Well my favorite Freerunner is by far Neil Hutson. His video was the first real showreel I ever saw, I added him as a friend on facebook and he put up with a lot of questions via chat,lol.

Other tops on my list would be...
 - Andrew "Syn" Obenreder for his individual flow
 - Sascha "Cionn" Hauser because he's just a pure, staight-up beast
 - Pip "Piptrix" Andersen for his amazing acrobatics and power
 - Vinnie Coryell most dedicated person I've seen, he's acomplished so much in so little time too.

That's my top 5

Thank you Cody. That's quite flattering. It means a lot to me when I'm able to inspire someone else.

But back on topic...

Workshop taught by Andrew "Syn" Obenreder, Aaron Burns, Michael Hartwig, and Cody Beltramo of Team Sanjuu.

Hey guys! This is Syn from PKFR International and the APK Alliance. Not sure what you guys had planned for GPK, but I had a few people contact me asking about if there was going to be a community website made. If you have plans on starting GPK as an online community of sorts and plan to pay for web hosting and a domain, let me know, as I'd be more than willing to help you guys with the graphic design and web design side of things free of charge.

You can contact me at syn@pkfrinternational.com

Anyways, love the idea and good job on what you guys got going on so far!
Hope to hear from you soon!

I'll say this...
Parkour and Free Running, even as separate disciplines (which came from the some source) are both non-competitive, as stated by their founders and original practitioners. If they are going to become competitive, I would RATHER see something other than the next "Barclaycard World Championship" and something OTHER than your usual sports competition format. Maybe something where anyone who participates could be victorious, such as Ninja Warrior, or something of the sort. I really liked the obstacle course set-up out at APEX during the CO National Jam. Since there is no "BEST" I hate the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place set up and would like to see nothing else of the sort happen in the parkour community.

I should be there.

Hah. My birthday is the 21st. But, I'll be making this regardless.
