Pavel Petkuns, known to his friends and fans as Pasha, is a freerunner from Daugavpils, Latvia. With his creative bar work and the easy fluidity of his movement, Pasha really stands out from the crowd.
Freerunning urban worlds
Pasha made a name for himself after the release of his first showreel in May 2009, which showcased many original moves. His creative and innovative take on freerunning has made him a master of urban spaces – the Latvian is always looking to create new tricks and has surprised his fans with his training methods.
His dedication and originality make him one of the strongest freerunners in the world – and has picked up three Red Bull Art of Motion titles.
But for Pasha, it’s not all about the wins – he says that freerunning gives him everything that he wants in life – fun, food and friends. And these days, Pasha can be found working as a stunt coordinator and freerunning actor in movies, as well as developing his training routines.
