Merry Christmas!

We'll be taking some time off during the holidays which means we'll be back in about a week. The Airwipp family wishes you all a very merry christmas!

Nice room

Jesper... please clean your room.

Surprise, Surprise

Me and Marcus did a show today in Baltiska hallen, Malmö. It was an event for teenagers. Lazee was also performing with his famous "Rock away".

We've got a little surprise for you guys today aswell! We've earlier been asked to do some stunts in a movie that'll probably have premier next year. Now the trailers are finished and you've been given the privilege to check them out before anyone else!

Here's my trailer, I'll upload Marcus tomorrow!

Air Wipp was live!

Airwipp was streaming live yesterday and we now got the complete videos! We'll upload them for you as soon as possible

julbord!

Our show last night went very good! We even remembered to bring a camera and shoot a video for you. Once we got to the place however they informed us that we had 3 minutes before it was showtime. We had to hurry up which resulted in no camera, no video. But that's nothing to be sad about since you can follow us the entire Monday, LIVE in addition, which is much more cool!

We'll be having our jam early tomorrow morning so pictures and videos will, if the blog don't mess with me as usual, be uploaded tomorrow night, so don't forget to check that out! Good night!

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!!

Schedule!

So here’s the schedule update I promised you!

This Friday the whole Air-Wipp family, Filip, Marcus, Kellner and Jesper, is performing in Malmö. In Sweden when Christmas starts getting close we’ve got something called “Christmas table”. This basically means a lot of people that will be eating a lot of food standing on a table. During this dinner we’ll entertain everybody with our show and of course, as always, we’ll try to get pictures and videos so that all of you guys can see it later!

Then we’ve got a little thing going on this Sunday. We prefer to call it a jam but one could also call it a workshop. Once again the whole Air-Wipp family are gathered along with some Danish guys and the day will pretty much result in a whole lot of parkour! The more traceurs the better, one can always learn something from another!

Last but definitely NOT LEAST we’ve got Monday, the big day! As I’ve told you before we’ve been asked to help out with some performances during a charity show that the TV channel SVT are hosting. During the entire day we’ll do parkour all around Malmö and on us we’re having cameras that’ll stream live the whole day. This means that you can follow us right here on the blog the entire day! So do not forget; MONDAY IS A BIG DAY!

Streaming live!

So next week a lot of new things are happening and you guys are going to be able to follow it right here on the blog!

Once I've got my schedule done I'll tell you everything about it, so check out the blog later tonight!

Ljungbergs

can't see

of course you guys can't see the movie now since the blog for some reason has decided to mess with me. I'll try again tomorrow morning!

Good night, sleep tight!

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.

workshop

teaching Saturday!

So today I gave a small lesson about parkour for a group of younger teenagers. I didn't have a good camera with me so the video I'll upload for you later is taken with a mobile phone. That means terrible quality but at least you can see for yourselfs what I've been doing today! (I'll try to put in some english subtitles or at least explain what I'm saying)

About safety

Training day

So here's the video I promised you yesterday, better late than never right?

good night everybody!

I'm going to Malmö tomorrow to do some work. Tell you about it tomorrow.

Keep your eyes open by the way, I've got a new video to show you from our training! If you're lucky I may upload it as soon as tomorrow!

Creativity

There's always something going on. Everyday we do something. Almost everyday we have something to tell about parkour...but today we don't. Today I'm totally lost, have no idea what to tell you about..no imagination at all..that's why I'm showing you pictures from a day when we had imagination!




As you hopefully can see we did our AIRWIPP logo with RedBull cans. That was pretty creative don't you think? The edges are not so smooth though but you got to remember that we usually don't do art..just parkour ;)

Malmö!

Don't have much to say except I'm going to Malmö this Wednesday to train with some friends (the two guys in the video below).

By the way, I've got my new computer now so I can't upload any pictures or videos yet, maybe later tonight!

What did we do yesterday?

THIS:

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:
http://www.youtube.com/user/2flippad

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!

What I use!

Hello Everybody!

People keep asking me (Filip, Flippad, Ljungberg) what kind of video editing program I use and what type of computer I work with.

I just bought a new computer. If you’re as nerdy as I am and wants to now all the dirty details, check this out:

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!

Here’s a good link for beginners:

Just finished!

We just finished our show, it went great, got really good response!

We're working on a new pretty fun idea for the blog, tell you more about that later!
got to dash now! Talk to you later!

Back

So we've just arrived home from the meeting with SVT. All the artists that are suppose to perform at the event was there. The meeting was pretty basic and we were told how much money we're suppose to raise 200 million SEK which is about 20 million Euros..that's a whole lot of money! It's not a lot of money per person though so if you do the math, the whole swedish population only have to give about 2 euros and the goal has been reached!

Tomorrow morning (EARLY tomorrow morning) we're doing a show for Sydvatten. Hopefully it'll go well!

Inspiration

Sometimes the lack of inspiration can prevent you from doing what your body is actually able to do. This happens from time to time if you're a traceur. You know that you've got all the abilities that it takes but still you don't know what to do or where to do it.

My first advice is to find cool spots and by that I mean places where you can do many moves. Parkour is mainly being done outdoors which means the possibilities are huge. I for example used to climb a lot of trees and I love lamppost!




Take a walk once in a while and try to see the possibilities! Everything is one big playground, use it!

By the way, later today we'll be having the meeting I told you about yesterday. I'll tell you all about it tonight!

Monday it is

Not much going on today but tomorrow however I'm having a meeting with the swedish tv channel SVT. They're planning an event for charity and wanted Airwipp to be part of some performances. I'll give you specific details on that one tomorrow!

Also wanted to remind you guys about our t-shirts! If you're interested just visit our website: www.air-wipp.com (there are tshirts without the website on the back available)

The Leather Factory

Finally it is here!

just a little tip!

It's hard to get good pictures out of parkour. The fast movements and often, or always, the outdoor locations results in pretty bad pictures. To make things easier of course you first find a good spot to let the camera be put in and then decide from which angle the best shots can be taken..not always as easy as it sounds!


Here's a cool angle and pretty much perfect timing..

With a somewhat good camera one can however get awesome pictures! We also love to use our fish eye for pretty much everything, both movies and photos. Extremely cool effect especially for parkour pictures.


THE FISH EYE!

Sensation white

Last Saturday I took a day off from parkour to do something else; dance! Me and my friends got tickets for Sensation White a long time ago and all of the sudden it was Saturday, the big day! It was incredible, can't put it in words. It was definitely worth all the money that's one thing for sure!

30 000 people having a blast..what a sight!

pictures from cityterminalen

Here's all of the pictures that the professional photographer took by

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

Good morning!

Here's the video I've been talking about..ten of those every morning sure will cheer one up!

talk to you later!

Found on facebook

the gymnaestrada 07

Me and Caroline

Found some reeeeaaaaally old pictures on facebook. Feel free to visit, Filip Ljungberg is the name.

could'nt make it..

so the movie I shot this morning is still messing with me, can't get it into the computer. I'll try tomorrow at the computer at work.

As I told you we had a meeting with Boblbee. Their producing rucksacks that are specially made for certain sports. We're now discussing a cooperation between Airwipp and Boblbee. When things are settled we'll let you know all about it!

Here's some photos Marcus did with Boblbee. Really cool don't you think?

this morning

So I've started doing this thing every morning when I wake up; Handstand. Handstand on my living room carpet. You wake up faster than ever! The computer is messing with me at the moment but I'll upload the video for you later today, do not miss that! It's worth watching..

Just came back from a meeting. I'll tell you more about that later too!

The trailer, but what about the real thing?

It's been a while since we did " The leatherfactory" and many of you probably wonder when the actual movie will be released. Because of the bad weather we haven't been able to record anything. Outdoor environment is the best place to shoot at and with all the rain it's been way too slippery, we can't risk to get injuries. If we can however put together something good with the material we already have of course we'll give updates on that! That'll result in an extended version once the weather allows us to!

Not Parkour but still!

Good morning everybody! We've got a whole new week to look forward to now. The weather could be better but we'll get cheered up by other things! No workout yesterday which means double doses of movement today!

Got to head out for work now I'll give you updates during the day!

handstand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA_AA3_QEr8

this guy is crazy, check out his handstand! After watching this I can't wait to improve my own handstand

clubbing in Sthlm

On Friday night me and my girls decided to see sthlm by night. Here we are at white room. We were however very tired so we only stayed for a little while and then went back to the hotel. Pretty fancy with the green light hitting right in our faces..it almost looks like paint...

the guys that attended at the workshop

Zyrk's double kong

Flippad at the workshop


Zyrk at the workshop


Handstand at the workshop


I nearly fainted after doing that...

Finally got some sleep!

Once we've landed in Ängelholm yesterday we were exhausted. After two days of work with barely any sleep we, or at least I, were about to fall asleep while I was driving back to Helsingborg. Despite the fact that I could have slept for 100 years it seemed I managed to have some dinner and go to the movies (saw Burn after reading, pretty good). Woke up about an hour ago so now I'm finally alert again. Not sure if practise will be a part of today, I'll see how I feel later!

I'll upload some more pictures from this weekend for you!

Here's a picture from the grand opening with Filip and Marcus on stage. Filip of course took the oppertunity to climp a bit and helped remove some wires.

Both Marcus and Filip just did an interview about safety in english so soon we'll try to upload the video for you!

In about half an hour there'll be a workshop here at Cityterminalen. Anybody interested is welcome to join!

Live at Cityterminalen!

About an hour ago we did an interview live for the radio station Rix FM. If you were awake by that time you could also see us at (swedish) channel 6, live. A bit nervous but everything went great!

Today Cityterminalen's got their opening which is why Rix FM is doing their live show right here. We'll be here all day and give you updates and for all of you who's in Sthlm, feel free to come and check us out!

You'll hear from us soon

By the way, check out the picture of marcus in our hotelroom last night ;)what do you think?!

meeting

right now, flippad is sitting in a meeting with Red Bull. He'll give updates on that later!

thursday

Good morning everybody. So our plane lifts at 19.30 tonight which means we've got all day to do some planning. And packing of course..I doubt the packing will be a priority, somehow we always end up packing in the absolute last minute and on top of it all forgets half of our stuff.

So tomorrow morning you'll all be awake we assume to listen to Rix FM (107.2)morgon zoo 06-10.00! For you guys who don't live in Sweden we promise there'll be both photos and videos that you can watch later.

later!

Dont miss the Flygbussarna

And another funny commercial... :)

Check 0.19 ;)

don't miss the swebus

one of many, check out http://www.youtube.com/user/dontmissthebuzz

good morning!

tried to stay up last night to watch the election but I was exhausted after my work out yesterday. Anyway Obama apparently won so I'm satisfied.

So last night I worked out a bit in the gymnastics hall in Höganäs. With that I'm not very satisfied but it'll be better next time.

Stockholm tomorrow! I think I'll bring the computer so that I can give you some daily updates.

Got to hurry up now, can't be late for work!

translation

here's the one that did'nt work and some translation

reporter: what is parkour?
marcus: to get from point A to B as fast and smooth as possible. There's a story about a warrior in Vietnam who's trying to get away from his enemies and the best ways to get away from ones enemies is to jump and run over things and find the easiest path to get away from them.
filip: you've got to find your own way, your own solution. If marcus jumps over the wall in one way I find my own way to do it. It's also important to make your own judgements on wether you can make the jump or not.
marcus: the important thing is not to rush things and for example do those high jumps from 4 metres. It takes training and different amount of time for everybody.
reporter: this thing with parkour, is it fun?
filip: of course it is!
marcus: no it's damn boring....no, it's the best thing ever!

safety comes first!

the video we put up before does'nt seem to work so heres another one about safety instead ;)

if parkour is fun? no it's damn boring...

Unfortunately we speak swedish in this clip, we'll try to do some translation for you guys later tonight and uppload a video!

It was fun

The crew


our room..

ffooooood!

poor camera guy..was in more pain than we were ;)

here's some of our pictures from Stockholm, we had a whole lot of fun! Our bodies were in a lot of pain after an 8 hour long day filled with parkour but it was absolutely worth it!

Stockholm city

As you know we went to stockholm last week to shoot a commercial movie that'll be rolling on Cityterminalens tv-screens. The videos can be seen at youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dontmissthebuzz



This week we'll be heading back to Stockholm, partly for the live show we're doing for cityterminalen and partly for another job we'll tell you later about that will be...well let's say somewhat amusing.

sorry for the extremely BAD update!

anyhow we've been in Stockholm doing some work and later this week we've got another job again in Sthlm. I promise, pictures and videos will come tomorrow at the latest.

Keep following us, we've got some good things coming that you don't want to miss!

radio favorit and kullaflyg

marcus was cute too ;)

Kullaflyg ;)

TIREEEEED from the early morning

HELL YEAH! rocking it in the studio

went great!

The job for Kullaflyg went great despite the early morning issue. Hopefully my audition will result in something to and if everything go as planned you'll se what I'm about to do!

Today we recorded a little interview for Favorit as I've been telling you before..

Forgot to throw the pictures into the computer but I'll upload some pictures for you as soon as I can!

reading scripts

did parkour all over Göteborg..

and read the script..

and here's a handstand

Yesterday we were in Göteborg shooting the promofilm for the movie "skills" that we'll be shooting summer 2009. Marcus plays one of the main characters which means he's got a whole lot of lines to remember. To read scripts is somewhat new to us, but it was a really fun day! My whole body aces today though, hopefully it'll pass until tomorrow on our first show..which by the way starts at 06.10 in the morning! let's hope we can stay awake ;)

at least three

well not all of the pictures could be uploaded, but at least these three..the first two was taken this summer at Swedish open in Båstad (a whole week with tennis), and the third just a couple of weeks ago when we did a job for central government administration

trouble..

well for some reason the pictures can't be uploaded, we'll try again later!

GBG!

So today we're in Göteborg, doing preparations for a movie..we'll tell you more about that when the shooting starts.

Marcus is acting right now and I'm simply laughing...It just looks so funny when a guy that really has no acting skills is faced with a real actor!

Anyway, we'll stay here all day, tomorrow we're free and this monday we've got more missions to come that we'll tell you about ;)

here's some pictures from different jobs we've done this year!

sorry!

if our website looks a bit odd we apologize for that, it will soon be finished ;)

www.air-wipp.com

england!

here's some pictures from our training days in England! In the picture at the bottom you can see the group 3run and in the picture above we've got ilibaca, livewire and ryan doyle..and me and Marcus of course..

sorry about the bad update, we've got a lot of things going on right now. Tomorrow we'll be heading off for Göteborg, tell you more about that later!

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
