Discovery - Extreme Body

On the 24th of April, Asid, ez, Kie, Pip and Sticky were involved in an ambitious project for the Discovery channel with the working title being 'Extreme body'. In the piece including Freerun, a group run was filmed in segments at Royal Oak (Meanwhile 2) and for one particular shot, special attention was given to a landing from height to show how the knee deals with the impact. This will eventually be done via computer animation which will zoom into the knee itself and show all the muscles, tendons and bones in action. The day proved to be another good one (standard procedure) and although we weren't really allowed to film the action pieces, we got some random behind the scenes shit especially for the Glyph ting.....










Asid at the world famous skate spot - Meanwhile Gardens. This place has been here since the 1970's and has played as a backup area for us whenever we've been rained out of Southbank. However, word on the street says that it is about to be demolished by the local council. If this is true, it'll be a real shame.











Sticky shows everyone that he is in fact, addicted to crack.











The camera crew set up in a corner spot to capture all the action.





Pip thought that by being a sponsored athlete, he'd be saved from Hasan's fists of fury. No, no, no! Slaps are given out at every opportunity. Next up is Sticky who's head has now officially been confirmed as the 2nd biggest in Parkour. Last but not least, we see Asid getting some brotherly love.











Pip tries to unleash his Inner monkey.











Being his first full on paid job for jumping railings n ting, Pip succumbs to the pressure of FSIGS and flakes out from exhaustion. Noob!











Sticky decides to get serious for a moment and looks at the playback on the monitors.













This girl was actually one of the production team who they dressed up as a tramp for the tunnel sequence. Erm......nice try but the first thing every one of the team said was 'Bride of Chucky'. Shutdown!








The guys wait about like lemons as the camera crew set up their next shot.








Kie, Asid and Sticky rocking glyph apparel. Kie with his long hair, has been constantly chided for looking like a girl and the never ending abuse seems to have paid off. He's at last promised to cut it off in favour of a Billy Ray Cyrus mullet.











More free time between takes and it was only a matter of time before someone dropped one. Kie here on the right points a finger but forgets the golden rule of farting.....The one who smelt it, dealt it.
