good composure man, when you roll though you want to make sure your chin is hard against your chest, this will increase the roundness of your roll, make it shorter, and is the strongest position so it reduces the risk of hurting yourself.

keep it up.

Another, kind of fucked up this roll though...

But with Parquor you must get up and keep on running. To the nearest garden wall to traverse and then keep going almost as if the pigs were after ya hehe

Running is a very bad Idea, thats why we have motorcycles.

You will find people meet up and train in most cities. Have been wanting to give it a go but had shin splints that wouldn't go away (6 hours of muay thai training a day for a month fixed that though!) and now i really have no excuse not too be doing it!

I thought the idea was to get a bit more forwards momentum =\

Lol wtf Big Dave! Have some bling cos I have no idea wtf that was.

Anyways my internet is shite so I didn't watch the videos, but I've probably seen them before. It's so awesome how they run along and just flow over obstacles pretty much unobstructed. Good on ya for trying it out

i suggest join a gymnastics gym, they will teach you how to do all the tricks,vaults,back/front tucks and flips etc and will teach you the right techniques for your safety

Mark, if you had researched the idea of Parkour you'd know that the guys who started it all off spent a lot of time in the gym, and where gymnasts before they were 'free runners'.

Before you start jumping from properly high shit and start to damage yourself (why am I stopping you???) you should spend more time doing the agility side of things at low level.

The is used to convert the downward motion into forward motion, and if you don't have enough forward motion to begin with you are just going to slam yourself into the ground and look like a dick (as in the two vids you posted).

You don't become a free-runner after 3 days, it'll take months of practice before you pull off a decent run that will impress anyone on here.
