So impressive going though the window but not getting hurt...

[@cloroxbleach37]

Tommy Lau looked like sugar glass

[@chillforest6488]

5 Minutes of PURE ASTOUNDING JAW-DROPPING AWESOMENESS.

[@brunoalvesdays]

That last motorcycle jump is an impossible jump with that kinde of bike... He must have landed in a foam pit. But it was a very nice demonstration of all 3 athletes skill. Well done BBC.

[@CalverTz]

Nice use of a remixed version of the 'Batman Dark Knight Rises' Theme in the Background

[@raheelshaik2512]

I'm not the only one. The brass made it obv.

[@01Trickster]

Storm Freerunning!

[@MRGENERATIONADD]

4 LIFE!!!

[@all4ther]

No way in hell this isn't staged.

[@calebedwards7836]

What I was thinking. especially when they break through the glass with the camera perfectly set up.

[@ronniedavis9863]

+Caleb Edwards of course some of it is stage, they aren't just gonna wing it

[@tylerrobblee8038]

+Mitch™ OreBay every episode is..... it's scripted and designed by the producers

[@dejvidrizo]

+Mitch™ OreBay on 1.49 you can clearly see multiple tyre tracks.

[@erodict5840]

Well duh, who the fuck would get perfect slowmo shots of them and allowing them to just ranomly jump trough glass

[@LDK447]

"meanwhile, they tried a more direct approach..." guys jump through windows, bike smashes through walls... "oh, by the way, there's a lift"

[@inafusabi]

I haven't been entertaind on this level in a long time. A special thank you, to the editors who made it look like one seamless sequence...

[@Whackfear]

some say, he doesnt understand our concept of sound. and that he has never heard anything. all we know is, hes the top gear sound technician!

[@KNIGH7]

This is just incredible. A brilliant mix of parkour, and going through nostalgia fuel.

[@Tr1pMind]

Maybe if they were doing parkour they would have made it quicker lol

[@SoulTouchMusic93]

"You know there's a lift?!" =)) THAT face!

[@ianpatterson6202]

Probably one of the best trial riders of our generation, yes must have been rehearsed but it was always great entertainment.

[@parkyounghee4516]

I've never seen like this before. BBC...YOU GUYS ARE REALLY AWESOME AND THESE GUYS ARE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE!!

[@kathowed]

Brilliant! And delightfully surprising: I thought I'd seen all the original episodes. So thank you for sharing!

[@sonsu27]

i like how the background music is one of the scores from the dark knight trilogy ost

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

That was incredible...

[@sarahtorrance173]

That is so freakin awesome, all three of them are incredible

[@BrownLenny]

Total action pack thanks guys well done montage.

[@archangel9191]

00:55 - "They are literally Breaking News", 01:51 - "Having found himself, literally in a lock-in in the BBC bar...", 02:26 - "Oh, yeah, the Health & Safety Dept. will have something to say about that", 04:18 - Showoff! Sorry, I couldn't resist, brilliant commentary, whatever from James May, he should do stand-up or something, if not, he should probably do Formula 01 or, better, maybe, NASCAR commentary for a while, as a guest or something.

[@DarkSterix]

this would've been very easy for the 'hulk'

[@claire5161]

This is my favorite part of a top gear episode ever

[@minchnails]

Very exciting!

[@example2844]

I love watching free runners. It's such a badass skill to watch

[@sonyviva308]

[@LordAzimar]

[@dancing_all_night_long]

[@emmanueldidal]

1:05 - 1:08 : GOODBYE, KNEES.

[@emmanueldidal]

2:59 - 3:03 : Mind your step -- no, mind the gap.

[@sashashin3629]

A traceur can make that drop without hurting their knees if they train sufficiently.

[@emmanueldidal]

LOL Yes you are accurate.

[@matthewb3774]

This looks amazing but very challenging!

[@basilanan]

BBC's cinematography is fricking brilliant. On subject however, Parkour is...well awesome!

[@nachom.c.6087]

INCREIBLE

[@CaptainAndyman]

Actually, they'll have done what Top Gear always do - have the actual race, with a few cameras dotted around (ones on the roof, attached to the bike, etc.), get the result, and then go back and film the majority of the 'action' shots, since they can't have cameras covering every part of their course during the race.

[@Gipclash]

WOW this is awesome

[@Cheo97]

Tremendous choreography, nice work

[@goodebening6564]

Daaaim maan how tha hell did i miss this and i am a top gear fan. This was blady awesome

[@Bav-s30z]

This feels like an escape movie, I really expected that biker guy to pull out a Smith and Wesson at the 2 freerunners

[@RolfChenIsAwesome]
