Take Flight

Our newest products have just been released in our store! We spent an exceedingly long time bringing these to you as we took extra measures to ensure the quality and versatility of this garment. They are our newest long sleeve shirts which we are calling the PK Thermals.

The PK Thermal is a Parkour authentic long sleeve casual and training garment. Between design and production these weren’t easy to make and it took us over four months to bring this item to our store! With the final product now complete we couldn’t be happier with the result.

To make the PK Thermals we decided on a specially woven 100% cotton fabric made in Peru. With it the thermals provide a contoured fit that will keep you warm while being breathable without constricting movement. To add to the garment we decided on a simple yet bold design consisting of a front chest print made of the “PK” and the Take Flight Flight Man combined into one. In consistency with the simple focus of Parkour and the subsequent concept behind this design, we chose only two colors for the shirt. They are white and black and we used a gray print on both.

All our clothing is made for athletes ; Traceurs specifically. We created our PK Thermals with this same focus. Designed for warmth, breathability, and movement, the initials of Parkour written across the chest add the style necessary to make this shirt both the most versatile and the most authentic Parkour long sleeve ever made. If you are dedicated Traceur and you want a long sleeve, this is the one for you.

Thanks to your efforts the Take Flight page is the fastest growing Parkour fan page on Facebook! With this growing page size we’ve noticed that an increased number of followers are exceptionally dedicated to our page and “like”, comment, and post on it frequently. We have been looking for a way to reach out and reward these dedicated followers, so we put our heads together and devised the 500 Fan Rule.

The 500 Fan Rule is even simpler than the 1,000 Interaction Challenge. Here is how it works:

• Every time we receive 500 new fans we are going to release a $10 off coupon code good for any purchase from our store including Parkour clothing, DVDs, posters and any other products we sell! Right now we have 3,798 fans so we will be releasing a coupon when we reach 4,000 and every increment of 500 fans thereafter (4,500, 5,000, 5,500 etc).
• The coupon code will be good for only one use meaning that the first person to use it will receive the discount and after this the code will no longer work.
• The coupon will be posted in our public feed via our Facebook page as soon as we cross the new 500 increment.

We want to reward our most dedicated fans and followers. The 500 Fan Rule is designed to do just that. At the rate we are growing the first 500 Fan Rule coupon should be released in a day or two so best of luck!

The only thing better than Parkour clothing is free Parkour clothing. That’s why we’ve developed the 1,000 Interaction Challenge. The rules re simple: if Take Flight followers tally 1,000 or more weekly interactions through our fan page through likes and comments we give away free clothing. Sunday night was the first complete week of the contest and we tallied the total interactions through the Take Flight Fan Page. The total was short of the 1,000 mark with 527 total interactions.

Luckily, the 1,000 Interaction Challenge is an ongoing weekly contest invented to help people spread Parkour through Facebook. That means this week is another chance to win. And in order to help our followers reach the 1,000 mark we are going to work even harder to post a higher number of quality Parkour videos, quotes, and Parkour related content on our page this week. Best of luck!

Here is a video with David Belle and some of the guys from PKCali. The footage was filmed on July 17, 2005 when David was in California. The video has some great shots of David doing precision jumps and other various moves.
