MTV brings the world’s fastest growing extreme sport to American audiences for the first time with the Ultimate Parkour Challenge. The essence of Parkour is a sport with virtually no limits. Athletes run as efficiently as possible from point “A” to point “B” but unlike a track and field race, Parkour is performed on any and every environment. Walls, cars, stairs, railings, rooftops and ten-foot gaps between five-story buildings, force runners to leap, roll, climb, vault and fly, using the obstacles in their way to increase speed.
MTV’s Ultimate Parkour Challenge captures the essence of the Parkour movement with a new special event sports competition that will thrill audiences as eight of the World’s best Parkour athletes defy gravity, showcasing seemingly superhuman skills in an easy to understand competitive format. Three rounds of competition will ultimately crown one winner with $10,000 and title of the Ultimate Parkour Champion. The show is produced in association with the WFPF, World Freerunning & Parkour Federation.
Executive Producers: Bob Kusbit & Francis Lyons, One Louder Productions. Executive Producers: Kemp Curley, Transition Productions. Co-Executive Producers: Victor Bevine & David Thompson.
