Daniel Marcus Ilabaca (born January 23, 1988[1]) from Moreton, England, is considered by many to be one of the world's leading free runners.

[edit] Philosophy
Daniel likes to share his philosophies on life and movement with others. To him all ways of being free and expressing yourself are parkour.[3] That's why he often says things such as football is parkour[4].
Daniel also insists in the power of choices in one's training. He admits that falling is the result of choosing to fall. [5]
