I found Levi through Sports Unlimited while I was down in Southern California in October. He is a freerunner who has been seen on the Japanese game show Ninja Warrior, in which he was the last man standing out of 100 contestants. You can check out his reel at Freerunning Show reel. Freerunning/Parkour involves running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, acrobatics, etc. You can find more information about it at American Parkour.
Added 11/7/09: If you are a freerunner located in Oregon and are interested in a free photo shoot get in touch with me.

Ya, he definitely challenged me and made me step out of my comfortable shooting zone.
