This year should be special.

Just a quick reminded to everyone in Sydney and its surrounding areas that there is a big meetup happening this Saturday the 12th of June. We plan to meet at Pyrmont Point park around 11am and work our way around the city training. It wil be a great chance for everyone from Sydney to get together and train, socialise and have a great day. We encourage everyone to come, all skill levels are welcomed, should be a fun day.
I hope to see you all there,
sincerely, Shaun.

Thanks to martian, here are a couple of videos from last month's New Zealand National Jam.
Video highlights from the NZ national jam last month. We had a few Aussie's this year, wouldn't mind seeing a few next year either.
I know I've got plans to attend next year. Any excuse to visit will do, and I think this is it. =D

 Late last year Nitro from Channel 9's 'The Shak' decided he wanted to learn some Parkour. After a bit of an outdoor demo, he joined us in class for his first lesson.
The result? See for yourself!
Thursday 18th February @ 4pm - 'The Shak' on Channel 9.

Thanks to The Youth Network IQ Inc, Tony (Ngyagi) and Adam (Puppetteer) will be flown up to Townsville in early July.
There will be a series of parkour workshops and events run - if you are into parkour at all and in the area, definately make your way in for these ones.
Details here. |

Good news, everyone! And a little bad news as well.
Despite the voting showing the first weekend the 2:1 favourite for Australian traceurs, due to astonishingly bad timing it seems that most every seasoned player in brisbane will be unavailable for this weekend. In order to show our friends across Australia the very best time we can, we'd like to make the second weekend the one. We realize that this may not be ideal for some people, however the alternative is probably worse.
Please, mark your calendars for Friday 9th to Sunday 11th October, 2009. We'll have all the details needed to arrange travel and accomodation very soon.

Ali Kadhim from Team 9Lives will be heading over to Indonesia tomorrow for 5 weeks to work on a Spider-Man stunt show titled "The Goblin Strikes" to be performed at a major theme park. Also chosen from a handful of Australian Traceurs were Blake and Chris from UFM Stunts. Go web Go! |

Massive congratulations go out to Scotty "Mr Double ABCD" Skelton from Brisbane. Last Monday, he landed a world tricking first and pushed the boundaries of the human body yet again, by landing a Triple Corkscrew.

The forums have been upgrade to a new type, thanks to NFG and his hours of effort and expertise.
Not only will they be cleaner and allow sub-categories, NFG has enabled embedded YouTube videos.
Nice work! |

Recently a new Tasmanian website has been created for all types of movement. This includes parkour, freerunning, tricking, Hebertism, Movement Naturalle and others.
The idea is for separate disciplines with overlapping goals be able to share knowledge and progress through collaboration
I bring you Free Motion Tasmania:
www.freemotiontas.com
You'll be seeing quite a few people from the southern state at this years nat jam! |
