Assassins Creed!!!


Assassins creed is a fantastic new game coming out on the 360 and PS3 in 2007. Its coming from Ubisoft, the people behind the Prince of Persia series. The game focuses around an assassin who's mission it is to take out various historical figures. The most appealing part of this game for us is the
free roaming aspect, in which you can use "Parkour" to scale buildings, wall run, arm jump, tic tac, gap jump and precisions with amazing fluidity, that knocks any "freerunning" game out the water. We havent played it ourselves but from what we've seen it looks like an amazing must-have for all traceurs! Lol I swear we havnt been payed to endorse this game it just looks that damn good. Keep you updated! Check out these links:

The name's Foucan... Sebastien Foucan


Went along to our local cinema to see our man Sebastien's big screen debut in Casino Royale. And we didn't have to wait long to see a 30ft Seb head bearing down on us. We we're right near the front so he looked massive for a little guy! None of us realised quite how involved Seb's character, Mollaka, would be and we're so excited to see a full 10 mins of Bond vs Parkour. It had an interesting start with Seb cheering on a fight with a snake and a ferret or something, quicky realised he's been spotted by MI6 and wastes no time to hot tail it out of there into a conviently obstacle packed building site, bring on the pk! Arm jumps, tic tacs, some serious buildering and some mad gaps. One of the coolest pk scenes was when Seb jumps from one floor of a building, onto a moving lift then onto the next floor leaving Bond shaken. But there's no out witting 007, who although taken some serious drops and bashes, did his best to keep up with Seb's lightning speed. But when you're getting chased by a man with a licence to kill, its only a matter of time before you're numbers up, even when you're blatently biting moves from District 13 to get away. (You'll know it when you see it). All in all it's a fantastic achievement for Le Parkour in general, Bond movies attract massive audiences accross the globe and Parkour will be forever immortalised in the bond mythology. Den denen dern den, denden, den denen dern den denden deneeeeeeeeeern den dern der. lol

Saiyan rating:
Parkour: 10/10
General movie: too much poker and bleeding eyes

Osram Milan 2006 - Pics and Vids



The event was blast, completely booked out with 160 Traceurs from all over the world.

An old empty warehouse was completely converted into a Parkour paradise. This time the obstacles consisted of a scaffolding infrastructure dressed with hard wood, sturdy and safe for Traceurs at all skill levels to use. Osram provided an unlimited supply of lighting ideas, bringing a really dramatic atmosphere to the place. The graffiti artists added the final touch and the DJ injected some andrenaline pumping music ensuring a high spirited atmosphere. All obstacles were then checked by Parkour trainers to ensure for safety and we we’re ready to go.

The event was packed with a sweet show and non stop work shops. It all started with some warming up, mobilization of joints, stretches and Parkour oriented strength training to get the pulses raised and get everyone ready for a the day ahead. Throughout the day people where really pushing their levels, sharing ideas and inspiration and coming up with some really creative movements. The day finished up with a nice free session where everyone squeezed that last bit of energy out, if they had any left.

Thanks again the all the Participants and People that made this event happen.

Till next time.

Practise Waterloo 01/10/06


Next Sunday we'll be practising down at the infamous Waterloo. We'll be meeting in Jubilee Gardens at around 1pm. Dale will be down from Lincoln with a few traceurs he trains with. So Saiyan students you best be ready, everyone else, hope to see you there!

A mellow Saturday

Last Saturday I met up with Cable, Max and Mike in our local area and headed down to the park for a quiet spot to practise balance. We hid our bags in a tree and headed to a pond-side rail. It was a wooden beam about a foot and a half high, over 100m long with a path on one side and nettles, thorns, rough ground, pond water and various wildlife on the other. It’s a great rail to practise on because you can’t go more than 10 steps without the rails changing direction, height, becoming wobbly, slanting or having to go over, under or round overhanging shrubbery. At one point you have to leap into a tree climb round it then swing back to the rail. We made it challenging for max by always keeping on his heels and trying to distract him but this in turn meant we would often have to stop suddenly and hang back while he dealt with the off-puts. We got to the end and we’re happy to move on, but Cable kept bugging us to do it again in reverse. For once Mike was glad to be sitting out.

Once everyone had limbered up we convinced Cable to get off the rail by enticing him with an even more challenging one. This was a bloody über rail: Long, high, sloping, bent and slippery, a right bastard of a rail! Now I’ve been working on my balance a lot recently but this really was a challenge. Cable happily shot off along the rail while I couldn’t make it more than a few metres. Max just tackled the challenge of getting onto a rail just under chest height without anything to help balance. After about 30 minutes or so despite balancing a lot further, I had begun to dislike the rail that kept maliciously chucking me off. Cable of course balanced the whole thing, but nobody saw, so it don’t count hahaha.

So like big kids we headed to the playground. It’s amazing how much time passes when working on seemingly small obstacles. But it’s often the small things that allow you to really understand how your body works and where you need to build strength. It also allows you to work on the more complex and technical side of Parkour that I love. We ended up spending the rest of the day there. All in all a small but essential day of practise for everyone.


Anyway, that was last Saturday!

Student Down

A couple of weeks back Cable was out practising with Mike and Max. They we’re working on a follow the leader style run with Cable taking the lead through balancing, small precisions, wallruns and vaults. It was all going smoothly max and mike we’re keeping up happily when disaster struck. Mike was balancing on a thick but rounded rail, when his foot slipped catching his other leg and sending him face first towards the merciless concrete below. Landing chest/chin first with an almighty crashing sound set Cable and max running over to see a winded and blooded Mike looking dazed. After a few frantic minutes he caught his breath and composure and decided it might be a good time to go home insisting that Max and Cable stay and practise, but as you can imagine that put an end to the day. A couple of days later he called us and only then did we find out the severity of the fall. An X-ray revealed he had fractured his jaw and needed it wired and would be out for at least six weeks!! Despite that he hasn’t lost enthusiasm and still comes out, and often has to be reminded of his injury to keep him from training. This is a big reminder to anyone that all it takes is a moment of distraction to have serious consequences. Students please always keep this in mind, accidents happen! Keep you updated. Wishing you a quick recovery from the Saiyans!
