An amusement park with a difference

While an amusement park is usually reserved for families, Germany's Tripsdrill theme park offers Jason Paul and co the ideal setting for a first-class parkour session.
The three freerunning friends are clearly in their element as they take on challenges that have never been seen before. From artistic climbing across the wooden roller coaster to overcoming big gaps at extreme heights and executing risky jumps, it's clear that Jason Paul's Wild Ride lives up to its name for every second of this video.
Freerunning is mostly a solo endeavour but Jason Paul believes that this project brings an element teamwork into the mix as well.
"At the end of the day you make the jump yourself and of course parkour isn't a team sport," says Paul, who’s been producing a whole host of freerunning feats like this one for his own Red Bull TV series. "But for us it's still a lot of fun to work together as a crew because everyone brings their individual skills!"

What makes Jason Paul's Wild Ride extra special – in addition to the dizzying freerunning action, of course – is the constantly changing filming perspectives between First Person View (FPV) and Point of View (POV) – so a big thanks goes to Munich-based videographer Paul Kuhn, who was in charge of flying camera-toting drones for this project.
