More than 4,000 people came out to Tampa's historic Centro Ybor district to check out a truly unique parkour experience at Red Bull Art of Motion. Parkour combines the physical disciplines of gymnastics, martial arts, as well a the pure instinct to overcome obstacles within one's path by adapting movements to their surroundings.
During the first round of the competition, each competitor had 90 seconds to freestyle across the course showing off on and utilizing several different obstacles and features. Based on their run, the top eight contestants (Vincent Coryell, Marvin Ross, Epic Mendoza, Cory Downing, Tim Burton, Jason Paul, Yohann Leroux, and Marcus Gustavsson) advanced to the finals.
However, it was Yohann Leroux of Paris, France who claimed the title as the first ever U.S. Red Bull Art of Motion champion.
