Take Flight

Today we are going into our 4^th consecutive Fan Wednesday! Over the course of the last three weeks we’ve learned some things, and because of that learning we are now modifying our weekly contest. Here is the new setup and how you can enter and win.

Before…
The Fan Wednesday contest prior to this week was a unique post placed on our Facebook page that was separate from Fan Wednesday posts and entries.

Now…
The Fan Wednesday Contest will be done THROUGHOUT the day, and the winner will simply be the best fan post that day.

Here is how it works:

1. Post your Fan Wednesday posts on our Facebook page. Photo, video, artwork, poem, etc.
2. We will evaluate all the fan posts for creativity, artistry, quality, initial impression, and relevance.
3. The Fan Wednesday post we like the most will win the t-shirt of their choice (winner will be announced on Thursday).

All entries qualify the enterer to win, and multiple entries are accepted. All Parkour and Take Flight related entries are accepted, but specifically we are looking for Take Flight centered content including Take Flight art, photos of you in Take Flight gear, and videos of you in Take Flight gear.

So without future ado, let’s kick off Fan Wednesday. Thank you for your posts and good luck to everyone!

This was a fan entry from De’Andre Liggans. It would have definitely been in the running for the Fan Wednesday Prize. Just a note, the photo says “Parkour” but this would be freerunning :-)

We’re establishing what we hope to be a long lasting tradition: Tuesday & Friday Giveaways.

Since we started, we’ve always given away Parkour clothing through our Facebook page. But now we are going to do it on a very specific and planned basis so our fans don’t miss a thing.

From now on, every Tuesday and Friday night between 6pm-9pm PST we will be doing a giveaway on our Facebook page. Entering the giveaways are as simple as commenting, liking, and/or sharing the giveaways posts we make! Plus we usually give 24 hours to enter which means you don’t even have to be on Facebook during this time to win. If you do win, we’ll contact you and send you the specified prize for absolutely free. Simple as that.

Our fans are VIPs, and we plan to keep it that way. Stay tuned because the first giveaway in our new schedule happens tonight!

Parkour Clothing like this will now be given away twice a week and you know exactly when!

Take Flight now has over 29,500 fans, which means we gained 1,000 new fans and we gave away three Parkour Tees! The 1,000 fan challenge is an on going Parkour clothing giveaway. Every time we get 1,000 new fans on the Take Flight facebook page, we giveaway three FREE Tees! The winners this time around were David Schilling, Lysander Luansing Jr., and Calum Stuart McDermot.

Next time you could win a free Parkour Tee from Take Flight, so be watching for the next 1,000 fans to add us, and be sure to share us with your Traceurs friends. We love giving great deals to our fans, and before we hit our next thousand fans we will crack the 30,000 barrier. What better reason to celebrate! Be sure to subscribe to the blog to find out all the details as soon as they’re released!

The photo contest has come to a close! There was a huge volume of entries that must first be organized and rated by our staff, before being released for the voting. Due to the number of entries this process will take some time. Once we have determined our top 10, they will presented to Traceurs worldwide via our Take Flight facebook album. Be on the lookout the first week of May for announcements and the new album to be added.

From then on, all our fans will be able to vote for their favorite simply by commenting and/or liking the photo on facebook. Voting will only be open for one week, so be sure to get your vote in before the winners are decided. The Fan votes will be weighted to count for 50% of the final decision, and the Take Flight staff votes will account for the other 50%. So no matter which one is our favorite, the fans have the power to sway the vote! Once all the votes are in, the top three will be announced, their Take Flight gift cards awarded, and their pictures will be posted for the world to see.

In the past we had something called the 1,000 Interaction Challenge. Now we are unveiling our 1,000 Fan Challenge. This is another one of our unique Take Flight ways to give away lots of free Parkour clothing. Here is how it works:

• Right now we have 28,500 Facebook fans.
• When we get 1,000 more fans (29,500) we are going to give away 3 free shirts!
• To be entered, you have to be one of the first 20 people to post on our wall the details of which we will announce.
• We will select 3 of the 20 and send them their free clothing!

Hypothetical Example:

1. On March 7, 2011 we reach 29,500 fans. In honor of the giveaway challenge we post this on our page:
2. “We have 1,000 news fans! Be one of the first 20 people to post your favorite David Belle video on our page and you’ll be entered to win one of 3 tee shirts!”
3. 20 fans post a DB video. We select 3 at random and send them their prize!

Simple enough, yeah? The key if you want to win is:

Stay tuned into the Take Flight facebook page daily for updates and to monitor the increase in fans.

The 1,000 Fan Challenge is just another way for us to giveaway free PK apparel. And of course we want you to be excited about Parkour and the growing international Parkour community, and this contest accomplishes that too. We are wising all of our fans the best of luck in this ongoing contest which starts now!

Good luck!

Thanks to you guys we are rolling and giving away more Parkour clothing! The Take Flight Facebook page hasn’t received less than 1,000 interactions in 6 weeks and the streak continues with week 29 and 1,078 Interactions!

This week we are giving away a Parkour Skyline Tee. All you have to do is stay dialed in to our Facebook page for the announcement and we’ll let you know when and what you have to do to win (hint: all you’ll have to do is comment on a post. We like to keep things as simple as possible for our fans. After all, you are fans!)

Win this Parkour Tee this week!
