We love the GUP (Galazian Urban Project) here in the VOTW shed and 'Phosky' embodies everything they have become famous for - epic flow, huuuuge kongs, ridiculous reversevaultsideflipthingys and gigantic trousers too. Just watch the vid and go 'whhhuuuuuttt?'

The Video of the Week is..

Swim or Sink. Parkour. uploaded by GalizianUrbanProject from Vigo, Spain.

This is another video showcasing fluid, basic and explosive movements with some creative use of the environment too. This is a great example of how the parkour scene is evolving in terms of ability and style of movement.

The video of the week is:

Training.for.stoun.(L). uploaded by limitparkour25 from Spain

This video is a short one but has long takes and is all shot in one spot. The movement in this video is basic but dynamic and fluid.

The latest issue of the extreme sports mag Spiked Magazine contains a 6-page spread on the work of Parkour Generations, featuring interviews with Thomas and Alli and some cracking good shots. Well worth picking up a copy from the website or in a good retailer now ;)

Dan and Stephane have just returned from Alicante, Spain where they ran a workshop and conference as part of the line-up for the annual Urban Festival there. The festival was a great success with the likes of Hip-Hop legends Crazy Legs and Guru also on the line-up to perform and teach, and the parkour workshop went down very well with the local and visiting traceurs alike. Great spirit, good training, and a great place to practice too!

On Monday, April 6th, Dan and Stephane will be in Alicante, Spain, holding a seminar day for the "Jornadas de cultura Hip-Hop" event. Now in its fifth year, the event has hosted shows, talks and workshops with personalities like Henry Chalfant, Ken Swift, DJ Q-Bert, DJ Marley Marl, Spinkings and the very best MCs and groups of the Spanish scene (Nach, Tote King, La Excepción, etc). The event explores the more cultural side of the Hip-Hop movement, and with parkour ever growing in popularity among young people in Spain for the first time it will be officially introduced to the programme.

The Spanish education authorities are following the example of the UK and are planning to bring parkour instruction into their school curriculum. September 8th-11th sees us running a special course in Cadiz, Spain for sports teachers so that they can begin to get a grasp of how they can integrate the very basic elements of the discipline into their sports programmes.

A small gallery of images from our performance show as part of the Spanish arts festival, 'Actual', has just gone up, with more images to follow in due course. Click here to have a look.

The live event we put on in Spain yesterday for the ACTUAL arts festival was a great success and the team thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The opening sequence on and around a large traditional hotel building drew a large crowd and the day progressed from there, with a public showing of 'Jump Westminster' and an interactive display in the evening involving 15 Spanish traceurs who had travelled from far and wide to be there for the day.
