This is what being a daredevil acrobat looks like

It's been a while since we've seen a parkour video this good.

It's been a while since we've seen a daredevil parkour video this good.

Parkour, or free-running videos were big on the internet a few years ago, but eventually ended up being teenagers jumping off pedestrian bollards.

This is not one of those videos.

In this parkour video, a madman runs across rooftops in Cambridge, jumping from one building to the one across the street, with zero fear.

Suffer from vertigo? Might not be for you.

The insane man running here is James Kingston, who's done some other mind-bending videos: like the time he climbed a construction crane in Southampton, saying afterwards "I didn't go up there to die. I went up there to live."

Which is a pretty awesome thing to say.

Gaming blog Kotaku picked up on the video's resemblance to the video game "Mirror's Edge", a sequel for which was just announced, and the resemblance is uncanny. The camera bobs and weaves just right, and even the ground rolls - which runners use to reduce impact from a fall, by the way - are spot-on.

And let's face it, that's the closest most of us are ever going to get.
