Youtube Takeover

Just a quick post before i head off to uni today
letting you all know that today (may 2nd) is the day that Parkour takes over Youtube
our media loving friends Forrest and Dan over at Parkour Generations have struck a deal with the video sharing site, to get their pick of Parkour videos on the featured list for the whole day

” the YouTube homepage will feature NOTHING but parkour videos for the entire day and a little longer. We now know that as well as YouTube.com at least another 18 countries’ YouTube homepages will be running the Takeover Day, including the UK and France, making this easily the largest online exposure for the discipline in history. The aim is to showcase the true discipline, the training, the community, rather than the spectacle. “

one video they didn’t manage to put on there was the now world famous JUMP LINCOLN

every video is great, and this is my pick of the bunch

its some great PR for them and Parkour, check it out @ YOUTUBE

Joes Photography - Part 2

so, I have been looking through the blog’s stats (trying to put off the essay thats due in for tomorrow) and I noticed that a few of the photo’s that Joe took of us training recently have attracted some attention from the inter-web
I want to say thanks to the people who linked us, and to return the favour (thanks to Scott Bird from straight to the bar)

I know we have a few more budding photographers in Lincs Parkour so I will do my best to give everyone their dues in time, but for now here are more of joes

Energise 2: April 19th 08

Well guys, What a Night eh?

Despite a few setbacks, Lincs Parkour still managed to rock it in front of the Energise Live Audience.

Serious props to everyone who took part as most will agree that it was probably one of the most stressful Jam days in LPK history.

My day started off filming some footage of Stu for a Tech project i was doing, which involved Stu running round looking like some outcast from Marvel Comics. And also involved Me wimping out to do a tiny jump about 50 foot up on top of Minds Eye roof top, which cut my filming short haha.

Then me and Stu head up to find everyone else at the green Rails where we trained for a bit then headed off to Dales. Where we crowned Stu the god of Crash Team Racing, and Lol’ed at a “Red Pills” Old video hehe. Then Me, Tumo, Stu, and Pembrey all took a Taxi to North Kesteven to teach.

We arrived pretty early and had the chance to plan our session whilst the poweriser guys still hung about in the Gym. (A damn sight cooler than badminton i have to say :P) and luckily they had already got most of the equipment out. Which made our job 10x easier, and we proceeded to teach the under 13’s session.

We tried to talk to them about what Parkour really was, Some of the Philosophy involved, and some of the Key facts. And it was nice to see that some of the kids did have a slight idea of what Parkour entails, although it will take them a lot of teaching before they truly know what Parkour is, but for a group of under 13’s its a good start.
