I actually got it now. I found it is important to make your body into something more circular. And hold it, and not get too self conscious about the roll.
You are a life saver! I've been bruising my hip pretty badly when I took my roll to concrete. Thought my roll was fine but when I took it outside I was hitting my hip extremely hard and it was extremely painful. Started tucking in tight and even while it was bruised and extremely sensitive I could roll on hardwood with ABSOLUTELY NO pain whatsoever. And the best part is, it only took me about 2 minutes to perfect my technique and fix that small error I was making. I was favoring it so my natural instinct was to flatten my back out in fear that I would hit my hip but in fact I was just exposing it even more. When I stayed extremely tight even while standing up and went just slightly more to the side I seriously couldn't even fill my hip bone touch at all and like I said earlier it was already bruised and really sensitive and I KNOW I would have felt it had it touched haha. Thanks again man!
Yeah, I had watched this, and noticed flaws in my technique. I tried it jumping off my deck, and pretty much perfected this. This video was SO helpful, thanks guys! Keep it up!
Finally, because of this video I'm beginning to master the PK roll. I've watched a lot of these kind of tutorials, but this one was by far the best! I just know many traceurs will rise because of this channel, so keep up the good work!
We did a few parkour in the park's a while back and have held some free classes in DFW but our schedule with other gigs came in the way to have something consistent. We'll be moving to LA next week we'll see if we can get something consistent over there in between gigs.
I mention some people rolling down more straight over on the spine, you should never roll on the spine. I'm just talking about some people's rolls are angled more to the side and some are more straight over. Should have been more specific
Hey tappbrothers I've been practicing for a couple of months and no matter how hard i try i cant get myself to build up the confidence to do a front flip or a back flip. could you do a tutorial on how to do a back-flip/front-flip? step by step. and maybe some exercises that will make it easier. LOVE the videos. they help a lot.
Thank you much, I have been experiencing a lot of pain in the shoulder while rolling, which made me think of quitting parkour because I couldn't get it for months now, this fixed my problem, thank you.
Thanks for the video. I just went to a big jam in the FW water gardens and tried my rolls for the first time. I was surprised how hard it was. I figured it was because of my age (45) but I'm glad to know that others have the same problem. My shoulder was bruised and my hip was sore afterwards. After watching your video, I feel hopeful that I can get this down with some practice.
I actually hit a spine bone... just one of those... it kinda hurts and usually causes bruises there when I roll on hard surfaces... Not so bad ones though... Sometimes I roll just right and don't hit it ! I just still don't know what exactly am I doing wrong when hitting it and how I avoid it sometimes... XD Gonna have to keep trying until I finally find out !!!
I trained parkour for about 5 months in a gym, twice a week, and sometimes on the street. I don't know why, but I stopped, and there's 3 months that I'm not doing anything at all. Tomorrow I'll start over. Thanks for the videos, they're really motivating.
I would advise, if your like me, if your body just won't do the roll start off doing somersault until your body is comfortable with rolling. It helped me out A LOT.
hey Jonathan and Thomas we have talked before my name is time and when i started i knew nothing but because of your tutorials all i have to work on is flips and i am going to start teaching my friends work outs for thing like jumps so ya thanks for your teaching peace -Tim
Today was my first time attempting at parkour again after I sprained my ankle's ligament 2 years ago and had to spent 3 months in a cast. I only trained for close to an hour because it was late and some sketchy people started showing up but due to my environment all the dirt at the park was mud thus I had to do my first roll's on concrete. It hurt allot until I finally did a proper roll and didn't hit my shoulder and or hip. I still need to practice more so that I can stop hitting my knee. I do intent on joining Orgins parkour gym in Vancouver again but for the moment I am tied up with money issues. Due to my computer crashing when ever I touch a game I have to spent most of my time outside which will hopefully get my fat ass off this computer and staying outside because I hate inside but I have no reason to be outside thus I play video games... And now I am getting off topic. Thanks guys for the video, I will defiantly use this
unun4 At least its not Surrey. Anyone from Vancouver and Vancouver area(Richmond, Surrey, Burnaby, New west) should join Orgins. Its alot smaller then it looks but is sufficient. www.originsparkour.com/
I practise a lot on soft surface and I think my technique is pretty good but my goal is to be able to roll on hard surface. The problem is that I don't really have an idea how to do the transition between soft and hard surface rolling. When do you know if you're ready to roll on hard surface and how to do you start to roll on hard surface ?
A couple notes, if you can do it easily everytime on grass or other soft areas, you should be able to do it without harm on hard areas... i've learned to roll, and can pull it off on soft or hard ground, without harm. the second note... don't try to roll from soft to hard in one roll... you will get hurt from that more than likely.
Omg I’ve been hitting my hip and shoulder all day trying to perfect my roll but I couldn’t get it right. I watched this video and used the techniques he said. The first roll I did using them I was amazed on how I felt zero pain anymore. This was a life saver, thank you!!!!
Hey man I understand that but does anyone realise that shoulder to hip actually has the spine running down the middle so you can't avoid it..... I always hit the one vertebrae in the middle and it seamss like you can't avoid it
One does not simply conquer the fear, there's nothing you can do to get away from it; the fear it's a response to a potencially dangerous event, nothing more, and you'll understand with time of practice. To overcome it when trying to do some kind of movement there is only one way, with self-confidence; you get it as you train harder and harder because you'll know all of your capabilities, you'll know what can you do and what you can't. Hope this answer helps :)
Thanks a bunch dude! I just got it down on concrete! I was super afraid to do it before. But these techniques really pay off! Its so nice to be able to just do it without pain!!
I just started parkour, but for years i had the perfect roll without knowing it was parkour related because i love jumping off things and rolling after, and now that im starting parkour it really comes in handy, also i just started practicing the Kong vault and i got it down first try, it was another move i had already known :P So just being active in general came in handy big time
my "hip bone" was literally never a problem. it's always with my shoulder. im pretty sure its my shoulder blade. always aches and occasionally bruises so im pretty sure im doing something wrong and going on a more vulenrable area. any advice?
I have actually learned from this that I used to exaggerate my rolls a bit. And what I mean is that when you said to test the roll tighter with the legs to the chest or looser with the legs out, I figured that if I roll a very slight line from my shoulder I avoid my spine and my hip
Thank you for this! Emphasizing the fundamentals is always important, and it seems to me that no matter the discipline, the new practitioners always want to skip them.
For some reason when I do my roll at a stand still, it does bother my lower back muscle. Yet, because I have speed an momentum built up an I jump from obstacles it doesn't bother me at all. I figured I learn the basic roll on ground first but when it came to executing the move? I took it to the run an jump to really land it. Sometimes? You have to go big to really learn sometimes.
Thank you so much bro,whenever I did the roll I kept hitting my shoulder,it hurt a lot,after I watched this Video I kept doing what you said and than it at stopped hitting my shoulder bro tysm
You taught this so well I was able to do a full roll at a run and stand up and keep running within five minutes of practice. I have *zero* parkour experience and am kinda out of shape. Great job!
I try to diagonal roll from shoulder to hip. I had a back surgery a few years ago that stiffened my back to stay straight or even slightly bent inward, so my back can't really round out to roll. Whenever I try to diagonal roll, I end up doing it all the way down my spine instead or I end up rolling from side to side (like kids do down hills). Help?
Hey guys I love your videos and I have a quick question. So I learned the parkour roll and it works great but would you suggest learning how to roll over each shoulder?
2 questions: 1-whats that move called when your standing on higher ground like a wall or box, and you drop off and push yourself away at the same time 2-could you do a tutorial on that please
Thanks, this helped a lot, but what I'm having trouble with is I have pain in wrists when I do the roll, if you can help me out, Iit would be very helpful, thank you!
1:38 i don't know why the finishing position of the rolls feels uncomfortable on my knee which is on the ground like turning my leg inwards at the knee joint
hey tapp bros, sometimes I notice you tuck your leading elbow towards your body when rolling over it and sometimes internally rotate it so it looks like you roll over that whole arm. does it depend on how high you jump from how you angle t the elbow of the arm that you roll over? cheers
Hey tapp brothers! Just have a question for you guys.When I do the parkour roll on a soft patch of grass, I am able to do it but when I do it somewhere else then my shoulders aches really bad.Why is that so?
Hey, I'm just wondering if you can give me any tips on confidence so I can do this on concrete because I like climbing the wall beside my house, but every time I get down, I have to sit on the edge and fall. I get sick of this and I WOULD roll on the concrete but I don't have the confidence to. Tips and help?
I've been doing parkour for a year now and I used to have the same problem. The way i got over my fear was to crouch on the wall and slide off, and from then i'd progress to a standing position. good luck bro!
start off from a kneeling position and tuck in tight. once you're comfortable from a kneeling position, stand up and slowly work your way into a roll. NB. start off going very slowly! DON'T RUSH THINGS!
Practice rolling on concrete a lot, and if it hurts watch the intermediate roll tutorials by Amos Rendao. Then do a tuck jump into landing roll. Hope this works
It's true, it's all true. The roll has been much harder then I expected.
I actually got it now. I found it is important to make your body into something more circular. And hold it, and not get too self conscious about the roll.
+Heki Kahni hey i did it to
SLS KDS What? Fall on your head?
UR SHOULDER IS HURTING? MY FUCKING HIP BONE HERE IS FUCKING MAKING ME FEEL LIKE LAYING DOWN FOR 1 WEEK STRAIGHT
Facts im still struggling with it and i been doing parkour for 5 to 6 years
You are a life saver! I've been bruising my hip pretty badly when I took my roll to concrete. Thought my roll was fine but when I took it outside I was hitting my hip extremely hard and it was extremely painful.

Thanks again man!
Ben Meyers ur right this helped a lot
i have some trouble as well because i always seem to be hitting my shoulder bone and that will hurt alot on concrete and hard surfaces
when i roll on concrete road or hard surfaces, it hurts.
Same, I'm fine on matts or carpet or grass but when I try to roll on concrete then it hurts like crap
Mr toooo in soldier and back
It hurts for me no matter what
+SBOANDIAKL Dlary who is mr too and what soldier
I think it maybe hurts because our backs aren't strong enough
is it weird on how right when I clicked this video I got up to try it but tripped and did it perfect
that's hardcore XD
SOOO glad I foound this... my shoulder is killing me D:
Yeah, I had watched this, and noticed flaws in my technique. I tried it jumping off my deck, and pretty much perfected this. This video was SO helpful, thanks guys! Keep it up!
0oXEROo0 IKR!!! MINE TOO!!
0oXEROo0 I seem to hit my back how do I avoid that
same im dying now
0oXEROo0 DUDE SAAAAMMMMEEE
Appreciate it man! That was an awesome workshop! Hope all is well!
Thanks, I actually have a wall spin tutorial from a little while back I'll message it to ya!
Ok
Finally, because of this video I'm beginning to master the PK roll. I've watched a lot of these kind of tutorials, but this one was by far the best! I just know many traceurs will rise because of this channel, so keep up the good work!
They see me rollin *g*, they hatin
:D
Broom broom.
lol i see wut u did there :D
Omg I seen this comment a hundred times.
We did a few parkour in the park's a while back and have held some free classes in DFW but our schedule with other gigs came in the way to have something consistent. We'll be moving to LA next week we'll see if we can get something consistent over there in between gigs.
What about hitting the bumps of my spine?
that happens to me ......................ALOT
Levi Halperin you need to go back to the instructions of the basic parkour roll for that.
I almost broke my spine
You shouldn't be going over directly on your spine, or your doing he pk roll incorrectly
You need to be going from one shoulder to the opposite hip. If you're going over your spine, then you're doing it so very wrong.
No matter how close my legs are to my chest my hips still hurt as if stabbed
Then you’re rolling wrong I do it and I feel fine and I’ve done it off of high drops
Lol. I watched it and it works perfectly fine. Except sometimes when I do it, I knee myself on the nose! 😅
Twist your head to the direction your hands are. If you roll over left shoulder and put your hands to the right, look to the right.
I actually laughed
Same
I mention some people rolling down more straight over on the spine, you should never roll on the spine. I'm just talking about some people's rolls are angled more to the side and some are more straight over. Should have been more specific
Hey tappbrothers I've been practicing for a couple of months and no matter how hard i try i cant get myself to build up the confidence to do a front flip or a back flip. could you do a tutorial on how to do a back-flip/front-flip? step by step. and maybe some exercises that will make it easier. LOVE the videos. they help a lot.
I highly recommend watching jesse laflairs front flip and back flip tutorial it helped me alot
i purchased their webpage and i have made huge progress towards my backflip and have thrived off their workouts. but thank you for the recommendation.
yawz Starhart you can't hurt yourself learning a frontflip in grass as long as you don't dive onto your neck.
Thank you much, I have been experiencing a lot of pain in the shoulder while rolling, which made me think of quitting parkour because I couldn't get it for months now, this fixed my problem, thank you.
I broke my collar bone trying it
Thanks for the video. I just went to a big jam in the FW water gardens and tried my rolls for the first time. I was surprised how hard it was.

I met you guys a few years back at the Yamakasi workshop! Awesome tutorial and congrats on the joining the TF team!

I live in Vancouver!
Vancouver Canada bc? I'm a city right next to it, on a small island called Richmond
unun4 At least its not Surrey. Anyone from Vancouver and Vancouver area(Richmond, Surrey, Burnaby, New west) should join Orgins. Its alot smaller then it looks but is sufficient. www.originsparkour.com/

thx tappbrothers for not hitting my shoulder blade again ive seen too many tutorials but this one is far better than other vids and you earn a new sub
Omg I’ve been hitting my hip and shoulder all day trying to perfect my roll but I couldn’t get it right. I watched this video and used the techniques he said. The first roll I did using them I was amazed on how I felt zero pain anymore. This was a life saver, thank you!!!!
I was hitting my shoulder, and my hip bone. This was a big help, thanks so much.
I always tend to hurt my spine when I roll
You must be rolling on your spine rather than shoulder to hip
u must be doing a gymnastics roll
Hey man I understand that but does anyone realise that shoulder to hip actually has the spine running down the middle so you can't avoid it..... I always hit the one vertebrae in the middle and it seamss like you can't avoid it

you have really inspired me to do my best in parkour thanks
Thanks a bunch dude! I just got it down on concrete! I was super afraid to do it before. But these techniques really pay off! Its so nice to be able to just do it without pain!!
Alright ha will do!
the technique helped me out a lot in my roll off my padio
I just started parkour, but for years i had the perfect roll without knowing it was parkour related because i love jumping off things and rolling after, and now that im starting parkour it really comes in handy, also i just started practicing the Kong vault and i got it down first try, it was another move i had already known :P So just being active in general came in handy big time
Your brothers Parkour roll tutorial was SOOOOO helpful
my "hip bone" was literally never a problem. it's always with my shoulder. im pretty sure its my shoulder blade. always aches and occasionally bruises so im pretty sure im doing something wrong and going on a more vulenrable area. any advice?
Yeah me to I mean it hurts less on my shoulder now that when I first leans the roll but it still hurts a little
same but for me it's thee upper tricep to shoulder that hurts.
Thanks! Now i can roll easily and "not" hurt my shoulder bones.
These guys are the best at explaining!
the best video so far that i have seen about rolling
I have actually learned from this that I used to exaggerate my rolls a bit. And what I mean is that when you said to test the roll tighter with the legs to the chest or looser with the legs out, I figured that if I roll a very slight line from my shoulder I avoid my spine and my hip
thank you so much! I've been practicing the roll for awhile now and I've always hit my shoulder really hard, but now it doesn't hurt all.
I dont know where i'd be without these videos,

Thank you for this! Emphasizing the fundamentals is always important, and it seems to me that no matter the discipline, the new practitioners always want to skip them.

I try to diagonal roll from shoulder to hip. I had a back surgery a few years ago that stiffened my back to stay straight or even slightly bent inward, so my back can't really round out to roll. Whenever I try to diagonal roll, I end up doing it all the way down my spine instead or I end up rolling from side to side (like kids do down hills). Help?
Thank you so much for the vid! Now I can do my roll much better! :D
I like you video can you show how to jump and roll
I'm in pain right now and this Is a BASIC move. I don't like hospitals but I do like parkour
Hey guys I love your videos and I have a quick question. So I learned the parkour roll and it works great but would you suggest learning how to roll over each shoulder?
2 questions:
1-whats that move called when your standing on higher ground like a wall or box, and you drop off and push yourself away at the same time
2-could you do a tutorial on that please
Could you give us a few exercises to build our legs for the roll?
I'm 9 and this video totally just made me master it thank you
THAAAANKKK YOUUUU!!!!! I LEARNED TOO MUCH .. THANKS !! ;)
Thanks, this helped a lot, but what I'm having trouble with is I have pain in wrists when I do the roll, if you can help me out, Iit would be very helpful, thank you!
This helped a lot, I was often hitting my shoulder when I was landing. Luckily it was on grass not on concrete!
1:38 i don't know why the finishing position of the rolls feels uncomfortable on my knee which is on the ground like turning my leg inwards at the knee joint
Have you ever thought of doing a Parkour in the park, or parkour class in the DFW area?
tappbrothers, do you mind If I use this video to practice on my channel?
I beat my shoulder up trying to learn it now I found this so I must try it
Got any tips for rolling with something in your hands? For instance a bow.
Do a side angle slow mo role that will really help thx
Plz can u make a tutorial about car wheel plz I really need it
hey tapp bros, sometimes I notice you tuck your leading elbow towards your body when rolling over it and sometimes internally rotate it so it looks like you roll over that whole arm. does it depend on how high you jump from how you angle t the elbow of the arm that you roll over? cheers
Hey tapp brothers! Just have a question for you guys.When I do the parkour roll on a soft patch of grass, I am able to do it but when I do it somewhere else then my shoulders aches really bad.Why is that so?
Hey, I'm just wondering if you can give me any tips on confidence so I can do this on concrete because I like climbing the wall beside my house, but every time I get down, I have to sit on the edge and fall. I get sick of this and I WOULD roll on the concrete but I don't have the confidence to. Tips and help?
I've been doing parkour for a year now and I used to have the same problem. The way i got over my fear was to crouch on the wall and slide off, and from then i'd progress to a standing position. good luck bro!
Thanks very much for the help but TBH I was kinda askin for help about the rolling part ;)
start off from a kneeling position and tuck in tight. once you're comfortable from a kneeling position, stand up and slowly work your way into a roll. NB. start off going very slowly! DON'T RUSH THINGS!
Practice rolling on concrete a lot, and if it hurts watch the intermediate roll tutorials by Amos Rendao. Then do a tuck jump into landing roll. Hope this works
