Jordan Wilcox (Born April/19/1993) Is a Young man who is a unique athlete Creating his own style and living the sport of Freerunning.
Jordan Is from the West Midlands of England in a town called Cheltenham. He Started his journey of Freerunning at the age of 12 and then continued to progress and evolve his style and learn new movements, Some that people would not think could actually physically work.
It began because since the age of a small infant he used to run around climbing areas, Climbing trees and generally being adventurous until at the age of 12 when he realised there was a name for creative movement being expressed in which ever way feels creative to yourself to get from point A to point B was by using the internet to type in "flips, Stunts" etc and it answered Freerunning.
Now Jordan kept training around his area of Cheltenham, Discovering new spots and areas ideal for his movment, Learning more and more, gaining flow, Listening to his body and the movement. He had an idea of uploading footage he started to gather and started producing videos of himself and growing a fan base on youtube. One of Jordans unique points is his creative style and movement and is also noticeable by his appearance, 1 example is his like to the colour red. he later noticed that the sport was increasingly growing in population and discovered by various forum websites that Other freerunners created jams and gatherings. Jordan Jammed and got together with lots of other freerunners because it is a way socializing with the community of other freerunners and sharing the love for the sport as well as training together.
Until the age of 14 Freerunning was purely just an amazing activity for Jordan to do, Then he was noticed firstly by the Gloucestershire Echo Newspaper who wrote an article constructing of 2 pages all about him and freerunning, Then at 15 he was sponsored. This widened the opportunity for him and decided to aggree to sponsorship and promotion. Now it became a professional experience for him. He has performed in many different locations now for many companies and organisations to generally give people that have not heard of Freerunning to have the chance to be involved with something such as this. for example Jordan has worked at Sports Displays, events, featured in Documentaries and starred in many different bits of tv, media and internet sources etc. Jordan likes to expand the knowledge and would like the public to see Parkour and freerunning as a way of fitness, to show Freerunning is a healthy and acceptable lifestyle.
Jordan now is invloved with lots of practitioners from around the globe and is involved with his sponsors. His sponsors have been great step to him from over the years of being involved, setting up bits of media to get in with and from there he has promoted himself, Getting himself into Shoots to star in, TV, Reading and web material, Shows, Performances and various other places.To see his work with himself and with his solo/team sponsors and organisations go to his youtube here.

In the Parisian theatre world of the early nineteenth century, the fates of four men - a brilliant mime artist, a great romantic actor, an aristocrat and a ruthless master criminal - are intertwined. All four love and are loved - at least for a time - by the beautiful, free-spirited Garance. Shot during the German Occupation, Les Enfants du paradis triumphantly overcame the constraints of wartime and was premiered in the recently liberated France of 1945. Widely considered to be one of the greatest films ever made, its spectacular magic can be fully appreciated only on the big screen. Now at last, Pathé's new 4K restoration will enable audiences to experience Marcel Carné's masterpiece in its full glory.

The sex lives of the upper classes come under scrutiny in this tour de force of late silent British cinema.
A philandering politician, the double standards of the upper classes, jealousy, miscegenation and a generation torn between centuries of tradition and a more modern morality... the plot of The First Born feels not unlike a lost episode of Downton Abbey. However, the film was expertly co-scripted by Alma Reville (Mrs Alfred Hitchcock) and it's hard not to see her influence in raising it beyond old-school melodrama to be a tour de force of late silent British cinema. Sir Hugo Boycott (Miles Mander) and his young bride (a pre-blonde Madeleine Carroll) have a passionate relationship, but it founders when she fails to produce an heir. This is a surprisingly 'adult' film and made with both elegance and invention. Particularly surprising among Mander's sometimes Hitchcockian box of visual tricks is a handheld camera sequence that allows the audience to become voyeur as Boycott stalks the marital bedroom to find his wife in the bath. The story is oddly reflected in reality: the 'first born' is played by Mander's own son and it was well known that the leads were involved romantically - well enough known to bring Mander's wife to the set to demand an explanation. This major new restoration by the BFI National Archive includes reinstated missing footage and the reintroduction of a beautiful range of tints.

BLU-RAY LIGHTS UP THE CAPITAL TO CREATE THE WORLD’S LARGEST LIGHTSABER
LONDON, UK. (September 12, 2011) – As the UK becomes the first country in the world to releaseSTAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA on Blu-ray, London will feel the Force like never before as droids, Stormtroopers, Jedi and the Sith invade the city in a week-long Star Wars spectacular culminating in the galactic transformation of the BT Tower into the World’s Largest Lightsaber™.
The week commenced with a rude awakening from the Dark Side, as Darth Vader and a sinister fleet of Stormtroopers took to the streets in an Imperial March that will sent shivers down the spines of Londoners. The march began at St. James’ Park where they joined Changing of the Guards activities, before proceeding to HMV on Oxford Street to meet shoppers as they queued to get their hands on the highly anticipated Blu-ray release.
Star Wars legend Anthony Daniels (C-3PO in all six episodes) will provide a lighter touch on Tuesday 13 September as he meets fans at the grand opening of the HMV at the new Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, signing copies of STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA on Blu-ray. The loveable droid was central to all six smash hit movies and Daniels’ portrayal makes him a favourite with manyStar Wars fans.
On Thursday 15 September, from inside the exclusive star-studded launch party at the top of the BT Tower, Daniels will press a button lighting up the London skyline for one night only as it morphs into a Jedi Knight’s elegant weapon of choice, projecting a giant ‘blue ray’ of light from the top of the tower.
In the words of Darth Vader himself, “This will be a day long remembered” by Star Wars fans in the UK and across the world. "
May the force be with you…
