ESPN RADIO & THE WFPF

ESPN RADIO & THE WFPFMonday, February 8, 2010

Over the weekend I had the incredible opportunity of being interviewed for ESPN Radio along with WFPF founder David Thompson and my teammate and WFPF member King David. As guests on
“The Southern California Experience,” we were able to share our experiences with parkour, and the ways in which we are trying to break the general public’s perception of it as a wreckless sport.

The segment went so well that we recorded a second segment that will air this weekend as part of the extended interview. It was truly a pleasure meeting LaFern and being guests at the studio located in LA Live, and hope that we will be able to cross paths again in the near future!

THE 52ND ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS...

THE 52ND ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Over the weekend I had the incredible opportunity to work alongside and visit some of the most talented stunt and rigging coordinators in the business. Thanks to my 2nd dad, I was able to see some of the artists I have been wanting to see my entire life...Eminem, Usher, Smokey Robinson, Mary J. Blige, Dave Matthews Band, Black Eyed Peas...Just a few amongst the list of talented singers that blew my mind.

While I was there I ran into so many fellow members of the LXD, including Galen Hooks who was working with the Black Eyed Peas and Bryan Tanaka and Casper who were working with Beyonce alongside several others. I have been blessed to meet such incredible people thus far, it’s a great feeling being able to see each other on other gigs.

Since the Grammy’s were held @ the Staples Center, I had the chance to see my Coca Cola campaign from when I first moved back to LA. They were made exclusively for the LA Live screens that sit across the street from Staples’ front entrance. It was a trip to see it up there after all of this time.

It was an incredible weekend, I wish I could have brought everyone I knew with me to experience it if you love music. 2010 is already seeing some of my dreams come true, can’t wait to see what else is in store.
