In November 2007, Tribe members Frosti and Ando , along with local Chicago traceurs Moses, Cloud, and Hak, performed parkour at the Greenbuild Expo afterparty. Greenbuilding is a new concept of architecture and engineering where its aim is to build energy efficient and environmentally safe buildings. Nau , based out of Portland Oregon, was one of the many sponsors for the event that provided clothing for all the performers. Their clothing is state of the art made of corn, pop and plastic bottles, and many other safe materials. Bringing parkour into the mix, it was a great combination for a great cause and fun night. |
