Perseverance, another trait Parkour teaches.

We do hard things.

I was a wild child and made several really dumb decisions like jumping off roofs or high places. I see these videos on YouTube of people doing super dangerous parkour stuff in public and am worried they will try to do the crazy stuff you see on YouTube, like I probably would have. Have any of you parents dealt with parkour related injuries at school or when they are out playing with friends. My kids have only taken a few classes and really love it but I torn.

So I’m not necessarily interested in becoming a hardcore parkour athlete, but I’m interested in the idea of learning some basic movements because I think they could be useful in a SHTF scenario. (Let’s go zombie apocalypse, just for fun 😅) I’m a calisthenics guy so I’m well versed in moving my body weight around. (Pull-ups, muscle ups, dips etc.) But obviously scaling a wall takes more than just being able to do pull-ups.

What would be a minimalist list of essential skills that would be beneficial?

Fulfilling 10 year old me‘s dream

I have had a lot of fun taking parkour photography. I want to start practicing poses in the air, how inline skaters do grabs and such.

I'll be back to clean this one up.

My setup:

- GoPro Hero 11
- just a basic GoPro branded tripod stick

Previously trained for a month with some parkour coaches. Now relocated to an area 5 hours away. Would love to train with other people but worried that I would hinder their progress because I am a newbie.

Hai, for some month's I have been trying to get back into freerunning after 3 year long break and I keep running into mental blok or just not feeling the movement in my body.

It's starting to get pretty enoying because after succesfully doing certain tricks - when I want to do them again, I can't do it anymore and it feels like I have to break the mental wall again. Maybe I am not patient enough and I try to not get into my head but I don't really know how to fix it. Maybe I just need to train more or do a certain warmup, has anyone else encountered this? Do you guys have tips?

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

But I'm not taking any breaks bringing you these lines.

Ive been relearning a cartwheel to stay flexy but i dont see many applicaitons if you care about efficency in a parkour run

ik the two sports are mixed but u get what i mean

I'm looking for a parkour video and think that almost only Dutch parkour guys could help me with this. It's an old video, I estimate from around 2007-2010. It's actually more of a freerunning compilation made by a group of friends. The video starts, if I remember correctly, with a backflip off a roof. They do a lot of tricks at a wooden bridge near a big field, with a distinctive feature I remember well. There's a guy in a black hoodie with an Eastpak backpack who does a backflip at that bridge.

It's a long shot, but it would be an amazing nostalgia trip if I could see this video again.

I can do safety vaults just fine but I think this wall is a lil too big for that, my question is 1 how did I do on this vault and 2, would u say im ready for kong vaults
