Early life[]
Ally Law was born in Southampton, England, United Kingdom. He attended the secondary school Oasis Academy Mayfield, leaving in 2013. Law notes that before starting parkour at the age of 16, he was "extremely unhappy sat in [his] bedroom wasting away day after day, [he] had quit school and had no friends [and] had absolutely no idea what [he] wanted to do with [his] life." He had been addicted to a video game since the age of 13.
Personal life[]
Law continues to live in Southampton, and is a qualified carpenter. He often uploads the various stunts he performs to YouTube, and also occasionally does vlogs. This has got him in prison for a week for stealing a tea bag. He is a vegetarian and also doesn't drink alcohol. In December 2020, Ally released his first book called Living On The Edge. Ally also started a Twitch account and currently streams video games such as Call Of Duty. He often does extremely long streams lasting many hours to reach certain goals like reaching level 200 on COD Zombies for example.
YouTube career[]
Law started his YouTube channel in December 2014. The video he uploaded was of him performing parkour on the top of buildings in Southampton city centre, filmed on a GoPro camera. Law started to receive local media attention in the Southern Daily Echo for his stunts in December 2015, after he scaled Dumbleton Towers in the Thornhill area of the city.
He has climbed in many locations around the world, such as Melbourne, Dubai, Bangkok, and Barcelona.
As a consequence of trespassing Thorpe Park to climb the Stealth roller coaster in July 2017, Law was globally banned from all Merlin Entertainment theme parks and amusements for life.
Website[]
In May 2018, Ally worked with website development company Nullstack Limited to develop a subscription website service for his fans. The website allows Ally to share his YouTube forbidden content with his audience. The website has seen weekly uploads since May 2018 and looks to continue into the future while Ally has a restricted YouTube channel. Even with the website being active Ally has still seen growth on YouTube with the success of his second channel: Ally Laws Life.
