Title: Need somen to jump on a TV commercial in Mexico
Post by: mgarzat on March 19, 2008, 07:17:58 PM
Hi, how can I contact jumping kids (about 9 or so) for a commercial shooting in Mexico?

Firstly you need to put as much info in your post as you can, when is it filming?, for how long? what kind of tricks do you need? do you need boys or girls or both? what ages do you want? are you willing to fly them from the UK or other parts of the world?

The shooting will take place April 7th, so we'll need them in Mexico form April 5th to April 8th.
We´ll need two boys.
Need to fly them from the closest region to Mexico as possible.
We'll need them to run and to jump making a turn in the air.
Ages around 9 (or looking around 9).

Top of my head I can't think of anyone that's 9 or looks that young, who can flip (assuming thats what you mean by "making a turn in the air") you will find children that age who can run, jump and do other tricks.

At 1st I read it as 9 kids.  Yep at 9yo  would be on kids stilts dont think any1 has flipped on them. Now is doable ( ive seen kids who do parkour of that age flip without stilts).  Id say act fast buy stilts and find a parkour club team with v junior members in Mexico or Texas  un see if they can provide you with what you ned.

lol if only i was younger I'm 15 but u wont find any pro jumpers at age of 9 that can flip but if u mean like turn clockwise or anti-clockwise that's easy and wont be hard to buy 2 pairs and get 2 Mexican kids to do it also is the flight to Mexico paid for and are you a company because i don't think a mum is going to let there 9 yr old's go Mexico for a random person :P :thumbs:

It is standard practice to pay the expenses of "talent" also as they want underage kids it is also standard to have chaperones for them. If it's for a commercial you can expect a company behind it, not just a singular person. This is all info he needs to put into a post.

What makes you think there are no 9 yr old bockers that can flip. Not every bocker comes onto the forums.

At a guess I'd say only about 5% of the bockers in the UK register on the forums.
