Why am I doing this? Because College wants me to do a blog, and I decided to do the FlowFlys a favour, too.
What will this blog contain? The latest information from the parkour world, news about the FlowFlys and all local parkour occurences, all with a healthy dose of Pugh humour (or lack thereof).
This will in no way replace the news posts on FlowFlys.co.uk. Rather, it will cover a wider scope than simply the FlowFlys, and be more opinionated.
So, what's been happening recently?
As all the FlowFlys know, we recently did some filming for ITV News. As of me typing this, it has not been aired yet, as it is not time critical. But as soon as it is aired, I'll whack it on youtube for your perusal.It seems that ever since Floyd started having meetings with those people (I don't know where they're from, it's all quite mysterious), we've been getting alot more media attention, what with our feature in the Loughborough Echo and now this. One has to wonder how far this will go. Will you be seeing the Flowflys in a new version of the 'Jump' documentaries? Highly doubtful. Will we ever be on BBC? Also doubtful. But perhaps all this media attention will do a good job of getting Parkour more well known, and put a stop to the many occasions where we are horribly misunderstood (why, one of the replies to the Echo article was calling us antisocial.). I addressed this in the ITV piece and in no uncertain terms, told these people to fuck off. Maybe they should look further than some kids engaging in a productive discipline to complain about.
Also, while I'm here, I may as well use this as an opportunity to promote tehrevolution.net. One of the best forums for traceurs. While we may not talk about parkour much, we're a genuinely friendly community, and it's a great place to talk about stuff to like-minded people. Also, yours sincerely is the administator, under the pseudonym of 'moot', because I'm cool like that.
Until the next post, goodbye.
