I guess they call it Parkour... At any rate I ran across a group of young men during our family vacation in LA. They were doing all sorts of flips and twirls, and were very happy to let me photograph them in action.

Here are some aerial acrobatics of two Goshawks. The top one looks like it is doing a star jump whereas the bottom one is doing a swift turn with wings tucked in. This was actually a tussle between two young females over a breeding territory. Although Goshawks aren't especially rare now with a British population of 620 pairs, they can be frustratingly elusive so getting close photos isn't especially easy. This was taken in the Peak District this spring.
There was a wonderfully chilled out vibe on Brighton beach when I took this back on August Bank Holiday weekend. I stopped for a bit at Hove Lawns to watch these people do some Sports Acrobatics (at least that's what this was called in the US having watched some years ago on Santa Monica seafront).

From Wikipedia : "Brighton has a 5.4-mile (8.7 km) expanse of shingle beach, part of the unbroken 8-mile (13 km) section within the city limits. Neighbouring Hove is known for its hundreds of painted timber beach huts, but brick-walled chalets are also available on Brighton seafront, especially towards Rottingdean and Saltdean. Especially east of the Palace Pier, a flat sandy foreshore is exposed at low tide. The Palace Pier section of the beach has been awarded blue flag status. Part of the beach adjoining Madeira Drive, to the east of the city centre, has been redeveloped into a sports complex and opened to the public in March 2007, with courts for pursuits such as beach volleyball and ultimate Frisbee among others.
The city council owns all the beaches, which are divided into named sections by groynes—the first of which were completed in 1724. Eastwards from the Hove boundary, the names are Boundary, Norfolk, Bedford, Metropole, Grand (referring to the four hotels with those names), Centre, King's, Old Ship, Volk's, Albion, Palace Pier, Aquarium, Athina (where the MS Athina B ran aground), Paston, Banjo, Duke's, Cliff, Crescent and Black Rock. Cliff Beach is a nudist beach.[ Beyond Black Rock, the cliffs (part of the Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest) rise to more than 100 feet (30 m) and there are three small beaches at Ovingdean Gap, Rottingdean Gap and Saltdean Gap. All are connected by the Undercliff Walk, which has been affected by several cliff falls since 2000."

Esta imagen es de mi perro Elvis, durante un paseo por la playa de Empuries en la Costa Brava, Cataluña. El es fanático de los saltos jugando a atrapar lo que sea, bolas de nieve, piedras y como en este caso gotas de agua.
This image is of my dog Elvis during a walk along the beach Empuries in Costa Brava, Catalonia. The jumps are a fan of playing catch anything, snowballs, stones and as in this case water drops.
