Gymnastics surely?
Difference is in a gym there are nice soft things to land on / bounce off. concrete is a little less forgiving.

I'm in awe of these guys. C4 showed a documentary called 'Jump London' a couple of years ago featuring Foucan and his mates, amazin stuff in the Capital including HMS Belfast and The Royal Albert Hall. There's a Youtube clip here but I'd recommend you see the full prog if you can (available on dvd).

As a young lad in the 70's, I used to do something vaguely similar, running along neighbours garden walls, but nowhere near as athletic and elegant as parkour
