Brilliant. A job well done Mr Christie

To create a program such as this, that grabs and holds the attention of the general public and the parkour community, was a feat indeed. Mike Christie and the Jump Britain team have done an excellent job of showing the world more about the art of Parkour and deserve a massive thank you from the entire Parkour community.

It would have been very easy to portray this as 'just another extreme sport' which to some it is, but to the majority of people in the world that practise the art it is so much more. JB captured this when they brought in the British freerunners from Urban Freeflow and allowed them and Sebastien to talk about what Parkour is to them, it showed the effect that Parkour had had on their lives and I feel showed some of the magic that is unlocked inside when people discover it for the first time. It's not just adults playing at being children. It's not about big jumps and crazy stunts, there is so much more to it.

I, for one, look forward to the next instalment in the Jump series. Thank you to Mike Christie and the rest of the Jump Britain team. You have created something truly special and I hope that you will be able to follow the Parkour through what is looking to be a very big and year.
