Ready to take on Tempest Freerunning Academy’s latest Weekly Challenge?

In this week’s edition, DEEZ NUTZ, Phil “Philly D” Doyle of Storm Freerun throws expert moves flying across The Academy. He might make it look easy, but be warned, these tricks aren’t for the faint of heart.

Here’s how to complete the challenge: Grab a coach to watch you execute each of the three moves during an Open Gym session, or record yourself throwing all three tricks and post the video to YouTube (email a link to: academy@tempestfreerunning.com). Not only will you receive a special edition band to wear with pride, but you’ll also get to grab some bragging rights in the process.

And, if you missed the Upper Decker challenge from last week, taking it on is still up for grabs. Good luck!
