At this point I am sticking to pure parkour because I am a traceur myself and not really a freerunner. I may decide to do a short on it at some point (especially the front flip as it can actually be utilized for efficiency) but I aim to get through all the basic parkour movements before I begin delving any further into freerunning science.
Enjoyed the video and loved the proposal of the channel, I am fascinated by parkour and physics, and had never seen anything like that. So thanks for the knowledge and please continue making videos. Greetings and thanks from Brazil
I have watched your videos and I gotta say I think what you´re doing is great. It´s helping us a lot out there, while training. And I have a question regarding my conditioning for parkour: I have studied a bit a book called "Convict Conditioning" and even though I have become a lot stronger, I don´t think I will be fit for performing one arm push ups WITH THE FEET TOGETHER. Is it even possible? I just ask because I´ve never seen it done! Thanks for your help!
Well, if you say it's possible, then maybe one day I'll be able to perform it. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to watching your next video. Are you going to come up with a video on the conditioning exercises for parkour? I would like to see one of your explanations on it, especially on the handstand push up variations. Again, thanks!
The roll video is going to be a massive undertaking so I have put it off for a little while. I recommend until then this video. (I threw a link in the description) These guys antics are a tad over the top and not all of their science and explanations are exactly correct (pretty much no ones is at this point) but their teaching guide here and techniques for improving the roll are spot on.
Hallo from Australia. These vids are awesome, you're brilliant man! Please quit your time-consuming job and make Parkour videos full time :) Seriously though, giving the G-forces of different landings really makes it clear, you're saving thousands of people from arthritis with these equations. Keep up the good work.
So I was really hoping you would have done more of a study on the parts of the foot, physiology of the ankle, and how different angles and positions of the joints effect impact in landing. For example, whether landing with the knees pointing outward away from the body (and the knee joint ending beyond the position of the feet) has any advantages or disadvantages compared to landing with the knees almost directly above or even behind the position of the feet, in relation to the force going into the knee joint. More specifically, would landing with the knees too far ahead of the feet cause force through the femur downwards and put pressure on the patellar ligament and cause inflammation, for example jumper's knee? Anyway that's just one example of things I was hoping you might research more in depth.
Foot and ankle flexion I admit I haven't done extensive research on. The outward knee placement does allow for greater flexion and thus better impact reduction. As far as Jumpers knee I wish I could say I know more as to what increases or decreases the possibility of stress injuries like that but its unfortunately outside my field of study.
Not for quite a while. I will make a front flip one not too far off and maybe a single more generalized freerunning concepts video but specific techniques wont be done until I have exhausted all the primary parkour techniques.
Love these videos,I actually plan on going to college to study kinesiology and related sciences. Do you have any tips for getting into parkour related sciences?
Thanks. Take physics as well, it will help a lot (some kinesiology programs don't require it, but should) also most importantly you have to spearhead it. If you want to learn/research the science behind parkour or really anything outside the norm, be assertive and ask to do it. Usually professors will allow you to do it through an independent study course if you make a case for it.
I'd really like a video about the roll. Like especially what is the most efficient way to roll, cause there are several theories about that to. I really need a way to not hit that hip bone every time :P
Hard to say. Working on two new videos but I also work 55 hours a week now, so finding time can be a challenge. I will try to get it done as soon as I can. Thanks.
At this point it's whenever I get them done... they take alot more work than they look like unfortunately... I am hoping to get to one every month eventually but I have a new full time job so it may be slightly less often... I will do my best.
That's an easy request :P That's what I have been working on for the last 8 months. Should be done in the next month or so. (Also it is probably the most interesting one so far... at least it has been for me.)
Oren Matar Sorry yeah still working on it... had some hangups... like dislocating my ankle. If you want feel free to email me a video of your current attempts of it shot from the side and I can try to help you out in lieu of the new video. parkourscience@gmail.com
It is possible but significantly more difficult. Not having the feet spread means your arm must both balance as well as lift you, also the angle removes the ability of some of the arm muscles to help. It can be done, but I will never be able to do it :P
Levi's- A lot of the physics he explains (the surface area, the tuck to increase speed, and the transfer of momentum ) is not actually correct (they are common mistakes)... but more importantly the technique he uses and explains is perfect. LeFlair's roll tutorial is not as good honestly, you can get a good roll out of it with practice but he makes a few mistakes. Conditioning makes a fair difference. Stronger legs means improved maximum impact reduction as well as higher max drop capability.
I should clarify- the physics explanations he uses are common mistakes... the use of those techniques are not, they are just not being done for the reasons given.
This series is perfect. Thank you for doing this research and shining light in some places that some of our brains refuse to venture!

Sorry guys, messed up the audio the first time and had to re-upload.
Another great video. I knew it was hard to stick a landing at those speeds but didn't know it was physically impossible.
Well, if you say it's possible, then maybe one day I'll be able to perform it. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to watching your next video.

Thanks so much. It means a lot to me to have the support. (And boy do I wish I could quit my job and do this full time.)
Will there be any freerun vids
When will the next vid come up

MOAR!! Pls?
can you do one about Kongs? I would love to see the physics!!
That's an easy request :P That's what I have been working on for the last 8 months. Should be done in the next month or so. (Also it is probably the most interesting one so far... at least it has been for me.)
ParkourScience is it still coming out? i'm having difficulties with the technique and your videos can really help

ParkourScience so good to hear that the series is still continuing. I thought it got discontinued or something.
ParkourScience don't want to rush you, but i really want to see the kong vid, the physics behind it sound so interesting! is it still coming out?
Yep. Feel free to re-submit comments/questions.
It is possible but significantly more difficult. Not having the feet spread means your arm must both balance as well as lift you, also the angle removes the ability of some of the arm muscles to help. It can be done, but I will never be able to do it :P
MORE VIDS :D
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
Reuploaded because of the sound?
Yes definitely.

Thank you for answering my question! :D

Hahaha lol, Female parkour roll... yes that is a thing :P
