STORROR Podcast

We have an Aussie special this week with the belligerent Dom Tomato and Oliver Thorpe from Copenhagen. The two of them and Callum had just returned from Project Underground 10 in Rotherham UK and discuss all that went on at the event, and much more.

Ramon is a 40-year-old coach with ParkourONE in Switzerland who has been practising parkour since 2000. He and Callum chat about motivation, old school vs new school training methods and mindsets, Ramon’s documentary ‘Hommage au Parkour’, and whether or not the coaching organisation, ParkourONE is a cult!!  Instagram - @ramon_siegenthaler Hommage au Parkour - https://youtu.be/KtsYAqIHUDI If you’d rather watch the podcast and occasionally see some added clips and pics relevant to the conversation, you can access it by becoming a YouTube join member on Storror’s YouTube, along with other weekly members-only content - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdPui8EYr_sX6q1xNXCRPXg/join

Our fourth Cavemen Parkour Punditry episode. In this episode, Max, Benj, Toby and Callum chat about some reason news including Toby climbing with Alex Honnold and Callum in Dubai for Gov Games. They also cover a lot of parkour community news and topics, such as the SPL European qualifiers, the rise in descent bails, switch walking, Gang Wizzy in Asia, World Chase Tag at the Arnold’s sports festival, Josh Dohy’s The Movement series and ParkourDotCom’s announcement of a parkour awards of their own. And, of course, we discuss who’s on our radar for the Storror Awards 2023 so far this year.

Mathieu Jang is an OG from Hong Kong living and studying in Los Angeles. In the last year or so, he has exploded on social media and amassed a following of over 330k since doubling down on uploading the niche of barefoot parkour. That, coupled with the long hair and bare chest, made for a fairly unique urban Tarzan-esque spectacle that continues to go viral. Mathieu and Callum speak about the pros and cons of training barefoot and diving into some strength and conditioning talk.

(This podcast was recorded in May 2022, so apologies for anything said that is out of date) Nivin is a Swedish parkourist who specialises in social media and digital marketing and is the CEO of her new company CollabContent which deals with helping people with many things in the online space. On top of that, she has worked for TikTok, so she has a lot of valuable knowledge for anyone wishing to become an influencer through parkour or just to optimise their social media.

Giles has been involved in parkour since 2003 and, considering he has never been the most recognised for his abilities as a practitioner, he’s an individual who has left arguably one of the biggest marks on our culture and industry. His brand, The Motus Projects has been one of the few who have led the way, but in January, Giles decided it best to put Motus to bed due to struggles to see any viable way to keep the company going and support himself and his athletes under the brand. But, the good news is, Giles’s expertise and experience in our industry will be put to great use as he has been hired by us at Storror to help strengthen much of what goes on behind the scenes of the company.

Max and Benj talk you through Cavemen 5 with a running commentary, including breakdowns of lines, stories from filming and an insight into their process for making this series. (Commentary segment is definitely better with visuals on our YouTube Join page!) For the first half an hour, we speak about the 2022 Storror Awards in hindsight, addressing some oversights and criticisms we received.

It’s the same deal as last year. Before heading to the studio to film the awards video, all of us get together to hash out our decisions for all 18 categories after a year of watching the parkour community with a close eye. You already know who won, but here’s a little insight into our decisions and how chaotic the process is!

Lynn Jung is a trailblazer and a longstanding fixture in the parkour world. She was a member of Storm Freerun from 2015 up until they mysteriously fizzled out in 2020. She’s got more professional parkour work experience than most parkourists. With her unique experience and perspective, she has a load of knowledge to give and a load of dirt to dish.

Pete Whittaker is a professional climber. We recently collaborated on a video to see if he could out hang the whole Storror team, relaying one after another, hanging from a bridge over icy cold water. You probably saw already that he thrashed us! Holding on for a full 25 minutes! In this episode, we chat about Pete’s introduction to parkour and how he’s freakishly above the level you’d expect to see after three days of training. We talked about Toby’s adventures rock climbing with Pete in Norway as well as some of the similarities between parkour and climbing and how parkourists could benefit from introducing some bouldering to complement their parkour training.
