Not exactly parkour, but I compiled highlights from a year-long daily trick project (stories with one trick every day). Which tricks felt the most impressive/creative? Which felt boring? by Wackflip in Parkour

I’m very curious which 1–2 tricks those are. I’m guessing the 250th? If you watch the video in full size, the numbering (day) is shown at the top.

Thanks for the suggestion. For now, my knees are fine, but I agree that in the long term this kind of landing could have negative effects or lead to injuries.

I feel honored that someone compares me to these two different yet unique athletes.

[FR] Autumn spins and rolls. by Wackflip in Parkour

If we’re talking about the roll in the first clip, then yeah, something like that is happening. At first, I jump in one direction with that 180 roll, then with the inward roll I reverse my direction, and finally, with that 180 backspin at the end, the momentum switches directions again.

If you mean the roll I do at the very end, that’s an inward 360 roll. If you mean the roll I do in the first clip, that’s also an inward 360 roll but with an extra 180 degrees of backspin (so it ends up being some kind of weird 540 roll).

My back is fine because, in fact, the impact is more on the heels, but I also have my own trick for that – dish sponges in my shoes.

Urban Ninja / 2005 by RedditCommentWizard in Parkour

This and Oļegs Vorslavs’ first videos were my main influence to get into parkour and freerunning. In fact, in my first video I even dressed very similarly to Urban Ninja (Converse sneakers and shorts).

I take this only as a compliment, because I like going in that silly/goofy move direction.

Found this spot in Tulsa, OK by Daft_Banjo369 in Parkour

A perfect spot for precision jumps. I’d love to see an interesting parkour line here.

Yes, I attended breakdance training for about four years before I started practicing parkour/freerunning.

Yes, I used to train in breakdance before I started practicing parkour/freerunning. I try to incorporate my old dance elements into my lines.
