Before Blue stepped aside as UF's backflip trick ferret for Bam, he was the one person always asked by the media to flip off some shit. Working with the media has always been a labour of love as most of them don't really care about being spot on factually. For instance, we would rock up to a shoot and perform all manner of 'pure' techs that would go down well. But the instant anyone cranked out a backflip, that would be what got them excited and 10 times out of 10, would be the picture that made it into the publication. Proved to be a real headache for us but now that there's a split between Parkour and Freerun, the ironic thing is that it makes the media circus all the easier to navigate through.
