Man completes Badminton Horse Trials course – on foot

UK free runner, Mat Armitage took up a rather unusual challenge proposed to him by his girlfriend recently; to complete the Badminton Horse Trial course, on foot.

If you’ve seen the Horse Trials ov TV at all, it seems hard enough for the horses to complete, let alone a 22 year old man. This free runner does, however, possess some impressive parkour skills, allowing him to complete the course. Even though he completed it in an excruciatingly long 4 hours, this video shows off some of the fast-paced free running techniques he used to get round.

At Ansell’s To The Extreme Insurance, we cater for a number of extreme sports, including providing parkour/free running insurance.
