Yo dudes and dudettes,

This thought crossed my mind, and yeah, I know it mind sound crazy corny, but there's this website where you can customize bumper stickers and the price isn't all that bad. I've done a few for my own car a while back. Maybe we could customize, order, and sell HIPK bumper stickers to raise money and awareness. Yeah, I know it's silly..why drive when you can run, right? Which brings me to one idea: "My other vehicle is my legs" or something like that..I dunno. I know it's a little cheesy.  Some cool ideas might be helpful. Here's a link to the site.

Thumbs up, thumbs down, maybes, ideas, and the like are most certainly welcome. I'm more than willing to put the ideas together and order the stickers. The cool thing is anyone can do this. Just a thought.

well i guess its a good idea but im not the person who should be taking part in the vote cause i cant even drive unless i learning lolz..

anyways i gave ozzi the email address of a guy i know who owns a small t-shirt factory so i was pretty happy that i could help out HIPK but i hope it turns out to be a big help

[Ozzi]

I like the idea, only thing is this needs to be discussed cuz we dont want people just putting this anywhere... leave no trace remember.

[Nos0323]

ooo come to think of it i agree because people might absent mindedly put them on walls of private or public property...or maybe even glass windows or watever

[Stacie]

Yeah, good call. I forgot that people put those things on objects other than their own vehicles. >.<

[Nos0323]

yeah you should see one of the buildings in my school haha its like an advertisement/logo/quotes building

Hawaii academy and crossfit are great, but are there plans for a (hawaii) parkour gym? Seems like the best way to keep it going and create income streams for those who put so much effort and energy into setting this up. Give hipk a permanent home.

There are plenty of simple business models to follow: Hawaii academy for one, revolution parlor in Portland OR, there is one in Calgary, one in Texas

There are not that many parkour gyms in the country but this could definitely work. I am sure labor could be donated for design and construction. Vaults are cheap and easy to build. A mat floor (not a sprung dance floor) would be the most expensive part. Commercial/industrial rent is cheap.

Is anyone working on this? Are there potential investers?

Apex in CO, Primal Fitness in DC & Miami...
But Ozzi's taking it to the streets for the next training camp.
Lot less overhead... training on real obstacles, in real conditions...

Agreed, pk belongs on the St. Wouldn't change outdoor bootcamps or jams, trail and architectural "playground" use or anything. There is no reason any of that would have to change if hipk had a headquarters.

Gyms make it accessible for beginners and youngsters and make parents feel secure.
