I once saw a video on YouTube about a style of walking or running that involves taking the most direct route in a fluid movement. In the video, people scaled walls, jumped over fences, across buildings, over cars, in a very fluid, non-chalant manner. What is this called? I believe it starts with Jou- and was originated by a guy in France not that long ago.

Answer
Ohh ohh I know this one... The sport is called Parkour, originally named Yamakasi. The referred wikipedia article has the full story. I saw a documentary on the original authors of the sport and the article lines up very closely with what was said in the documentary.

It was featured in the latest James Bond movie, the remake of Casino Royale where the "gun for hire bomb maker" is trying to out run James through the construction site.

Its amazing stuff. I would love to be able to run and jump like they do.

I am in sports all the time and on the weekends i go 3 hours to my dads house so I cant have a job and I need to find a way to help my parents out with my gas money!

Answer
Maybe doing something around the house that your parents would have to pay for someone else to do. My friend used to clean the bathrooms in their house for money because her mom usually hired a maid to do that. So, my friend took over the job and she got the money instead.
