Eastbourne Extreme 2010

[Kurt Jobling]

Hey everybody! Eastbourne Extreme 2010 is confirmed and I'm in the process of organising our part in it, such as scaffolding set up and the like.

This year may be a little different as we have another group taking part called Danger of Death. That's aswell as InMotion like last year!

The dates are Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of July, not sure on times yet but I'll keep you posted. If it's anything like previous years, the scaffolding will be set up a couple of days before that so we can get down there and play around with it and sort out our display.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

[Blaze]

Awesome man :D cant wait to see the setup and all that to practise :) Well done and Ill be there too

[Flow]

I will definitely be there. I can't wait for this. It sounds awesome so I will definitely be there :D

[Nemesis]

I will be there :D
Just lets hope it isn't raining *crosses fingers* :D

[RELOAD]

soooo annoyed ill be away on holiday in France for these dates... I'll definitely do some training in France tho, might even bump into Sebastien Foucan or someone you never know...

hope the weather is good and you guys have fun (Y)

[Agility]

Ill be there! sounds good, and it will be my first time at Eastbourne Extreme :)

[flare]

ill be there for definate

[Velocity]

I might obnly be able to make the sunday one... i work saturdays and it's impossible to book another saturday off. :(

[Blaze]

That might actually be this case with me this year since I might be accepted for a weekend job, so theres a chance that I may not be able to make both days but I should let you know

[Hawk]

Could be the same for me come to think of it.

Extreme starts 1 month tomorrow btw :)

[Kurt Jobling]

Ok, well just make what you can guys!

[Agility]

Sorry i cant make both of the days so i can only come to one :)

[Blaze]

I believe that now I can make both days since I havent heard back from my interviewer, so Ill be there dudes :)

[Shinrai Shinzou]

ill be there both days (Y)

[Blaze]

Awesome, i can now confirm ill now be there both days aswell :) :D

[Jake Newman]

Good to hear IM are in it again this year thanks Kirt appreciated man will be good to kick ass with the Shadows for another year :), see ya at extreme guys

[Hawk]

We iz gonna kick ass - well i wont be as my knee isnt gonna be sorted in time :( Will be good though :D

I think results should be done on extreme sometime, maybe first day - i dunno.

[Agility]

I might be able to make both days depends how much money i will have nearer to the time:)

[Kurt Jobling]

Yeah!!! Awesome guys!

I have been working on some new design tweaks for this year so hopefully if we can get the extra scaffolding it should be great! I have had to make the decision on my own though, because I spoke to Everol (Eastbourne council) today and he has said that time is short and that I had to put forward some designs. I thought that we'd be meeting up with InMotion to discuss the plans but Everol didn't get back to us, so sorry to InMotion that we couldn't come up with something together but hopefully you'll like what I can sort out... If I can sort it out, but either way we have got the scaffolding that we had last year for sure, no cars I'm afraid though.

[Blaze]

Awesome man, Im fine with that for one, I probably couldnt have helped as much anyway, But hopefully it looks good :) Im personally fine about the cars aswell though, it sounds like itll be an amazing Extreme this year :)

[Hawk]

Sounds good, would be easier without cars :)

[Agility]

So as this is my first time coming to eastbourne extreme can someone tell what is gonna be there? except for scaffolding :)

[Blaze]

Well as far as I know man what weve got is scaffolding, and apparently we have some gym equipment like the air track or a few crash mats and stuff, but thats all I know

[Hawk]

Im assuming it will be like last years one (shown in the video), but better and bigger - and without the cars. And as Blazey said, with an airtrack and crashmats - which will take up quite a bit of room.

[Agility]

Okay sweet! cheers guys :)

[Shinrai Shinzou]

i had a chat with Matte from the gym...
i might be bringing the air track and blocks with me ;)

[Jake Newman]

Kurt man, IM are happy with what we get parkour's all about learning the enviroment your given :) im sure we can work with what we got ;)

[Kurt Jobling]

Nicely put man, thanks! Not sure if we're gonna be able to get the extra scaffolding I was hoping for but I'll have a word with the scaffolders on the day and see if we can add some bars and the like to it!

[Blaze]

Sounds cool to me Kurt, I personally dont mind if we do or dont get the extra scaffolding but at least we get scaffolding :) well done all the same for setting it up man

[Kurt Jobling]

Great news guys!!! We are getting the extra scaffolding! If all goes to plan it is gonna be great fun!

One little down side is that we cannot get hold of a PA system, so that means we can't play our own music and use a mic... I'm working on sorting something out but if anyone has any suggestions let me know!

[Blaze]

Thats awesome about the scaffolding man :D cant wait to see the setup for real :D

[RELOAD]

all this is making me so jealous for not being able to be there lol... hope all goes well, and you have an AWESOME day ><

[Blaze]

Just wanted to ask, have we heard anything about the times for the performances or the times we need to be there?

[Kurt Jobling]

I will find out times ASAP and let you know guys!

[Blaze]

Awesome, thanks man :D

[Kurt Jobling]

To all Accreds: do you have a white US t-shirt?

[Blaze]

I dont have a white US shirt but I can buy a plain white shirt if its required

[Kurt Jobling]

Yeah, I think it would be good if we all have matching colours so that people know who the members are. So if everyone could get a white top and black trousers that would be great!

[Blaze]

Okay, i should be able to get a white top and black trousers by then man

[Agility]

Does the clothing count for me aswell? :D

[Kurt Jobling]

Not sure weather we'll be having a youth display or not yet, I have to have a word with Matt Lehane. So if all youth could come in white tops and black bottoms and turn up to the training days and we shall let you know if you'll be doing a display.

So training days are Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th and Friday 16th. If you can make all of them great! But don't feel bad if you can't make them all, would be good to make at least one though so that you can play around with the new set up and put together a piece.

[Agility]

Ill be fine practising on the set up and not performing on the day, but can i still come to watch on the day?

[Agility]

Ohh just realised im gonna be at school for these dates, so could you post the times of the practises please? :D

[Blaze]

I should be able to make the first two or even all 3 days since I have nothing planned then, but I might not turn up on friday because if I did, Id be too tired for the first day of Extreme lol

[Hawk]

Cant make it at all on wednesday as im seeing a knee specialist and i have something else to do. Other days are alright though. This year is gonna rock !!!

One thing did come across my mind, that is possible youth members skiving school for the practice sessions on the weekdays. What would be done about that as skiving school isnt the best thing to do, whatever is going on.

[Kurt Jobling]

To all the younger members, I would not reccomend skipping school to practice in the week because it will make the group and Parkour in general look bad, stay in school! You will still have like 3 hours to train everyday after school because we don't have to lock up the scaffolding until 7pm!

Everyone is welcome to come and watch at the weekend and youth, once I have spoken to Shin you may even be performing!

Times for the weekend are:

Saturday 09.30am/10.00am - 7.00pm
Sunday 09.30am/10.00am - 5.00pm

I'll let you know what time we should turn up for the training days when I know.

[Hawk]

Sounds good :) No train works either over the weekend. Weather should be warm and sunny too :D

[Blaze]

Awesome, thanks for letting us know man :D i should be there both days on that weekend

[Agility]

Okayy cool i will probably be able to make 2 practising days, cos i got work experience instead of school next week so i can probably hop on a train down to you guys :D also i can only make one day at the weekend which will be saturday with some of my mates which will watch :)

[flare]

well etc finish at 3 anyway so ill just get a bus down from school and then have a practice and find out whats happening about the youth display after school

[Blaze]

Do we know what the times of the performances are throughout the day man? Or do we find out next weekend?

[Hawk]

Also, what times is it for the training days ?

[Kurt Jobling]

I am waiting on the actually performance times but we'll most likely have 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.

Training days are:
Wednesday 9am - 7pm.
Thursday 10am - 7pm.
Friday 10am - 7pm.

[Blaze]

Awesome man, I'll be there, if its raining on the training days. Would we just sit under the scaffold and plan or something or just not turn up? Sorry for all the questions lol

[Agility]

Ahhh! i wont be able to make any of the practise days cos im at work experience and i work til 7 or 8 :mad: sorry guys, but ill still come and watch you guys saturday :D

[predator]

hey i became a member of the us as a youth lke last year and i was asked to do eastbourne extreme by philip sargo because he said he was asked i dont no would i be aloud to do it ? please reply back asap

[Kurt Jobling]

Well as it was about a year ago that you joined the youth section and Philip hasn't been part of our group for a long time now I'd say the answer is probably no. Sorry about that man, but feel free to come down and meet up with us and watch!

[Kurt Jobling]

Hey guys, really need everyone who wants to be part of the performance this year to turn up to tommorow's (Friday) training day as it will be the last day to put together a piece including all of us!

[Blaze]

I should be there tomorrow man but I wont be there for the entire day like yesterday, Ill only be there from about half 11ish till about 4

[Renegade]

Yeah guys please turn up because we need to start locking this down for it to be don

[Agility]

Yoo guys, can i have directions from eastbourne station to eastbourne extreme? :)

[Hawk]

Go from the station to the seafront the normal way, then keep going east of the pier and dont stop going along the seafront.

Ill PM my phone number in case you get lost.

[Agility]

Okayyy cheers Hawk, there is probably a high chance that im gonna get lost :D

[Blaze]

Haha we have a TomTom on the forums :D and yeah man basically what Hawk said, just go to the jetty and walk towards the pier but keep going and dont stop walking along the seafront till you see some scaffolding behind a building called the Sovereign Centre :)

[Agility]

Okayy sweet cheers guys for the info :) and i should be there maybe 11-12 ish if thats okay? :D

[Hawk]

Sorry i had to leave at about 2 today. Was because i was suffering badly from hayfever, sunburn, windburn and i was really tired. All for the best as it means i should be fine for tomorrow :)

[Nemesis]

Sorry i couldn't make it today guys, i had a funeral to go to, which i COMPLETLEY forgot that i was going to, my parents only reminded me this morning.

I should be down tomorow, if that is okay :) :S

[Blaze]

Eastbourne Extreme was bloody amazing this year! :D Everyone did awesomely, and the finale today was friggen brilliant! The best crowd weve had I'd say IMO :)
I just wanna say thanks for letting me take part guys, I'm really proud that I got to be involved :) Can't wait for the video to be done, I bet it looks sweet

[Kurt Jobling]

Well done to all of you guys! Amazing stuff, hope you all enjoyed everything, now get some well deserved rest. Will seeyou all at next training session, I will post one up soon!-ish... Rest... Yes, rest...

[Renegade]

[Blaze]

I do have some photos from today which I shall upload here :)

[Hawk]

I thought you guys rocked this year !!!

Shame i had to leave early both days as my eye obviously doesnt like parkour XD. That and the fact im badly burnt.

One person in particular needs a big clap though, thats Kurt for putting all this together - so three cheers for Kurt :)
