That crazy running stuff

Steven @ Sun, 2006-11-05 23:37

As some of you know, for the last ten months I've been practising parkour. I've now reached the stage where I'll be uploading media from some of my exploits. You can check out some of the clips already on YouTube. The following ones [1, 2, 3, 4] are a just couple of 5 second shorts of me (the first is my favourite). I plan to release a proper 2 minute video sometime over the next six months. For now be content with the magic of my friend Tox.

For much of this year, the Brisbane scene has been lucky enough to have along photographer NFG, our good friend, gaming guru and author [2]. A number of NFG's photos have now made it into the media, such as the local Family nightclub magazine, and Acclaim Magazine [3m PDF]. Below is a shot of me, snapped by NFG. The move is called a Flag, and you typically hold it anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds. Generally performed at heights (illustrated here by Kamikaze, another Brisbane traceur), this is a more artistic shot. When I finally get the gallery up and going you'll be able to find a whole lot more parkour photos from the Brisbane scene.

Very nice work. I like those vids, displays good technique there. It's great to see you pro'ing it up. :)

Cheers man. It has been slow progress at times due to injuries, but the positive Brisbane scene that you and others helped cultivate gave me the added determination to get back out there each time.
