Now that’s the kind of promotion ETQW would’ve deserved as well. Very nice.

Yeah but it would have been harder to get some stroggs killing everyone in the streets without being arrested :smiley:

Just went to the London part of the jam. Dan is like, the nicest person I’ve met (perhaps tied with Terry Cavanagh of VVVVVV fame, who is also super nice, despite making a baby puncher of a game).

He was instantly telling me his stories and his vision for the tour video. I won’t spoil any of it for you.

And his skills are off the charts. Him, and a few others at that jam, they were flipping all over like it was nothing.

The place was where they film quite a lot of The Bill whenever they need run down estates… and co-incidentally, also did a parkour episode (Chase Lee as the main runner):

It’s the second half of that sequence. All those council houses are completely empty. And it’s a parkour heaven.

Great to meet local free runners and members of the film crew. I felt sort of sad that I hadn’t kept up my parkour… I’m thinking strongly about joining the vauxhall weekly jam, but I’m a bit nervous to. I really am out of shape! But I did try a few reverse vaults and a couple of monkey vaults, so my muscle memory, at least, is still intact.

This is cool, don’t think I’ll make it to the Amsterdam event though :frowning:
