History
Storror was established in 2010 by seven parkour athletes from Horsham (West Sussex), and Peacehaven (East Sussex) who met as teenagers.[2] [3] The team started with the Cave brothers and Drew Taylor, who were inspired by Jump London (2003) and Jump Britain (2005) documentaries. They began uploading videos to their YouTube channel, originally called StorrorBlog.[4] [5] They later met other members of British parkour communities and in 2010 established the Storror group and YouTube channel.[6]
In 2011 and 2012, the team filmed two cliff jumping videos in Malta that included jumps from the Azure Window.[7] In 2016, team member Max Cave leaped between the roofs of two Hong Kong skyscrapers and uploaded it to Instagram.[8] [9] They also filmed several other videos in Hong Kong which were published later.[10] [11]
In May 2017, Storror apologized for stunts performed at Joshua Tree National Park.[12] [13]
In September 2017, the team released their second documentary (the first being SuperTramps: Thailand) Roof Culture Asia, which features stunts made on the rooftops of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul.[14] They monetized this video through Vimeo.[15] Storror made their feature film debut in Netflix's 6 Underground, released on 13 December 2019. They worked closely with director Michael Bay to perform parkour stunts on famous sites, such as the Florence Cathedral in Italy.[16]
