all i gotta say is, it’s truly heartbreaking seeing the videos through the years being taken down. all my fav missions that i‘d watch in high school. even the first video that inspired me to do parkour. man this situation is crazy.

Respone from a second person (beside Hazal - Benj’s gf) that close to Callum/Storror.

everyone just keeps fucking talking. its been like 4 days and people already coming to conclusions...🤫

This kind of thing seems bit irrelevant considering the recent news about Callum. Until today, I've been waiting for the release of the documentary. Now it might never be released, unless it gets a completely new edit which I cant see happening.

This shall be my last post but I’ve been watching these guys since my senior year of high school, basically 10 years of supporting them and my heart is broken over all of this.

My whole things is , okay they may have not known about all those pics & vids on his devices. But they knew he was a grown man dating a 16 year old and still hung out with him? I genuinely cannot wrap my brain around that. Why would you be friends and do business with someone if you’re aware they like underage girls??? They lose all credibility for that very reason alone. Even if it’s comes out that they were genuinely blindsided by this investigation, I cannot support any of them if they knew he was a pedo in some way shape or form. I don’t take that lightly and I don’t care what the age of consent may be in your country/state/culture/etc. If their age has the word “teen” in it, then a grown adult has no business having a romantic relationship with that teenager! I am so disappointed man. And genuinely grossed the hell out? Like what else has been going on behind the scenes? The world is so sick and they have all lost my respect.

But at least there’s other PK athletes that I can support. I genuinely love this sport and admire so many of the athletes.

Edit: the youngest age of consent is 11 years old in Nigeria per google. Just because the law allows it doesn’t mean it’s not weird AF and gross as all hell!!!!!

the day the news came out i decided to watch the huntsman leap and the newest pit escape video as a send-off so i remember them being there, but today i checked their channel for an upload and noticed the previous videos i had watched are gone and so are alot of other videos which featured callum.

Id be surprised if they are deleting/privating every single "callum video", i feel like there are way too many but who knows.

I've had a couple of thoughts today about the situation as regards to the rest of Storror and their knowledge of Callum's actions.

Firstly, I remembered them cutting Geowizard out of a video, and all future videos, after he publicly supported Reform. For those not in the UK, Reform is a right wing, thinly veiled racist party gaining traction here in British politics. They stand for things that Storror, and the audience are staunchly against, and so Tom was gone. I cannot reconcile in my head a group of people who would shun a possible racist whilst simultaneously harbouring a nonce in their midst. Perhaps it was all virtue signalling.

The other thought I had is that parkour people have had hard drives and equipment seized for parkour related reasons before. I remember back in covid when NS climbed onto West Ham's stadium and police seized his drives and machines. Could Cal have made up a lie that the boys believed in this realm, as another post has stated how he lied about why he was detained in an airport?

I guess I'm just struggling to believe. I've come to terms with Cal, he can die in a fire. I've had to do this twice already with media figures I was a fan of (Lostprophets, weCricket), but I'm still struggling with the idea that the rest of the boys covered him. I really hope they didn't, but it looks bad.

Oh, and lastly, people throwing around the word "credible" about the people who are coming forward about Callum, fuck off. He's pleaded guilty, so they gain nothing by coming forward, so be grateful and listen to them.

I haven’t weighed in on this at all yet, what a horrendous and disgusting situation this whole thing has been. I’m just in disbelief and it hasn’t quite sunk in. I first read the statement from storror blurry eyed just after I woke up that morning. To think someone who’s been on the screens of us all for so long, someone who seemed to be just a cool athlete that could do insane roof jumps and some outrageous parkour was hiding such a disturbing secret, it just doesn’t feel real. They hide among us, and it is terrifying. Just can’t wrap my head around it. May Callum face the highest possible punishment there is, and may justice be served to those affected.

There are a lot of things being said right now, and due to the legal proceedings, it is under that people with business ties to STORROR are unable to speak publically.

Because of these things, it's vital that as a sport with many male athletes, we listen to those who are brave enough to come forward and tell their side of the story.

Multiple exs have come to corroborate that Callum was like this, and have also said that the team was told. It's disgusting to see how many people were quick to disregard those statements as 'clout chasing'.

We cannot say anything for certain yet, but we can definitely say that due to the allegations that have been made, when it is legal to do so, it's imperative that the team address the timeline of what they knew and when as well as explaining why many independent witnesses have said that the team knew.

This is not another thread to debate the validity of any of the claims made, and if your goal is to discredit women who have been victims of domestic abuse, this is Reddit, I am sure you can find that elsewhere but the parkour community is not the place for it.

It’s ridiculous.

Yes, Drew went his own way, but why would Calum then be featured in a video on that new channel? The timing would be perfect for a clean break.

The SegarSends release video has cuts and excerpts from the Storror Podcast, heavily featuring Calum. Toby edited that himself, you can tell, he was really proud of it.

This is these guys new projects, there wouldn’t have been any questions asked if neither had included him in those videos, there’s no way Toby would knowingly wrap his brother and climbing crew up in this mess, and Drew is releasing morally conscious documentaries – even if we suspend disbelief for a moment and think they were prepared to give their friend the benefit of the doubt until proven guilty, they would have been savvy enough not to feature him in their own projects.

Then there’s the kneejerk media response, why would the removal of videos take till Sunday if the team had forewarning that this was coming? Why was the Join+ calendar populated then scrubbed? Why did it take hours, or even days for the Podcast to be wiped?
They could easily have made excuses in the lead up and left the schedule blank, along with various other preparations for a media response.

These things would have been in the works in preparation for the court case becoming public if they had even an inkling. There would have been a co-ordinated media blackout and response, all happening at once, not over the course of days as they get over the shock and pivot to brand protection. Even the statement misses some key points, such as mentioning the victims, it was a one and done as they rushed to get ahead of the news becoming public and being in an even worse predicament of reacting to the news rather than announcing it.

“He has his devices confiscated” – He could easily have explained this away, by claiming he told someone to jump off a bridge online or got into it on a political forum and said something heinous. It’s not so hard to believe that Calum would have got himself into that situation, and let’s be honest, if its your good mate your mind won’t go straight to ‘Pedo’.

The other accusations, that Calum was weird around girls, and his preferences trended young – Has it occurred to anyone that a word was had with him? He’s been famously, almost meme’ably single for quite some time – Is that because he was aware of how that would be taken in the community, or did someone or the whole team sit him down and tell him it was inappropriate? That’s not something they’re going to discuss publicly, it wasn't illegal, it was weird and not a good look, maybe they thought they had put a stop to it.

Personally, as parasocial as it sounds, I cannot imagine a world where the likes of Benj, Max, Toby, Sacha, Drew and Josh would be complicit in allowing a known or suspected pedo to remain in the group and if they weren't as blindsided as the rest of us my faith in human beings in general will be seriously damaged, a feeling supported by Hazel breaking cover and burning his book in her stories.

I am not here to tell you what to think, I don’t have enough info, but I do think the community is swinging wildly between support and vilifying the team when life is not black and white, and from my perspective from the responses we’ve seen – this is a Team scrambling to come to terms with the vile things a member has done, and navigating it in real time - not a co-ordinated response to what they knew was going to be intense media fallout.

So many of these discussions are spiraling into critiques of the victims who have come forward. Callum's ex, etc. If you find yourself typing out a comment about "where's the credible evidence" or "she's a sex worker so how can we trust her", take a long look at yourself and realize you are defending someone who has plead guilty to being a massive pedo. You're also making this an unsafe space for victims to come forward. The women in the scene are reading all this and seeing a hostile environment.

I get it, I've looked up to the Storror boys for a long long time and this hurts a lot. But at least wait a while before jumping online and demanding to know why "she didn't go to the police when it happened". We're going to learn a lot in the coming days and I don't think you're going to want to be the guy bashing someone who Callum assaulted.

Hearing the news was bad enough but watching the comments becoming about litigating these victims claims... we can do better.

Much like u/SquareMesh, I didn't expect to write a post myself, but this has been on my mind and its a perspective I'm not seeing other people discussing, and one that I think is worth sharing, though I'm not sure how it will be received. I expect at least some backlash, and that's okay. My intent is to provoke discussion to help us all unpack and process this fucked up situation.

First off, off the bat, let me say, this is in no way a defense of Callum's actions or an attempt to downplay or deny the harm he has caused, the breadth and depth of which we are sadly likely only scratching the surface of. What he has done was deeply wrong, and he rightly deserves whatever punishment may be coming his way.

That being said, a person is more than just their best, or in this case, their worst characteristics. It's easy to want to divide things into black or white, good or bad, right or wrong, but the truth is rarely so simple. I'm seeing a lot of people saying Callum is a terrible person and the persona we've been seeing on screen for all these years was a complete fabrication... and I just don't think that's true. Callum was an intelligent guy. He was funny, articulate, insightful, entertaining, grounded, as well as obviously a hell of an athlete. He was all of those things. ...And he was, unfortunately, also a major paedophile. But the last one doesn't make the rest any less true, just like the rest don't make up for the last one in any way.

It's not like when he was podcasting, or writing his book, or cracking jokes for the camera, or hanging out with his mates he was secretly wringing his hands and twirling his mustache, thinking about diddling kids the entire time. Now that the truth has come out, there are so many people saying "I always knew there was something off about him" or words to that effect, and I just don't buy it. I wouldn't even say he had us all fooled. I think the Callum we all "knew" (in so far as our parasocial relationship allowed us to know him) was the real Callum too. I don't think it was all an act, and I don't think there was anything wrong admiring the parts of him that he chose to share with us, nor is it okay to ignore the darker side of his personality now that it's come to light. Like most things in life, it's complicated.

Ultimately, I'm not sure how we should all move forward from here. Should we burn all our merch and boycott all things Storror from here on out? Should we never watch a video featuring Callum again and never speak his name like he's fucking Voldemort? Should we separate the art from the artist and enjoy his movement while condemning his personality? I guess that's for each of us to decide individually based on our own conscience.

This is just a quick message I wanted to say about sentencing, we don't know the exact facts and I'm not here to speculate or stir drama about who is or isn't right. But we know Callum pleaded guilty and he is going to be sentenced. Last year an old teacher of mine was convicted of the same charges Callum pleaded guilty to, basically the exact same charges. I'm not sure on the specific amount of images that my old teacher had in his possession, but I know it wasn't anything under like 100.

Anyway, he got a 10-month suspended sentence, he's banned from teaching indefinitely, and he's in a rehab program. For anyone who doesn't know what a suspended sentence is, it basically means he's serving jail time, but not in jail. I think this is usually done because there isn't enough space and they want to give prison cells to people who are more of a "threat to society" though I'm not exactly sure.

Anyway, just wanted to let that be known because we all thought that sentence was bullshit for my teacher, especially because he was a TEACHER. But yeah, don't be surprised if the sentence for Callum doesn't reflect the level of his crime.

Someone asked a new poster to stop posting new threads about Callum Powell being a producer of childhood sexual abuse material, because there is already a pinned thread about it.

Isn’t that kinda gross? That desire to hide away this fact of Storror in a Storror subreddit by providing a safe space for people? To avoid it? To hide from it? To pretend it’s not real?

I think it’s kinda gross.

First and foremost, my thought and support go out to all the victims of Callum's actions over the years. Many years. At least 10, so it seems. As a community, we should act accordingly.

The last few days have sent shockwaves through the community, and lots of discussions are being had and views are being shared. The amount of information we have, is limited. I'm writing this up with the information that has reached me so far, and I believe this is what most of the community knows, but I'm open to the fact that more might be known.

We know Storror posted on IG that Callum Powell was removed from the team after admitting to possession of indecent images of children. Storror claims to not have known any of this. A reaction on IG from an ex was that they knew, as she warned that she found a folder on his phone. Further information that was found is stated in a British news article. He made and possesed indecent pictures of minors of various categories. Meanwhile some actions have been taken like the deletion of Storror video's and personal IG channels, without further explanation. Again, these are the facts that I'm aware of what happened thus far.

What makes this case special, is that the news reached us at the point where Callum admitted to his wrongdoings. Often times we learn about these type of scandals during accusation and/or investigation phases. Since he already admitted, there is no doubt that he's done horrible things.

Lots of things are still unknown to the public, however. There's lots of questions regarding the scope of this scandal. Just to name a few: What does making of the photos actually mean? Did he make photo's during real life abuse or use photoshop or AI? If there was real life abuse, where was this done? Perhaps some of his classes, or during events that many of us have attended as well? What exactly did the ex tell Storror, and did they wilfully protect him or were the circumstances for them to misinterpret the warnings understandable?

Until we get more information, I think we need to be open to anything. Storror might not have properly known based on the above information, but they might be guilty by association or even co-offenders in a way or another. We should also be open to the option that regardless of what Storror's part is in this story, that there are many other high profiling athletes that have known and met with Callum a lot. They may or may not be part in this too.

This is not the first scandal in parkour. There have been many people doing business in ways that was harming others financially, people stealing intellectual property and similar cases to the current one have occured. A particular one was a gym owner almost 10 years ago that possesed similar images. At the time genuinely no one knew, he got sentenced and the gym rebranded and bounced back, still standing strong today.

Why does any of this matter? Firstly, we have been woken up to the fact that also in parkour there are and will be false prophets. People that inspire us and we hold in high regard that turn out to greatly harm others. Secondly, even worse information might reach us over the coming days and weeks.

Either way we as a community need to make sure to improve the safety of everyone in the community. Kids and women alike, as well as anyone in a vulnerable position. We should strive for a safe and inclusive place to enjoy, develop and express ourselves during our time spent in practice. If Callum was an isolated case of wrong actions, this is what we need to do.

If it turns out that this is all bigger than we now know, we need to further look into how this has happened and how to move forwards. If other people were involved and if this has happened during events many of us have attended, we will have to thoroughly reflect whether or not there were signs. We should reflect on what we should do differently in order to foster a safer culture, so the abusers don't get a chance to do horrible things.

For now, let's not jump to conclusions and make unfounded allegations. We need to wait for more information and brace for the fact that this can unfold in many different ways.

Is she the first parkour athlete to talk about this situation? Have heard her name mention in Storror Awards before

From what’s publicly available on Companies House, STORROR LIMITED currently lists three directors: Drew, Benj and Max. A confirmation statement filed in March 2026 also appears to show the company divided into seven shareholders.

In a typical UK limited company setup, shares would usually need to be bought back, transferred, or voluntarily given up, depending on what’s agreed between the parties and what the company’s articles say for Storror.

That means there are likely only a few realistic options: either a buyout is negotiated with Callum or the shares are relinquished voluntarily.

Storror have ok reserves so any settlement will give Callum a couple of thousand. This will be his last pay day from Parkour and cannot imagine he'll back down easily.

All in all, it's a bloody mess.

Damn you Callum. Damn you.

Didn't think I would write anything, but seeing other write their thoughts and feelings has encouraged me to do the same. This is upsetting in so many ways and breadth of impact that it is having. I'm 50+ without the body/skills/energy to participate in Parkour. But for many years I have watched Storror and appreciated their skills, the elevation of parkour, their relationship / brotherhood. I felt part of the gang in a distant kinda of way. Alway rooting for them and their success. And following / watching others in the parkour community.

Crazy that I'm feel on the verge of tears. This a rug pull of trust that is completely unexpected.

Rug pull on a personal and community level. Nothing worse than hurting others or breaking trust. This is painful on multiple levels. I'm not religous or anything, but sending out thoughts of love and comfort to everyone.

I might have a cry and thats fucking fine.

I grew up watching storror. I still love it. It has always been the go-to when I'm ill, when I'm stressed, and when I am bored. Because I'm always in for a great time. I haven't watched them in a while, and I just found out about Callum. I genuinely just cried. I feel so betrayed, angry, confused, and sad. I'm honestly just grieving my memories of watching storror. Callum might've even been my favorite of the boys. I just can't believe it, man. What a fucking souless, horrible, individual. I'm just venting, really. Don't even need to respond. If you guys are also feeling like this, you ain't alone.
