Pk-Day footage

Fri, 12 Dec, 2008 00:00:00 IST

Here is the long-delayed, much awaited video of the events from the Pk-Day held earlier this year. You can watch it on youtube here.
We apologise for the delay, we had a little difficulty in collecting all the stuff shot by different people together at one place.

You can also watch snapshots of the proceedings in our pk-day album here.

We've also taken the opportunity to add a few more picture albums and photographs to the website. So also have a look at our updated albums while you're at it.

Pk-Day a huge success

Mon, 17 Nov, 2008 00:00:00 IST

The first Pk-Day Mumbai was a resounding success, with an unprecedented 30+ traceurs from different groups from all over the city showing up, along with various other people interested in Parkour for different reasons also being present as spectators. There were some people from the media, happily clicking away as the traceurs put on their moves for display, and a cheering crowd of onlookers gathering everywhere we went.
A houseowner watching the event from above was so impressed that he even went so far as to invite a traceur to jump off his living room window onto the balcony a dozen feet below (but he didn't accept the offer though).

We'll be putting up the pictures and an edit of the proceedings in some time, as soon as we are able to get our hands on all of them and sort them out.

Pk-Day fast approaching

Mon, 27 Oct, 2008 00:00:00 IST

The first ever Indian Pk-Day is fast approaching, my fellow traceurs. Make sure your preparations to attend it are going on in full swing, and you have made the requisite arrangements for it, like taking the necessary leave for that day from work/school/college/friends/family/guests/other planned visits or trips from home/etc. We are hoping to make it a big event and a great success, in order to continue the annual tradition for years to come.
Please direct all queries for the event to our mailbox mentioned on the contact-us page.

Important Notice

Thu, 11 Sep, 2008 00:00:00 IST

A few irresponsible, outgoing members of Team NUTs, decide to form their own renegade team, and call themselves 'The Real NUTs'. The public is requested to exercise caution in dealing with them, and to not confuse them with the real Team NUTs, that is, the people behind this website. There is only one Team NUTs in existence in the Parkour/Freerunning world as of now, and that is the one mentioned on the relevant page on this website. Most likely the issue over the infringement of our name will be sorted out in the near future. Meanwhile we implore you to please not confuse this new team with the actual one.

Notice of Removal

Thu, 28 Aug, 2008 00:00:00 IST

Two erring members of Team NUTs, Edsel Rodriguez aka the Lil' Devil, and Giles D'Souza aka The Kid, have been removed from the team for misconduct. Henceforth, they do not have anything to do with the team whatsoever, and any interaction of outside parties with these members, wrongfully assuming them to still be team members based on past information, will solely be on their own risk.

People who deal with Edsel and Giles need to be aware that they are acting individually and of their own accord, and are not representing the team anymore.

Owing to personal differences, Nilesh Shah aka Wierdo and Akhil Shetty aka the Jumper have also left the team, and no longer represent us in their interaction with the outside world.

Notice for Pk-Day event

Fri, 11 Jul, 2008 00:00:00 IST

Pk-Day Mumbai to be held in Nerul on Nov 16, 2008.
An event for traceurs and interested traceurs from all parts of the city to get together and jam, and have loads of fun in general. First such event held in the city/country.

A link to the official announcement in detail can be found here.
And I just noticed something - What a coincidence that I plan to organise an aniversary of the first Parkour Mumbai mega-jam (in the form of the Pk-Day) on the very aniversary of the starting of this website!
