Take Flight

We’re all about giveaways and free stuff. We see it as a way to give back to loyal fans, followers, and customers. Our newest giveaway is stickers, and it’s ongoing and you can get them anytime.

There are two ways to get free stickers:

#1. Place an order. As of now, every order comes with the snazzy new Take Flight die-cut sticker that we’ve designed.

There is only one way to get this sticker. You can’t buy it. You have to get it for free.

We are running a special promotion to close out March:

Buy a Parkour hoodie and get a Parkour tee shirt for free.

Notes regarding the free tee:

1. The tee is of the Grab Bag variety meaning we choose it. But trust us, we’ll choose a good one : )
2. The tee will be of the same size as the hoodie unless you specify a different size to us. Specifying a different size can be done simply by responding to your order confirmation or writing customer service an email after you place your order (support@takeflightapparel.com).

Hoodies have already been marked for winter closeout and are as low as $24! What this means is you can get a hoodie and a tee shirt for one amazing price. It actually costs us more than $24 to just make a hoodie (not counting the shirt) so this is a crazy deal. But we’re all about bringing value to the Parkour community so it is worth it : ))

This deal only last until the end of Mach so if this is something you want then act quickly.

Wishing everyone a great spring!

Buy a Parkour Hoodie and Get a Parkour Tee for Free!

The Ultimate TF Giveaway has been going fantastic since we launched it last Thursday. So far the Take Flight Fan Page has grown almost 3,000 fans, and we’ve given away 8 Parkour shirts! Both of these numbers are increasing hourly. Great work everyone!

Since the contest launched we have received lots of emails, Facebook messages, and wall posts regarding the giveaway. Most has been full of excitement and appreciation. Unfortunately (and we can’t say we didn’t expect this) there has been some confusion. AHHH! We wanted to clear up as much of this as we can with this post so here we go:

The details of the contest and how to enter were/are posted here. Anyone who followed these directions has been entered in the contest. However, a few people attempted to follow the directions, but didn’t and have either not been added to the official queue or have been disqualified. Three of the most common errors were:

• Not adding Take Flight as a friend on Facebook.
• Not posting the number of friends you added on our page wall (not to be confused with our profile wall).
• Not inviting all your friends.

If you think you did all this but your name is not in the queue it is probably because you didn’t post your friend addition on our wall (it was from there that we created the queue). With that in mind, even if you are currently on the list, you could still be disqualified if we realize that the giveaway qualifications have not been followed (for example, if we realize that we aren’t friends! :\ )

One more thing to clear up: we’ve had a lot of people ask if there will be a time limit on this contest. The answer to that is…maybe… not…but maybe so? The thing is, at this point we don’t really know. The plan was never to have a time limit on the giveaway but rather let everyone who entered win even if that took a few weeks. So far things are going great and we are giving away shirts daily, but if that changes and the TF page stops growing in accordance with this giveaway then stopping it is something we will probably do since it really change anything. In fact, if this does become the case we’d much rather move on to other giveaways so everyone can have more chances to win again.

Lastly, if you have won (or will win) we will contact you. Don’t worry about sending us an email or message. You can leave that to us :)

That should pretty much answers all the questions we’ve received. If there is anything else we’re missing comment here and let us know!

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!

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!

Every week that fans make 1,000 or more interactions (Likes, comments, or posts) on the Take Flight Facebook page we give away free clothing. Because we reached 1,042 this week, you have another chance to win. Sometime this week we will be posting on our Facebook page regarding this opportunity. When we do, all you have to do is follow the directions (which will be “comment on this post”) and you’ll be entered. One commenter will be selected at random and we will contact them and let them know they’ve won!

Thank you everyone for interacting and spreading Parkour to your friends through Facebook. This is the #1 thing we do through our page, and we’re overjoyed to see everyone participating by critiquing, commenting, liking, sharing what we we post. Keep it up next week for another chance to win!

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!

Week 19 of the 1,000 Interaction Challenge has closed with 630 total interactions. Overall this is a lot of interactions but not enough for the 1,000 mark needed for us to give our free Parkour clothing to our fans.

Ferrari 630

Even though the Take Flight Facebook page has grown steadily over the past 4 months the interaction rate through our page hasn’t. Analysis of this trend had us looking for an explanation. To bring the problem into light, for example in week 8 we had 3,100 fans and experienced 864 interactions. Now in week 19 we have over 6,300 fans but only 630 interactions in the week.

Week 8 was an exceptional week when we had all the fans really working for the 1,000 mark which explains the high interaction total. But it’s still confusing to see a smaller total when we have more than twice the number of fans this week. Unfortunately this isn’t a consequence of fewer posts by us, it’s the cause of a Facebook control which limits how many times our posts show up in feeds! Even though we have 6,300 fans, our posts don’t appear to any more people than when we had 3,100 fans.

Even with more Take Flight fans Facebook controls the impressions and our posts are still seen by relatively the same amount of people. This is discouraging because it doesn’t allow us to share Parkour news, videos, and articles with as many people as we hoped. However we are working on new ways to share and bring this information and inspiration to people through Facebook so stay tuned. And in the meantime we are going to continue our commitment to bringing free Parkour clothing to Traceurs around the world through the 1,000 Interaction Challenge. Sooner or later we’ll make it, so keep interacting and keep spreading the Parkour news through Facebook and beyond!
