The British parkour team (and now global institution), Storror, have released their annual Storror Awards — and with £10,000 worth of prize money up for grabs, this year’s lineup was absolutely stacked with top-level athletes.
But interestingly, this year’s picks were also surprisingly contentious, with a noticeable wave of online backlash in the week following the awards.
In this post, we’ll recap each category and each winner — and I want to know: do you agree with the picks?
According to the boys, this award goes to the best clip of the year — and based on the nominations, this category might be the most brutal of them all. It was full of the gnarliest, most technical clips of 2025: dynamic, complex obstacle interactions, and some of the year’s trends like Maiara Sapeca Pipoca’s gainer slide, Lilou Ruel’s cork roof gap, and Parker Zebell’s side-pre pop dub-ten.
Ultimately, the winners of this year’s banger awards (and the recipients of £500 each) were Joe Scandrett, for his truly unreal lache poleslide; and Martia (known only as Martita online) for her crazy kong front pre.
The Tombstone Award celebrates not just bailing — but bailing safely. Storror emphasised that this category is about athletes who can make a mistake and still come out okay.
Some tombstones are just pure misfortune — like Megan McQueen’s pole slide bounce. But the winner this year was Choukaye’s roof gap cork precision. It easily could’ve ended horribly… but thanks to ridiculous spatial awareness, it didn’t.
The Dinger Award goes to the best stick of the year — and the men’s and women’s nominations were stacked. A lot of the challenges this year required a ridiculous level of control, including Yuma’s rail kong pre and Camilla Stefaniu’s drop pre. However, the winners were clearly above the rest. Marc Chastenet took male dinger of the year with a 19 foot downward running pre to a rail that’s never been stuck, and Hazal Nehir took female dinger of the year with a gross running pre to a wooden beam over water.
This award recognises innovation: athletes who push the sport forward and move differently.
As with every category so far, the nominations were unreal. Chloe Reynolds, for example, has integrated choreography and dance into obstacle interaction in a way that’s reshaping how we approach “non-spots”. And Egg Klickstein continues to stand out for creativity and experimentation.
But the award ultimately, went to Mostafa Hormati for taking basic tricks to disgusting spots, like kong gainering through a window.
Mostafa received £500 for his contributions to creativity this year… which, honestly, is not enough money to kong gainer through a window.
Next up: Favourite Flavour — basically parkour video of the year.
There were some stellar nominees this year, including Turf Cam’s Thyme and Roses (a collaboration with Boston-based production company The Commons). In my opinion, this was the video of the year — and well worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet.
However, Storror gave the win to the latecomer from Germany, Neophyter (released in late December).
I’m not sure I agree with this pick. Neophyter felt more like an old-school compilation of back-to-back clips — whereas Thyme and Roses felt like a genuine step forward for filmmaking in the parkour creative industry (and pushed the level of the sport in the process).
Either way: both are great videos, and I’d recommend watching both before deciding for yourselves.
This award celebrates videos that come from a single athlete.
, like Logan Frady’s video, Charmed (also a collaboration with The Commons and another personal favourite).
But realistically, it’s hard to argue against the winner:
Travis Verkaik, for his Capstone video.
Two years in the making — and packed with some of the most insane athletic feats the sport has ever seen.
including Hazal Nehir’s ‘Momentum’, which documents her training throughout the year. Hazal is one of the best athletes in the world with an absolutely insane work-rate, so that video is well-worth a watch. However, the winner this year was Monica Del Piano’s ‘Silver Linings’. It was praised for its energy, creativity, and filming — and it’s the kind of video that genuinely makes you want to get outside and train.
This award celebrates groups doing the most for the parkour community.
Nominees include The Commons, for their efforts in supporting grassroots video production, SupaXXL for hosting weekly training sessions in London and documenting their journey on Youtube, and Femgaps for pushing the level and visibility of women in parkour.
The winner was Avanti Garda, for hosting another edition of their Holding Hands jam in Prague, and putting out a strong team video — Jugo Grad — which was also a contender for Favourite Flavour.
Breakout celebrates fresh faces entering the scene — and this year’s nominations were stacked with talent across different styles of parkour.
From Marc Chastenet’s impeccable technique and control, to Nathanial Triers insane trickset and creativity — Nathanial ultimately took the win.
And honestly, nobody seems able to rival him right now when it comes to flips and line building (maybe an up and coming competitor for the style GOAT, Elis Torhal).
The final awards — and the recipients of £1000 each.
The question: who are the definitive king and queen of the streets in 2025?
Competition was tough, with familiar names across the list:
Queen of the Streets (2025): Martita
King of the Streets (2025): Travis Verkaik
What do you think — do you agree with the boys and their picks? If not, who did you have on your Storror Awards bingo card?
In my opinion, it’s pretty tough to disagree with any of the winners this year (not that that’s stopped people from trying). We should remember that, regardless of who wins, the Storror boys run this award every year to highlight things from the parkour community to share with their audience. Even if your favorite athlete didn’t win anything, we all benefit from Storror pushing the culture to the masses.
