Daredevil Andy Torbet takes on the bounding brilliance of the grasshopper as he is challenged to match its ability to leap ten times its body length. He finds out that the secret to their gravity-defying leap lies in the elastic muscles in their knees being able to store potential energy. Armed with this knowledge, Andy heads off to try out parkour with PKGen coach and athlete Alex Pownall to see what skills are required to match the mighty grasshopper.

A BBC Production for CBBC.
