NOS™
`The Scientist` of Parkour Mumbai, the enigmatic, long-haired NOS, about whom little is known, except for the fact that he runs this place. Also seen as the Evil Overlord of Parkour Mumbai/Parkour India by some.

The Architect
The team's resident venerated wise old guy, the oldest traceur in Parkour Mumbai. Otherwise been doing crazy shit all his life, including breaking his nose thrice, officially he's been with Parkour Mumbai/Team NUTs since it's inception in late 2007.

Gaijin
His nickname says it all! Although a very young guy who joined the NUTs very late, he learns things at the speed of lightning, and is full of promise and enormous talent. Speaks less and does more. It is believed he will be the successor of the legendary NOS . But as mentioned, NOS does not age, so don't know when that will happen.........

Daredevil
Known as Gra-V-to in breakdancing circles, Apurva is one helluva daredevil, who doesn't flinch or bat an eyelid when presented with a difficult (read death-inducing) obstacle, he just shuts his eyes and leaps it. We first met him on the Pk-Mum mega-jam held in 2007, and he's been practicing with us since then.

Psycho
Although not a core team member, he's still considered very much a part of the NUTs. He's got a few spectacular moves under his belt, although tricking is more his thing rather than actual parkour. After all, he's a professional stuntman from Bollywood, who has also doubled Asid from UF once. Loves his shoes so much that he never lands on them. Beware if you try to get him to do anything with a camera pointed at him, the above will apply even more! Tends to be a little flirtatious at times, but maybe things will change after his wedding? Who knows! *shrugs*

Aviator
Again, although not a core team member, he's still very much a part of the NUTs. He's rather good at computers and hacking (but not more than NOS, infact a competition is going to be held real soon to decide who's better, and NOS will show this young upstart who is the boss!). He prefers practicing parkour on the computer rather than practicing it outdoors, and when he does happen to waltz outdoors accidently, he makes animals practice parkour instead of doing it himself. Go figure!

Wierdo
Chooses not to affiliate himself with any team even though along with the Aviator he is one of the Nuttiest NUTs around. The guy is crazy, we've never seen him without a smile on his face, or seen a time when he isn't cracking silly jokes and making everyone laugh their butts off. Although considered by some others to be quite a serious fellow, we have yet to see that elusive serious side of his (see above) - dang, he isn't even serious when he talks about quitting things. Seems to have given up on his wierd habits of late though we liked him better with them.
