Someone should tell Santa that rooftops aren't Parkour...
It’s that time again! Christmas is nearly upon us here in the USA and you know what that means…
SANTA PARKOUR!
The tradition of dressing up like Santa Claus and shooting a Parkour video started in 2003 when Suomen Parkour Ry, a group of practitioners from Finland, made a video called “Joulupukki 2003″. (Joulupukki is the Finnish name for Santa Claus) It later became known as “Santa Claus Dash”. They released a video every year for a number of years after that and the tradition has stuck ever since.
There hasn’t been news of a 2009 edition yet but here’s a quick round-up of the previous videos and a few other ones featuring St. Nick himself!
Poster’s Note – It was a little tough to verify which Finnish video was which year. For instance, I think 2006′s video should feature a chase with the Easter Bunny, but the link on their website no longer works. Here is the link to their main website. This is the best I could do. If I’ve mixed any up, forgotten one, or a link doesn’t work, please let me know!)
