Everyone has heard of pumpkin carving contests. Well, this is like a contest except everyone wins!

We want to see your best Take Flight logos carved into pumpkins. We are always surprised how many Traceurs are also great artists. And even if you aren’t a great artist just spread the love of Parkour with a Take Flight pumpkin! Send us a picture of your finished pumpkin and we will send you a $8 gift card!

That’s right $8 just for carving a pumpkin. You fans create some of the coolest art out there and we just had to show you our appreciation. Halloween is only a couple days away so as soon as you are done training, get carving!

The Take Flight family has been so good to us that I’ve talked my bosses into letting us have a sale! And not just any sale, it’s sale focused on you guys and it’s meant to specifically thank you for:

#1. Backing Take Flight up when the news was announced that we were endorsed by David Belle. Some people refused to believe it was true and spread rumors, but you guys held true.
#2. Rallying our fan page from 30,000 fans to 36,000 in just a week.

In gratitude I’ve talked the bosses into putting this sale on, and since I’m the one behind it I’m calling it the The Flight Man Sale… after me of course ;-)

We are excited to have another international Fan of the Week: Matt Woolley from the U.K.!

Affectionately know as “Woolley Jumper” to his friends, Matt is a Parkour veteran who trains all around Brownhills, Walsall in the U.K. When he and his friends train they often have at least one camera around, so Matt has loads of great pictures from all their favorite training spots including this picture used for the Take Flight page with him wearing the Roof Jump Tee from TF. He also does a lot of filming and editing and has over a dozen videos on his facebook page.

When all is said and done the United Kingdom gets a big round of applause from us. Matt Woolley is our second Fan of the Week from that country this month, and he and the U.K. deserve it for all their Take Flight repping and Parkour focus. Congratulations again Matt for continuing the trend and being this weeks FOW!
