Skiing day!

As I said I went skiing today and by I, I mean Filip, Flippad, Ljungberg. It's been 4 years since I stood on a par of skis and 6 years since I went snowboarding. 6 YEARS? That's just too long so of course I had to try my sisters old snowboard out today..a bit small but at least I came home in one piece..

And here's my surprise for you ;) A little film from todays adventures with the snowboard

Is this how parkour started?

And also, don't forget our competitions!

Amongst those first 30 persons who register we will randomly give out 3 tees! Those who first reaches 20 topic will also win a t-shirt. (All and all we’ll be handing out 5 tees)

The second competition you can participate in at our Facebook fanpage! The first thing you need to do is to join Facebook fanpage group. Once you’ve joined you need to upload a picture where you’ve written: www.airwipp.com
This means that you can write it anywhere; on a piece of paper, a wall, yourself. The more creative you are the bigger is the chance that you’ll win! In this competition we’ll hand out 10 t-shirts!

Of course we pay for the shipping as well!

So what are you waiting for? Join today and start competing! All the cool pictures you take will later show at www.air-wipp.com

Looking for exercise?

If you feel like you've been a bit lazy lately and feel that some changes need to be made when it comes to exercise..then I've got the perfect sport for you!

I exercise every day; if I'm not at the gym, I'm doing parkour or climbing in trees or running or doing something else that requires movement. Usually all these things are enough to get in shape but the ultimate sport, according to me, when it comes to being and staying in good shape is indoor bandy!

I was completely exhausted after todays play but I had a really good time so it does'nt matter at all! Trust me, everybody can try..compared to me and my lousy play, anyone can feel like a champ! So if you're bored some day, try to get some friends of yours to join and I promise you'll get a really fun exercise!!

Ljungbergs

Ljungbergs Printing Company

Finally I'm done with Ljungbergs commercial movie. As you can see I'm doing some of the stunts..and filming the whole thing...and I've been editing it aswell. Basically I've been doing everything. Soon you can also see it at http://www.ljungbergs.se/

Tomorrow I'll be testing the cameras I talked about before. It's small cameras that'll streem live and you can put them on your body to make it even more real for the viewer.

Brilliant Idea!

I just saw that I've totally forgotten to tell you about my new brilliant idea! One day every week, say Friday for example, I'll upload a very short video from one of my trainings that week in particular. Nothing fancy, just to give you a little insight of what I do during the days.

This idea I'll probably start working on in about a week but if you want to check out edited videos go to my youtube channel:

And by the way, if you got any questions or request just write a comment right here in the blog or go to www.air-wipp.com and write in our guestbook!

Hello Everybody!

The question that is always asked is whether you should use PC or Mac. I believe it’s different from person to person. Either you like to work with PC or you prefer Mac, as simple as that. I’m definitlly a PC guy despite the fact that Mac, and let’s face it, gives you less problems. However I’ve become very attached to my computer and can get my work done faster and more effective on that one.

The reason for my extra ram memory is simple; I use a lot of programs that requires it and the same as for the processor. Many program however doesn’t support quad processor today but I believe it will in the future so I figured I might as well take it now.




When it comes to editing programs there are 4 populare ones:
• Viva
• Final Cut ( Mac)
• Sony Vegas 8.0 Pro
• Adobe Premier

I use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 C. The program is very easy to use and powerful as well! You can really enter deeply into the program and make the movies look almost professional. The “drop and drag” function in Vegas is extremely good and the program can also handle almost every format in the time line. If you’ve got a movie from you phone, Quicktime, Mpeg etc. you easily just drop it right in there!

In 5 days

So I haven't been writing in the blog for 5 days which is pretty bad! It's simply been one hectic week both with work, exercise and spare time.

Worked out in the gym a couple of hours ago and now I just came back from a photo session for Dagens Nyheter. Also remembered that the pictures from one of our latest jobs has not yet been shown! Of course I'll take care of that! It's pictures from the show we did for the Central government administration.

By the way found a really funny website; http://www.traceur.se/
At this website you can find the best places for parkour in Sweden. Simply klick at the map and you'll get pictures of places that are located at a certain spot. Everybody can upload places, simply become a member. Great website for a traceur (parkour practician) if one's got problems finding a good spot for example in a different city than your own.

Here's an example from the website

BE CAREFUL!

Parkour is great because of the fact that anybody can do it despite limited material stuff..you practically just need some fantasy and you're ready to go!

A little piece of advice however is to start out on small heights and soft areas. A gymnastics hall is to be prefered in the beginning. A couple of weeks ago you could read about a kid in Sweden who was trying to do parkour from a rooftop and fell about 7 meters..fortunatly he made it without serious injuries.

Parkour is one of a kind, but your body is also a one of a kind! If you're lucky you only get the small scratch Marcus got

air wipp t-shirts!

So, finally, they have arrived. The mighty Air Wipp t-shirts.
100 shirts in 6 different collars with 100 % ULTRA COTTON special made in Honduras.

The Quality from these shirts is awesome. We have used them for quite awhile now and they really feel comfortable.

Only few days to the Parcouring championship. There will be 10 nations, with up to 39 athletes who will compete. We just can´t wait =)

Stay tune for more info :)

Shoes

Our Friends PUMA is always helping us with new shoes. We are trying to come up with a new parkour shoe with them. Thought, it is not easy. 

ADIDAS, K-SWISS and 510 has allready PK shoes. But... it is allways nice try new shoes witch you can gladly wear out. hehe =)

Jungel!

We have found an amazing training place in Helsingborg called (Pålsjö Slott). There is this 100-150 M long jungle with tree’s. So to take you from the beginning to the end of this jungel with swings, lashes, precisions takes awhile and it’s fairly exhausting.

But it so much fun =)

I will try to take a picture and upload it tonight.
