HISTORY
“I did: Park. Our. Car!”
-Colton “Pilvi/Cloud” Pesonen, April 1st, 2020
Origin of Spot Our became in April 1st, 2020, when Colton “Pilvi/Cloud” Pesonen uploaded a 3 part video “#Parkourcar”. While Finnish Traceurs (Parkour Athletes) thought he was going to do Parkour move with his car, it was actually an April Fools joke which resulted him publishing a 3 part video where he just did literally park our car! Soon after, he told that he has bought GoPro MAX 360 camera, which allowed him to create material while taking advantage of 360 possibilities!
Soon after that, he bought DJI Mavic Air 2 drone, which also has 360 support. Both these cameras greatly increased his interest for 360 filming. This resulted him becoming a private entrepreneur for that line of business. And in November 2021, he decided to take a name “Spot Our”.
In May 2021, he noticed that there really isn’t any site dedicated to Finnish Parkour locations (also known as Spots). After thinking a while, he started to develop a web environment, where any registered users can add and share their own Finnish Parkour spots. Because this environment is related to same thing than Spot Our as an entrepreneur, he got a feeling that he killed two birds with one stone.
After several months of intense developing, Spot Our finally opened in April 15th.
WHAT KIND OF NAME IS SPOT OUR?
Spot Our name has three meanings:
1) It’s a combination of words “Parkour and Spot” – Spot is a term for location
2) If you combine those words, one can also get two words from it: “Spot” and “Tour”. Tour has also a meaning on this site, because visitor can have a feeling that they’re on a tour when checking Parkour Spots.
3) This name gives visitor a feeling, that they’re supposed to spot something. But they’re curious that what it is really?
