I have always found these babies so inspiring! They have the agility and swingability I long for. Can't wait till all the scaffolding is set up in my Garden in London. :o)

Adapation.

This is a rad commercial which sees one of m favorite animals doing what it does best..
I thought it could inspire some of us.. ha.

In The Midnight Hour ..

"Sooooo yup yup In The Midnight Hour when we sleep, I had too much energy and thought I would have a little session on the olde hands. A lot of the better stuff was at the end of some clips on my camera, and when using a bobtech video converter it chopped them in half and only gave me the first half due to it being a trail version which kinda prangged me out, anyhoo ladies and genitals here's the stuff it let me have!"

Blood, Sweat, and Fears

Here is also a small something to keep you entertained while I best figure how to capture some footage and upload some pics. Aswell as one on one Parkour tuition, I also teach the Urban Freeflow Academy every friday with Asid. This video was cooked up by a regular practioner who is a filmmaker(Incomingchaos) and gives an insight into one of many different types of classes..

The bringer of good news..

Things have been totally off the hook lately and I have had zero minutes to update this , my bad.

I have trained with the Royal Marines, taught them, then they taught me, hit Barcelona for a Hewlett Packard Performance,flew to Vegas to deliver an award to Samuel L Jackson,hit a wedding,a small family break,a trip to Wales, and haveo nly just stopped. I am planning to upload photos and video from everything asap and get it all up.

Here is maybe one of my favourite videos I have been part of, if you are wondering, I am the Blonde dude now who starts the video.

Enjoy.

Be part of the SEEN.

Yo,

Camera and film giants, FujiFilm, are currently sponsoring me for a Parkour film project which will be taking place over the winter months. After much discussion, It will intially involve an 'eye of a freerunner' gallery being produced which will showcase well known places around the U.K and the views I have seen from training on them, i.e. The Angel of the North, HMS Belfast, Tyne Bridge, A trip to Liverpool etc.





To add to this FujiFilm have got together with www.facebook.com and created a hybrid site. This site will regulary be updated with videos, blogs and photos, of me and my training, plus, extra blogs from people such as Patrick Wolf (Amazing musician), Camille Bennett (up and coming fashion designer), Fifi Brown (best friend of peaches Geldof, part of trash pussies, and DJ's all over the globe).

BOOM...HEADSHOT!

I have just returned from teaching the first Parkour/Freerun workshop to the Army. Soldiers from the 4th Battalion of the REME.
I was totally stoked to be able to have the opportunity to train with the guys and pass on some knowledge, and the overall vibe was so dope. Everyone was giving everything a go and commiting 100%, it was great to see them take certain aspects of it like ducks to water. I just want to say a special thanks to Captain Fulford for making all the necessary arrangements and for giving the Academy a go the week before. ( For some secret practice ).

Gym sesh.

Just some footage taken from my mob and chopped together quickly from the other night with the team. I have taken half of them to the streets, just need to get the other half to the same place.
Maybe a longer full on sampler on it's way ? If I have time amongst UF, training all the time, Uni and all the rest of lifes little events.

EYE OF THE TIGER.

I am currently working with Fujifilm who are creating a 'Micro-site' to help promote the new Z10 camera. The micro site will be a group on facebook.com which if you wanted, you could join and read updates from a handful of so called 'creative' people who are up to stuff these days. I have been asked to be a sport 'ambassador' for the new Z10 camera and take it around with me when I am out training and post a blog along with photos of what I have been up to on the site. This recently developed with the interest from Men's Health Magazine. We then together, came up with the idea of creating a small gallery 'Through the eyes of a traceur/Freerunner 'which will be published in one of the issues. It would involve me going around iconic landmarks around the U.k and snapping away while I'm training or where I was climbing around. So ideally, the viewer would see what It would be like to be free, as all of us are who do the discipline.
First off was Newcastle a couple weeks ago, I cannot say I know the person who is pictured climbing the Angel of the North. haha.
But I can say that I had permits to builder up the Tyne Bridge which was alot of fun despite all the bird poop and headless birds up there. ( Pigeons, not geordie lass's just randomly chilling up on the bridge).

Here are just a handful of what we got .

BISCUIT.

After a hard day sessioning the streets with Blue it was time for some Dunkage.

SHOUT FOR HELP.

All I have to say is bwahahahaha! I found this on my old hard drive before formatting it. It was during the time we worked for Vauxhall for there Vauxhall tribes promotion. This badboy was in the teen magazine called 'Shout'.

The Messenger.

So I did a shoot a looooooooong time back from a stock photographer wearing smart threads and thought nothing of it, anhyoo, someone kindly told me they had seen me and Bam on the MSN France homepage.. bizarre. Laugh it up.

BackToBack

After finishing an American deodrant Commercial in Prague this summmer, me and Bam were told two days before leaving home for Prague that we wold be flown to Portland, Oregon State for 3 days to take care of the print campaign, I was so stoked! Back to back trippage. The whole Prague trip was amazing which led to the team really stepping up and rep'ing. There is a still below of a Roof gap which I executed for the advert in Prague, along with a few images taken in our down time in Portland, one is outside the Adidas store in POrtland where we were todl we would get up to 50% off, needless to say, the whole production crew dived straight in... Transmission dates are looking to be towards the end of this year.

"A big thank you goes out to Goodfilms Inc and special thanks to Dawson, Jeff Stonehouse, Patrick Fischer and biggest tip of the hat saved for Andrew Walton, for being one of a rare breed of directors who fully understands what we do and how to capture it..".

MY NAME IS KEVIN.

BaBOOM,

Two weeks ago Bam, Blue, Livewire and myself were shadowed by Kevin Zacher on a day out training in London, ( Elephant & Castle and waterloo area). The minute we hooked up with Kevin there was a great chemistry which gave the whole day a buzz.
The shoot had such a good vibe with everyone busting out of the skins, I'd go as far as saying it wasn't a shoot at all, we merely just went about training as we would any other day. Here's a few stills 'Bam Sandwich' managed to grab ..

Motorola RAZR 2

Me , myself, I , Livewire and Kerbie recently did a 3 day tour visiting Bristol, Birmingham and my home town ( Nottingham) to film a viral advert for the new Motorola RAZR 2, and to increase awareness of the new product. We were also dressed up as Manga characters.. Here's a few photos the production company kindly gave us from the busy 3 days.

Academy In full effect.

Yagga ladies and genitils!

It's been a while since I have updated the blog.. which I guess is a good thing as I have been completely on it with training like a spartan , and on it with everything else in my life. Things are both busy and enjoyable at the minute.
The Parkour/Freerun Academy (taught by myself and Asid) is going very well with good turn out's and good levels of progression every week. We were lucy enough to have a visit from Blue and his SLR the other night to capture some behind the scenes agony..

EMERGENCY!!!

Mannnnnnnnnnn, I do not know where to begin! I haven't got long to write much as I am in Rome and heading to the south (Tuscany), so bare with the shorthand style write-up.

As you know I have been swimming like a beast lately, 150 lengths a session, and training for a triathalon on top of all of that and my normal training..well, in the last two days I managed to swim miles to a pier in the worst conditions ever with my cousin in a canoe.. the weather took a turn for the worst and in the cosing 25 meters of the swim I was unable to swim away from he pier (which was standing on large concrete/metal pillars). The waves got up to around 13ft and I had the choice to either be smacked into a pillar by a large wave, or swim to one and hold on to it between the large waves... so I waited for a momment then swam straight to it. The waves were crashing full force against the pillar as I held like a Koala Bear shouting and screaming for help, another wave would come and I feared it would smack my head on the pillar or tear me off It and slam me into another one. I remember as I was trying to fight the tide a large crowd in the coffee shop on he pier were pressed against the window... I was thinking to myself YO this is the sort of stuff that happens on 999 lifesavers..I could see it now ... 'Johnny had been out in Frinton swimming for the second time in two dayswhen a he got caught out by the tide....' etc ahaha.Each wave that came covered the whole pillar fiercly with water and submersed me under water. I was cold at the point from swimming 1.5 hours and hardly had any energy. I feared for my life and have never been so scared as the water was coming in so fast and there was a strong sea wind. my cousin said I was shouting 'we need a boat we need a boatttttt '!He also told me once my shock had worn off that I aslo shouted MUM in my time of need ahahaha Man that is not cool, I shouted for mum! Anyyay I thought I was going to die so it i kinda justified! I managed, somehow (I have no idea how) to let go after being on the pillar for a good minute, and swim away from the pier a couple of meters against the tide towards my cousins canoe.
To cut a long story short, I was swam to the pier twice in two days. The first time was ok, and the second time I swam from Frinton to Walton pier assisted with my cousin.
Ambulances, Air ambulance, crowds, hypothermia, severed torso with extreme cuts all on my arms and legs.

And this morning to top it off I managed to get an allergic reaction to medication I recieved from the hospital and had to be rushed to a hospital in rome and get treated for it. MAN. what a couple of days. I have photos of the all the damage from A&E with all those wierd tubes and tests going on so I'll pop them up when I have time.
Hope everyone is well and having a Jolly summer!!! ho ho ho-

Glad I am alive to see everyon I love again! Apologies again for typos and such a rushed story. x

Run..Forrest..Run...

YAAAGGA!

Looking forward to seeing Amir Khan fight tonight.. as I mentioned before, I had read some of his stuff, watched his dvd's and him training and have been really inspired by him.

I have been running alot lately every morning on top of regualr training. It started off at about 4 miles each morning, then at the end of last week I was doing 10 miles a morning, which I am keeping up, but a day ago I did half a marathon and feel good.. All in all training in every aspect is going very well. I feel like I will be able to run a Marathon very soon (if not now), in good time, and also complete a triathalon (my first) with all the training I'm doing. I hope everyones well and enjoying there summer with time off work/Uni/School etc ! Thing are busy in the Urban Freeflow camp with many Jobs planned abroad, and I'm also off to Rome for pretty much all of August. Here's a few photos I took with an original Canon AE-1 film camera i got hold off, no flash, no display or anything, during one of my last days of my first year at Uni.
