Parkour!!!!!

First, I wanted to thank all of you guys for all the fanmail, and I’m proud to say that I’ve officially reached 100 subscribers. Now I know that doesn’t seem like that many, but I’ve heard from other bloggers that the first 100 subscribers always seems to be a lot harder to get than it should. And for anyone that hasn’t subscribed, I urge you to just because it give me a little feedback about how I’m doing with the blog.

And now heres a couple of cool videos for you guys to watch. The first one was actually sent by one of you dedicated fans, and it reminded me of the second one. It’s amazing what these guys can do. Thank goodness we have stunt guys like this to make us actors look amazing on the big screen.

Congratulations on 100 subscribers, that is indeed a milestone for any blogger! :)

Parkour is so awesome. I’m not sure if I found out about it from a magazine article or through watching videos of the EMC Monkeys, but I’ve been hooked for a couple years now. Too bad I couldn’t do a backflip to save my life!

Hi Sung, I’m glad to be part of the first 100, I actually became a fan on accident, I have 3 teens who LOVE your movies, of course as an overprotective mom, I had to see them first, you know…keep an eye on what they’re watching, etc.

You are a good role model for the young people. Thank you… it makes it easier on us parents trying to do the right thing with our kids.

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations)) We all are happy to know that you are happy)
A few words about parkour movement. For some odd reason it’s getting huge popularity in Russia, teenagers from 13 to 19 are all obsessed and there’s rarely a wall in our town that they don’t attack! I’m joking, of course but really parkour is an amazing thing to watch although dangerous.
The other day I happened to witness one craziness - two boys jumped over a wide ditch filled with dirty water, then I thought what if they wouldn’t have been so lucky… it all might have ended with quite bad consequences.
Why it’s becoming so popular, that is still a mystery for me however it’s much more better to devote time to practicing than lying on the sofa with a remote in your hands simply staring at the telly.

Hey Sung, do you ever attend any functions on the East Coast? Just curious. The Asian American Int’l Film Fest is in NY. July 10-19. It would be awesome to meet you!

These guys are great! I thought I was crazy for skateboarding at 47, but these guys take the cake!

I love to watch these guys move, too. Maybe because it’s so outside my own ability…I can’t even turn a cartwheel. The human body is fascinating.

Congratulations on your first 100 subscribers! I love how humble you are, how you let your blog grow organically and include stuff that other people have done. In a sense, you are helping others tell their stories through this blog and through your work on the big screen.

You’ve really inspired me to work more on my own site today, but I have a job calling for my attention…so later I will.

Congratulations on 100 subscribers!!!

You’re such a cool dude, full of heart, and talented. I think that those are the biggest reasons I admire you and want to keep up with all that you do. You and you’re BLT family made me love movies all over again. Thank You!

Janet…. You’re a rockstar!
There is no way you could get me on a skateboard…. Unless it had not only for wheels, but doors and anti-lock breaks.
But get this, I want to learn how to ride a motorbike minus the stunts those psychotic people pull on them.

I fall down alot twist…my husband just bought me a longboard. It’s amazing. Those longboard guys are nuts! You should see what they do. There are probably some videos on Youtube. This parkour thing and other “extreme” sports take lots of guts and attitude. But you do have to have some type of physical ability inorder to pull it off. I skated in the 70’s when I was a kid, so it was like riding a bike. You just get back on the board. But considering I used to ride horses over jumps, skateboarding doesn’t seem that “extreme.” Try convincing a thousand pound animal to listen to you. Now that’s extreme!

Congratulations for the 100 subscribers Sung!
You have pride in having reached the 100 subscribers and I have pride because of being one of the 100.

I confess what I came doubting that you were interesting yourself really in what we thought.

It is amazing as the fact is that you still have patient for the blog considering the countless activities of day by day like actor, with the restaurant and with the family of course.
