Q: So what are they doing in the second day (SPOT Challenge) ?
A: The Spot Challenge brought all 16 athletes to one ideal location to highlight all of their different skills as they filmed a 60-second clip with one of eight seasoned freerunning pro filmmakers. The big stand out of the day was Travis Verkaik of the UK who threw down the most mental collection of next-level moves, all leading up to a mind-blowing kong gainer over the central roof gap that earned him first place for the day. (Redbull)

Overall top-five after Day 2
• 1. Travis Verkiak - 12
• 2. Ed Scott - 7
• 3. Shea Rudolph - 6
• 3. Elis Torhall - 6
• 5. Archie Aroyan - 2
• 5. Bob Reese - 2
Female top-three
• 1. Lilou Ruel
• 1. Sydney Olson
• 3. Miranda Tibbling

All three challenges are weighted equally and only the top five athletes in each challenge will receive points from the judges. Points will be awarded as follows in each challenge:
1st = 7 points
2nd = 5 points
3rd = 3 points
4th = 2 points
5th = 1 point

Here is some recap of Redbull post
- Newcomer Elis Torhall put together an outstanding compilation of game-changing moves that left the judges reeling and earned him second place in the Spot Challenge. His swing full in back out and cast back full into a tricking combo impressed lead judge Luci Romberg, who said: “His level of precision, his amplitude, and overall level of difficulty really impressed us.”
- The USA’s Sydney Olson came out on top for the ladies with her high-energy edit jam-packed with bangers all rounded out with a stomped tsukahara.
- The top five of the day were rounded out with Shea Rudolph and Bob Reese of the US who came in third and fourth respectively, with newcomer Stefan Dillinger of Austria in fifth.

I love Bob's creative take with the objects in his environment. It reminds me of some early videos by Damian Walters & Tim Shieff using random things in the gym to train.

[toxigenic]

These are so fun because you can see everyone's personality coming through. I love seeing more women just killing it on the parkour scene!

[dominicliam]

Archie nailed it ! ! ! Even down to his outfit, parkour at its best ! ! !

[castaenjoydnb]

I like how for Ed Scott it's shot in one take

[TedHolmwood]

LORD Unbelievable. He's pure parkour. Amazing style of movement, he kind of reminds me of Benj Cave with his technicality and honestly just how cool he looks while moving.

Also Elis is already a GOAT, he's going to be winning everything soon.

[melodicchronic]

Soooo unbelievable!! I have wanted to freerun since I first saw it years ago. I started, and never got that good. But where the sport has gone is exactly where I wanted to go myself. And the women have stepped it up huge!!! Love to see it.

[seaniekay]

All the athletes were obviously all super talented but I think Travis or Elis were my favourites, I watch Travis regularly so I know how good he is but Elis I've seen little of, but his bar work was nuts and his flips look crisp. The storror boys need to get him over for a video

[pjmmccann]

Great video, and Travis and Elis simply killed it. One minor correction to the video and the description, for what it's worth: I'm pretty sure it's "Verkaik", and not "Verkiak". No kayaks anywhere in sight!

[ingry]

verkys style is so recognizable now, dude just looks cool

[yannispiette]

Hey there, thanks a lot for the uploads =)

[jimmysimmonsdoesstuff]

Cooler than the main event, I think. Amazing stuff.

[AutisticLed]

This was beautifully edited, really gave life to the movement and personalities of the parkourists.

Miranda's step-through front (if if has another name, let me know) was amazing but honestly that's just one moment out of so many captured and the way some like Shea and Bob took their videos with a little comedy.

Did I hear Giles from Motus Projects say "What are you?" to Shea?

Also, I loved Sydney's style because, and trust me this is a compliment, it looked like she was falling backwards in one sequence yet gracefully and with purpose? It was like she was approaching each obstacle in her way of falling and turning it into a beautiful movement. I don't know if that will make sense to anyone else but it's definitely a positive in how I mean it haha.

Dom inches away from ending up like the bad guy in every horror movie smh

[PatrickHermann]

YEAH ! TOP athletes with lot passion in nice places with fresh videocut . THX REDBULL !

[soulfulfool]

wow all of them are creative talented young people and I want to congrats them all, be yourself guys run free forever 💪

[wtch]

So cool they could mix the sport with artistic montage. The last girl was soo impressive omg !

[keithsquawk]

Sometimes you can tell when Dom's been training with Joe Scandrett - batshit crazy move.

[shrewmastercomics]

It's stupid to see how high the skill level has gotten since the first few art of motions. This sport is growing so much.
