And we are back with London Real. I am Brian Rose.

0:03.4

Today we welcome Mr. Timothy LiveWire Shefe,

0:06.5

who is considered the best free runner currently in the world.

0:10.5

That's quite an honor and it's one that was passed to him from Sebastian

0:14.6

Foucault who was a free runner we had on the show about three months ago. This is the

0:19.0

guy that starred in the James Bond movies that toured with Madonna and in a way it seems that he's kind of

1:15.1

tube cleaning up his house but he's doing everything in a handstand and he had

1:19.7

one episode where he actually was homeless in a handstand and it really it spoke to me a lot he

1:25.2

cries on cue he he pisses on himself and it was just like I don't know it was really kind of heavy

1:31.1

and I was like you know there's something special in this

1:33.5

kid and he's a very introspective guy and thinks about his role in the greater community of
