Todd Richards hosts the Winter X-Games, his own Todcast series, and now Ultimate Parkour Challenge on Mtv. Whether you’re into Parkour or not, this will be worth watching just to get Todd’s take on the show. Here’s the official press release for more info…
Quiksilver team-rider and brand ambassador Todd Richards is hosting the new MTV show “Ultimate Parkour Challenge”. Tune in to MTV every Thursday evening, starting October 22 to catch the show’s premiere. Check your local listings for air times as the show begins at either 9pm or 10pm, with rebroadcasts following two hours afterward.
Parkour is the act of moving from point to point, using the path’s obstacles to increase efficiency in navigation. What we now call Parkour has its origins in a training program for French Special Forces known as “Parcours du combattant”. Today we see Parkour very frequently in television commercials and action movies.
MTV’s “Ultimate Parkour Challenge” captures the essence of the Parkour movement with a new special that will thrill audiences with athletes defying gravity and showcasing seemingly superhuman skills in an easy to understand format.
Eight of the World’s most renowned Parkour athletes will attempt to out run, out leap, and out do themselves as they confront three awesome challenges and compete for a 10,000 dollar prize.
