Storror, a UK parkour collective. Amazingly talented, made an unbelievable documentary about doing parkour on the rooftops of Asia. I still watch every week but they've done parkour like once in the last 3 months. Everything else is
Then there are "water challenges", ie fairly easy jumps but you fall in a canal if you miss. One guy already had a career ending injury doing this and is now a camera man, another hurt himself badly and you can tell he's lost patience with it.
I never heard of them and pulled up the channel... that's a lot of circles and arrows pointing at things.
Even the best soldiers can fall to click bait.
It's sad because they're capable of so much!

Oof, I blame youtube. They pay jack all on videos like that, even with 15 million views. The price is anywhere $1,200 to $6,000 per million views, based on view length. A short video like that probably was on the lower side in pay, but the time investment probably was immense. The practice, the planning, the editing, the probably hours of parkour that was cut, just the travel and flights alone...
Compared to them just going up a weird tent thing that is padded with 20 minutes of them reacting, and I'm going to "bet" has some sort of ad/product placement.
