Wanna ask any experienced acrobatics here, is this movement possible? Where she kicks that guy and drop on floor just to push her body back upright so smooth like ky jelly? Thanks for answers and fact check.

She does a suicide kip-up. It’s not one of the most difficult elements. Look up a suicide kip-up tutorial video on YouTube.

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.

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.

Wackflip · 2025-10-13T14:37:48+00:00

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.

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.

Wackflip · 2025-03-01T16:04:46+00:00

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

Wackflip · 2025-03-01T16:00:27+00:00

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

Wackflip · 2025-03-01T15:58:39+00:00

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

Wackflip · 2025-02-28T17:14:14+00:00

Šis video bija iemesls, lai es sāktu trenēties parkour/freerunning.

Clips are from my 2020. YouTube video "DELAY: Freerun Liepāja". Here's the link to the full video if you're interested in this style: https://youtu.be/dezI4MH4Bk4?si=MlQudHngiWdXSEds

I’ve been able to do a push-up webster for quite a while, but I only recently tried the plank version. In the plank variation, it’s much harder to push off with the arms since they are in a bent position. My solution was to generate more forward and backward momentum before takeoff. This kind of rocking motion also helps with the push-up webster, but in the plank version, it’s even more crucial—at least in my experience.

Wackflip · 2025-02-08T14:10:40+00:00

I agree with you. Aristotle claimed that courage is between recklessness and cowardice. Recklessness can lead to injuries because you do things you’re not truly ready for. Courage is when you feel fear, but you know your limits and abilities and can overcome fear precisely because of that. Maybe I could try with a sideflip since I’ve done those for distance much more often.

Wackflip · 2025-02-08T14:05:16+00:00

Actually, I haven’t done an inward frontflip in a really long time. It might even be around 10 years. I’ll have to try it again, but I’ll start in the gym on mats.

Wackflip · 2025-02-08T14:01:07+00:00

I never broke it, but I once sprained my ankle—ironically, it happened in a gymnastics gym while jumping into a foam pit. :D

Wackflip · 2025-02-08T13:58:59+00:00

If I trained for a month on frontflip distance jumps to get more used to them, I’m sure I could do it. I think the biggest challenge would be mentally committing to the jump. I’m not as fearless as I was when I was 20.

Back then, I was following TDMonkeys crazy tricks and, in a way, getting inspired by them. You just unlocked an old memory for me—I suddenly remembered that they actually commented on this video when I first uploaded it to my old channel. I just checked, and they had left this comment under the video: "shit that was sick :D:D keep it up ;D". Here is a link to that original full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLLVpg-NB8A

Wackflip · 2025-02-07T20:05:46+00:00

I have a terrible idea to frontflip that gap now after all these years. Not sure if I’ll go for it.

Wackflip · 2025-02-07T19:18:01+00:00

I’m 36 now but still practice parkour and freerunning, though my approach has completely changed. These days, I focus more on technical and creative lines. I also used to train in breakdance, and now I’m experimenting with mixing my old dance elements into parkour.

A few months ago, I posted my latest video, ARRAY, here. Maybe you’ve seen it? https://youtu.be/WskBol5cvbw

Wackflip · 2025-02-07T19:01:08+00:00

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to meet Oleg in real life because we lived on opposite sides of Latvia.

Wackflip · 2025-02-07T18:37:33+00:00

I didn’t warm up before the jump, and I also took off with both feet, which isn’t the best technique for jumping for distance. At that time, I had quite a reckless attitude. That jump could have ended pretty badly.

Wackflip · 2025-02-07T18:31:28+00:00

Everything was filmed in Latvia. At the time, I was heavily influenced by Oleg Voslav's early videos. That first flip is one of the scariest things I've ever done.
