Jis

Well, training on roofs
was something

that we always kind of did.

We just kind of
enjoyed goin' on roofs,

enjoyed movin' around
on roofs explorin',

and doin' that kind of stuff.

It just made me think,
"oh, this is...

"This is what we do."

Jis

roof culture was just a

five-minute YouTube
video really,

wasn't it, at the start?

People responded to it

really, really well,
mainly because they had, like...

People hadn't seen
anything like that.

And the whole, like,
theme and feel of the video

was like a context that parkour

had never really
been seen before.

A renegade style of
movement on rooftops

that almost goes back to
the original style or

the original reason why parkour

had kind of been
created in the first place.

It has always been happening,

since, like, the founders
training up high.

It's always been
a thing in the sport.

Yeah.

We knew it was gonna be
a controversial project

from the start, but, um,

didn't realize how much
it was gonna

sort of cause a stir
in the community

and in the world outside
of parkour as well.

The launch of the clothing
and the kind of

"roof cult” branding
created this very

sort of anti-establishment vibe,

and it was definitely
what they were going for.

And I mean,
they do question everything,

and they are
sort of the... the rebels,

and they were...
They were the ones

in the scene at the time
doing something

very different.

Jis

the ♪roofcult and the
general parkour movement

and the amount of
sort of rooftop stuff going on

has pushed this

more and more
into a cultural trend.

Roof culture is all about
taking the skills

that you have
developed and learned

to the highest point
that you can and

testing yourself.

But the hashtag was
being taken away

from where the guys
intended it to be.

There are people that are just

going on roofs for Instagram,

just to, like, shock people

that have no
experience with height.

It would be arrogant to say
that we're reclaiming it,

but we wanna show
that it's not about posing.

Then the idea of, like,
"maybe we should do

"a roof culture too" emerged,
but mainly as a joke.

Just like, "wouldn't it be funny
if we could do that again?"

The way to step it up
from what we did in the uk

is bigger and better cities.

There wasn't a decision
process and like,

"oh, should we do
roof culture in like,

"south America or Africa
or like...?"

Do you know what I mean?
It was just

Asia was the obvious choice.

You have so
many incredible cities

and so much culture
that is so different

from what we
normally experience.

Jis

it's just fucking
tall buildings.

It's huge,
it's so intense there.

It's the next challenge.

We'd never really
put ourselves up against

any kind of mega-city before.

It all kind of made sense,

and before long,
roof culture Asia was

the target, and the guys were

just heading towards it.

Jis

There was so much up in the air

and so much that
we were unsure of.

Just too many variables
to be able to predict

what we were actually
gonna be able to do.

We didn't even know
if we were gonna be able

to shoot any parkour.

We were just all joking around,

just havin' fun until
we actually land and realize,

"shit, we gotta get this done.

"We've gotta actually
start makin' a film."

What was your
accommodation like?

Oh, fuckin' hell.

Chungking mansion.

Where do I even begin?

You never think about
the worst possible situation,

and then we kind of
got in this lift and

experienced it.

We've actually had to share
some miniature beds

for the entirety of our
two-week stay in Hong Kong.

Like, potentially,
I'll sleep in the hall.

Now, that's not bad.

Every time I think of
chungking mansion now,

it just makes me laugh.

It's the shittest accommodation
I have ever stayed in.

There's the toilet.

Within minutes,
somebody had sat on a bed,

and it had broken,
so the bed was thrown out

into the corridor,
and a mattress was just

layin' on the floor.

Blocked toilets reeking of shit.

Oh, no.

We truly believed that
they'd messed up our booking.

How many people we
have in one room.

It's just like,
"oh, shit, this is the start.

"Like, this is day one."

Home, boys.

I fuckin' hate this place.

My feet smell like dead warthog.

So, after the sort of,

the arrival and
a bit of planning,

we basically had to jump
straight into scouting.

First day was just get out,

climb as many roofs as possible,

and find the most amount
of spots I possibly can.

Um, the plan right now,
first day,

we're just gonna wander
around kowloon

and see if we can get up
onto any of these buildings,

just to get, like,
the lay of the land

and see what we're workin' with.

We have two weeks in each city,
so it was really this...

This race against time
to find enough rooftops

that were gonna offer what we
needed to make this film happen.

Basically trying
to sharpen the knife,

finding the best locations
for filming and the movement.

Nice.

We were constantly splitting
off into these little groups

to explore different areas
of the city.

You go out,
you take photos and videos

on your phone,
and we had this whatsapp group

and we're all putting everything
in there at the end of the day.

Doin' a little video and
voicin' it over, and it...

It proved to be incredibly
effective, actually.

When we came back to WiFi,
everyone could log in

and see the spots of the day.

Whew, finally.

Ah!

Jis

before, we thought
we'd be taking rest days

maybe every, like, three days,

but it was so much harder
to find buildings

than we originally
thought that we just

totally scrapped that plan,

and basically every day
was wrecking,

unless we had stuff to shoot.

Jis

before we check out, dude.

Parkour free run,
boom, boom, boom.

Yeah, yeah.

How do you say it?

- Yeah, alright.
- Yeah.

Success.

Sorry.

Run!

I couldn't even tell you

the amount of roofs we went on

the first few days
out in Hong Kong,

but it involved
a lot of security,

a lot of running away,
a lot of alarms,

and basically getting to
grips with the authorities

and the architecture that
we were gonna be dealin' with

for the next two weeks.

Jis

I can't even fathom

how many times
we're gonna do this

- in this...
- I know, yeah.

We should keep a track.

What? How many roofs we climb?

How many roofs we.

The first alarm we encountered...

We'd had enough success
throughout the day that

we were feeling cocky.

I mean there's a security
camera looking at you, but...

Like the loudest

fucking alarm I have
ever experienced in my life.

Fuckin' hell.

Shit.

Kind of laughing, but kind of

deaf in one ear as well.

Fucking hell.

And that was definitely
the first bout of, like,

"okay, we're gonna...

"We're gonna be
experiencing alarms.

"We're gonna be
experiencing security."

Maybe turn left.

About 50% of the time,
the alarms went off,

but 50% of the time
is always worth a shot.

It could not go off,

and we could find out
what's on this roof,

or it could go off,
and it will split your ears.

That's how loud it is.

Thank you, sir. You're welcome.

Definitely.

Okay, let's go, let's go,
let's go, go.

We need to get in.

There's no alarm, please.

Is it worth lookin' at?

Let's go then.

It's just something
we had to go through.

Like, dealing with the alarms is

part of your daily routine
in the end.

Sorry, sir.

Just takin' some... some photos

of the view.

Oh, my god.

Oh.

Nice.

Yeah! Yes!

Fuck.

Another alarm?

Fuck yeah!

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Woo.
- Well done, Josh.

Well, well.

There's a guy down there
next to our stuff.

What the fuck is he doin'?

Get down, get down.

Yeah. =yeah.

Do you think he
was looking for us?

Yeah.

Where's he gone?

Just right there.

We haven't got away with it yet.

Shit.

3, 2, 1.

There is always
that mindset from

the general public that what
we, and the parkour community,

and storror do is reckless.

But when you see the
behind-the-scenes of it,

it's so calculated.

Every single variable
is taken into

sort of consideration,

and a prime example of this was
we're on this roof,

and benj finds
this run that's this

cat pass pre to a beam that is

30 stories up with a
sheer drop on either side.

Cat pass fly while jump.

- Oh, shit.
- Yeah.

Unless he wants to
stay on that beam and stick it,

he has to then jump to a wall,

and then sort of climb out of...
Out of the risk.

I mean,
he goes through everything.

He checks every surface.

He preps every bit
to the level that he can.

You don't always see
something and say,

"yep, I'll do that,” or

"yep, I can do that.
I'll do that now."

Some things you have to work on

and you have to prepare for,

and this was that thing.

The height, for me,
isn't a factor.

Like, I'm not gonna be
doing something I can't do.

Just need to...

Zone into the cat pass, I think.

As long as he's comfortable,
I just have to

trust his abilities.

The trust is
absolutely fundamental.

They're accepting that
I know my own ability.

So, what they do
from that point onwards

is they just help encourage,

they give me points on stuff

that I'm not necessarily
thinking about.

So, the whole team is almost
prepping the jump with me.

I mean, I just got to
stay calm on the cat pass,

and then it's fine, I think.

It's weird because

the commitment level that
I had going into this trip,

I knew I wanted to push myself.

If I start prepping and
it doesn't feel right,

I'll... 1 won't do it, but,

as I was going
through the stages,

everything felt positive.

That's when...
That's when you commit.

That's the point where you go,

"okay, yeah, there's no reason
I shouldn't be doing this."

- Are you ready?
- Yep.

Okay, go.

Oh, my god.

- Hoo-hoo!
- That's never fun to watch.

That is never fun to watch.

That's the cleanest I did it.

That was sick, benj.

You'll see the one I got, then.

- Yeah.
- Woo-hoo!

- Yes!
- The group morale after

the first few days in Hong Kong
was really good.

We were finding some
awesome locations and

were starting to really
get to grips with

this new city that we'd all been
so excited to come and train at.

Jesus.

Yeah.

You gotta get both
legs simultaneously.

Agh!

Oh, shit.

Fuckin' hell.

I've taken the wrong approach.

Hang on.

Everyone's taking
different ways.

Woo!

That was romantic almost.

We're not criminals.

Job's a good'un.

Me and benj went up this

30 to 40 stories high.

And it was just
three or four strides

that were maybe six foot apart,

but if you fell or
messed up any step,

then it was down to your death.

I've done the same thing
at like five stories before,

but somehow, it's different
when you're at 40 stories.

It... it messes with
your mind a lot more.

There's almost more of
a certainty to it.

'Kay, go on.

Yes.

Yeah, it's a shock.

And those strides were
a massive mental challenge.

Like, you just have to
get past it

and just try and think,

"there is no way that
I'm gonna mess this up.

"I could do this a thousand
times at ground level,

"and I would never mess it up.

"So why would it be
any different here?"

What's through there?

Compact sort of thing.

So as we were getting into

the swing of stuff
in Hong Kong...

It was me, Max, and sacha,

and we got off at a stop
called north point.

We found a tall block of flats,

and they're, like, separated
into loads of different towers.

I spotted a jump from
one tower block to another.

Kind of a fairly small gap,
but it was fuckin' high up,

like, maybe 25 stories
or something.

I ended up doing the jump
absolutely fine.

I remember doing it, like,
three or four times

on sacha's camera

and asking him to film it
on my phone in slow motion.

Go for it.

I posted it on my Instagram

'cause I thought it was
a cool clip.

We wake up the next morning,

it's had 70,000 views
on Instagram

and already started
getting some traction on

blogs and things like this.

I think it took two days to get

up to its full height
of virality.

Crazy, crazy amounts
of views on it.

Within another day or so,
it was on unilad,

on the daily mail,
like, it was getting

picked up everywhere.

I think it must have racked up
over 10 million view in total.

You cold feel the heat
around Hong Kong

the more and more
exposure it got,

the more
million of views it got.

It was like, "surely,
people are aware of this."

You would get people
in the street like,

"oh, you're this guy,” or
"oh, you're storror..."

Some guy on the train
came up to Toby

with Max's jump
on his phone again

and said, "do you think
this is fake or real?"

And Toby just goes,
"ask him for yourself."

I'm... I'm so glad
and I'm so fortunate

to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you, man.

Weird, fuckin' weird.

He's got a video
up on his phone,

and it's me,
but he doesn't believe it.

- You?
- Yeah, that's me.

And so, most people in
Hong Kong had seen the video,

including all the police force,
of course, because it's illegal.

It was a hard one for us
because north point had

this great abundance of rooftop
spots and locations but...

The security and the police
had sort of caught on

to the fact that we were there.

Because obviously
it's their job, basically, to

stop us doin' what we're doin'.

So, we sort of had to
up our game further.

We still got quite a way to go.
Maybe halfway or something.

We'll go out there.

Jis

Job's a fucking good'un.

Yes!

We're gonna have to get down
from here quick I think.

- Yeah.
- People in those escalators

- are spotting us like...
- Yeah, yeah.

Fuck me.

Yeah!

Sick.

Alright, police down there.

They were there already,
though, right?

Gettin' your head
round the heights,

that early on and at
that height was hard.

I can actually get up.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Should I pass your bag?
- Yeah, pass it.

See those...
See those pipes there?

Oh, my god.

Sacha, we've been spotted.

Jis

no way, whoa.

Who's that?

It's official...

What?

Cool, let's get the fuck down.

Jis

Quick, quick, quick.

Fucking get out of there.

Do you know what time it is?

It's, uh, 4:30.

Nice one. Thank you very much.

Straight out the front door.
That's how we do.

That was ridiculous.

Me and Toby just arrived
back from this sick mission.

She even showed me
the video and I'm like,

"wow, that's crazy."

We met the other guys at

the apple store where
we were supposed to be meeting,

and, um, they were having
photos taken with them.

What is this?

Sure, yeah, no problem.

Next, please.

Seriously, I'm baffled.

Oh, my god.

And so we
asked a few of them, like,

"do you know who we are
and what we do?"

And they're like, "yeah, yeah,
you do parkour, right?

"You were on unilab."

This is the strangest
thing that's ever happened.

It almost felt like

everyone had seen the video.

It was a strange experience.

Like, if something happens
in Hong Kong,

it feels like everyone
knows about it.

Jis

It's raining season in Asia,
so that means

it rains quite often.

We were ready to shoot our first
like, proper action sequence.

Like, just got my bag packed,
everything.

Look out the window.
It's raining.

I think that's gonna happen
more than once in this trip.

So, after I post the clip online
and it went viral,

Max wanted to go back
and use that jump in a run.

We decided
it would be a good idea

to try and go back and

try and film it with
more angles because

obviously, so many people
had liked the jump.

I'm sure at least one person
in this, like,

apartment block
has seen the video.

And if they have,
they would tell security.

And by then,
north point was a hot area.

Some people were gonna
shoot it from the floor,

some people were gonna
shoot it from the roof.

It's... it's startin' to spit.

Everyone's in position,
everyone's ready.

If it rains right now,
that's really fuckin' shit.

Fuckin' rain.
That's gonna fuck them up.

Jis

while we were seeing
if the rain would pass,

we caught the security guard
looking through the bushes,

so maybe they have seen
the video and they're on it.

We went away for half an hour
and waited for it to dry up,

dry up in half an hour?
That's just fuckin' annoying.

And we've got everyone set up
and this has happened.

Did they get inside?

Oh, well, I don't know.

They're... they're maybe
in the lift right now

like, thinking, like, "oh,
we'll come up to dry weather.”

You cannot sit here.

- Yeah, we got it.
- Okay. Thank you.

It's now dried up,

and we're gonna go
for the second take.

As we got to the lift,
we were suddenly confronted by

a huge number of
security guards.

We were just like,
"sorry, we're just

"visiting our friend."
And they're like,

"what's your friend's name?"
And I was like,

"uh... Scott."

It, like, messed that up.

It was very obvious that
they'd seen the viral clip.

Police.

We get out of there
as quickly as possible.

That's a complete change from
last time we went up so...

They've definitely seen
the video.

They've seen the video.

We're now also being followed

by the security guard
at the place.

Yeah, he's still following.

We do a good 3-2-1,
I drop my bottle of water,

do up my bag, and
we would just start sprinting.

So we ran off,
and we've now lost him, I think.

Gotta meet back up
with the others.

There was four of us waiting

around the corner from the jump,

while the other team were
going there and filming it.

At one stage, I glanced over
and I thought I saw Ryan

a couple hundred meters away,
and I was like,

"oh, maybe that's Ryan."
So I ran over there

and couldn't see him,

but I looked left
and saw this guy

who was really looking at me,

and then was aware that
he was following me.

And I sat down and I was like,

“I think there's a
policeman following me,"

and we kind of looked...

And the police started
walking towards us,

and we thought,
"no way could that be for us."

Like, I guess we're all
wearing black,

but no way would they know
that we're in any way

connected to that jump.

He started asking questions and
started getting on the radio...

"Have you been on roofs?
What are you doing?"

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And we're all kind of denying it

until the guy then
pulls out his phone

and scrolls down the
stored Instagram feed...

And saw a picture of Josh,

so that he just walked up
to Josh and said, "look."

"This is you.
Stop telling lies."

To which, of course,
Josh couldn't, like, deny it.

It was just a photo of him
on his phone.

All of us were like, "oh, shit."

There are just so aware
of what we're doing.

They just fully know.

Jis

we just got let go.

Um, they have
all of our details.

They were literally pulling
up numerous Instagram feeds.

Um, they know where
we're staying.

Fuck!

- They know where we're stayin'?
- Fuckin' hell, it's so shit.

The store is uh,
going on a roof,

shooting for a few hours,
editing photos,

and putting them
online straight away,

and it's a trail of
where we have been

and where we might go again.

The policeman got out his phone

and then was scrolling
down a news article

with just Max. What?

So, what now, like,

the next week is gonna
be so hard to film anything.

The police literally were
following us on social media,

like, they were so aware
of our presence.

They know who we are,
what we're doing,

all of our names...

Uploading this kind of stuff
to social media

while we're still in Hong Kong
was a really bad idea.

We decided that night
that the best thing to do

would be just to black out
all our social media,

just totally go underground

until we finish all the filming
in Hong Kong,

and then we can bring it
all back up again.

They knew we were like,
professional free runners,

and like, we're here
to make a film and stuff.

Jis

but perhaps the biggest

agent of change
is your cell phone.

After all, a picture
speaks a thousand words,

but one viral video
can mean the difference

between action an non-action.

So many police.

- So many police.
- So now we're put in the

weird position of, like,
we have five days left.

We have to shoot
a shitload more,

and we have to carry on.

We have to go on.

What the fuck?

Jis

everything is against you,
everything.

The time, security, the weather,

the access to the building,
everything is against you.

There's nothing that
goes your way,

and to be able to get
through all of those obstacles

and then find the line,

find something that
you're happy with,

is so fucking hard...
I can't explain.

It's the hardest project I've
ever, ever been involved in.

Hmm. Yeah.

Jis

yo!

Ooh!

It's a fun challenge sometimes,

and there's a lot of problem
solving that goes into it.

That's how you get
past a coded door,

ladies and gentlemen.

You get Ryan lovejoy
with a broomstick.

Jis

You have to jump at the bottom,
let's do this.

Jis

The last three, four days of
Hong Kong was intense.

Like, we had a lot
of filming to do,

and we had a lot of ground
to make up from

all the previous wrecking.

One of the first spots we
actually found was on

top of our accommodation.

We kind of noticed that
there was a gap there,

like between these two roofs,
and it did look like,

worryingly possible.

It's big. It's 17 stories high,

it's 16 foot across.

Callum came up and looked at it
and was like,

"actually,
I think I can do that."

I look at this jump
and I'm thinking,

"surely not, Callum.

"You know that, right?
You can't make that.”

If I work the run-up out
and eliminate any

variables and
things that can go wrong,

then I know it's something
that would be possible.

Tomorrow,
we'll have a meeting, right?

Work it all out,
and then I think we start here.

So, first thing in the morning,
we said to Callum, like,

"you ready,
you wanna do this jump?"

And he was up for it.

We all went up there,

got the drone,
got all the cameras...

Jis

So Callum's about to do
this jump here.

Taking off here,
running along here,

and doing this gap.

Man, if he does it,
that'd be one of the fuckin"

craziest things I've
ever seen in my life.

Josh is gettin' his angle.

This is gonna be fucked, man.

And just like that,

it'd be the nastiest
thing anyone's ever done.

He's gone fuckin'
absolutely mental.

The death drop this side,
which is kind of daunting,

so you just gotta
block everything out.

With Callum, he is
such a prestigious and

professional athlete
that I do have a

huge amount of
confidence in him.

How you feelin'?

Uh, pretty good about it,
I just need to...

To be sure about the
run-up and the take off.

As soon as I'm on that wall,
it's some good speed.

Yeah.

Callum is a monster at moving.

Everything he does is
drilled and drilled and drilled,

and you know he's put in
more training than anyone,

and it shows.

Everything in my body
is screaming "no",

but I know that he is
a confident guy,

and his skill set is at a level
where he can accomplish

that sort of movement
at that height.

The jump measures out at 16,
but when I look at it like this,

it looks fucking massive,

and I think it's just 'cause
of that drop down there.

Every jump someone's gonna do,
no matter what the risk, really,

or anything like that,
when you can tell

they're in that
mental preparation state,

you let them be.

The closer he's getting to

actually going for it
the first time,

the scarder I got.

All good?

He starts gettin' more and more
ready for the jump,

and as soon as he's about to go,

security come out.

By the time I decided, like,
it's happening now,

then there was no way
that were were gonna

let the security stop us.

- This way.
- Why?

Yeah, go for it, Callum.

Okay, 3, 2, 1.

Jis

Yes.

My boy, Callum! Woo-hoo!

And everyone was pumped,
everyone was really happy

at the fact that he'd just
conquered this ridiculous gap.

That is maybe one of the
craziest things

I've ever seen in my life.

Fucking hell.

That was so mental.

I can't really convey
how epic it was

in words, to be honest.

It just doesn't really
do it justice at all.

The security guard's going mad,
and we're like,

"okay, okay, we'll leave,
we'll leave,” but then...

Callum's like,
"gotta do it again.

"Not happy with the landing.”
so he gets back into position...

Which angle you filming from?

Clear this way, clear this way.

Okay, yeah.

Benj and drew, I think,
are like trying to

talk to the guy
to calm him down,

but he's really, really
not happy about it.

- Tell me when you're going.
- Yeah, okay, yeah, I will.

Running now.

Jis

yeah!

Yeah, we'll get down,
we'll get down.

Go straight into our apartment,
we all hide in one room.

Just congratulating Callum,
watching the footage.

Yeah!

No!

Yeah!

Sorry, mate. Sorry, mate.

I basically made sure
Callum was safe

and then got the fuck
out of there.

And I went across the road
and I sat at Starbucks,

and the whole situation had got
so stressful so quickly

with the security and
the aggression,

I... 1 didn't know whether or not

I could do five more
weeks of this,

and it fully kind of shit me up.

It... yeah, it was bizarre,
and while this was going on,

I was getting these whatsapp
messages going,

"police are outside the room."

Hide the sd cards.

So, so we're all in here
because the policeman called,

and they're lookin' for us
in this tower block.

And the guys are basically
communicating through whatsapp

because the police are on
the other side of their door

knocking away...

And the moment we heard
them knock on the door

next door to ours and
move on from our door...

We just thought,
"yeah, now's the time.

"We have to get out of this."

Jis

and it was a... yeah,
a very, very stressful day,

but then, you, you...
I got back in the evening,

and there's...
There is that constant drive

to just push through it,
and the general group mentality

is always very, very driven.

And if there is something
that they can question,

they will question it.

And if it stands in their way
of them being creative,

or breaking a jump,
or doing something that is

gonna kind of push
them to a new level,

that is what they would do,
and that's what they do best.

It is why storror are as
successful as they are,

because they don't let

a challenge
get the better of them.

Jis

Jis

I could have
stayed in Hong Kong longer,

but at the same time,
I feel like we had completed it.

Hi.

We were fully into the
swing of stuff and

ready to, like, get to
the next destination

and get our teeth sunk into,
like, the next city.

30-meter gap.

Don't tell Tokyo we're comin'.
Fuck.

This way, please.

It's not recording.

So we a... we arrive in Tokyo,

and we get on this train,

and... and fuckin' hell,
it took a long time.

When we finally get
to our area...

We'd done like a total of like,

12 hours traveling or something,

so all of us were pretty sick of

having our big, heavy bags
and just wanting to like,

sort of get changed,
have a shower, and go to sleep.

And we eventually find
what we think is our building,

but we weren't certain
at this stage.

We had to look for this
black box with a key in it.

You just have to find a key to
get into your room, that's it.

What time is it, 2 am?

- 2:30.
- 2:30.

We're in Tokyo
fucking lost as shit,

I have no idea where
we're sleeping tonight,

and I'm really tired.

The address we've got isn't...
Doesn't mean anything,

so we're fucking stuck
and lost in Tokyo.

And a policeman walks up
on his bike,

and we're like,
"oh, is this just your friendly

"neighborhood sort of Bobby
comin' along to help us out?"

And it's... it's not.

There's been a legitimate
noise complaint from someone

complaining about us just...

Being on the street and talking.

Where are we sleeping tonight?

And then, there's another
noise complaint comes through,

and this phone gets passed
over to Toby.

Are we under arrest?

Okay, all good.
Alright, no problem.

Didn't realize that.

Yeah, street.

I ended up on the phone with
some police chief woman

who said there'd been
two noise complaints.

And we actually haven't been

making any noise at all,
surprisingly enough.

We can't find our way
to this building.

Woman won't reply,

so how we gotta go find
a roof to sleep on.

Woo-hoo!

I love Tokyo so far.

That already was like,
"oh, okay, like,

"that's... is that just this area?
Are we in a posh area?"

Like, it felt relatively nice,

or is that just Tokyo?

Is that what we're about to
have to encounter?

Alright, where we goin' how?

Got to about 3 in the morning,

still couldn't find this
"black box"

where the key was meant to be.

I went into a shop, familymart,
across the road,

got myself a nice little
fizzy pineapple juice.

Turned out to be 10% alcohol,
got a bit smashed,

um, and then we ended up
sleeping on a roof that night.

Got in the lift to
the top of the roof

out of a fire exit and all just

laid on our bags and
fell asleep, straight up.

Woke up the next day
swelteringly hot.

And we didn't
get into our apartment

until the afternoon
of the next day.

This is our Japanese apartment.

Classic slider doors
we got goin' on.

We got four in this room.

More classic sliding doors,
see that, Callum?

Couch sofa.

The culture in Japan

is so, so different from
what we're used to at home

and what we're used to
in Hong Kong.

To, like, the uk and Europe,
it is literally polar opposite.

It's like Las Vegas,
but for nerds.

Kind of freaked out by, like,
their mannerisms.

Like, they're all bowing at me
and, like, they...

They wanna make themselves
really small,

and I don't really
understand it.

Jis

then you get the...
The whole anime thing,

which is massive out there.

And it is just the most bizarre
place I've been, I think.

It's always nice to go somewhere
that you haven't been before

and experience
a different country

after two weeks
in the same place.

So the first couple
of days was sort of,

again getting to grip with the...
Of the area of the country,

goin' to familymart
and gettin' some

different food for a change.

You know, it's just like,
fun, I guess.

You alright, love?
=lt looks like vomit.

Everything is fish-flavored.

That's all I've got to say.

I'd like to think
that there is no risk.

I'd like to think
we get to a point

where we're relying
solely on our skill

and relying on a certainty
that we are going to make it,

and there is gonna be no other
variable other than success.

Jis

our time in Hong Kong
definitely showed us

how important
ground training is,

because you need...

You need to know yourself
at ground level

before you take anything
up high.

You're never gonna
look at a roof gap

that is higher
than a story and go,

"there's a chance
I might not make that,"

because if there is a chance,

then that chance exists,
and then you could die.

Like, it's...
It's as simple as that.

Jis

right now,
we're just having a little

training session at

our undercover spot
'cause it just

hacked it down with rain.

Just kind of, sort of
ko'd our day

in terms of actually being
able to train anywhere decent.

This place is
pretty cool, though, so, yeah.

Just havin' a little session
with the locals, really.

We'd already prepared
to meet up with some locals,

takuya and Masaru
and a few others,

just to utilize some of
Tokyo's incredible spots

and to just have a break
from training at height.

Jis

hey!

Nice, man.

Nice.

All these big jumps at height
would not exist

without the ten years'
experience at ground level.

What a lot
of people don't really

understand when they see
people doin' parkour is that

they just see these guys
in this "extreme case"

runnin' and jumpin' from
buildings, blah, blah, blah.

Yes.

But people don't realize
the amount of effort

that's gone into being able to
do these kind of amazing feats.

You think about any other, like,
athletic sport or discipline,

you see all these athletes
trainin' behind the scenes,

and, almost,
our ground training is that,

if you know what I mean.
It's that buildup to

then doin' the stuff at height.

Whoa!

Triple back down.

It looks so scary,
I can't take it.

Yes!

It's always nice
to go to a new city

and see what people have done,

and takuya's like,
"oh, so-and-so's tried this."

You know,
"oh, that's really cool."

And then, you try
some of your own stuff,

and it's basically like
a parkour tour.

It was a big relief to actually
train at some ground spots

after Hong Kong where
everything was like,

40 stories high.

Jis

it's so, like,
"ah, I've gotta do it now."

Yeah. Woo!

Jis

Guess who started film too late?

- Me!
- You, bro.

Callum, Callum, Callum!
Quick, it's good, quick.

- Yeah!
- Oh!

Okay.

Oh, that was...

Ha-ha!

Sorry, guys.

No filming. Okay, sorry.

Stop, stop it. Ninja warrior!

We get less trouble on the roof.

Jis

see ya later.

That's pretty difficult.

Ah, fuck!

The audience is becoming
quite amusing.

You have to look over there.

Go on, giles!

Pressure, pressure.

Oh!

In order to do
this kind of stuff,

in order to, like, develop
your skills to that level,

you have to have discipline,

and that's what this section
of the film is all about,

is... is showing that you can't
just do difficult stuff

without having preparation,

without years of
discipline and training

in order to develop your
physical skills to the level

where you can perform on
that stage of life or death.

Any free runner and traceur
starts from the ground up.

It is not all about

high rooftop stuff, like...

Pushing yourself
at ground level is...

Is the absolute most
important part of parkour.

Oh, my god.
It could actually happen.

Oh, my lord.

What the fuck?

That's sort of the
beauty in ground training

is that you can really find out

what your body is
physically capable of,

and not really have to
worry about

pushing through those
mental barriers

that you have to have at height.

Jis

Yes!

Yeah!

The amount of tries it took me,

I'd never commit to on a rooftop

because, you know,
you mess up once up there,

and you aren't training
ever again.

You mess up ten times
on ground level,

and you can mess up
fen times more.

It doesn't matter.

Jis

that was fucked up!

You're invading my privacy.

Jis

See ya later, Max.

Jis

At ground level,

there's the opportunity for
the guys to push themselves

a lot harder
and test themselves.

Um, training on rooftops is
not about testing your limits.

It's about proving
your capability,

and it's kind of like
a celebration of

all the hours spent
training on ground

and your accomplishments

and the things that
you already can do.

It's very important
if you're watching this and

feel like you should be
pushing yourself

at crazy heights before
you're ready because

eventually people
will hurt themselves,

and it's not something
we would encourage at all.

So when you get down
to the ground training,

that's... that's where you
really push these limits,

and you progress physically.

Something that might

feel, like, impossible
from the start,

like, you're terrified of it,

but if you keep
working towards it,

like, gettin' rid of these
mental barriers,

through, like, just preparation,

then this is just feeling...

I'm feeling better
about this already.

It's really feeling possible.

Jis

oh!

That was beautiful.

One-punch man?

One-punch man!

Jis

Uh, the spots
in Tokyo were great.

I really wanna go back
there at some point

'cause we didn't actually go
to, like, some of the best ones.

I was like, almost like
a kid in a candy store

waitin' to go on these rooftops,

which we hadn't really
explored properly yet.

So, I was really, like...
I was enjoying it,

but I was really like,
"ll wanna go on the rooftops

"and see what they're like.
I wanna see what

"Tokyo has to offer,
in that sense.”

So, obviously, after two weeks
of solid practice in Hong Kong,

we'd realized that scouting
was ridiculously important.

So on our first proper
day of scouting,

we leave our apartment,
and while Josh is waiting,

he's... he starts swinging
around this pole.

Um, just swinging around it
and landing back on the step.

And the pole literally came
out from the floor

and went towards the ground.

I literally managed
to just catch it

before it hit the ground.

And we were like, "oh, shit,
Josh, you broke a post!”

And we laid it out on the floor
and continued down the road.

Very quiet area, no one's about,

but we're walkin' down the road,
and within a minute...

Crazy, this police car comes up,

little "woo!"
Siren on, lights flash.

The guys had just
crossed the road when

the green man wasn't on,

and I thought it might
be for jaywalking, but then...

No way. No way!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, look, look.

He's describing it.

Yeah, he's describing it.

But how would he be...?

Yeah, it is.

Not ideal.

Josh was swingin' around
on some post,

and it snapped off 'cause
it was rusty at the bottom.

And someone called
the police instantly.

- England!
- England, yeah.

They were like,
"oh, were you drinking?"

They wanted to know
why we were here,

what we were doing.

Uh, the police numbers
have doubled maybe?

Look at this.

Oh, sorry.

And then I had to kinda, like,
you know, really be apologetic,

didn't mean to.

Oh, I mean, yeah.

He didn't do anything wrong.
It's fucking crazy how, like,

one person called the police,
and now there's like...

This is gonna be the biggest
challenge in Tokyo, for sure,

just like, trying to evade
the police.

They don't take
their shit lightly.

They weren't angry
about the pole.

They understood eventually
that it was a mistake.

They could see that
it was rusty.

But the police have to play
by the book out there.

We were thinking at this point,
if it's like this right now,

then what's it gonna be like
for the rest of the trip?

How long will you stay in Japan?

- Two weeks. Yeah.
- Two weeks?

We're gonna be on so many
rooftops you wouldn't believe,

and from that moment on,

we knew we were
gonna be in trouble.

A rainy, wrecky day in Tokyo.

I'm up here with drew
gettin' some photos.

And, uh, yeah.

Every single roof is
so, so different,

so it should be quite
interesting to, uh,

start tryin' to find actual
parkour lines.

I mean...

It looks like there's
fucking loads.

Jis

first day scouting in Tokyo.

Me and Max climbing this
little tower thing over here.

Oh! There's drew and
Toby over there. Sick.

Just spotted the guys.

Jis

we might've just been hustled.

Not good.

Like, we...

We've just started
scouting in Tokyo.

First roof we've come on,

police car stops
outside down there,

but we don't think
it was for us.

But now, there's two police cars

driving up and down the road
outside our building.

The siren's on.

But, I don't think
they're for us.

Or the don't know
how to get to us.

- Either way, we should go.
- Let's go.

Let's go.

- Let's go!
- Let's go, let's go.

Jis

Job's a good'un.

Too late, boys.

After the first day of
scouting in Tokyo,

we were...

Pretty apprehensive as to
what we were actually

gonna be able to shoot.
The architecture was so

erratic, there was no
pattern to the city at all.

The fuck? I don't have
a clue where it's goin'.

It looks kinda, like,
similar in all directions.

What about this white one here?

Yeah?

Maybe.

You can look down a street,

and every single
building is different.

And so the roof will be
totally different

on this one to the next.

So that makes it really
difficult because you can't

judge how good
a roof it's gonna be

from the bottom.

You'll be like,
"oh, that looks so good."

It's a lot lower of a level
and not as high.

You look at it from the
ground and be like,

"well, it looks really good,
I wanna go on that."

There's a lot of eyes on us,

so try not to look too...
Mental.

Yeah, across there's
loads of people

in the stairway
in that building.

So my immediate impressions

after the first couple
of scouts were like,

"shit, this is...
This is a mess."

Almost every single
building is different.

You get these high-rise
buildings next to

three-story buildings.

And then every single one is
just cluttered with steel beams,

pipes, and
air conditioning units.

No, we've been on, like,
three or four now,

and every building seems
to be really cluttered.

Like, there's no open space.

There's no room for run-up
or, like, movement.

But, um, maybe we just
need to get used to it

or find something different.

Jis

90% of the stuff is unsafe,
so you can't use it,

and it's really,
really frustrating

and really hard to scout a line

through all of that
unsafe clutter.

You could get up so many more

buildings a day, but,

so many more buildings a day
were just awful.

If anything,
we'd have to change up

our approach
and style completely.

Scouting is tough

as it is in a good environment,
but Tokyo was something else.

Like, it was just days and days
of failure, essentially.

Get up at 8 every day,

split up, go walk around
for fuckin' hours,

walk up hundreds
of flights of stairs,

and basically find nothing.

This is the most fucked
I've been in all of my training,

training career.

My eyes are blurry with sweat.

That was when the kind of

morale started to drop,

and the motivation
started to dwindle

'cause it did just start
to feel like a job.

We knew what style of movement

we wanted to find
on these buildings,

and it just... initially,
it wasn't coming together.

We've heard from other traceurs
that rooftopping in Tokyo

was hard and you would spend
time in jail if you get caught.

So, we already knew that
was a thing

before we had even
left for the whole trip.

Scrub that brush out.

You know, that's actually made

quite a lot of
difference right there.

They've got no chill.

Shit.

Maybe it is us because we are

up on these apartments
that we didn't even notice.

Watch it, watch it.

Fuck, man.

Yeah, they're coming
back around.

Oh, shit, boys.

There was a main group
who got in the lift,

and then me and Toby
had to go down the stairs

'cause there wasn't enough
room in the lift.

Look, they're just there.

The police are just there.
So if we go downstairs...

Toby then takes the gopro,

and I just went, "fuck it,
I'm just gonna go

"across this way and go down."

I promise you.

Just hold it.

They know that
we're on this roof.

Yeah.

Wait, wait, hold on right there.

'Cause if they drive past.

Nah, nah, keep going.
Keep going.

Fuckin' hell.

There's two police cars
outside the front.

Literally gettin' ready to
sprint just like this.

Fuckin' here we go.

By the skin of our teeth.
They were...

They were outside the front,
and we walked out the front.

And they saw us and everything.

I looked behind and there
was two with their lights on.

They just didn't follow us.

What do you reckon?

Josh and Toby got caught.
Yes or no?

Yeah.

Like, we were very jammy to
get away from that, I think.

Yeah, I'm in a
familymart right now,

and the police are
literally coming past

every maybe 30
seconds, I don't know.

- Fuck.
- I'm like,

up, coming up the other
way to where you went.

We're probably gonna
get further away

'cause that sounds
fuckin' sketchy.

Do you know where Josh is
or did you guys split up?

Oh, Josh might be caught.

I just spoke
to the others just now.

They somehow escaped by
just walking past them.

I honestly have no idea.

Police on bikes goin' past
every 30 seconds or something

from "round the back.

Tryin' to find you
and you're just chillin'

- in familymart.
- Where the fuck have they gone?

We just literally walked
out the front door.

Josh might be caught though.
He's not been on WiFi yet,

so he could well be caught.

And I hear, like,

five or six police
officers go past,

and I'm like, "shit, that
must mean they must be gone."

So I turn vault this wall
and drop down, bam,

and then walk out of
this little car park.

And I see this police car
on the left

and then two
police officers there.

I'm, like, just trying to
casually walk away, and then...

One of them just grabs me on

the shoulder,
and I was just like...

I just got put against the wall,

and then I'm
literally surrounded

by so many police officers,
and I'm just like, "oh, god,"

like, tryin' to get
my point across,

but obviously, there's a
language barrier,

so I still had to get taken
back to the police station.

They were just like,
mockin' me 'cause I was english,

like, laughin' at me.

And then they said, "we have
to take you back to your house

"and get your passport.”

So I was like,
"okay, go on, then."

And then I had to write
an apology letter,

which was quite weird.

And then they let me go.

When we got stuck into it

in the first few days,
we noticed that

everybody kind of plays
for the same team in Japan.

So it's like,
if a Japanese person sees us

on another
Japanese person's roof,

they'll, like,
wanna call the police

and stop it happening because
they look after their neighbor,

um, but just not when you're
trying to film roof culture.

As soon as we, um,
leave tamagotchi station...

What was it, actually?
Tam... tamachi or something.

As soon as we left
tamachi station...

Tamachi?

As soon as we left
this train station,

we find this roof.

So we just, like,
casually walk up,

and we're up there
for 15 minutes

trying to get runs,
and suddenly...

Should we get down or stay here?

I don't know,
I feel like there's no point

in splittin' up from the others.

Yeah, let's go.

Josh, like, shouts over,
and he's like,

"police, police are here.
Police."

And then Callum
starts saying like,

"oh, there's police here
as well, police here."

So I carry on goin'
down the stairs,

jump across to another roof,
and then notice that

there's, like, maybe 10, 15
police on this roof.

All with that batons out,
all shouting.

We're just like, "whoa,

"we have not
experienced this before."

And then, like, ten police
come and swarm me,

and this, like,
one translator guy.

They eventually grab
us all one by one.

They've got Josh by the arm,

and we all meet
up at the bottom.

We're all just looking
at each other like,

"what the hell is going on?"

Like, this is such an
overreaction.

I was on the phone talking
to a translator.

He's basically saying we need to
go back to the police station,

and Callum"s saying,
"can't we just

"give 'em our details,
and that's fine?"

Jis

Fucking hell.

Like, Josh said,
"oh, there's police here.”

And then they appeared
from literally everywhere,

searched all our stuff,
took everything out,

like, interviewed us
all separately.

Then we had to drive back

to get our passports
to the thing,

check all our details
like blood type,

hair color, shoe size,
height, everything.

If they thought we
were taking photos,

we would have been fucked.

So they don't need to lock?

Everyone obeys the law.

Everyone plays on the same team.

- Yeah, exactly.
- Like, they really do.

Me, drew, sacha, and Josh
were all pretty shook up

by the whole scenario.

If it's that serious here,
if it's that tight,

it's that illegal, then,

what are the chances of us
carrying on, like...?

We were pretty certain that
we weren't gonna do anymore

roof stuff that day
because we thought

that would just be
straight up stupid.

But then later on
in the afternoon,

we decided that there
is no difference between

being caught today or
being caught tomorrow.

We have to make
this film happen.

We've got a job to do.
We're here to do this.

If it means being arrested again
or a few more times,

then fine, like,
it's gotta be done.

Jis

Jis

Jis

When I'm about
to take off for a jump,

I'm completely calm.

Nothing matters,
nothing changes midair.

You have this one job,
and you execute it.

- There you go.
- That was good.

'Course there's risks, right?

Yeah, that's... that's obvious.

But we're not taking
that leap of faith

that everyone thinks that it is.

It's so calculated,

you break everything down
into chunks.

This is actually
sort of the takeoff.

Seems solid.

And now benj is just over there
testing the landing,

and that's good, I reckon.
Give it a go.

And how 'bout the flat bench?

First jump of the day.

That's the one. =nice.

All I have in this
whole entire world

is this one job,

and it's to do this move.

And there's nothing else.
There really...

It's so cliché to say,

but there really
is nothing else.

Jis

Towards the end of Tokyo,

when we're wrappin' up
all our footage,

I was like, "two weeks here,
I'm good to move on,

"and I'm lookin' forward
to Seoul

"and the last phase,
phase three, of the trip."

I was so happy to
be leaving Tokyo.

I think, if we had
another week in Tokyo,

I think I would have pulled
my hair out of stress.

Even though I loved Japan,
and I loved Tokyo as a city,

um, shooting the film,
it was very challenging

with the authority.

Getting on that plane and
heading over to Seoul was

a huge kind of sigh of relief.

Fresh slate of just like,

"this is now my
experience of Seoul.

"What's it gonna be like?"

Just speak.

Microphone check, 1, 2,
who is this?

Perfect, okay.

Give me a clap
in front of your face.

3, 2, 1.

Yeah.

It's like doin' a fuckin'
episode of "giles compiles”.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I find pissing in a bottle
so hard.

Ooh!

Now I'm gonna glisten.

Oppan gangnam style.

I say "fuck" too much.

What we tried to
really do in Seoul

is to kind of really
switch it up.

Hey there.

Gay!

Fuck.

Jis

I didn't really
know what to expect

when I came to Seoul at all.

Um, I mean giles told me
a pack of lies.

He told me that the
train windows frosted up

when they went past skyscrapers

and that there's flying cars
and shit like that,

and obviously, I believed that.

Really nestled in the
mountains, isn't it?

Yeah, it's really...

It's really
nestled in the mountains.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Yeah!

Within the first few days,
I kind of established that

the people of Seoul
are very nice.

Thank you.

People were stopping and

asking us questions
in the street and laughing.

It seemed like,
quite like a friendly vibe.

Ooh!

Toby said it would be 100% rain

in half an hour.

I'd just like to say a
huge shout out to 7-Eleven

because without 7-Eleven,
this trip would be impossible.

Where are you from? - England.

Do you like the song?

Yeah, you like the song?

Yeah, I like the song.

So I think... wait, was this

the first day scouting?

We, uh... me, Max, and drew...

On the tube, right.

"Okay, we'll go to gangnam.”

Like, that's a popular
place in Seoul.

Um... turned up,

walked two minutes
down the road, and boom!

There's this jump.

I can remember us

looking at it
for the first time.

The gap goes all the way
down to the floor,

and it's just that visible feat

between that building
and that building.

Jis

so we had to go in this,
like, clothing store,

through the changing rooms
to this fire exit,

walk up a few sets,
get out the lift

to the top story and then

out into their smoking area,

climb up a ladder and
get on top of the roof

to see what the
takeoff was like.

And it was perfect.

The only problem
with this gap was

how slippery the run-up was.

The takeoff was like
shiny metal.

You put your foot on the ground,
it would slip like that.

So I was, like, thinkin'
about that over and over again,

just, like, me slipping,

me falling and
not falling a story,

but now I'm falling 20 stories.

So we tried spitting
on our shoes

and taking off all the dust.

Still slippery.

So that was, like,
the main issue.

I just kept on thinking,
"I can't do this jump

"without a better takeoff."

What we decided to do was

something we actually
have never done before.

- Oh, yeah, that's perfect.
- Two piece, three piece?

Two, maybe three.

- How sticky?
- Is it sticky?

- Okay.
- Like, chh, sticky?

- Okay.
- Basically, I'm gonna do

a really big roof jump,

and the takeoff's
really slippery,

so we need tape
that's really grippy.

Is that alright?

3,000 won. 10,000 won.

Gotta do it now.

Let's go.

The guys got WiFi and, um,

pretty much summoned
the whole team

to come and film this gap.

At one stage, we were
on different sides of the city,

and we got this whatsapp
message saying, like,

"get here now,
we found this jump.

"Like, the guys wanna
get it done today."

It's just been, like,
sitting in that Starbucks

waiting for the others
with the drone,

and, um, yeah, for 700,

just stewing with nerves,
just... that's what it is.

I'm the sort of person,

that I'm like a get-up-and-go

and just wanna do it
straight away.

And just waiting is the worst.

We went and got the drone
back from the apartment,

and we trekked over there,
and we all knew our roles.

Well, I guess I'm
gettin' the shot from here.

I can see them at the top,

and I don't know if I'm
gonna get kicked off here.

So the situation is,
I'm currently

trying not to point this
up at the sky

'cause we're on a relatively
populated road.

Max is standing on the edge
of this building ready to jump.

Keeps doin' preps.

Yeah, okay, drone"s up.

That is loud.

- He's still prepping.
- For fuck's sake.

Slow.

Yeah.

Jump, for fuck's sake.

Look how many fuckin'
just saw him straight away.

Here we go. Nope.

Come the fuck on.
This is so tense.

Throughout the whole
prepping process,

people were coming out for

cigarettes on the
top of the roof.

See, people come out and
have cigarettes,

and, like, we have a window of
like ten minutes to do the jump

before the next person comes out
and has a cigarette.

So before the next comes,
I reckon I'm gonna go for it.

Clear.

With these guys,
when they're pushing themselves

to their absolute kind of
mental limits at height,

it's... it's...

I trust them.
I really, really do.

There's been no moment
on this trip

where I've genuinely been like,

"oh, he's gonna die,
he's gonna die."

Like, you're aware of the risks,
but you have to just think,

"okay, he's comfortable,
he's prepared.

"He's... he's gonna give this
everything that he has,

"and I'm very confident
it's gonna go fine."

Oh, no!

Come on, Max.

He's runnin'!

Jesus Christ,
that was beautiful.

Easy.

- He did it so easily.
- That was so beautiful.

Holy shit.

Going first with an unknown jump
is always the hardest,

and just, I have a mad amount of
respect for what he did then.

You've got it.

So, did you see, like,

I slightly stuttered
on the run-up,

and it was still fine.

Obviously, put effort into it,

but once you're in midair,
you'll feel it.

The landing's fine.

Just go for it, you got it.

Callum, when do you wanna go?

Uh, like,
I'm up for right now, yeah.

Alright, okay.
I'll go after you, then.

Going second is so much
better than going first.

Definitely.

It's almost like
the first person unlocks it,

and then it's so much
easier to go for.

The decision is made
as soon as you think,

"yes, this is possible.”

Before you commit to run-up
and you're gonna go for it,

it is like
you've already done it.

Fuckin' hell.

Ah!

Yeah!

Woo!

Physical challenges
and technical challenges,

they're all well and good
like, you go home feeling great,

but the thing that fills me
with the most joy and happiness

is, um, overcoming
mental barriers,

overcoming fear.

Sick.

That's a wrap!

We... get out of here.

Fuck yeah!

Callum doing it,
I was like "yes!"

And then benj doing it,
and absolutely fine,

it was just like...
That was the best feeling.

Like, I can't explain how happy
I was at that point.

I found that that day,
and four hours later,

it had been filmed
and was in the bag.

I'm doin' a fat roof jump.

Oh, someone's too heavy.

That single moment,
running down the stairs,

and then out to the building
and then all meeting up,

that's... that's the
feeling of roof culture.

That feeling of
group accomplishment.

We... we conquered this
thing all together,

and we captured it.

- Sick.
- Felt fucking nice.

That's what we came out here
to do, in my head.

I was so happy for you two
when you did it.

I was like, "fucking yes!"

That jump sums up
roof culture as a project.

Everything came together.

That is fucked.

For the rest of the day,

I just had a straight up
smile on my face.

It's just... I can even...

I'm smiling now just thinking
about how good that felt.

- Oh!
- Yeah, buddy!

We're accomplishing stuff
that we're gonna remember

for the rest of our life.

I'll never forget that roof gap.

Like, I will never forget it.

Jis

Talk me through your
morning routine, Toby.

Go and buy coffee.

What are you doing?

Sacha, you may have to
put your shoe on properly.

- Done.
- Done.

So the first couple of days,
I reckon, Seoul...

The rooftops were better than
Tokyo, so it's a thumbs up.

We accustomed to

the consistent training
quite quickly.

The more exhausting part
was just scouting.

Scouting every day,
walking up so many stairs.

If a lift needed a key card,

if there were security
at the bottom floor,

we'd be walking
30 stories of stairs,

come to a locked door

and have to walk it
all the way back down.

Jis

yep, locked.

Just walked up 20 floors.

Fuckin' shit!

That's gotta be an alarm.

- It has to.
- That isn't enough.

Oh, that's a key card.

- Fuck.
- You need key access.

How many floors
have we just done?

25.

Stairs, stairs,
more fuckin' stairs.

Fuck.

Jis

Fuckin' hell.

Come on, there's gotta
be some fuckin' roofs.

Look how many roofs there are!

It's just so hard
to fuckin' find them.

You just have to keep doin' it
'cause you know

there's that small possibility

that there could be something
amazing out there.

Very good.

Big, massive team run, I reckon.

There's gaps there
as well, look.

Like, not high gaps,
but fun gaps.

Yeah.

It's always that,
"oh, try one more.

"We'll go to that extra
building over there.

"Justin case.”

And that extra 10% has made

so much difference
in this project.

We couldn't have done it
any other way.

What are your thoughts on this?

Uh...

I've already had
one shower this morning.

Watch that baby grow!

Fu...!

Ah, butchered that.

Yeah!

Oh, oh.

Fuck you.

I'm just stuck in the 70s
I can't get out.

I just got 58
three times in a row.

That's good, mate.

Oh, ah. Oh, ah. Oh, ah!

New high score.

Have you met the green
alien when you get past 1000?

Yeah, I've shagged it.

Hello?

Hello?

I mean, when you've
been wrecking all day,

and it's fucking boring,

he's gotta spice it up again.

It gets to your head, it does.
We've all gone a bit loopy

from the sun.

Loopy.

Out there, you get any
one you want back.

Wahh! Shit!

Wahh!

That was a fuckin'
big butterfly.

Jis

you get up onto these roofs,

and if there are security,
you might initially

have that kind of "hey, what are
you doing, what are you doing?"

But like, we've had
he odd occurrence

where, like, we've been
mid-filming

of a line and

you say, "five minutes,
five minutes.”

Whatever you say to them,
and the absolute majority

of the time,
they step back and they watch.

Security.

Ready?

Jis

yeah!

Woo!

Oh!

Woo!

Sorry.

Okay, no more, no more.

- Sorry about that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, sir, sorry.

Sorry for the hassle.

Nice to meet you.

Woo-hoo!

Well done, benj.

Celebratory peach.

Jis

Some worker is taking
us to the roof

after tryin' to kick us off.

Benj, we've gotta go down.

- Age.
- 22. 22.

24.

Thank you, brother.

Fuckin' hell, this cat pass
better be worth it.

Jis

tape, tape, tape,
every day tape.

Yes, you climb out of there?

That is... that is problem.

- I'm so sorry.
- Okay.

No, no we're sorry.

All we wanna do is
get, like, one clip.

If you give us, like,
five minutes, we'll go.

I have to call the cop.

Oh, okay. Yeah, let's go.

I don't think it's possible.

I thought we had it.

You have something that
you wanna film,

and you have something
that you really wanna do,

you go up there,
you get ready to film,

and then, suddenly a
security guard comes out

and your whole line is cut.

Oh, he's hit my score.

You're one here, right?

Poor Ryan.

Take it easy, guys,
take it easy.

90. Fuckin' hell,
here comes the high score!

Here comes the jump in.

Here comes the jump.
=-chill, cill, chill.

Chill. =chill.

Fuck.

- Chill, bro, chill.
- Big moment, this is the

biggest moment in
roof culture history.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

What's his record?

115.

More adrenaline than
any roof gap.

Wait, wait, wait
wait, wait, wait!

Let it chill, let it chill.

- Oh, shit.
- What's going on?

Oh, that was a risky tap.

Fuck me.

Oh, he's good.

Chungking.

Oh!

What the fuck!

Was that your last...?

Yeah, that was my last
high score.

So obviously,
in the last roof culture

I did a 360 dive roll over
a rail roof gap,

which was pretty fun.

Woo-hoo!

And so, I've kind of
made it my mission

for this whole trip to find one.

What's the situation?

Drew's just struggling
to get steps.

But obviously, because of, like,

me being ill at the start

and then me having
the heel injury,

I hadn't really had the
opportunity to break any, like,

big, big mental barriers
at any point on the trip.

And so, I started prepping
for this dive roll,

and was like, "okay, I'll
just do the dive roll first,

"do that a few times,
get confident with it,

"and then I can do the 360."

I kind of underestimated
how hard it was

to break that first
mental barrier of like,

diving over this gap
up over a wall,

like, the first time,
not having done it before.

3, 2, 1.

3, 2, 1.

He sounds very confident.

He said he could just feel
himself wanting to spin, so.

If he wants to spin,
he should spin.

And so, once I'd broken
the mental barrier,

and like, beaten the
voices in my head

of doing the dive run
going over the gap,

really, the challenge
sort of changed,

and it was away from, like,
the difficulty in the move,

and now, it was like, kind of
the time spent in the sun.

Do I look worried?

What's the matter?

I'm fucking boiling.
This place is horrible.

It's so hot.
My head is pounding.

I was up on the roof filming

with like, my t-shirt
over my head,

and you're in like,
pools of sweat.

Whether you're
an athlete or a filmmaker,

or in sacha's case, both,

heat is definitely
one of the most

difficult things
to cope with out here.

I'm gonna try and cool down.

Dehydration,
low blood sugar levels.

Never good for
when you're trying

a dangerous move.

Like, your ears
are constantly popped.

Yeah.

And people think
you guys are reckless.

Takin' five minutes out.

Take five minute to cool down.

Make sure I don't hurt myself.

Absolutely knackered.

I'm so hot.

And what are you tryin' to do?

Side flip a roof gap run.

360 dive roll a roof gap.

Run, dive over the barbed wire,
like a vault roll.

All in the blistering heat.

All in the devil's heat.

Should we do it?

Ah!

Drew just said this
is gonna be fuckin' hard.

Alright.

- Ready?
- Yep.

Jis

Jis

Thank you. Thank you.

Jis

Jis

Jis

Jis

Seoul has been
an interesting one because

it's... it's been so
easy, in a way.

There was so much chaos
happening with the police

and the viral video,
and then Tokyo

was kind of the same thing.
It was incredibly high stress,

and it's just felt like
we've come to a city

with this aim to create
and capture good content,

and I think Seoul has
just given that to us.

It's been such a positive end
to this entire journey.

That's a wrap
on roof culture Asia.

The weird thing about coming
to the end of this project,

now, is that...

At the start of this trip,

I knew this was the point.

I'd be here, talking to you

about roof culture.

But at the start, I didn't have
a clue what was gonna happen.

It was always gonna be
the unknown.

We've done it. We've done it!

- We've done it.
- We've actually done it!

Wait, that was an idea once.

Now, it's a thing!

We've actually made it
into a thing.

The commitment levels
from every single person

on this trip has been,
like, unbelievable.

That's why projects
like this can happen.

It's because everyone comes
together at the right time,

and it's amazing to
be working as part of

that kind of well-oiled machine.

For this to happen
on this trip, I guess,

I guess it probably means
roof culture

is something quite
special to all of us.

It's sort of like a
baby we've grown up,

from training on roofs in our
hometowns to Asia, you know.

And we feel partially
responsible for how

the growth of the rooftopping
scene has... has gone.

We want to take it
in a direction that's safe

and that's positive.

Jis

We knew it was gonna be hard,

but it's easily been

the most exhausting
six weeks of my entire life.

Weeks and weeks of hard work

and effort and mental
and physical barriers

that you've gotta overcome,
and it's like...

You look at it in January,
and it's this unfathomable thing

that's like, "how are we ever
gonna get to the top of that?"

And now,
sittin' on the other side of it,

it's just... yeah,
it's just surreal

is the only word I can kind of...

It's the best word for it.

How d"you feel, Max?

Mate, I am super, super happy.

You know, if you take
stuff day by day and just,

take... take things as they come,

then you can overcome a task
as big as roof culture Asia.

Jis

and the fact that
we've got here simply through

a bit of aspiration
and teamwork is

easily the most rewarding
feeling of my life by far.

And it's like,
"fuck, that went to plan.

"That worked.
Everything came together."

And it was...

So good to be a part of.

Being on roofs,

since I've started training,
has always been

associated with fear for me.

I think people can get
a lot more out of life

through doing things

that are out of
their comfort zone,

doing things that scare them,

whether in parkour
or in life or anything.

Jis

"oh, you're supposed to
walk on this pavement.

"You're supposed to
cross the road at this time.

"Oh, don't go up here."

There's so many things
that you have to do.

It's great to question things
that are told to be absolute,

and 100% true.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Jis

Jis

you see that if you got
parkour, you got...

You've got fear,
you've got freedom,

you've got expression,

all of those feelings, emotions,

and disciplines,
get rounded off into one form,

and that is roof culture.
