Jump Britain gym scene – director Mike Christie
I directed this – the sequel to Jump London – for my company Carbon and Channel 4 in Autumn 2004. The two docs are meant to be very different both in style and feel and perhaps this is illustrated by this scene best: an extract from the gym scene! Due to insurance, getting this event to happen was a nightmare, but thanks to amazing organisation from EZ at urbanfreeflow.com and Kiell, and insurance solving efforts from Clem the producer, the event was perfect and the scene catches everything I hoped for. Check out the Jump Britain DVD, it is so packed full of ace extras – buy it for your Grandma!

I’m not saying all are like that, just a lot. Here in the States, some of the parkour guys I meet are too hippy like and the freerunners focus too much on flips. To me, parkour and freerunning are both the art of displacement. Parkour just refers to when you use the art in the most logical way during an emergency situation while freerunning is the part of the art used for fun. You can’t do one without the other.

British and American free runners and traceurs ain’t shit compared to the French. Even though I’m from California. I ain’t got no problem saying that. David Belle, Yamakasi, Sebastien Foucan just got more heart. These spend too much time in the gym and focus too much on the acrobatic parts.

Well iTunes is free to download from Apple.
There used to be a demo of Relay on Tom’s website though I think he was updating the site recently…

It’s called ‘Relay’ and it’s by Thomas Beach and Ian Masterson. It’s available on the DVD, or via iTunes (search for Jump Britain OST).
