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. But funnily enough, I still ended up building that lean-back version later as autoplay mode — perfect for gyms, chill areas, events, and shared spaces where you just want parkour running in the background.

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 love coding, I love parkour, and I like 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?

Still not so sure. This is open for discussion. For now: key moments, influential projects, viral hits, personal favorites, commercial film about parkour, interesting ideas, and everything in between. I want it to be a mix of the important, the fun, and the weird.

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?

I want JUMPFLIX to be the go-to place for anyone who loves parkour films — a structured, permanent archive of everything that’s been created worldwide, organized as films and series instead of random uploads, with watch tracking that respects long-form projects, curation by people who explain why it matters. And... context: athletes, creators, teams/crews, spots, soundtracks, and more.

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

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.

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.

Is it really just for fun?

Yes. It’s a passion project. I’m not trying to build a business here. I just want to create something cool that I (and other parkour fans) can enjoy.
