Sébastien Foucan

Known for his views on the philosophy of parkour and freerunning, Foucan stresses the need for training in the basics of both for individual safety and to maintain a positive public perception of the activities.

In addition to those programmes, Foucan appeared as Mollaka in the James Bond film Casino Royale.

[4] Foucan appeared in the music video for Madonna's 2005 single "Jump", accompanying the singer on her 2006 "Confessions Tour".

Foucan has also won World Chase Tag PRO 2 GO Europe[7] with the team he founded and created, Blacklist.

Foucan attributed the name free running to Guillaume Pelletier, who he had worked with at the time of Jump London.

[10][11][12] Foucan's dissatisfaction with Parkour's limited creativity and self-expression motivated him to develop a similar art of movement which became known as freerunning.

A kind of demonstration mixing parkour techniques, and acrobatics to be more spectacular and serve the medias and marketing, but also a sport.

I mean, when you practice to show how spectacular your jump is gonna be, people aren't focused anymore on the difficulty, on the obstacle but on you.
