Take Flight

The All Over Parkour Tee is the last of 6 features we are doing on the six brand new tees in our 2010 Parkour clothing line. Different from anything we’ve ever made (or seen for that matter) this Parkour tee is one of a kind.

The All Over Parkour Tee was created to fill one gaping hole in the world of Parkour clothing: the all over Parkour print. Every shirt ever made for Parkour up until now, even going back as far to the those produced by La Releve, were made with designs only covering part of the shirt. For reasons both obvious and inexplicable we wanted to expand the precedent by producing the first ever Parkour design to cover the entire shirt. The result is the All Over Parkour Tee.

With Parkour written in quite literally every corner of the front of this shirt, the All Over Parkour Tee is in a class all its own. No other shirt says Parkour so fully. The added design component behind this tee was another input directly from Take Flight  founder Adam Dunlap. To raise curiosity and make the shirt that much more noticeable, we replaced the first “r” in “Parkour” with the Take Flight Flight Man. The result is the immediately recognizable world known “Parkour” with an added edge and twist that makes it that much more iconic.

We are extremely proud to have the All Over Parkour Tee in our 2010 line, both for its significance in the world of Parkour clothing and for its authenticity and classic clean urban touch. As such we have released it in more colors than any other tee in the launch – that is 5 to be exact and those colors are Royal Blue, Red, Purple, Yellow and Orange. In spite of the added considerable cost to produce an all over shirt, we are holding the line at only $19.95 for this tee which you can pick up in the Take Flight store now. We will also be giving one of these away later today, so stay connected to our Facebook page for all the details.

This tee is up for grabs if you stay dialed in to our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/TakeFlightApparel

The connectivity continues to grow!

Phantom Issue #1,042

For the fourth week in a row we have crossed the 1,000 interaction mark! This week, the 26^th week of the challenge, we had 1,042 interactions on our Facebook page which means that more than 1,000 times Traceurs around the world have commented, shared, Liked, critiqued, showed support of, and otherwise interacted with us and the Worldwide Parkour community through our page. Great job everyone!

For reaching 1,000+ interactions we are (as we always do in this case) giving away more free Parkour clothing! It’s just one way we can think of to encourage the interaction and sharing of Parkour through Facebook. Stay connected to the Take Flight Facebook page for all the details and your chance to win!

At Take Flight one of our primary goals is to bring Parkour clothing to Traceurs from all financial walks of life. If you are dedicated to Parkour we believe you should be able to own Parkour clothing; it’s as simple as that. With that in mind we work hard to make sure our clothing is affordable. One of the ways we do this is by never charging tax to our customers.

At Take Flight we charge absolutely no tax on any purchases from our online store! The prices you see are the prices you’ll pay. Whether it’s an Take Flight City Tee want that is labeled $19.95, or a poster of David Belle from B13 Ultimatum labeled $19.95, your checkout total for the items you want will never change. There is no hook or catch – this tax-free principle is true for all the items in and purchases made from our store.

Although shipping charges may be applied to your order (shipping is free with $75 purchases), there is absolutely NEVER any tax placed on any order place through our site.* We have worked hard and smart to develop this foundation, and we are committed to maintaining it for the benefit of Parkour and Traceurs across the globe.

*A VAT (Value Added Tax) may be imposed by the government of importing countries if you make a purchase from a country other than the United States. We working on getting rid of this too, but for now it remains.

The 10,000 Facebook fan mark has been reached! We repeat, the 10,000 Facebook fan mark has been reached!

In less than a year 10,000 Traceurs from around the world have become fans of Take Flight on Facebook. We see this as a monumental achievement for Parkour globally and we couldn’t be happier to be bringing authentic Parkour wear to so many people around the world.

In return for your efforts, loyalty, excitement, and spreading the word about the page around Facebook we are having a huge sale as promised. The sale will be a no limits 25% OFF weekend event when everything in the TF store will be discounted by one quarter of its price. This will bring the price of Original Parkour Tees down to only $11, the price of Parkour Wings Tees and Vault Man Tees down to only $16, the Take Flight Gold Tee will be only $18.75, Original Parkour Pants will be only $24, and posters, DVDs, and other products down to similarly unbelievable and previously unseen prices!

Today is the 234th birthday of the United States! Celebrated on July 4th of every year to commemorate the Independence of the United States from Britain in 1776, this is one of the most energy packed celebrations of the year in the United States filled with fireworks and BBQs, and, since the foundation of Parkour, countless community Parkour jams!

In order to celebrate the birthday of the USA we are having a two day 20% of sale! During the 4th and 5th of July we are releasing a 20% off coupon good on absolutely anything you purchase from the Take Flight Store including Parkour gear, magazines, posters, DVDs, Parkour clothing, Parkour tee shirts, hoodies, pants and more. Simply use promo code “PKindependence” at checkout and the savings will be immediately applied to your shopping cart!

Today the U.S. celebrates independence and freedom. But these two ideals are not specialized to the United States. In fact, independence and freedom are two very essential ideals that go hand in hand with the movement of Parkour. So whether you live in the U.S. and you are making special attention of the 4th of July with fireworks, BBQs, and PK jams, or whether you live in another country the 4th is just another day on the calendar, you too can take advantage of our celebration by taking 20% off everything in our store.

You’ve done it again! For the second week in a row we’ve had 1,206 interactions (“Likes” and comments) on our Facebook page. That means we are giving away more FREE* Parkour clothing!

The winner will be randomly selected from those who comment and he/she will be given the Parkour Wings Tee of THEIR CHOICE! (there are 4 different color options)

Winning FREE Parkour clothing has never been easier!

*Free international shipping IS included!

We are getting closer! This, the 22^nd week of the 1,000 Parkour Interaction Challenge, we experienced 854 interactions on the Take Flight Facebook Page. This is the highest interactions total since week 8 when we had 864 interactions.

Although we didn’t reach the 1,000 interaction-free-PK-clothing mark, the most exciting thing about the recent interaction total isn’t week 22’s total, but rather the total we are building for this week! At this point, in the last seven we’ve had 1,103 total interactions. This is the highest 7 day interaction total ever! The interaction total is calculated on Monday which means that all we have to do is maintain the interaction total over the next 5 days, nay, we can ever reduce our interaction total by 103 (!), and we will achieve the 1,000 interaction goal required for us to give away free Parkour clothing!

With 8 versions of the Original Parkour Tee now in the Take Flight store, and a handful of new products on the way in the next two weeks, we have more and more on the line which makes the weekly interaction sum more and more exciting. Let’s see if week 23 can be the one. Join us in helping spread Parkour; comment and “Like” posts, and post on the Take Flight Facebook Page so we can get to 1,000!

Week 20 and 21 closed and we’re still tracking the interaction totals on the Take Flight Facebook Fan page. The totals for these past two weeks were 496 and 573 interactions respectively.

The conquest for 1,000 interactions in a single week continues. With some new posting content to provide to the Parkour community, new Parkour apparel to be released this week, and a fan page that has recently exploded, we have high expectations that this week (#22) may be the one where we break through the roof and start giving away all that free Parkour clothing that our fans have been seeking for so long. Join our cause this week, and let’s see if we can make it!

This tee is up for grabs! Let's get 1,000 interactions so we can give it away!
