About

We are a small 9 man team from the county of Norfolk in England. Our team consists of (in alphabetical order) Alex Plummer, Ashley Thom, Ben Gore, Jamie Finney, Jonathan Tembo, Matty Mallett, Roman Ragany, Stefan Boldero and Stephen Evans, . We started off as a 4 man team in late September, early October 2008 time with Stefan, Jamie, Stephen & Matty. We are all close mates that most of us have known for years. At first, we started out in the year 2006, not taking ANYTHING seriously but just having fun with friends. Before KLFR originated, most of us just went out and messed around not having a clue on what to do. Then it came to the Winter months when it started getting colder, wetter and and also whiter. Matty and Stephen quit and went off to BMXing for a year, Jamie and Stefan went off and did their own thing every now and again they would go out to train when they could still having a laugh about doing whatever they were doing at the time as well. After that year of riding, Matty and Stephen went back to training with Stefan and Jamie, started progressing getting better and learning some new stuff. A few weeks later, Jonathan moved to Kings Lynn with his mum and brothers. His brother Richard found us one day out and about, training around the hospital, he asked us are we training Parkour, of course we said yes and that's when Richard got in contact with Jonathan telling him he's found some Free Runners. Jonathan was completely stoked because he thought he would never find any Free Runners where he was moving to but he did and it just so happened to be us. AMAZING! After a few weeks of hanging out and getting to know Jonathan properly and seeing his amount of skill we just decided, we should make a group, not a team but a group, because we knew teams would get hassled to much. So we trained, progressed, learnt new things and introduced two new members Luke and Kane. Fortunately for us, Mattys' girlfriends mum, Dominique, is a very kind lady and got in contact with a man named Adam Garford who is the Urban Sports Motivator for the Borough Council of Kings Lynn & West Norfolk. He arranged a meeting with us, had a chat, threw some ideas that he had for us to see if we liked any of them and now he looks after us getting venues and shows to do around the local areas of which we live at. Unfortunately Luke left in July to live in Scotland with his girlfriend (still miss you man, we love you!!) literally just before things were starting to go awesome for us, we had several shows and workshops organized, our own clothing and even our own classes so we can teach anyone from the local areas who wish to learn Parkour or Free Running. After Luke had left we begun to realize how much recognition we were getting since meeting Dominique, so we decided we would change from being a group to being a team. In the mid of 2010, Kane had to leave for unspeakable reasons and in return we had little Aaron Jenkinson take his place. In late September 2010 though, we had Kane re-join then unfortunately, re-leave the team again but then we had little Brad Golding and Ashley Thom take over his place, then Ben filling in the spare space that was left. After only a few weeks of training with us, Roman was noticed in his very high dedication to Free running and he was pretty much immediately dragged into the team. Alex Plummer has shown us a huge dedication towards not only free running but to the team so we decided to steal him before he gets too well known anywhere else so he can get noticed with us aha! And now here we are. Your wonderful, kind, young team of Free Runners, KLFR.
