Street stunts

Street stunts is an extreme type activity practiced by the free runners, some tricksters and stuntmen. Street stunts are often described as an urban gymnastics. In street stunts, most techniques are individual and not a part of a "Parkour Run" as in free running. Street Stunts are also sometimes called Urban Tricking or Freestyle Acrobatics. In Russia Street Stunts are widely known as Акрострит (Acro-Street).

Street stunts include handstands, large drops, flips off height, flips over gaps, spins, and it can sometimes utilize parkour techniques and have moves that flow into one another, but it usually does not. "Stuntmen" utilize large, stationary obstacles such as balconies, rails, walls, and other urban architecture. The goal of the Street Stunts is to show human possibilities to control their own bodies performing different stunts in dangerous environments without any protection.

Street Stunts have been popurarized by the videos of group of Free Runners Team Evo 1 whose forum is widely used in order to swap videos or samplers, Team Chinese Box and a French Stuntman Cyril Raffaelli
