need SUMMER!!!!!!!

found a picture that was taken in may this year..life was just sooooo much more enjoyable when spring kicked in and one just knew that sooooon the summer will be hereeee...but no, instead of having a great summer we have october..october in Sweden means that one can practically drown from all the rain splashing down on you..

so anyway, heres a picture from may..when the sun did'nt set until 20.55

in lack of anything else..

well not much going on today..we were in the local newspaper and earlier today Marcus did an interview

We really hope you have'nt missed our t-shirts ;) if you however in some mysterious way managed to avoid the t-shirts, click at the link below and check them and our friends out ;)

too bad..

We were pretty unlucky today unfortunately. We have been very excited about training with the police and today was the big day…but as we said, we were very unlucky.

Just fifteen minutes before we were suppose to begin the whole team had to rush away (and yeah we really mean RUSH AWAY!) and our practice will be moved to another day. We later found out that it had to do with a hostage drama so no wonder we weren’t priority number one ;)

Anyway, here’s a picture of our cute manager being VERY busy with air wipps paperwork! Keep it up Emil ;) I look pretty busy too..

All of you who’s got the possibility to read Helsingborgs Dagblad have hopefully not missed us. If you however don’t have access to the paper you can find both the interview and cool pictures at http://hd.se/helsingborg/2008/10/13/parcour/

Today I’m probably just going to work out a bit in the gym and later meet up with our manager. I’ll try my best to take a photo of him so that people can recognize his pretty face once they see it ;)

So today everything went good on the interview, you can read about it in tomorrows Helsingborgs Dagblad.

well that's about it for today..if you guys have any questions about anything feel free to ask us!

todays priority: parkour

So today I’ll be heading off for malmö (a city close to Helsingborg) to meet some friends and simply have fun while doing what we love; parkour ;) lets just hope that we won’t get soaking wet .. nowadays it’s always raining


Yesterday one could find us in the Swedish newspaper “Dagens nyheter”. Tomorrow we’re going to meet “Helsingborgs dagblad” for an interview. Last but not least, this Tuesday the practise with the S.W.A.T team will begin!!!

Hamburg Parcouring Championship

just some pictures..

Some pictures we took a couple of weeks ago ;) found great places a bit outside of Helsingborg

well then :D

It is now confirmed! Air-wipp will be helping the Swedish S.W.A.T team out next week already! We can assure you the practise will be tough but ohh boy what a great time we're gonna have!

We’ll try to shoot some pictures, if the team is willing to pose for the camera ;)

Today is just an ordinary day and strenght will be the main focus on practise today. A whole lot of rehab will probably be squeezed in to todays schedule as well..

swedens s.w.a.t???

There's no need to rush anything but we are really excited about this so we just have to tell!!!

During the days we spent time in Germany we got an offer from the Swedish S.W.A.T team! They’re interested in letting air-wipp help them out with their practise. This far nothing is for sure but what a great experience though if we do get to help them out! Help out with the S.W.A.T teams training? How cool is that?

The Asics World Parcouring Championship.

As I mentioned we travelled to Hamburg last Thursday. Our navigator was out of function once we reached Germany and Marcus failed to notice the ENOURMOUS signs that said “Rödby putt garden”. Well there’s a good start we thought, we won’t even find the place!

However we managed to arrive at 18.00 and met all the guys who were to participate in the championship. We truly had a blast and catched up with both new people and some old friends.

The Event was well organized but the weather became an issue though. The rain resulted in a lot of waiting for the ground and course to dry.

You could compete in two categories; speed and style.
Filip found the speed cool and funny and managed to maintain the same pace throughout the whole course which was over 250 meters containing obstacles. Marcus also did great the first 5 but became tired at the end and lost some speed because of that.

After competing in the speed contest, the style contest followed. Here’s our results:
Filip: Backspring WippWipp (yeaaah, go air-WIPP), jump from small area, directly front spring, back spring 360 and gainer.
POINTS: 8,8,8

Marcus: gainer 360, devil side drop, inverted flip, back flip 360.
POINTS: 9,9,9

We both scored extremely high considering the judges had strict demands.

The next day the rain fell over us once again and we started to discuss whether we should compete further or not. The slippery ground could result in injuries we simply can’t afford to have.

Filip decided to skip the style competition because of the high risk factor. He was however placed third in the speed competition! Marcus on the other hand decided differently and simply went for it….big! As a result to that he shared first place with another kid from Bulgaria!

Air-wipp is enormously satisfied with the results and we want to thank everybody involved in the event, both for letting us participate and for letting us have a really great time!

finally, we're on our way

This Thursday we were finally loading our stuff into the car and headed off for Germany!!

Extremely exciting!!!

Everything has been going great with the competition, today both me and Marcus will compete in the finals.

We’ve both been lucky; no remarkable injuries this far so we’re just keeping our fingers crossed that we don’t screw anything up now!

We’ll update pics and videos as soon as we arrive home!
