Tribe Rocks BET's UpFront

Thursday, 19 April 2007

Each year Black Entertainment Television, one of the most successful networks, puts on a show / party called UpFront for their advertising executives. This year, the opening entertainment came in the form of a video of Sebastien Foucan freerunning, followed by a live demo by Tribe members SkyNative, Demon, and Skipper. The guys all came to the Primal Fitness gym in DC last Friday where we built a replica of the set for them to rehearse on. 50MPH winds and driving rain meant disassembling the whole thing and rebuilding it inside where ceiling height was a bit of an issue for the 11' plus tall rig, but the guys pulled it off regardless. In NY, it was decided a the last minute to spice things up by adding a few extra performers. Moses pulled out all the stops and flew from Chicago on less than 12 hours' notice! eXo from NY also joined the group. Watch the video (please right-click and save). Pictures wil be added soon. Nice work guys!

[Thanks for putting it on youtube]

Didn't recognize Demon without his ball cap. I guess I haven't watched his videos enough

The first time I was only watching the guys on the near side, and missed a lot of the action underneath, and on the far side. Very cool.

Thanks guys!!
It was a really fun performance to do, and it was amazing that we pulled it off at the last minute like we did. for reference, the first 2 people are demon and moses (demon comes in on the right, moses on the left, the second 2 people are me and skynative (i land right in front of the camera, and skynative is on the far side), and the last set of people are exo and moses and demon (exo lands closest to the camera, moses on the far side, and demon does the wall spin)

W00t!

Looked like a lot of fun guys. I had to watch it a few times to see everything that was going on. The pictures really helped illustrate teh process a little more.

And, I am not sure if I am ruining some sort of joke or not, but is there a reason that the link that is Exo's name goes to a picture of the Bansky maid piece?
