Sébastien Foucan puts Fineside to the test

Fineside launched with the aim of creating functional streetwear which is engineered to move with, and support, your body. It's been challenging at times but now the first range is out there, we wanted to check the garments delivered on this mission statement, so we asked our friend, and co-founder of "Free Running", Sebastien Foucan to put it through it's paces in his home town of Evry near Paris, France.

Decked out in our Asteroids t shirt and Evers hooded sweatshirt Seb leapt, climbed, ran and rolled around the town's buildings and crazy architecture. The garments coped easily with the road test, the hard part was keeping up with him long enough to film it!

So now we know we achieved what we set out to do and Seb's given it the official nod we thought we'd show you what it's capable of so you can Make your Move too at www.fineside.com.

It's really grat, comfortable and exciting to see Sébastian practicing Parkour: Movements and old-school style, actually more efficient than what I've seen out there and on youtube.

[@onreact]

Great to see that the freerunning founder is still as agile as ever with 37 (at the time the movie was shot). This video is also an excellent reminder that freerunning is actually about running, just like in parkour and not flipping back and forth for the sole purpose of posing like most youngsters do these days. Freerunning without moving from one place to another or overcoming obstacles is just tricking. It's repetitive, boring and pointless. I wish there would be more videos like this one. Respect to Fineside for investing in this.

HamburgerFeet LOL, so you know better than Sebastien Foucan, the guy who coined the phrase, what freerunning is?

[@focusbtw6118]

Очень круто

[@bryanamaya3079]

i just love it how his moves are flawless like if hes gliding through the city ...not like others

[@CaptainRex143]

So fluid and clean moves, he adopts the envirement perfectly.

[@levinkandeweer]

We now have a freerunning school in The Netherlands! It is only because a friend of mine that was inspired by Sebastien and others that I came in contact with this sport. I used to run and run and run around town, running against walls and all with some friends, and I am so glad its what it is today, because I have had the best times doing this and now I see those young kids having fun doing this its the best feeling!

[@BlacksVideos]

Wow! Freerunning at its best! I can't believe Seb is born -73. He moves like he was going to live forever, like David and the rest of the Yamakasi guys.

[@itsmebrandaman]

He has such a distinctive style that you can recognise really quickly. And for a guy who is 38, he moves so well. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

[@connors84]

You have helped me in more ways than you know, thankyou

[@n3v3r1s4]

truly exceptional flow! love the efficient way he moves about and just keeps going

[@ally8079]

His moves are totally natural nothing is flashy or to show off. And he is like a monster or a machine, If he was in India we would totally be his pupils. We love what really is parkour.

[@theendlesssuffering]

Much respect to foucan and all of the original yamakasi founders. Hes so beast like he hasnt even aged at all

[@LINKchris87]

So pure and clean! I wish Ill be this fit at your age !!

[@mosu95]

always an inspiration to watch the founders in action! thanks for uploading this

[@djrsbright]

Sweet, a gift with simply but well placed movements wrapped in pretty paper called fluidity. From: Sebastien

[@Salgadopk]

One word: RESPECT

[@Fineside]

For those wanting to know the name of the music. it's a track called "Plastic and Flashing Lights" by Professor Kliq.

[@welmoe]

1:36 Amazing!

[@Lessonswithsenseimatt]

Awesome he’s one of the founding of parkour’s Free Running 🏃‍♀️

[@feli-dparkour]

C'est cool de voir ça ! Après un reportage désastreux des yamaks sur france2 ça fais énormément plaisirs de voir la 1ere génération si bien bouger, beau !

[@TaintedCherub]

37 isn't that old! :P I reckon I'll be doing this til I'm 90 at least ;)

[@emersonrama]

The real parkour can not stop! Congratulations!

[@andrewmuvs]

Glad to see you back and moving well again Seb! Much love.

[@Mictlanpapalotl1]

This should be shown to all that new generations who see parkour as a way to show off... BTW, I wish I could keep my energy even with some years on my back, just as Foucan does.

[@ZadeCallinan]

Séb + New video = Awesome!!!! Glad to see some new footage of him and great to see him moving so well too. Great video! Much respect to him! Look forward to see many more videos of him like this in the future.

[@thatfishbreeder]

A truly simplistic parkour! Absolutely beautiful. None of the gymnastics and inefficiencies of free-running in this video! Don't get me wrong, I love myself some good free-running! But Parkour is where the true efficiency is at.

[@ElijaDoLittle]

Johnny Wilkinson? You going to jump on this ting as well yeah? Great, looking forward to it mate!

[@PadreRSHijo]

Memorable!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IamHueGraves]

dudes got a great bouncy style that makes everything look effortless

[@cinknuga]

man! that brother is in good shape...its amazing how parkour is developing so damn fast that his technique looks really old shchool by now...

[@sacholz]

GRANDE SEBASTIEN!!! Me encantaría tener una buena sesión de entrenamiento y charla con él =)

[@XNinjaBladesX]

Yes. Think he lives in Vauxhall London now, awesome guy trained with him once, his jumps are amazing.

[@ff7dude909]

1:45 - 1:52 Badass slide

[@grazida0276]

Damn! hes really going at it! Glad to see that he isn't done, not at all :)

[@LamZL1]

His legs are as nimble and precise as his hands, his hands have the strength of his legs, and his whole body is as flexible as his fingers. His stamina is only matched by the video marathon I've been on watching his works!

[@ParkourJT]

let it be said, Sebastien is PURE parkour and a complete God among practitioners! =)

[@LeoUrban]

J'adore ! BRAVO , C'EST MAGNIFIQUE SEB !

[@LouisFindlay]

By far one of the best videos I've seen in a long time and defiantly given me some inspiration to carry on

[@aralroca]

love it!!! your movement is not normal, you have a great experience, respect!

[@Jjenner50]

Yes, your right he is. But here he is doing parkour. Freerunning is about artistic movement and parkour is about getting from a to b in the most efficient an fluent way possible.

[@shirleybassey03]

Eeeeeeeeee!!! I still love this video so much - joyful movement and awesome camera work! :D

[@DanielSamek]

Brilliant video!

[@theparkourcode]

Inspired ~ love this video ...

[@smokindatshit8268]

That would be wild to see him play a version of T’Challa in the MCU

[@ithinkdasenup]

4:08 track and field days paid off

[@VladoTraceur]

I dont like videos with different hyper cool flips etc... I like this beauty simple movement.

[@SilverZeal]

Y so many expect Sebstien 2 still b @ his top form....as old as he is he's still prety gd even though not half as much as he was but wat can u do, dats age catching up. Gd vid.

[@Robertreedy1213]

[@dougtraceur]

I would like to still be moving like this when I'm his age.

[@ParkourSchweiz]

[@Straydogsfreerun]

[@StevenObz]

[@Ironfrenky]

[@vicentereyes3812]

Buenisimo!

[@UygarAlan]

Yaşlandın artık be reyiz...

[@mypimptoe]

how does a loose fitting garment "support" the body? if it isnt skin tight then i dont see how it can have any sort of bracing effect this video was pretty sick though

[@4995erik]

yep

[@Jubuljus]

SEEEBB, Respeeeect :)

[@milhouse777]

I want to be Like him when i grow up ;)

[@ParkourTGN]
