Hey, looks great. If you’re shooting more in Portland again I am a High School student interested in film and parkour, so I would love to help you guys out with anything you need for free. Just send me an email at eli.just@gmail.com

Well the edit of this footage is still being worked on. There is one release of it that’s probably coming soon though. New stuff comes randomly as they don’t own the camera and need funding to rent it.

Ok ok, then we just don’t know you well, Tyson :_)…
I don’t know, you actually make it look very natural, I mean the movement. Even if there were some adjustments for the camera, for making a good movie, your videos are still the most “parkourish”… and not only for me…

By the way, it’s been a long time since I asked ’bout the Red Shoot final edit. You said it would be done soon… However, no update. Not like I’m angry but I loved Red Shoot. Now the winter has come and for example I am facing certain difficulties to train and even more to record videos, so I do understand you may not be able to shoot something good these days. But when warmer time comes, will you continue with Red Shoot Project?

Thanks for answering,
Mike.

Definitely not a reliable job, very random when stuff comes in. Pay depends entirely on the job and can be crap or very good. It’s incredibly hard to break into the stunt world without any connections starting out, I never really did it myself and am just sticking to parkour stuff. Also don’t want to move to Hollywood.

When you’re doing a video that’s not documentary style you pretty much turn into a stunt player. There tend to be adjustments for the camera that change it from being something you would normally do while training and into parkour style stunts.
Oh and I do have general stuntman training Used to want to be one.

Man, PK is not Stunts, traceurs are not stuntmen, they are more like ninjas… We don’t learn how to fall on soft boxes and make it look good, we learn how to move…
And Tyson is not stuntman…

Cheers, Mike.

Hi my name is joe im a martail artist. Ive thought about going to stunt school but never intell now have i been able to talk to a stunt man. Do you think that stunt man is a reliable job?Has it been easy for you? What about money? Do you get paid well?Would you advise others to follow in this path? Just some concerns. I hope you can answer them. Well thanks,joe

that was PRETTY SWEET, the only thing that bothered me was how you constantly looked like you were kissing the ground, i know its how your supposed to land and all, but in slow motion it was agonizingly long.

Oh man, I go to PSU, and I totally would have enjoyed running into you there. Granted I probably would have just hung back fairly far and watched, but still.

I was pretty surprised when I found the video of you on YouTube, basically flying past my school’s bookstore.

Great video, by the way. I can’t wait to see the full thing.
