Free Running: 25th September
Tammi, the only female Free Runner I know was in town yesterday. In fact individuals from three Free Running groups were practising yesterday. While Tammi was taking a break eating, she mentioned something called the ‘Fuck it button’. Interested by this I asked what she meant.
“It’s the button you press where you say fuck it and just go do it”. It, being the trick she wanted to perform, but hadn’t developed the confidence for outside the gym even though she would be landing on the grass which is relatively soft.

Free Running: 14th August
In an alleyway on the side of Idolz was the venue yesterday for Freerunning (gallery link). It’s a new location for practising on until Urban Precision are moved on by those who deem them a nuisance. Within minutes, the Police arrived in a Panda car, they politely asked what Urban Precision were doing. Their questions were more out of curiosity as opposed to somebody having called them out, to confront whoever was climbing the side of their building. After conversing, the Police didn’t move Urban Precision on and they continued their climbing and jumping.
