Hey, this is Muhammad. Just wanted to say I think this is a great video, but also, there is an image of David Belle on here that may get you some negative responses from some people in France. It's the image of David hanging on the side of a wall. I used it once on an article in the Parkour Horizons website, and was subsequently contacted by some French guy who started making legal threats, so I took the image down and replaced it with an even better one from when David was at the New Yorker Festival in Manhattan a couple of years ago. Just wanted to give you a headz-up so that you would know in advance that this harmless image could prove to be a headache. Anyways, this is a good documentary. I'm going to go share it with a few hundred people now :)

Muhammed, thanks for the heads up - that is very good info to know. I actually tried to contact him but didn't get a response. But I was sure to put his name in the photo credits at the end of the film & on the site's credits.

I'll just hang tight & take it down if he isn't OK with it.

Here is the name of the photographer who contacted me and his info:

"Frainke.com" <contact@frainke.com>
Frainke Stevenson <frainke_stevenson@hotmail.com>

This is some of the email he sent me:

Just some questions:

- How did you get this picture ?
- from who ? wich conditions ?
- there's any contract or agreement with the author or David Belle himself or his management ?
- how much you paid ?

and of course any information you can give to me.

Many thanks

Regards,

Frainke

I hope you could understand why I ask to you this information.

If you need or want to use this picture, I’m at your disposal to find an agreement.

Something legal between you and/or your website and me 'the author'. The law is the law.

And sincerely I don’t want troubles with any person…I have my part and that’s enough.

Looking forward your answer,

Regards,

Frainke

Yeah, that's the same name of the person. I'll just take it out. I don't need the headache.

Thanks again for the heads up.
