free running
Rooftop-to-rooftop movement
Free running is a physical discipline involving fluid, acrobatic movement through urban environments—running, jumping, climbing, and vaulting over obstacles like walls, railings, and rooftops.
Unlike parkour, which emphasizes efficient point-to-point travel, free running incorporates flips and stylistic flourishes: He spent weekends free running through the city center.
