Erin Stretch Fingers

Erin goes into vampire mode and flicks a shocker for the first time. Whilst we applaud her effort, we have to point out that the positioning of the fingers would be best suited to a heifer like Julie's mum.

How's About That Then?

At the Swatch studio shoot, Blue donned this dodgy white wig to serve up his best Jimmy Saville impression (minus bouncing a kid on his knee while blowing in his ear).

East End Fatties

During the Honda Dreamscape event we had time out to go swimming in the Thames. Most of the guys decided that bridge jumping was necessary to cool off and they were joined by all the local cockney kids who'd obviously been eating way too many pork pies.

UF Sausage Jockey

No words needed really. Sticky admits to loving sausage and he's not bothered which hole they go in.

New Superhero

Introducing a new Superhero from Finland in the form of Spider Head. Here we see Spidey during the Honda Dreamscape event. The sun was just too much for everyone and the costumes they had to wear, were unbearable. So the shaving of heads became essential. Nobody told Spidey that he looked like a twat though.....we simply let him dig that hole for himself.

Buckwire

Too many handstands have had a detrimental effect on Livewire, who's teeth have grown x 5. All is not lost though as he's just landed a role in the Alice and Wonderland panto in Brighton. He can be seen performing handstands dressed as the March Hare.

Tits Out For The Lads

In Prague doing the shoot for Swatch, Neil showed the guys his feminine side by flashing his tits.
Nobody made a move on him from our team but Timmy the lighting guy, had his wicked way and said that Neil with a wig on definitely passed the test. Poor Neil wasn't able to vault properly for 2 days.

Asimo

The Honda Dreamscape show saw us working with Asimo, the walking and talking humanoid. He had a bit of an attitude problem and kept calling us a bunch of c**ts but after taking him out and getting him drunk, he was ok in the end.

Falling From The Sky

Whilst doing the Honda Dreamscape shows we were blessed with some blazing sunshine. Wasting no time at all were the guys who used a nearby bridge to dive off of into the Thames. Here we see Livewire falling from the sky.

Gay Trek

In Prague for the Swatch commerical shoot. There were so many pranks played on each day and here we see the guys hamming up for the camera in Village people stylee. The stylists provided the most whack clothing for everyone to wear and at best, they looked like extras from the gay version of Star Trek.

Thames Festival

One of the best team experiences to date. In Sept of 08 we were provided with a beast of an obstacle right in front of the London Eye on Jubilee Gardens. Was an absolutely amazing experience and one that none of us will forget in a hurry.

World's Lines Fuck Up

At the World Freerun Championships Kerbie had the task of being MC on stage throughout. Here we see him being pranked by the team with his page being printed in extra small text. It read as "If you have trouble reading this, you are gay".

Newcastle Shocked Into Action

During the last leg of the Sony Ericsson 'Off The Wall' tour, we got to hook up with the safest bunch of guys from NEPK. This pic shows us at the end after having taught them the ways of the shocker. Gotta love manipulative teachings....

Beef Curtains

As part of the Visit London shoot, Asid, Cali, Kerbie and Sticky had to dress up and blitz London in costume. Asid pulled the shortest straw and had to get kitted out as a Tower of London Beefeater. He proved to be very popular with the tourists who were puzzled to see him flipping and spinning all over the place. He was so convincing that he got a bollocking from a real Beefeater. Noob!




Sticky wasn't too far behind in the clown stakes but managed to redeem himself with a well timed shocker.

City Shocker

It still makes us laugh out loud how we've managed to single handedly convince so many people to (unwittingly) adopt the shocker as THE hand sign of Parkour. What started out as a joke has turned into a beast of its own and seen film stars, politicians and a variety of journalists into flicking it to the camera thinking they are 'street' and in touch with youth culture.
Here Ez and Sticky drill a couple more at the Bruce Lee documentary shoot.

Moving With Ruthless Precision

Gotta love rocking fly apparel and then being the centre of some photoshop shizzle. Here we see Cali, sneaking about in London Metropol....

Introducing Cali

After we got rid of the whingers from our team a couple of years back, we promised ourselves to never allow another Frenchman into the team. Then steps up Cali who restored our faith and made us change our minds. Not just naturally gifted as an athlete, but he's got the full package and what is not usually common with our Gaelic step brothers, he has a wicked sense of humour.
Shame about the earrings. Gay.

Pimped

At the end of the Swatch shoot we had a chance to kick back and pimp it up. Back row - Copdom, Pip, Livewire, Bam. Front row - Neil, Ez and Sticky.

PK Day - OG

Only announced 7 days prior, we expected about 10 people to turn up to our first outdoor jam in 4 years. PK Day - OG turned out to be a mammoth one with so many highlights. 100+ people all united by Parkour/Freerun and there to simply train and have fun. Classic old skool vibes.....

ez plays santa and dishes out the freebies. Within seconds 50 x backpacks and over a thousand stickers were snapped up by the hungry pack.










Kerbie and Bam garmed up and representing. Kerbie can be seen sporting a circa 2006 exclusive Seidojin tee (only 7 were ever made) while Bam sports an adidas number.






ez repping a murdered out glyph.










Stoney (complete with black eye after getting a beating from some local priests) and Molotov look on unimpressed with their fellow team members. What used to be a serious team has decended into one of pure filth and a jackass mentality.





But when in doubt, a human glyph usually does the trick to get things back on track.







Neil tries to figure out other uses for the FRPK wristbands.








While Sticky opts for a more vulgar approach but gets merked by the tiny red dot.







New kid on the block (Majora) was told to earn his stripes as part of his initiation and what better way to do it, than shove your fist in your mouth? 100 cool points awarded on the spot.

Sponsored Shocker

Usually when someone gets taken into the sponsored team, the running of events goes like this.....Get invited on board, receive contract and a cheque for £10,000, get sent some glyph merchandise and then receive extensive training in the art of flicking a shocker. With Frazer, he decided to take it upon himself to start flicking shockers before receiving his proper training. As a result, he screwed it up by trying to teach his girlfriend (in the white) a watered down version which has lost him some brownie points with the rest of the team.

Soap Dodger No More

Having got rid of our French soap dodgers a while back, Neil stepped up to fill the void of smelliest team member. However, due to a mishap with a bottle of washing up liquid and a fountain, he was 'cleansed' and no longer smells like a bag of shite.











Ahhhh, look at them having fun.











A landmark day for Neil who not only washed his entire body, but got to wear his dads y-fronts for the first time ever. Gotta love family bonding.

Bumboclaat!!

Having spent a long time locked away editing our Black Ops video offering, Bam decided that he had to get away from the doom and gloom to recharge his batteries. So where did he go? The fucker got on the phone to Maxi Priest, headed off to Jamaica and basically chilled out big style for 10 days. Pictured here taking a 'taxi'.

Caught In The Act

Inspired by Banksy, Sticky decided to try his hand at a bit of stencil graff at night down at Southbank. Rule number one when getting into some existencilism - DON'T GET CAUGHT! Here we see Sticky being papped while in the act. Total shutdown!!


Tools of the trade.

Another Hair Scare

With Kie constantly being tagged as the only girl in UF because of his flowing locks, he took the step to eliminate his gayness completely, by getting Pip's mum to do the honours and give him a going over with the clippers. Whilst we applaud the fact that he stepped up for the chop and now looks a little bit more like a man, the number 6 graded finish has a striking resemblance to a famous 1970's comic called Dick Emery, which is NOT so cool.

Separated At Birth

UF sponsored athlete, DjuXa, from Latvia has just been rumbled as a bit of a headbanger before his PK days. Is he a hairy metal head or a troll? You decide.

Microsoft Performance

At Microsoft's head office, we were engaged to deliver a series of dynamic performances as part of their 'Heroes' campaign. Because it was staged indoors, a purpose built set of obstacles were shipped in for us to use consisting of scaffolding, vault boxes and a cat leap wall. This allowed the guys (Asid, Blue, Livewire, Neil, Pip and Sticky) to let loose in front of the 300 strong crowd and really crank things up a notch. As a result, the whole event was an outstanding success and outside of representing in our usual pro manner, we had plenty of time for some fun stuff.










Asid collars poor Pip and preaches about the benefits of converting to scientology. Pip listened for 5 mins before dribbling from the corner of his mouth and falling asleep.










These guys were blacked up to represent the heroes silhouettes, but they obviously didn't think about the possibility of upsetting anyone and being branded racists. We tried to get Blue to act offended and refuse to perform until the 'situation' was addressed, but he couldn't keep a straight face from laughing so much. So we opted to just get a group shocker pic. For anyone who can't tell, Blue is on the far right.











One of the obvious things when the guys were jamming, were all the females coming out to check out all the fuss. This saw plenty of requests for photo's and for the guys to perform topless (which of course they did). Making the most of a photo opportunity, we corrupted these ladies into striking shockers by telling them it was the universal freerunning hand sign. Gotta love the art of persuasion.

LG Shoot

In January we were commissioned to shoot an ad for electronics giants, LG. For the release of their new Plasma tv (which is all picture and has no borders) we were briefed to 'take it to the edge'. Starring in the ad were Blue and Kerbie, who stepped up to run riot around the rooftops of Soho.
In this pic Sticky surveys the bigger of the jumps. Below lies a box rig made up of 200 cardboard boxes, crash mats and a tarpaulin cover. This 'should' ensure a soft landing but on the first jump, Kerbie (pictured in pink to the left of the mats) landed awkwardly and sprained his ankle badly. As a result, he had to be carted off to hospital and we had to call in Molotov who was sleeping at the time. Being the true star he is, he got a cab over, did the jump twice and then fucked off back home to sleep.











Here we see Blue on the left and Molotov on the right as they fly through the air.

In The Trenches

Our third visit to the Royal Marine Commando's training grounds (CTCRM) in Lympstone, Devon, saw the U$F TV film unit roll in to capture the final segments for our new Black Ops video. During our 2 day visit we filmed a night stealth run featuring Livewire, Kie, Neil and Jashman from the Glyph Unit and Sean, Ratty and Si from the Marines as they moved in around Exeter city centre. The second day saw Ez, Neil and Sticky attack the Commando's 6 mile endurance run, which was a killer, but you'll see for yourselves when Black Ops is released. Outside of the filming (as per usual when the guys get together) pranks and games were in full effect. None of us can wait for the next project to unroll as the Commando's are both inspirational and funny as f**k to be around.












Bam with his weapon of choice for the stealth run













Neil before shouting "Say hello to my lil friend" and then running off screaming into the woods













Sticky taking no prisoners and collecting STC scalps by the dozen. BOOM HEAD SHOT!!













Sean foolishly allows himself to be on the receiving end of one of Sticky's games. In this case, blood was drawn from a whipping and full credit needs to be given to Sean for taking it without so much as a groan. When it came to Sticky's turn, he whinged like a bitch and ended up getting away very lightly. Jashman wasn't so lucky and now has his very own red stripe to prove it.

Sticky Outsized At Last

This picture of Sticky with Jashman has been unearthed from their school days and is valid proof that we've at last, found someone with a bigger head than Sticky's widescreen one. In recent years Jash's body has balanced out and grown in proportion with his skull but as this early pic shows, he was once king of the shiny forehead brigade. For that alone, he now gets the title of 'Biggest head in Parkour'.

Leave It To Beaver

During our time at the Royal Marine Commando's training grounds in Lympstone, Devon, Sticky got dumped off the rope regain with Neil and showed an uncanny likeness to a certain beaver from Canada. Separated at birth? You decide....

On The Blag

In Prague after another highly successful shoot, ez tries to style it out by chomping on a cigar. Being a non smoker, as soon as someone offered to light it up, he could be found trying to offload it quick time.

Lemon Twist

In Prague, Czech Republic, after a shoot with DHL in freezing cold conditions. Here at the wrap party, we see the normally teetotal Blue, after being coerced into a Redbull and Vodka drinking comp with ez. Midway through the night, some bastard got a round of tequila shots in and here we see Blue after taking a hit of cinamon, downing the shot and then killing it off with a twist of lemon.













Finding it hard to shake off the zing, Blue freaks out. Wrrrrrrrrrrecked!!











In no time at all Blue passed out and in his sleeping state, became the subject of a few pranks. Here we see him being stitched up to look like he's been doing lines. Notice the drunken attention to detail with frazzles being meticulously placed all over his head. *NB......No narcotics were used in this pic. The 'evidence' was captured with use of pitta bread crumbs. However, Blue was mortified when we told him the next morning that he'd been doing class A's all night.
