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.
