Freerunning and parkour interests
In his teenage years, Doyle trained in the Korean martial art of Kuk Sool Won,[1] and developed his running style by adding his own freerunning movements to the martial arts techniques he had learned.[2] Doyle began his freerunner career by winning the 2007 Art of Motion competition in Vienna. He broke his leg in the competition while attempting a trick from a 12-foot jump during the finals. This left Doyle with a plate on his fibula and a 33 cm bar with 14 screws down the core of his shin bone. Despite this setback, Doyle made a full recovery.[2][1]
Even though he suffers from poor eyesight, Doyle is a two-time winner of the Red Bull Art of Motion competition. He is now officially sponsored by Red Bull energy drink.[2][3]
In 2011 Doyle won the Art of Motion competition again.[4] He received eighth place in the Red Bull Art of Motion 2012 (staged in Santorini, Greece), following a tour applying urban acrobatic techniques at the sites of the seven wonders of the world.[5] In 2022 Doyle.
