Today’s Lucozade Energy’s ‘Danger Dan’ of the Day is one of the founding fathers of the extreme sport known as parkour, so here’s a little bit more about David Belle.

David Belle is better known as one of the eight founding fathers of parkour and a master at highflying aerobatics. The 40-year-old Frenchman has also made a name for himself as a movie star in his homeland, as he stared in the 2004 French action film, District 13.

Here’s a look at just one of the many jaw dropping parkour scenes from the film…

As well as being able to run up and down walls better than a glue-soaked Spider-Man, Belle is also trained in the Chinese martial art kung fu, so there’s certainly no messing with this Danger Dan…

It takes balls of steel to do what David Belle does on a regular basis and his unrivalled athleticism and determination to push the boundaries make him today’s Lucozade Energy’s ‘Danger Dan’ of the Day.
