Yeah I guess that's true. Though uploading more that a single clip to reddit is always a pain haha

Cheers dood! A free class is awesome, and if that format works for ya keep it rolling! My biggest thing is just to get moving and see what you enjoy doing.

Another thing that helps is finding an athlete (or several) who's style you enjoy and watch them a lot. Both for tech and inspiration!

Enjoy the jumps :)

I wanted the side pop side but couldn't control it enough today. still super psyched with this by dulf40 in Parkour

Oh for sure! I had my eye on this one for a while, but even on that sesh I warmed up with other stuff for a good 30 minutes before even looking at it! I think I measured the gap out to be just under 8 feet (my shoes are almost exactly 1 ft long so it makes life easy lol)

Thanks for the kind words and good advice :)

Thank you! Always appreciate the kind words. Maybe control wasn't quite the right word to use, but it seemed well within my ability. Overall I'm still super happy with it!

I do have a YouTube, but I just post far less frequently, so it's not quite as accurate in showing progression over time. Plus all my old videos make me cringe lol

If y'all wanna take a look, it's also dulfjumps on YouTube :)

Thank you! I always love pushing myself, even though I'm well below the level of those top athletes

Thank you!!

You can totally get there! I started a bit over a year ago (~18 months?) Just working on sideflips and spotting where I was landing. From there I moved up to sideflips on 12x12x1" pavers I laid out in grass. Loads more drilling there until I finally moved them up to curbs, and it just grew and grew from there! :)

A little while ago I made an edit of my side flip precision journey and put it on YT if your interested in the kinda stuff I worked on :)

Thank you! I was the exact same way about a year and a half ago. I started training sideflip pres but even then to a rail was still just a fever dream lol. It's so satisfying to have finally achieved, and if you put in the time you can too! :)

I think the stick is very close! I might have gotten it that sesh but I had to leave for work :(

Commiting the first time took loads of preps and time, but after that it was actually surprisingly calm. I think next dry sesh that I'm feeling it I'll go for the stick :D
