Australia, up until yesterday, was rainy and gray. On perfect cue, the weather cleared up for the performance at Sydney University and the guys smashed it! Tons of locals came out - Sydney has a great scene! There were also tons of press and media people there, it looked like a paparazzi gathering. After the demo we were able to hit up one of the cool spots in Sydney at Pyrmont Point which has a few awesome trees and a bunch of other training terrain. Thanks again to K-SWISS for bringing Levi Meeuwenberg, Frosti, Mark Toorock to Sydney. Huge thanks to Rhys James and Shaun Wood who served as local guides and hosts, were great in the demo, and are just super-dedicated to the Parkour scene here in Australia. Having the chance to hang out and jam with Daniel Ilabaca has been amazing as well! Read more for a few pics, more pictures and video to follow at some point…

Speaking of, HUGE thanks go to Daisy from K-SWISS Taiwan, Andy from K-SWISS Australia, the girls from Skuza, Gravy, Johnny and Anthony from Fuel TV, and Jed from K-SWISS - They have some awesome clothing here in Aus that we're hoping to get  some more of (hint hint).

Great work guys, can't wait for the video. Cool to see that much enthusiasm on the other side of the world. 
Any chance APK could host a world jam sometime? No idea where/when/who but just a thought..
