Over the years, many Parkour videos come and go. Since the YouTube scene was just getting started, people have been filming Parkour and releasing videos. The progression in the quality of the filmmaking is remarkable. Over the last 5 years the changes in the way Parkour is filmed and recieved have been massive. In respect […]
After the few hours sleep I managed to scrape, I set down to the event venue for final checks! The athletes had one final training session on the course, then a brief show-rundown and rehearsal where each athlete was able to plan out their run a little better took place. The atmosphere in the National […]
I awoke today to glorious sunshine. The weather in London was exquisite, and after breakfast I made my way over to the venue. The course of course, looks spectacular as you can see in the images below. This year, the lengend that is Nico Wcleck designed the course and its fantastic. Bars, gaps, multiple levels […]
So I arrived in London today to rain. It was soggy, grey and generally pretty standard for England. Nevertheless, I found my hotel with a little walking, set up and bumped straight into Jan Barcikowski in the foyer of the ‘Mad Hatter’ hotel no less.

Parkour tradition is to spend the whole day training in costume, with varying levels of extremity […]
Constant Motion was the culmination of a winters worth of footage, mostly collected in Moreton. Daniel Ilabaca and myself sought to produce a film which featured Parkour-type movements, but which also explored other realms of expression. Skateboarding, Blading etc were all things we decided to film, but as we continued to film, we found that […]
Welcome to the new blog! Its taken far too long, far too much trouble and far too much learning, but we’re here. This will serve as the (hopefully permanent) homepage for anything that happens in respect to Ampisound for the indefinite future. I’ve been secretly posting content here as I’ve been working on the site […]
Austin Phillips has lived two doors down from my house since before I can remember. We’ve probably known each other more than ten years, and in that time we briefly tried skateboarding, bmxing, martial arts, the whole lot. I fondly remember playing Hide & Seek around my home areas with him and a lot of […]
