Follow @AIMParkour |
Free runners move around by running up walls, jumping between buildings, doing backflips down staircases, seeing objects as opportunities not obstacles. 23 year old Ahmed Saricicek and his 19 year old brother Omer started off doing gymnastics training at their local gym, then played basketball before getting involved with Sheffield Parkour. Ahmed and Omer will showcase their amazing acrobatic skills, answer your questions about freerunning and explain the philosophy behind parkours. |

Following our Extreme Mountain Biking demo we'll show a series of the best films from the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival's sell-out Young Adventurers' screening. The speakers and films have been selected mainly with primary school age in mind but we're confident that they will also be enjoyed by older children and adults too. |

Light Line Paraglider Jean Baptiste Chandelier specialises in flying close to the ground, skimming houses and people to give the audience watching the sense that they too are flying. Filmed on the Danish coast, this beautiful and understated short film of Chandelier's unique style is an original take on the sport of paragliding. |

Derived from the German adjective Klug (meaning ?clever?), Red Bull Kluge combines complex machinery patched together with the energy and prowess of world-class athletes, to see what happens when physics gets physical. |

Ski Boys Presented as found footage, the 'Ski Boys' film reels show 'Deek' and his friends on their family farms in the summer of 1971 documenting their everyday adventures on Super 8 Film. Their homemade inventions - including 8ft toboggans fitted with roller-skate wheels, a flying squirrel suit and the 'road' ski - epitomise the 'Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?' spirit. Winner of 2013 Sheffield Adventure Film Festival Best Artistic Film (Bronze). |

So Fine There can't be many adventure sports films featuring a banjo-playing kayaker crooning to a muppet. A loveable, offbeat promo video for Canadian singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, film-maker and expedition kayaker?s catchy tune 'So Fine'. |
