All i can say is WOW! I'm in awe of the dexterity, balance and strength of those guys able to do those sort of 'stunts'. The jump that one of them did across a set of stairs where it looked like he ran along the vertical wall was amazing. The co-ordination required to do that is incredible.
As said above, this has to be the best tv i've seen in ages.....well apart from 'The Games'..

The black guy did a handstand on the hand rail of the National Theate about 4 floors up and with a drop to the concrete below - bejeezus that looked impressive. And his physique!! The build on him was just incredible.
Great TV...

as has been said really...
the skill of these guys is unbeleiveable, but the way the programme was shot was too staged - a free approach to the camera work would have worked better, other than the noise they called music, that it was a good proggy.
can't see it taking off in any great way over here.

What a fantastic program!!!!!!!!!
The dexterity and agility of these guys was something to behold.
It makes so much sense, when my mum explained that as a kid, I used to run along the bannister that surrounds our staircase at home, with a 18 foot drop below - it's the same mentality.
Plus, they got to run along the roof of my old school, which is something I never managed to achieve!!!!!!!!!!

When the guy did the drop from HMS Belfast were there crashpads to break the fall? It was a little hidden in the shot... sorry feeling cynical, but they were fantastic - would love to have that ability!

I suspected crash mats as well due to the camera being below where he lands so as to not show him landing, just enough angle to see him do the roll forward etc. Even still, the stuff they were doing was very impressive and highly skilled, just hope not too many kids/teenagers think they can give it a go.

Didn't they show that jump on the HMS Belfast from a different angle (near the end of the programme) where he landed into a forward roll?
That said, I thought I saw a crash mat from the first shot head on, but didn't see it from the side on shot.
I'll double check tonight as I got Tivo to record it!

Bit too much "philosophy" for my liking - and it's hard to look quite as grave as the black geezer managed while quoting The Matrix, but fair play, the actual athleticism was awesome. One of the rooftop-to-rooftop jumps looked 15-20 feet, but the best bit had to be the running along the vertical wall someone mentioned before. also crash mats or not they were clearly busting themselves up doing it so it seems real enough to me. Still think I'll get the bus home tonight...
