Parkour in Budapest with Tomi Nemeth

 Category:

I've captured the following images together with parkour practitioner, Tomi Nemeth in Budapest, Hungary in several days. When I asked him what is the main motivating factor in parkour, he told me that he enjoys beautiful and challenging spots in cities and also in nature. Venues included the Buda Castle (several spots) and the tunnel at the Buda end of the Chain Bridge.

Ukrainia, fuck yeah!

Well known fact: I'm Ukrainian. 100%. Although something like 3rd generation Canadian if you want to get all technical. My grandparents on both sides of the family emigrated from Kiev. I'm extremely proud of my purebred pedigree, so if you know me in real life this is old news.

So understandably I'm all puffed up after seeing these amazing pictures by Mustang, a Kiev based builderer. Holy fucking shit Batman! Run, don't walk, over to his site http://www.mustang-wanted.com/en. There's lots of video content, photos, and despite the language barrier it's obvious he's a genuinely nice guy. All he wants for a sponsorship is some damn headphones!
