In total, a collective of 23 athletes from 18 different countries went head to head to compete at the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships on Weds the 3rd of Sept. The event started off with Mexican participant, Jorge 'Sarge' Romero failing to make an ambitious underbar to precision jump 20ft up, by under-shooting it and crashing heavily, forcing him out of the competition. Luckily, outside of a trip to the hospital and a bruised ego, he was fine but the eye watering footage will no doubt become an instant bails classic on youtube. Overall the skill level and general feeling of unity amongst all the competitors, was a sight to behold. The event ended up being an outstanding success and has been winning rave reviews from media sources worldwide. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our title sponsors, Barclaycard, who's unwavering support has enabled us to put on an event like this with such high production values. We'd also like to thank our associate sponsors, Adidas and Sony Ericsson.

Enterprise Week: Make Your Mark We're currently involved with 'Enterprise Week' to be staged on the 17th-23rd November 2008, which is a national celebration of enterprise with thousands of events and activities happening across the UK. Last year there were over 5,000 events and more than half a million people took part. This year over 2,000 organisations will be setting up to run events and activities during the week to encourage people to have ideas and make them happen. This can be by starting up a new business or social enterprise. Click here for the video project we were involved in with film director, Eelyn Lee. Featuring UF athletes, Kie, Neil and Pip.

Sponsored Athlete: New Addition Introducing Jake Harris to the sponsored athlete line-up. Jake's stamping grounds are Grimsby, UK, where he trains with UF team members, Neil, Dale and Kristian. His representation at our jams and regular training with the other team members, made adding him to the sponsored team a no brainer decision. Click here to see him in action.  Sanchez: Gran Dia Our Sanchez jam was almost scuppered by a heavy downpour of rain but regardless, a swarm of undeterred practitioners laid siege to the Imax walls and all the surrounding hotspots, proving that rain doesn't necessarily stop play. As is usual at our PKdays, a healthy amount of fsigs were dished out in the form of backpacks, glyph water bottles, urban tool holsters, stealth proto's and plenty of stickers. The sun then came out and the action kicked off with everyone just going with the flow. NBC were there to cover the day and captured a whole load of gems along with interviews. Many thanks to all those who turned up to make it another great day, especially to all those who travelled from afar. Many people asked when the next one will be. How about a massive Xmas one? Let's get the World Championships and the Mayor's Thames Festival out of the way first and then we'll start planning.... World's Interview: Billy 'Skipper' Hughes A late addition to the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships line-up is Billy 'Skipper' Hughes, who will be flying over to provide additional weight to the US cause. We managed to catch up with him mid-preparation and have a brief interview here  Sanchez: Sunday 24th August Just a reminder about the up and coming Sanchez PKday at London's Southbank. We'll be meeting up at Imax for 11am and as per usual, the onus is 100% on fun and jamming with like minded people. We'll be filming and editing a piece from the day and as an added twist, we'll also be joined by NBC from the US, who will be shadowing us and possibly wanting to interview individuals from the community. In addition, we'll be bringing a bunch of freebies to dish out for those early enough to be first in line. We've also got a pair of extremely limited edition black stealth adidas protos's to award to one person. So to stand a chance of winning them, the challenge is straight forward....Simply come dressed in theme (as per the image on the right). Whoever tries their best to totally overdo it (el bandito style), will bag them. If all goes to plan, we'll have some Urban Tool holsters to hand out too. See you all there....  The Independent On Friday the 21st we'll be taking part in a photo shoot and interview session with the UK's Independent newspaper. It'll happen shortly after we've conducted a masterclass at the Roundhouse in Camden, London. More news to follow....  Off The Wall: Interview Piece During the Covent Garden leg of Sony Ericsson's 'Off The Wall' tour, we were rained out, but not before interviews were captured by Associated Press with UF athletes, Pip and Kerbie.

Click here  Mayor's Thames Festival: Obstacle Preview As reported a while back, we are playing a key role at the Mayor's Thames Festival on the 13th and 14th of September. Barclaycard, the principal sponsors of the event and our partners for the first ever World Freerun Championships, have worked with us to produce a bespoke structure that'll proudly sit on the grass at Jubilee Gardens (right in front of the London eye). The Southbank and surrounding areas have (over the last five years) become an iconic hotspot for practitioners of Freerun/Parkour and is the very place that gave birth to the UK scene. For us, this amazing opportunity is the icing on the cake and pays testament to all the hard work we've put into the development of the sport/art/discipline. Click here for a preview of the obstacles.  Swatch: Extended Edit Here's a link to an extended version of the Swatch ad we shot in the Czech Republic.

The piece will air on Thursday the 21st of August. As soon as we receive a video link, we'll post it here first.

Before that happens, we'll also be launching a line of Glyph tee's with a slimmer streetwear cut.

Off The Wall: Mission Complete We've just put the finishing touches to the Sony Ericsson 'Off The Wall' tour and were blessed to have Newcastle as the setting for the finale. With the venue of the Metro Centre being completely under cover, any potential weather issues were put to rest and this left it for us to go out with a real bang. Joining us on the day were members of NEPK, who turned up en masse to showcase their skills which were matched by extraordinary levels of enthusiasm and energy. Overall the tour has been a highly successful one and we'd like to thank Sony Ericsson, Brando, Iris and Project 1 for making it all come together so seamlessly.

Electronic Arts: Mirror's Edge Many people within our community will already know about the up and coming Electronic Arts video game project; Mirror's Edge. The first person perspective game is gearing up to be dropped in November and is looking red hot! Its all set in a conformist dystopia in which communication is heavily monitored by a totalitarian regime. As a result, a network of freerunners, including the main character, Faith, are used to transmit messages while evading government surveillance.

With camera crews set in place, the sound system blaring and crowds gathering, we kicked off in flying fashion with a game of PIG. Then as is typical in the UK, the heavens opened up and everyone rushed for cover while it poured with rain. The rain was relentless, so unfortunately we had to call an end to the day much earlier than anticipated, but not before we were interviewed by NBC and the Press Agency. Next stop Newcastle on Saturday the 16th of August. There's talk of Covent Garden being revisited at a later date. More news to follow.... NBC With Urban Freeflow currently involved in another wave of media interest, US network, NBC, will be sending a film crew to the Sony Ericsson 'Off The Wall' tour at Covent Garden on the 9th of August.

Also in attendance will be a crew from ITV and photographers from London Lite, National News and the Daily Mirror. UF's Bam has also been commissioned to shoot the days action for Sony Ericsson having already directed and edited all the exclusive footage embedded on the W760 handsets. Should prove to be a very productive and action packed day.  Metropolitan Police: Fitter kids In October/November/December we'll be engaged to continue our work with the Met Police, when we get involved in the 'Fitter kids' scheme in Brent, UK. With kids spending less time doing physical activity and consuming the right diet these days. 1 in 3 children in the UK today are already overweight or obese. More than 70% of obese children and more than 85% of obese adolescents will become obese adults. The Fitter Kids scheme is in place to encourage our children to get fitter and stay that way so that they live longer, feel better and more confident about themselves, as well as perform better in school.

School's In For Summer The newslite.tv website is currently running a story about how Parkour/Freerun is making an impact in schools across the UK. Click here  Return Of The Prodigal Son A while back Chima decided to step down from our sponsored team line-up to deal with issues brought on by a niggling injury that he just couldn't shake. In the time that has lapsed, he's gone back to basics and built himself up with specific conditioning in complete isolation. He's now back to full fitness, stronger than before and ready to step back up to the plate. We'd like to take this opportunity to welcome him back into the UF family.

Cali: Moving Through The Ranks Having repped out of his skin most recently, Cali has just moved out of the UF sponsored team lineup and secured himself a spot on core team. This new addition was a no brainer decision to make, as his skills and personality alone, speak volumes.  Kiss FM Kiss FM are currently running ads detailing our partnership with Sony Ericsson and shining spotlight in the direction of the up and coming 'Off The Wall' tour. On Saturday the 9th of August, we'll be hosting the third leg of the tour and will be rolling out demo's at Covent Garden's Piazza from 12pm to 6pm.

Sony Ericsson Brum: Off The Hook! The second leg of Sony Ericsson's 'Off The Wall' tour has just ended and turned out to be an unprecedented success. Hosted at the Bullring in Birmingham city centre, the Freerun Zone attracted massive crowds throughout and hit a peak when we went head to head in a battle with local team; Street Dynamix. The battle proved to be a big hit and was all done in high spirits. So much so, that Kerbie (The MC for the entire tour) escaped the wrath of the rest of the UF team when he announced the winners to be Street Dynamix. In turn, the locals went completely nuts and everyone went away happy. Next stop Covent Garden, London on the 9th of August.

The one member of our team who's come out smelling of roses is Blue, who's managed to manoeuvre himself into pole position by fronting the Swatch print campaign (currently doing the rounds in all the UK newspapers). As an added bonus, he's just been awarded his own signature 'Off The Wall' tee-shirt designed and produced by Sony Ericsson. It shows him mid-kong and for those with a sharp eye, his busted pinky finger (which sticks out at a right angle) has been included. Pictured here on the right is Cali sporting the signature tee.
