Brady’s Parkour practice started in 2007 when he was expanding his skills as a stuntman in Los Angeles, CA. His sister, Luci Romberg, joined a local Freerunning team, Team Tempest, and Brady became their business manager. In 2009, Brady went on to compete in the Redbull Art of Motion in Vienna, Austria. After that he hosted a parkour competition show called Jump City: Seattle on G4. Beyond parkour, Brady has appeared in hundreds of Films and TV Shows Stunt Doubling actors including Daniel Craig, Matt Damon, Miles Teller, Boyd Holbrook, Justin Timberlake and many more (IMDB). In 2017, Brady left LA to raise his kids in the beautiful forests of the Pacific Northwest where he discovered PKV. Brady loves working with kids and is excited help them develop fundamental life skills through the lens of parkour and human movement.

A Portland native, Jupiter began his parkour training 11 years ago at Revolution Parkour. The same month, he broke his femur at a local park. Three months and several copies of Assassin's Creed later, he was back to training. The same year, he was coaching at his local gym, Parkour Infinity. From these humbling beginnings and ever after, Jupiter has seen his life, the world and everything as the parkour philosophers before him intended: “It’s about overcoming obstacles, whether they’re mental or physical.” Whether it was couch-bound gaming sessions, going to college for physics and physiology, filming and moving for parkour art projects, or building, breaking, and rebuilding his body to allow for a life of pain-free movement, he has always found his own way forward. Jupiter believes that everyone can, and he attempts to give others the simple yet universal tools to break down their fears and become the person capable of facing them.

Ryan started coaching parkour at the age of 15 with Firestorm Freerunning in California. Ryan grew up playing team sports, but he felt stifled by the strict rules and limited definitions of success.
