Take Flight

The Take Flight Facebook page has just today passed 20,000 fans! In anticipation of this event we planned ahead, and in order to celebrate we have just launched two new Parkour shirts!

The Original Parkour Tee II

Lisses France Parkour Tee

The two new shirts (seen above) and color variations of the Original Parkour Tee II and the Lisses France Parkour Tee. These are our two favorite color options of these designs by far, and both are only $19.95. If you want to be the first to sport either of these tees, navigate to the Take Flight store and pick your shirt up now!

For almost 9 months now we at Take Flight have held a weekly contest called the 1,000 Interaction Challenge. Since it was debuted it January 2009 in accordance with our Take Flight Facebook page we have grown from a fan page of a couple hundred to now almost 13,000! With such a large page, our ability to spread Parkour to the masses and around the world is so much greater than before that we are updating our call to action for our fans and changing the 1,000 interaction challenge to a 2,500 Interaction Challenge.

2,500 weekly interactions is all it takes for us to give away more FREE PK clothing every week!

The 1,000 Interaction Challenge will now be called the 2,500 Interaction Challenge. The rules are the same save for one slight modification: every time we reach the interaction mark in a week (comprised of “Like”s and comments on our Facebook page including the wall) we will give away another free Parkour tee to a lucky fan. The change is, now instead of requiring 1,000 interactions in a single week we now need 2,500.

With soon to be 13,000 fans on the Take Flight Facebook page, reaching 2,500 interactions is a still theoretically so easy. We post about 20 Parkour posts a week and each of our fans can “Like” and comment on each post. That gives us a potential max interaction total of over half a million! But don’t take 2,500 challenge lightly for that reason. Reaching that many interactions will still only be accomplished if you and the rest of our fans spread Parkour and the videos we post through Facebook by liking, commenting, and sharing the links with friends.

Parkour is growing around the world everyday, but there is still so much to do. So partner with us through the 2,500 Interaction Challenge to spread Parkour through Facebook, and let’s make it happen! You might even win a Parkour shirt along the way.

We're giving away this tee this week! Stay tuned for details!

You guys have done it again! This week you have posted more interactions than ever before with 1,394 total comments, likes, and posts!

With a new record interaction total we are yet again giving away free Parkour clothing through our Facebook Fan Page! This week we are giving away a Take Flight City Tee. Sometime in the next 3 days we’ll post an announcement on the Take Flight page about the give-a-way. All you have to do is comment on the post for your chance to win!

Keep up the interacting and stay tuned into our page for more chances to win FREE PK gear and clothing!

We recently asked our fans what they wanted to see from us. To be exact, the post on our Facebook said:

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD NOW! We want the Take Flight page to be something you are enthusiastic about sharing with your friends. What can we do for you to make this a reality? More PK videos? More quotes? Discounts?! New clothing?! A huge sale?! Or something else? This is your chance to change what we do at Take Flight …and how we run our page so let us know by commenting on this post!

In addition to fans wanting us to continue posting videos and quotes, the number one response we received was to begin making Parkour tutorial videos. When we heard this idea we immediately loved it! As such, starting this week we will begin doing this and we hope to release a new video every week or two.

Throughout the months to come we plan to release Parkour tutorials via the Take Flight YouTube channel on all sorts of movements and techniques to help our followers learn Parkour and be safe in their progression. With this in mind, if there is a specific technique you’d like to learn let us know so we can make a tutorial on it. Post on our Facebook wall or send us an email and we’ll get back to you. We want these video to help you, so let us know what you want!

Week 27 has concluded with 1,180 Facebook interaction! This is fourth week in a row that we’ve crossed the 1,000 interaction mark, and, as always, when our followers amount 1,000 or more interactions in a single week we give away free Parkour clothing!

This week we are giving away a pair of Parkour Skyline Tees! Sometime later this week we’ll post the announcement on our Facebook page. When you see this, all you have to do is comment and you’ll be entered to win. We are going to add a little twist this week that’ll give you control over your entry, so make sure to stay tuned in to Take Flight on Facebook for another one of our weekly opportunities to get your Take Flight clothing for free!

We recently reached 10,000 fans on our Facebook page and as promised we are celebrating with a 25% OFF sale! There are no buying restrictions quantity limits or other fine print to this weekend discount. To get 25% off all Take Flight clothing all you have to do is enter the 10,000 Fan Sale coupon code at checkout which is:

This 10,000 Fan – 25% off sale brings the price of tees such as the Vault Man Tee and Parkour Wings Tee down to only $16, and the Original Parkour Tee (now in 13 varieities) to only $11!

Big sales like this are just one of the ways we work to bring the world’s best Parkour clothing to Traceurs around the world. And as the Take Flight Facebook page grows we’ll continue to provide sales like this. Our philosophy is simple: the more fans we have, the more obligation we have, and the more we do. For example we’ve already promised to have a 50% off sale when we reach 100,000 fans (!).  Where we go beyond that is up to you, but the sky is the limit.

P.S. This sale applies to all products in the Take Flight store including those on discount and Parkour Gear such as Parkour Posters, Parkour DVDs, and Parkour Magazines too!

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!

We recently changed our Facebook page image and the update has been raising some eyebrows. The old image was our logo shown here:

The new image is this:

As you can see, the new image is much more detailed, and it not only includes our logo, it also includes our website-store address, our slogan (Jump. Fly. Dream.™), a Parkour shirt, and a foreshadowing of an upcoming promotion we are introducing that will change the way we interact with Traceurs and spread Parkour around the world.

In accordance with this new image, tons of people have been dying to know what the Fan of the Week is and how to become it! Although we are going to keep the complete details under wraps until we are ready for the fan of the week launch, for now we will say that we mean to feature fans directly on our Facebook fan page image. Hard to believe? It’s absolutely true.

We expect this recent FB image change to bring a new found energy to the TF Facebook presence and a new found excitement to Traceurs around the world. We plan to utilize it to better spread Parkour throughout the world, so we hope you like it!

You guys have done it again! For the third week in a row you have accomplished the task of making 1,000+ interactions on our Facebook page! This means we are giving away more free Parkour clothing.

We'll be giving away this tee later this week!
