Team Farang - TOP TEN GREATEST HITS
It's a bit of a challenge to look back at ten years of our history and pick our ten favorite videos. So I did the only reasonable thing and.... gave up. Here are my favorite videos and I didn't even count how many I ended up with.
THE CITY
our debut video, which introduced Farang's signature cocktail of creative Parkour action with a vagabond lifestyle.
L.E.D. aka Light Emitting Dudes
Prolific filmmaker Frank Sauer approached us we an idea so ridiculous that we could not say now. The shoot was the sweatiest week of my life, because the LED suits could not be washed. Imagine working out wearing the same outfit in tropical Bangkok for a week straight. Thankfully the video is stronger than my memory of my own smell.
BOSS MODE
When we added Pasha to the team we had a bit of an obsession with the "like a boss" meme, which resulted in the most fitting nickname in the history of Parkour. And this video was a big part of creating that legacy.
FLOW GOES to THAILAND
Early on in our journey we got to be featured on the Flow Youtube channel with a 30 minute documentary.
Freerun VS. Skatepark
We always loved pushing Parkour out of its boundaries by shooting in locations that are usually ignored by other Forerunners. When we brought the team to this Skatepark it brought out a whole new flavor in their movement.
TOKYO DRIFT
Turns out there's more to Asia than Bangkok. After a Red Bull project in Japan, Anan and Jason found themselves with 24hrs of free time in the heart of Tokyo. The assignment was clear: Shoot day and night to create one of the most high energy videos in Parkour history.
BIG BANGKOK THEORY
I don't really remember much about the background of making this video, except that the crew was in Thailand and we had just found a bunch of fresh spots to go to. Do you really need more of a reason? I don't think so.
ONCE IS NEVER - Lookbook
Whenever we released a clothing line we wanted to capture the qualities of our product in motion and communicate the lifestyle of the brand. This one was even bigger than usual, because it marked the introduction of our Parkour shoe.
Pasha the Boss
We spent three months in Los Angeles with one goal: Create a video that features ONLY original tricks and captures Pasha's unique style of Parkour. Sadly Kanye West was not very stoked on our video and thus the music is blocked. But it's still up on Facebook.
IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE
Over time Bangkok become somewhat of a second home to many of the team members. This resulted in a wild coming and going at Anan's place spread out over the year. We collected clips and mix-matched them into this compilation.
WE JUMP THE WORLD
When we asked the Parkour community to celebrate our sport by coming out and doing Parkour around the world at the same time, we didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into. Coordinating and editing this video was a mission, but thanks to the Parkour community we made it happen <3
Safety First!
Why don't we wear helmets when we do Parkour. Well, let's just say it would fundamentally change the way we move.
SO FAR SO GREAT
After a stint of regular uploads to our Youtube channel we decided to go back to the big epic edits we were known for.
PARKOUR TV
Ever imagined a world where Parkour determines every aspect of our life? Well, after watching this video not much is left to imagination.
RESURRECTION
The pandemic kept the team apart for longer than it had ever been, which meant we had to make something special for the comeback.
