Master of Champions - July 6 2006
« on: June 30, 2006, 06:32:03 AM »
It was only a preview for next weeks show but it looked like they will have a parkour team on the show. From the previews it seems like the purists wont like it but we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

Oh no.... Cliff (Cak010 from pkcali and Pawa) was contacted for this show. He declined and explained that competition isn't a part of Parkour, etc... After not getting him though, it would seem that they moved on to a rent-a-traceur...

well it wasnt parkour but they did set up a sort of obstacle course for them to flip and dance around. The 2 competitors were Ivan the Urban Action Figure (bboy) and Joe Eigo (tricker) of Multi Level Moves.

I ended up not being able to watch it. Well Im glad they didnt try to pass it off as parkour then. Were they at least good?

I didn't see it either, but would like to.  Joe Eigo is awesome.
