| Overview: | Death-defying, eyeball-popping, stomach-churning jumps as the free runners literally leap from rooftop to rooftop across Britain.
Last year a team of French Free Runners captivated Londoners when they scaled some of the city's most famous landmarks for Channel 4's "Jump London". This time they've decided to take on the whole country.
Free Running, or Le Parkour, involves literally leaping from roof to roof in a death-defying, yet beautiful, series of jumps, slides, and somersaults. It is a discipline combining an extraordinary athleticism and lack of fear--created by Sebastien Foucan and his friends--that has spread across the world.
For "Jump Britain", Foucan is joined by members of the burgeoning UK Parkour scene as they tackle some of the UK's most iconic sites, including the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland, the Giant's Causeway and Derry's Walls in Northern Ireland, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and the ICC in Birmingham.
