Most people can only dream of jumping across rooftops and performing backflips over eye-popping drops, but for Ed Scott that is just day-to-day life.
That’s because Scott is a freerunner, so rather than commute into the office, the 24-year-old Brit spends his days scouting out the best locations to perform daring stunts. His current location is Astypalea – a Greek island which is hosting Red Bull’s long-standing competition Art of Motion.
Astypalea is a paradise for holiday-goers, with its bright blue skies and seas and characteristic white buildings set on rocky hillsides, but resembles a giant playground for the world’s best freerunners. The island’s topography, tight-knit houses and flat roofs combine to create a perfect scene for stunts.
