On 10-10-10 Mian bench created a YouTube channel called story blog
We just wanted the YouTube channel to be a place where not only we can upload our parkour
But all the other bullshit and funny stuff that we did as well on the 10th of October
2010 we are holding our first video standards now. We've got million subscribers take one kill actually
So the plan was to only make 30 episodes in the beginning just
Anything we thought of random challenges ideas just general messing about one
Start chasing and destroying your mind. We have the same mom
Within a couple of weeks we had already shot a load of video with the Horsham movement buddies Steve and drew
We also
Traveled down to Brighton to train with Calum and Sasha and Josh and Toby were always out training as well the eight of us will
beam called the Storrow boys
In 2011 star block subscribers took over our personal channels, so we just kept making videos
We were having so much fun, but we didn't really care
What went on the channel some people like that some people didn't like it?
We boycotted the biggest parkour video competition ever now cuts our bones left our
Webseries really loved this will be trickier. We did know there's a joke
With the official results haven't released off of that
We made hundred videos by now which is a huge check for everyone on the team so for that video everyone threw down pretty hard
Our first proper team trip was Malta, which was actually my first flight ever
That multi video finished off our some video nicely for that year
But it also inspired her desire to keep traveling and keep making videos a new and exciting location
So over the next year we did everything we could to tick off some of the countries that are closer to home
luckily our
Parents liked what we were up to and they lent us three hundred quid to make our first-ever t-shirt the st who remembers that
it
Was so successful we managed to pay them back in a week
You know with the cash from the clothing sales meant. We could travel way more often in the videos
We're getting so much better
We only ever had enough to fund the flights so we ended up turning up to these countries with nowhere to stay isn't that right?
Khaled what mate
Yeah, we did do that?
So we've just woken up, and we're 6,000 feet above sea level in some mountains in
California yeah that's ice on our sleeping bags
Pretty much travel at any cost even if we had to sleep outside
But we loved it in our audience did so he flew to Thailand shoot a feature-length film about it
Rooftops beaches multi-storey car parks helipads
Sweetman we spent three days on a deserted island with nothing but rice and water
It was insane it was like something straight out of Avatar one of our best team memories for sure a
Month later we filmed our first feature documentary
Me and Sasha fucked off University and Calum quit Tesco
The subscribers were rolling in now so he came out of new concepts and pushed up our core even more
Roof co2 is the next big step
All over the rooftops of England it was the best training video we'd ever made and sent us well into 2015
Drone crashed again a second crash now and this time at open with
We started vlogging way more it became more about the story behind our adventures
Not just the highlights we flew to Israel and experienced our parkour can bring people trapped in a religious conflict together
I asked them some questions about their religion
but there's no walls between us all first came just four train together and
Have fun
I'm sure a lot of you will remember the Brooks series
And then were invited to events which meant even more traveling in even more contact
Be going to papers on TV and in the movies
We made rope swings, but friends made it even bigger rotor
Rigged the sketches it like has some nasty bales
And some were a bit worse than others
Jumps of cars jumped off each other jumped off cliffs jump of boats trains bridges aeroplanes cars. You name it we did it
Yeah, we've jumped off a lot of stuff
YouTube was now the top of our social network food chain
They pulled in an all-new audience you guys and in turn funded our travels through clothing sells by now
We'd released a bunch of different clothing line and the brand was fully established
We'd released maybe six or seven full clothing collection and the store brand was in full swing
We cracked on and visited some insane new locations
we saw the Northern Lights and swam in the volcanic hot springs of Iceland a
Serbian dude threatened us with a knife to see if we had stolen his two guns
But it was not fun Papo paradise santorini for a drone and training video
We were making the most of our time together making multiple episodes per country
We had a project we had been speaking about for years through the culture this time in Asia
So we took out a loan and booked flights to Hong Kong Tokyo and Seoul for the biggest store a mission to state
It was definitely the hardest project we've ever committed to everyone threw down so hard we did some of the best parkour
We've ever done and created something. We'll probably look back on for years to come
Well sash and I were editing roof culture the others were upholding the weekly uploads so one of which was rooftop POV escape
And so that video went viral
Like seriously viral it racked up over 20 million views alone on our platform and over a hundred million views on Facebook
Monday episodes were now our religion in one year our subscribers had doubled which is absolutely insane
We did another POV video in Morocco
We even challenged by a mattress company to jump with the highest thing we could
- when Toby with done editing roof culture Asia for the kick things off we started touring a film run cinemas in the States
We started in Los Angeles held a jam and showed the film
And moved on to Denver for part two
Finishing off in Philadelphia where the reaction to the film was insane?
Big up to everyone who came along to those screenings to support the film and what we do
We flew back home where we held the final cinema screening in London over 500 people turned up making it the best night of 2017
In the last six months alone we've got up from 600 K
We've released the story tans who've been to India Singapore Brazil Mexico the hunt for monkeys has begun
Today we're going into a different purveyor called providencia later on we're giving a lesson to the kids that come to this place
