Before we get to the list, there are definitely videos missing from it, we will be doing our best to keep this up to date as we remember videos or as people suggest some that we forgot. So, this is a list of every must watch parkour video in order of release, some of these might not hold up to todays standards in terms of movement or filmmaking, but I would still class them as an important piece of parkour culture. We might be using 'must watch' a little bit loosely but honestly if you haven't seen a video on this list you're missing out.
1997/1998 - David Belle - Speed Air man - https://youtu.be/kWJHSyjVMY8 - I have heard both 1997 and 1998 for when this video was released but haven't been able to find confirmation of exactly when.
