I was given the pleasure of visiting Daniel Ilabaca on set for a Sure commercial he performed in last year. It was quite an interesting experience, as they had build a big silver ‘Ninja Warrior’ style obstacle course in Black Island Studios, London. The advert consisted of Daniel running up ramps, striding platforms in water, […]
Thus far, this blog has mostly focused on films and photography, but I’d like to document a little more of the kind of life a Practitioner of Parkour might have. There is a certain ‘can-do’ attitude that develops through Parkour training and a sort of wily charm that goes with it. In turn, I documented […]
Live on was and to this day still is, probably my overall favorite video I’ve ever made. Just something about the blend of movement, music and good memories truly resonates with me. Considering, the actual content of the video, its surprising its done so well. Nothing in the video is especially big, most of it […]

For years it has been a location that Traceurs have traveled far and wide to visit, and is covered extensively in Duncan Germain’s feature length documentary, ‘Pilgrimage’.

This exercise was great for me photographically because the vast majority of my photography focuses on a high-contrast, high-exposure format in which the […]
This post contains the second half of the ‘Most Important Youtube Parkour Videos’ rundown. Remember these are what I personally believe are the most influential videos, and of course each practitioner will have things that they will find more important than others. These are the videos that have shaped the way Parkour is trained and […]
Over the years, many Parkour videos come and go. Since the YouTube scene was just getting started, people have been filming Parkour and releasing videos. The progression in the quality of the filmmaking is remarkable. Over the last 5 years the changes in the way Parkour is filmed and recieved have been massive. In respect […]
After the few hours sleep I managed to scrape, I set down to the event venue for final checks! The athletes had one final training session on the course, then a brief show-rundown and rehearsal where each athlete was able to plan out their run a little better took place. The atmosphere in the National […]
