Not too many of you know Caroline Lee. She used to come to the parkour classes a while back. She’s a very good friend of Jill Sprague who still attends the parkour classes while her kids Will & Matthew take gymnastics or grommit parkour. (The two girls are x-teammates from the UCLA women’s gymnastics team.) Jill invited Caroline (aka Liner) over for the parkour classes, but Liner lives way out in Los Gatos, so she’s only been able to make a handful of them.

Liner practicing her Kongs at the old-school CFM Big Studio. This must have been around April of 2009 when Shane & I were running the parkour program
Liner practicing her pop-vaults with while Shane coaches.
One day we were surprised to find out that she had made it over with the specific goal of training for “Wipeout”. This knarly little game show has the contestants put themselves through a very evil and abusive obstacle course with the ultimate goal of beating everyone else through the course and taking home $50K. What actually happens to most of them is that they “wipeout” over and over again much to the entertainment of the audience. It’s a very funny show and I highly recommend it.

Jill was rather perplexed because she knew that the show had already been filmed but due to the contract, Liner was obligated to not tell anyone if she had won or not until after the episode aired.
Liner's Wipeout viewing party AND Birthday Party!
Wipeout happens to be one of Russell’s favorite shows, and when Jill invited him to come tag along to Liner’s Wipeout viewing party in Los Altos on July 15th, he was really jazzed to come. Russell was a bit mezmorized while watching the show. Liner showed up in her “Jailbreak” outfit with which she scored the audition. Here’s a picture of Caroline with Russ looking a little star-struck:

Here is the complete episode. Enjoy- It’s hilarious!
