Mexico: Spicy Hot

ez — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:12:31 +0000

We’re currently in Mexico having an amazing time with our friends from the Urban Runners and Monos Urbanos teams. During our visit we’ve been to large street jams, a selection of profession indoor classes and have been on a night stealth run where we hit a selection of amazing spots! Truly up there in the ‘Parkour Heaven’ category. We’ve managed to bag in-depth interviews and lots of awesome imagery that will be making its way into Issue 2 of Jump Magazine. Until then however, here’s a new video featuring some of the guys we’ve been hanging with while here. Edited by: Joel Fridman Rojas, it’s a collection of clips shot over the last year.

This video is one that we just have to share. It features a race between Chinese and Austrian athletes over an obstacle course and is done at blistering pace. Most interestingly, the athletes are instinctively using moves that we’re all so familiar with in Parkour/Freerunning. Check it out by clicking here

Ahead of our team trip to the Middle East on the 17th of Feb, we’ll now be squeezing in a visit to Mexico to hook up with members of the Urban Runners and Monos Urbanos collectives. The Mexican community is one that has been growing steadily over the past few years and is currently brimming with positive activity. Whilst there, we’ll be there doing an in-depth Jump Magazine feature and plan to bring all the heat from the street. Watch this space….

Glyphmedia Spotlight: Monos Urbanos

ez — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 09:10:17 +0000

We’re currently being swamped with quality video submissions to be uploaded to our Glyphmedia youtube channel and there are far too many for us to keep spotlighting here on the frontpage. However, this little gem from our friends at Monos Urbanos in Mexico deserves a mention. It’s a reel showing a collection of work from their professional portfolio which is looking very healthy indeed. Coincidentally, in February we’ll be heading over to Mexico City for a photoshoot and a hookup with Monos Urbanos and the Urban Runners is definitely on the cards. More info about that to come.
