Jason Paul

Jason Paul is one of the world's most recognized freerunners and a three-time Red Bull Art of Motion champion, the highest honor in competitive parkour. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, he discovered parkour at 14 as a self-described video game nerd and built himself into a global icon through discipline, creativity, and an extraordinary ability to blend narrative storytelling with athletic movement. His Red Bull-produced videos, including Freezerunning (parkour across an ice castle) and Going Back in Time, have collectively accumulated hundreds of millions of views, making him arguably the most-watched parkour athlete on YouTube. Sponsored by Red Bull and GoPro, he represents the pinnacle of freerunning's mainstream moment. With over 800K Instagram followers and millions of YouTube subscribers, he is the sport's most powerful ambassador. In 2026, with parkour heading toward Olympic status, Jason Paul is at the center of the sport's push for global legitimacy, releasing ambitious stunt-film productions that continue to push creative and athletic boundaries.
