My newest and most skilled video is up. Filmed at the University of Utah and an LDS Church I go to.. It makes for an awesome video, just check it out here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5390698961451562704&q=shalvis+productions

The jam was pretty good, though it wasn't really a newbies jam, because there weren't any NEWBIES! But its all good. Hopefully next time though. But it was a pretty slow paced jam, but all the while fun. I was stupid enough to lead everyone up top this building where you have to walk across windows, and if the window were to have broken on one of is, it would have ben a 3 story fall. That would not be a pretty sight. But we all turned out safe. And check out the the photos there, some of them are peretty sweet!

Well I'm going to be joining a stunt team. Right now we are going to start working on some videos to see if we can get some sponsors and then to also send it in to a stunt coorinator to see what kind of work he could get us. Most likely we will be doing things for commercials and stuff like that, and possibly shows. I can't wait, I've always wanted to do something like this, and not only will I be doing what I enjoy, but I will be payed to do what I enjoy so much. Cheers.

If you don't know what a jam is then listen to this. There are a group of traceurs (those who practice parkour) all across utah state called slcpk or Salt Lake City Parkour. And we will have what are called jams, where a bunch of us get together and practice parkour in some of our favorite hot spots. There are different types of jams, gym jams, and outdoor jams. The gym jams consist of going somewhere indoors (like a gymnastics gym for example) and will practice our techniques and movements there when the weather is bad or we just want somewhere to practice things where it will be more safe. For an example of what they are like click this link: gym jam.
And then the out door jams we will meet at places like universities where the building structures are very enjoyable and can practice almost any movement. I will have a video up later of what those are like. First off when we get together, we will warm up a bit, get to know any new comers and then get started. And all of the guys I have met at jams are friendly, and they become your bestfriends right off.(for that few hours any ways) You can stay how ever long you want, there is no price unless the gym you go to charges to use their equipment, but anywhere else it is free. There are those who do lots of crazy insane stuff (like me for example am one of them) and others are there soly to work on techniques and learn from others. And then there are the begginers or new comers. They are awesome as well, they come to learn and to meet new people and to have fun.

If you would like to come to one of these jams check out the community internet site: slcpk.org
If you want to know when and where these jams will be check out the forums under event planning: forums
And don't be afraid to join and introduce your self to the community, because you will be welcomed with open arms.
Lastly please don't be afraid to come because you are a begginer or are self concious, because we have all been there once. Just come to have fun and meet new people. Finally if you really want to come and are worried, read this article and it will step you in the direction you want to go. jam article
Good luck, remember to have fun, and I will see you at our next jam.

 The Matrix homemade video scene, made by Ronnie and Reese Shalvis. Instense, action, a must see. Actually its just a little spoof me and my little brother made of the matrix. Very funny, but even funnier if you've seen the matrix before. Or else some things might be kind of confusing.

You know I don't know about anyone else, but do you ever just think, not sit and think because you don't have to be sitting. But just think of the things around you, look at the environment, the world we live in. You know, I walk home from the bus stop every day and walk to it. Boring, it may seem, but just that small walk can be like a mental adventure. As I am walking I'm watching and feeling everything around me, all of my surroundings. I will look at the sky and the trees, even the little pebbles that seem so insignificant. But if you really think about it that one small little pebble has a world of its own. All the molecules and elements that make it up make it so complex, and you wouldn't think that with just a pebble. That pebble was created, through an intelligence far greater than our understanding, even the word intelligence is to week to compare with it.

You know I use to never think things like this but I started slowly developing this new way of seeing things, when I started le parkour and free running. Yes almost everybody knows i'm obsessed with it. But I can't help it, just the freedom it gives me, no barriers or obstacles stand in my way. You may think that le parkour is just over coming things physically, which it mostly is. But if you can understand le parkour and its meanings and philosiphies, you will start understanding that it can also help you mentally, even through trials. Its not the fact that you can do parkour that gets you through trials, because trials don't have anything to do with jumping off a building. But if your brain can comprehend and understand its meaning, thats what will really help you through your everyday life. I could care less if you did parkour or not, what I care about is that you will understand why people like me do it. I do like it when people do parkour with me but I like it even more when they understand what parkour is to me.

When you start seeing the world in this different perspective, life suddenly has so much more meaning. Every day you walk, breathe, think you start to understand why you are even able to walk, breathe and think. You were created, you are a very important person, heavenly father created us to live on this earth and to live our lives as full and extraordinary as possible. Now to some people this may all seem like jibberish but this is how I live my life each and everyday thinking of these things.

Hey sry for the change of name everybody, Supertemporal just wasn't working out, so we'll be trying out this new name "Urban Volation" and If that doesn't work then we will find a new one until we find one that sticks. Sry for any inconveniences. Please post any questions or concerns you have. or just email me:  sk8rdude_guitarsrule82@yahoo.com

YAY!!!  I got the video up on the internet but its not quite where I want it. So if you want to view my video you can view it here!  Just copy and Paste!      video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6620583651083901673

 

well folks I'm working on inspiring people to parkour, why you ask? I'm doing it for the complete benefit of the United Sates of America. Parkour is popular in france and britain and those areas but not quite as popular as us traceurs would like it to be here. There is a new movie coming out made in some other country coming to the US Starring David Belle The creater of Parkour and Cyril Raffaeilli another great traceur, Traceurs all across the world are hoping this is the movie to spark intrest in parkour in the US. How ever The movie has only come out in theatres in a certain number of movie theatres across The US and Utah isn't one of them, I'm hoping it can at least reach DVD here. Now back to what I'm trying to get at. Parkour is natural sport it has always been there, even people who don't know about it use it all the time! whether its climbing a  fence jumping over a rock or just simpling jumping off a rock. Parkour isn't showing off, though many people add flips when their parkouring to help attract people to the sport. You can take parkour anywhere in life, with parkour you don't need equipment like a skateboard or bycicle, it might help if you have shoes though, but most of us wear shoes anyways. But parkour is always there with in you, its in your mussels, from your head to toes, its in your brain working you mentally. Parkour can have a lot of uses. Say some one is chasing you and if you have good practice in parkour you will not only be able to run good but you can use obstacles to speed you up while the obstacles will just be slowing down who ever is chasing you, I recomend every body learns Parkour! You can also use it for a rescue mission. Say someone is hanging on a building ready to fall and theres no time for a helicopter maybe parkour is just what you need to get you there in time to save them. Parkour will also Increase your reflexes and the way you move, you will trip less likely just walking down the street because you are more aware of your surrounding. I don't see why any one shouldn't learn parkour, its just another way of walking but with control and balance. But don't forget parkour takes time and hard work, you won't become good at it if you don't practice! You need patience and discipline, It's not like spiderman where you just get bit by a radio active spider and you can do everything, it takes time and practice.

     It would be nice every once in a while to parkour with someone istead of always doing it by myself, you could say thats another reason why i'm trying to encourage people to parkour but that is not the main reason. My goal is to one day have my own parkour organization or team across all the United States and it starts with YOU! Release your Inner Traceur! Since i don't have my own organization yet, you can simply join another team that I am on called salt lake city parkour with people all across the state of Utah, you can visit them @ www.slcpk.org Thank you

        Le Parkour? Whats that? Is probably what your thinking. Well let me tell you about parkour. The word parkour comes from the french word "parcour" which means "obstacle coursing." Parkour was invented by a man by the name of David Belle, Inspired by his father Raymond Belle who was in the military fire service and a beleiver of this parcour. David Belle Into gymnastics, and at the age of 15 is when he started coming up with the idea for parkour. Parkour is moving along a path using two points, point A and point B. Going between these points as straight as possible going over every obstacle to get you there. Parkour using Gracefulness and fluidity with out turning back, overcoming these obstacles as smooth as your body will let you. Parkour has many philosophys and can be compared to our everyday lives like this quote "Life is made up of obstacles and challenges, and to overcome them is to progress." by Sebastian Foucan who is also a co-found of parkour. Sebastian beleives that parkour has always been there, he puts it as parkour has always been used like in africa the way they hunt to track animals and chase, they are using parkour techniques. Its just that no one has ever put this type of movement in a box or category now known as parkour.
