This is kinda crazy, I had no idea Attack of the Show was featuring my blog until a new friend on Facebook tipped me off! Without any notice or help though they actually did a rather fantastic job - meaning they got my name right, not so much about parkour :

Not all that bad! They hit on the newish http://www.parkour-online.com/, Blane’s excellent blog, and a bunch of the stuff I’ve been doing including the RED video shoots with NuRD Productions and the classes we’ve started to teach through the nonprofit Pacific Northwest Parkour Association with the whole thing illustrated through pictures pulled from my Flickr and video from my Youtube! (enough linkage for ya?)

So if you came here through AOTS, welcome to the blog and I hope you enjoy it or it helps in your training It needs some cleaning and re-purposing but I still dig it.

Train hard,
-”One of the best known traceurs in the world” hahaha…

They cut out a few cool things, but the quality is amazing! Behind the scenes post is -here-

Before the first video has even been completely finished and released, a new one we just shot in Seattle is coming out this Friday the 8th. Graciously sponsored by Stoel Rives law firm, this one focuses on a race in a full business suit across Seattle shot in full 4K (about 8 times the size of 720 HD) by the RED ONE camera.

Updated with new footy!

Blog’s been quiet recently as I’ve been having a little mini-vacation with my folks in Vancouver, WA. I came down originally for a video shoot with some cool guys but I ended up staying down for Mother’s Day as well (love ya Mom!).

The shoot went really well though and I’m very excited to see the finished project. Why? We shot on the RED One digital camera system 110fps at 2K resolution, that’s about 4x slow motion in higher than full HD resolution.

Update: The song is “Death of a lonely superhero” by Clover. Here’s a link:
