About JUMPFLIX

What did it evolve from?

It actually evolved from pkfr.nl — a Dutch community site I built to document and centralize parkour in the Netherlands. My friend Koen had this massive playlist of everything he thought was cool. I had another playlist with basically everything ever created in NL that was shared in Dutch WhatsApp groups. Between those two playlists, we kind of had a living archive.

But playlists don’t feel like a home. They needed a space.

At first, I wanted to build an endless live stream — like a 24/7 parkour TV channel. Just press play and let it roll. But then I realized… I haven’t watched TV in years. I don’t even own one.

What I actually love is streaming films.

I’ve always loved the Popcorn Time catalog view. I love Stremio’s interface. I love how things darken when you’ve watched them. The structured “films and series” approach. The feeling of browsing something cinematic instead of scrolling social media.

So I rebuilt that feeling — but for parkour.

It didn’t start with a plan. It just started existing because I like coding, I like parkour, and I love films.

Sometimes that’s enough.

Why JUMPFLIX?

I separated the project from pkfr.nl (I like separating my codebases anyway), and I realized this shouldn’t just be Dutch-focused. The idea was bigger.

I love buying domain names, so I grabbed the first thing that popped into my head.

JUMPFLIX was born.

What belongs in the catalog?

I just started listing everything I liked and knew about, then expanded it. The rule became simple: if it has quality and hard work, it belongs.

Why popcorn?

The popcorn inspiration also became literal. Popcorn can jump insanely high compared to its size. No legs. No arms. That’s wild. Imagine how high it could jump if it had legs and arms.

Boom. Logo.

Since then I’ve been building it almost daily, every evening, for the past couple of months. Winter helps — when it’s dark and wet outside, it’s coding season.

What’s the bigger vision?

• A structured, permanent archive of parkour films worldwide
• Projects organized as films + series — not random uploads
• Discovery feeds that match taste, not trends
  – You like tech + precision? Click.

  – You like big sends + street chaos? Click.

  – You like crews, cities, eras? Click.
• Watch tracking that respects long-form: progress, rewatches, favorites, lists
• Curation by people: ratings + short reviews that explain why it matters
• History + context: timelines, creators, teams/crews, locations, soundtracks

Not short-form dopamine. Not algorithm chaos. A museum for the work.

I want everything archived in a beautiful, fast UI — the same vibe as when you sit down to watch a movie.

What nerdy features should exist?

• Spot markers on the playback scrubber, so you can see every location used in a video (in collab with Parkour.Spot)
• ✓ Automatic song scraping so you can search videos by song name

All code is open source. I’ll publish database backups too, so the project won’t just vanish if I ever get a life sentence for trespassing or breaking walls. I want it to be permanent.

Right now I’m focused on listing the projects that EVERYONE has to see — the stuff people actually put sweat into. 10+ minutes, real edits, real effort.

I’m not building this for vlog-style or short-form scroll content. This is for the hard work.

Why does it matter?

Because right now everyone is focused on Instagram. Endless insane clips. Constant dopamine. And then two days later? Forgotten.

Saved films matter. Long-form projects matter. That’s legacy. Not instant likes.

When you Google “parkour films” you’ll see the same handful of projects over and over. It’s been like that for years.

But that’s not the full picture.

I want people to see the real parkour. The deep cuts. The addictive wall-touching stuff. The projects that shaped styles but never got algorithm love.

This is about preservation. This is about culture.

Not social media. Not algorithm chaos. More like: a cinematic museum for parkour.
