How's the MV doing these days? I'm going to have to request a tour the next time I'm down for training or whatnot.

Hey Flo!
Lifes awesome... too much to write here! I just got back from BC 3 days ago from teaching there. Its fun making money doing what you love to do! No complaints.
I remember back in the day when people made fun of me for decision making and wanting to do Parkour fulltime and opening up a training centre and such... har har... =P
anyways!
dBlast totally remember you car, installed stuff on it too! i actually miss installing stuff bigtime. If anyone wants something like an exhaust installed this summer ill do it free haha!! totally serious!
Nos2Go... Don't know what your project ride is but either way you seem to be happy with it so kudos to you!!
Thanks for posting the pics hardkore... i gotta find the ones right before i crashed with the grill and other things installed... i don't like how my old car looks there! ha ha!
Oscar, dunno if i remember you but Heya! anyawys. =P

Hey Danno!
long time no see man... Glad to hear the parkour thing is going well for ya -- To be honest, I don't think anyone really criticized you for taking that move -- it was a great opportunity for you, and it's payed off big time. Most of us could only wish to be so lucky.
And it's not like you went all 'focusben' on us.
any recent parkour work you've done that we should be watching out for?
would your gym be interested in sponsoring the site?

Yeah, didn't think anyone (that mattered) shat on Danno for that one. Congrats on your success, man. You deserve it!
I still remember the one photoshoot we did at the Hamilton waterfront, thanks to the Salty Sailor, when everyone absconded with the rolling staircase and you were up top shooting pics and footage while it was rolling! Classic!
That BBQ was and still is one of my fave FC memories.

haha what did focusben do? .... I think I remember that guy, he went to the states no? or was that another focusben..... ah well.
I just remember this site being a negativity trap! Granted... much of the car scene is, and even when i moved to civics I found the same (probably worse actually) crap there. I guess its a little bit of an internet problem too, everyone loves to throw stuff around on here they'd never say in person. And since the car game is like a 'who can spend more money game' i guess it gets people on their nerves sometimes.
ah well... fun times and i dont regret! the bbqs were so fun, cruise to hamilton awesome (still think i have all that footage on a dv tape), and many good friends here.
writing this from 'work' so a bit rushed.. cheers all

Good to see you're doing well (That Rogers commercial was amazing to look at, even if it scared the crap outta me, thinking "okay when does the injury happen?"
Ah yeah the Hamilton BBQ where I got totally lost on the way to the harbour photoshoot
Now with all the updated gadgest in my Fusion the car tells me to Get Lost

Speak of the parkooooooor devil.
Hey Dan.
It was your fault.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
