Unreal dom, that was gnarly! Great insights too 🙌 the king of comebacks
🫶🫶
did Jan do it too?
@@Nilz4FR no
Different minerals, man. Different minerals.
Phenomenally handled by Sam
So much love to Sam Carter!
You kept things together and stopped Dom moving around. Thank you!
Yeah! Top notch!
We often like to pretend that this isn’t a reality of the sport. That our overwhelming experience and skill has the ability to diminish the inherent risk involved with these challenges.
But the reality is that this can happen to any of us at anytime, and the stakes are higher when the severity of the challenge increases, along with degrees of freedom and the room for human error expands.
Ultimately, this scenario demonstrates the value of having a team of individuals who can remain calm and collected, and why everyone who trains Parkour needs some foundational level of first aid.
I’m glad you came away relatively unscathed Dom, and I hope the shoulder is healing well.
Flips make Parkour 100 times more dangerous.
I was so confident, overly confident, and when you start to lose respect for the risk, that's when things can get bad. I did a big front, after getting completely soaked, even though I didn't feel comfortable doing it wet I thought 'I've done hundreds of these, what's the worst that can happen?' Destroyed my knee and took over a year to recover.
3 minutes of seizure is terrifying I really hope you’re okay dom.
This was in February, we are in the clear 🙌
@@DomTomatoOk good I’m glad you’re okay mate be safe out there!
@@DomTomato I don't know if that's even a "seizure". You got knocked out and trying to breathe uncomfortably. Happens all the time in MMA/boxing, dudes take a nap and snore loudly.
@@DomTomato We've been waiting for this video since February. Goddammit. This was a savage fall for sure. You got balls to continue after this, I'd be like- we're done here, now only jumps in the pool and sand.
@@gc99289 Or he becomes like Sebastian Foucan (founder) who only does basic Parkour without the "challenges" because he's in his 50s.
I had an accident in 2021 that broke every rib on my right hand side, with ribs 2 - 9 being a flail segment which also resulted in a pneumothorax and a retro peritoneal haemorrhage (punctured lung and torn aorta). I never recovered fully so seeing you doing 10m diving fronts to sand just a few months after yours is EXTREMELY inspirational.
Somehow predicting the story arc 😂🙌
@@sepiarain broken ribs are painful. the worst is the anticipation when you feel a sneeze coming 🤣
Hahaha, well, I do watch Schlappen... Bro, I'm shook by that video. Firstly, your buddies handled the situation PERFECTLY... I also have footage of my accident, I also blanked out and I was lucky that the first on the scene were first-aid trained and made me stay still and wait for help. Secondly, the mental rut and state of reflection you were in afterwards was very probably a sneaky symptom of PTSD. I've needed 3 rounds of trauma focused therapy because of PTSD - I had no idea the ways in which it was eating away at me... I would say be mindful of the head spaces you find yourself in for at least the next 18 months, especially as you were unconscious and have memory loss - it's a weird thing to get your head around but just because you can't recall it doesn't mean your brain wasn't completely consciously trying to get you through every minute of that traumatic episode, and part of the mechanism is your brain represses the experience into your subconscious where it can't hurt you. The low/post accident blues you felt may well find buoyancy in the mind-stream again,
just be gentle with yourself if this does happen. What kills me most is I began to withdraw, I stopped doing the things I loved and stopped nurturing connections I had with people, this includes my family, my Partner who eventually left me, my friends and even my own children. The last round of therapy I had really enabled me to unpick all of this, but it's an ongoing journey. But then, no one ever said "just get back out there and do something that terrifies you!" to me, and maybe that would've helped - Your 10m diving front flip to sand (absolutely insane!) might actually be all the medicine you need. 🙏
@@sepiarain What kind of accident it was?
@@sepiarainДоброго времени суток! Занимайтесь упражнениями Ниши, они полностью восстановят ваше Здоровье! Они очень простые не связаны с огромным напряжением,но всё же надо применять волевые усилия. Они направлены на востановление нормального кровообращение! что важно! И ещё нужно следить за питанием. Питание должно быть натуральным, без химии.Больше растений,овощей и фруктов, меньше мясных продуктов. Утром лучше каши, а для белка подходят куриные яйца или сыр. Сладкое Нельзя! Или ограничить его употребление до 1канфеты в день! Мёд можно 1столовую ложку утром и вечером.Все вредные привычки исключить, кроме хорошего вина, 1бокал в день можно!Натуральное питание нужно для очищения крови. Далее, исключить перекусы, есть не более2-3раз в день! Ну и молитва утренняя и вечерняя! Через 3месяца Вы будете полностью Здоровы!
Dom is one of the most under-subscribed athletes in the world. People subscribe to pure garbage but somehow overlook pure gold. Stay safe, Dom. Health is wealth 💪
Мне тоже не понятен такой расклад.. Они просто дурни, отказываются от такого Счастья:наблюдать что делают действительно талантливые, одарённые спортсмены..
The algorithm punishes "risk takers"... I remember when the Karens demonitized storror. YT is not a friendly place for real athletes.
@@robmorgan1214 1in4 Videos get demonetised
3.2m on the ‘gram isn’t bad
True. Best not to think about it too much.
Damn man what a journey! And what a way to mark a comeback then with a world record front flip 🤣
Thanks legend 🙏🙏
There is no shame in taking a step back and being happy with what you have brought to the sport. You see a lot of athletes step away from the sport entirely after a certain point, Tony hawk is a great example of someone who shares your new mindset and has continued to do what he loves throughout his life. There will always be ways for you to involve yourself with furthering the sport without putting your body on the line. You're an inspiration man, stay up
Those are some real friends for real.
not really they are just filming acquantainces, real friend would have had a mat there or at least stayed there at the bottom to try to catch him if things go wrong
@@Surteronarto tell me you've never watched parkour without telling me you've never watched parkour
@@SurteronartoI can kinda assume you’ve never had a friend
@@Surteronarto Friends belive in you and don't doubt your abilities.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. What knocks you out only makes your head hurt. So glad you're alright. Cheers to everyone that was there to help him NOT GET UP and keep him safe. Insane last jump as well. Such an inspiration for us older athletes (let's be honest, we aren't spring chickens anymore). I could only hope to be able to take falls half as good as you nowadays. Keep moving everyone. Dom shows us our bodies can take more than we think (safely).
Cheers legend! good luck out there on the slopes!
Thanks for being so open about your recovery! Really helps put things into perspective for me
You are so welcome!
You have really great friends Dom! They were very considerate and caring when you needed it most!
Props to Sam Carter for handling things so well after your fall - I think very few people would have the strength of mind to stay calm in that situation and keep you safe until the paramedics arrived 👏🚑💨
The 10m high frontflip in Essen/Germany 🇩🇪 together with Team Schlappen is parcour history and was legendary Dom.
Greetings from Cologne/Germany 🇩🇪
i am phenomenally happy this video ended not only with reconciliation but on a victorious note of the behemoth dive. Dom you're The athlete, wishing you a victorious era
The key is learning that your identity is not in parkour. Its in yourself. When you accept that you learn so much more than just doing bigger and better in just 1 area of your professional life. You can do it anything you want to. Much love and respect Dom. Always love your work. I remember supporting Cyril and David back in the day when no one knew who they were at all. Do you remember Kampfansage team as well?
Thank you for your words of wisDom! Still trying to bounce back since my 2 accidents that happened almost 4 years ago, one being hit by a car crossing the street, and the other flipping over my bike cause my sweater got caught in the front tire. Resulted in a fractured skull, temporary loss of hearing in one ear for months and a 15 minute seizure also. Still dealing with chronic pain and PTSD, been missing a sport that was my life and way of connecting with people and my body. Your outlook was a great refresher for me, wish you heal up 100 percent soon and keep making lasting memories for all of us. Lastly, say hi to your Mom for me!💜
Helping young athletes to improve is a fantastic way to stay involved with the sport as you get older. Much respect Dom, I hope you realise that for the community you have already done more than enough awesome shit that we will never forget. One of the GOATs for sure
This is the first Dom video that truly made me cry. I am so glad that you decided that big sends are for fun just like the rest of your movement and your coaching is for fun.
That was worth it for that final jump 🔥
Always finish big!!
nah that was worth it for the whole journey!
@@DomTomatoОтличная шутка Доминик😂
Wow, that was intense...
Glad you've recovered well!
haha just a little bit intense... Cheers, happy to be back hunting
I fear a bit that Dwayne wants to go even bigger. Hope you all survive that with minor injuries. Take into account to get yourselves to ambulance level and take propper equipment with you so you can help your buddies with all that is needed. Waiting for ambulance with major injured buddy on ground is the worst experience you can have aside being the one down. I love yall mates.❤❤❤
3:03 I've seen similar accidents couple of times and it's always while the person is doing some sort of flip / twist. It's as if in that very brief moment, your eyes confuse the wall and the floor - it can be seen by the way you opened up so early. It's amazing that you got out of it without any major injuries.
Yeah. I really dislike flips for how dangerous they make Parkour.
I think it's good that you show the reality of the sport too. If you only showed yourself doing flawless superhuman feats, then kids coming up might not have the proper respect for the danger involved. You always have to be careful of head trauma. It often can cause anxiety and depression to creep in. My son had issues with that after a gnarly gokart accident. It took about 6 months for him to be right again.
That was so scary. You have amazing friends. I hope you show them you love them as much as you should!
All these injuries to the body will become clear and reported later!
I did breakdancing for years, I hit my knee really hard on the concrete, I couldn't perform, but I didn't call a doctor, I didn't go there. I thought it would heal, but today, 20 years later, I have huge problems when I go jogging or when there's a storm! I hope Bro that won't be the case for you, I like watching you and love you brother, you have a good honest heart
Да, дружище, это так.. Была потеря сознания 20минут..К тому же он сбежал из больницы. это ужасно, такое безответственное отношение к своему здоровью, тем более серьёзное сотрясение мозга, оно даёт тяжёлые нарушения здоровья в будущем..
Dom, I've been following you and Schlappen including Jan for about 5 years now. This was a wonderful, humbling and amazing video. Thanks for keeping it real while at the same time performing above olympic level.
Please stay healthy and wish you a quick full recovery of past injuries.
Holy shit man glad you're okay, you have some good friends keep them close!❤
Your recovery speed always surprises me. Glad you're ok. Your videos are always so enjoyable
JAN and DOM = FRONTFLIP BROTHERS 4 PRESIDENT!!!! 🤩❤🔥
The way you described the memory loss thing is exactly how I explain my motorcycle wreck to people. I was hit at 88kmh from behind on my motorcycle and broke 5 ribs, lost my spleen and broke my pelvis in half and shattered my left hip socket, but I don’t remember it happening and woke up a week later. It was like I went to sleep except when I woke up I could hardly breathe. 5 broken ribs are no joke, and one of them punctured
My lung. But the concussion blackout was spot on like you said.
Занимайтесь по системе Ниши и поправитесь!
Been training parkour for years now and this vid got me feeling the way others feel with their worry about me. Congratulations I feel like your mom now. You got me 😂😂😂
You are one of my favorite athlete in the world love the vibe between you and Jan ...
At 47, I'm too old to risk serious injuries sending it big outside, but I enjoy coaching the younger athletes and I still enjoy moving my body in challenging and creative ways.
Hell yea this guy is no joke. These jumps are incredible. This I’m sure gives the same kinda feeling as skateboarding gives you. Definitely relatable for sure ❤
Great video as always. After watching this, I'd be kinda curious to hear you talk about the scariest jumps you've ever done (as in, the hardest to overcome mentally for you, at the time they happened [or didn't]). Maybe there's something surprising there?
I’ll have a think on it! Thanks 🤩
Dude I havent seen a video in a year or so.
Come back and see this insane flip, that one that buggered your shoulder.
You're a f'ing beast dude.
One of the best athletes this country has ever produced, your up there with Bradman, Ablett, Freeman ect
If you haven’t seen the Freerunning Schlappen video where that 10m front flip Dom did is from….check it out! The whole video is a beast and then to see how geeked he got after doing that flip is great. You could tell he was flying high after conquering it! Amazing stuff Dom
I'm just a spectator. Not in this sport. But what I can tell you Dom, is that injuries sustained in youth can become miserable later in life. You've done incredible things. There is nothing you need to prove at this point. Congrats for all your successes.
This video was real. Thanks for sharing Dom. You're living the life so many of us gave up due to injury. You're an inspiration. Please stay safe though dude.
Crazy! I think it really demonstrates humilty that you show your fails, especially when you're such a high level skilled pk athlete. Great vid 🔥🔥🔥can't wait for the new stuff!
One of a kind gets thrown around too much Dom. You embody the essential impossible coming true that parkour was for me. Hats off
Dude seriously take care of yourself your a mad man and dont want you to be badly injured Injured myself a lot doing this stuff when young Be careful out there
Fucking epic video! I almost cried watching you hit your head and hearing you have a seizure even knowing you came out of it ok. Then hearing your doubts, then seeing you just crush that last jump, fantastic!
wow! You're something else, man! Please be safe! You've done enough in the sport. Just chill out...we want you around for a long time, with your brains intact!
This video is a genuine gem. Everything yoy say about the sport is so true and well put together. Your performance has been and will for ever be extraordinary and so influential to so many people who started doing things BECAUSE of you. You are a massive inspiration to the sports. Parkour will never lose or forget you.
Thank you for being you, Dom! ❤❤
Thank you so much! ☺️✌️
I love hearing your experience Dom! In August I tore my ACL and September my meniscus and not doing any parkour was such a bummer and it was really hard to get out of the house. I like what you said about taking joy in the soft things and not overloading my body. It's almost been six months since surgery and I haven't done a flip on the ground still but it's so encouraging to see you always back at it after injuries.
That was a heavy smack on the head. I did NOT like seeing that at all. But it is good to show this can happen when training in a sport like parkour. Thankful that you are ok and it’s so good that you have the friends you do have - they did a great job of keeping you still and did exactly the right thing after the accident. I know what it’s like to recover after a bad accident and the headspace that it can put you in. Keep strong Dom. I would love to see some of your rehab for the shoulder injury etc. ✌️
It's incredible you're documenting these things for us to learn from. Also shout out to Capstone, being there and giving you space in that moment.
Watching this with 8 weeks to go on my broken heel. Idk if I feel inspired or terrified of what I do next. But thanks for reminding me there is a next!
Good team in place, it makes all the difference. Had a mate nose dive his bike about 20 foot, spark out for minutes, broken neck. Gotta keep people down until the bus arrives
Respect. To get up after that head injury is wild. Keep being positive. Head injuries can suck learn term. I know.
That was insane and hard to watch. Glad your still got you head on your shoulders mate.
Очень сомневаюсь что у него,, голова на плечах,, Он сбежал из больницы, не прошел ни обследование,ни лечение и опять собирается на какую то паркур тусовку...Нет слов от такой тупости,но на вид он кажется довольно умным😢
Glad you recovered - Last trick is insane. Gotta get super slowmo some time!
This is so relatable even outside of athletics and into any endeavor, especially when you reach high levels in what you are dong. Going back to the beginning is such an insightful way of regaining purpose. Push on!
Good lord, even knowing you were eventually okay that was hard to watch. The guys you were with were clutch though, they probably kept it from being even worse. Heroic stuff.
Их поддержка его спасла.. Произошёл выброс энергии, которая ему помогла. Люди это называют Чудом!
Major ups for the fall and recovery, glad you came out practically unscathed!
So many people see parkour and think it’s just recklessly tossing your body around, and that practitioners don’t understand the risks. The way you were able to take a very scary slam (that prob would’ve stopped any normal person from going back) and then work through the mental barriers and come back stronger with your biggest flip yet really shows the strength and fortitude required to consistently perform at such a high level.
Mad props and major respects ❤
Jeesus... the value behind this kind of videos is soo raaw and personal, you trully deserve the spot that you still have in this community man. Big ups to you and just dont k!!l yourself, have a lot of positive energy to bring to us,waay more than just crazy jumps.
Brilliant work on the video brother, great to recap some of your hectic moments, one of the greatest of all time pk athletes for sure ❤
Awww thank you Brian
Only you could make a 10m front a little footnote at the end of a video about something else. That surely deserves its own video! Anyway, what you do is mind-bogglingly amazing. Stay safe please
I have wondered why I do parkour also, definitely been wrapped up in expectations as well, and it has also led to injuries, so relatable. Definitely on a different vibe now, only moving for fun!
I respect you.
I hope your body will recover soon.
From Korea
Dom mate, you are to us what Daniel Ilabaca is to you. And that is to say just a wonderful representation of the fun, friendships, overcoming adversity, building others up, and just legend of the parkour community. As you know Daniel never strived for the status he gained but it was made because he was just a real person and the community recognised that, much the same as we recognise it in you. Hope you stay moving forever man
Aaaaaaaaaa man, you are absolutely incredible!!!!
Mate the whole back and forth with Sam during the seizure actually made me a bit emotional, scary scene that. Final front flip is outrageous. Very well put together video with how it kept levelling up, well done.
so happy to see this, hope you get much of that in near future; people need to undestand life is not a PlayStation game
Thanks to @jan.schlappen for giving his biggest competitor back his inspiration and courage for his sport. This shows how the relationship between the competitors of this sport exists, brotherhood. Welcome back on track, Dom.
This was such a great way to show both realities. Scary at both ends of the spectrum. I really appreciate your choice to share the good, the bad and the ugly with us. Thanks. Great 10m!
Cheers! I think it’s important to show all aspects, can’t hid the reality of it at all!
Oh my god, that’s a crazy injury and the fact that you came out of it a day later is so impressive.
11:54 THATS MY DOM!
Great friends, seriously, keeping you safe after the fall and stopping you from moving. Did everything right.
You are clearly a very robust individual, and have a great team supporting you. Very good to see you have recovered well. Do watch out for that noggin!
At 67 years young, I look back at the stunts my friends and I pulled and we had a bit of Dom in us. But we were not even close to what this man has achieved.
Dom is the world’s greatest athlete. The dear Lord above took this phenomenal athlete’s mishap and used this situation to not only refocus Dom’s joy in his talent, but to also use his inspiring role model traits to mentor the young athletes.God will continue to reveal to Dom just how special he is.
Cheers mate! And god! 🫶
Mate you are a legend so glad you recovered from it. Stay safe
Береги себя дружище. Ты один из лучших в этой сфере. Горжусь тобой.
5:45 never seen such a good portrait
First of all, big up to all your support and people looking after you on that hit. That must have been hard for everyone. Glad you recovered so fast! Second, when you were talking about endlessly pushing the limit and how it affects your body especially as you get older, well, that reminds me of body building.
Sure its not the same, no crazy juice and diets that mess with you, but the end result is the same. For years and years you push your body to the limit and at some point when you feel at your "peak", it will give completely. In your case, if you dont crush your skull you might break something that will permanently disable you or put you in a wheel chair Ronnie Coleman style.
That said, every athlete knows this, every body builder knows this. The high of the peak might be worth the low for the rest of your life. I think at this point you have set up your happiness to align with doing these wild performances and you might think that without it life wont be the same. Like a super hero losing their powers, could they enjoy living a normal life again after all they have done?
I hope you figure it out. I think with this last segment you made it clear you choose to go out with a bang some day, i respect that too.
Thanks for your insights! From pro to amateur to people who don't do any sports at all - we all can learn from this.
You are a legend man, thanks for many years of entertaiment and being just cool jumping dude.
Glad you are ok, stay safe man :)
Youre ability to bounce back from injury had always inspired me. I used to do very simple and low level parkour a few years ago and i recently started getting back into it; i think its about time i kick it up a notch and steadily push myself to accomplish greater things.
The seizure was hard to watch and the vast majority of people would quit after experiencing something like that, however you are an exception to the masses. Keep at it Dom!
Now that's some real courage!! You are invincible Dom!! keep inspiring!!
just epic man, great recovery!
What a legend, I'm so glad you recovered from your fall! Such an inspiration!
you are already waaaay beyond legendary level dom...if there is ever a reason to still up the game it should def only come from your most inner desire. no one would call you a looser if you would retire tommorrow
Great video Dom. Scary shit how you fell but you seemed to take it pretty well, props to Carter and the boys for staying calm and the ambos for getting there quick.
I'm really glad you were able to shift your mindset despite the multiple setbacks too, I know what it's like and especially when you're used to training at a high level you need good perspective to be able to find the right place to keep moving from
Love 🫶🫶
Eres el mejor!!!!!!! te deseo muchos años más en la cima del Parkour
That last jump lol. I was expecting some sort of roll because I had no idea of the actual height. But nah... Just went splat and bounced up like it was nothing.
I'm so glad this isn't just a narration. Since you appear in the video and it's a retroactive commentary, I can tell you're fine.
12:25 well said.
the storytelling on this is crazy dom !! super interresting and motivating as both filmmaking and athlete
Good on the lads for knowing how to properly respond to what happened and doing it so quickly and calmly, refusing to move you or let you stand up was the best thing possible. I remember a few years back seeing people carrying and moving someone who ended up having a broken pelvis after a slam and being kind of apalled at that level of carelessness that could have resulted in something catastrophic so seeing an actual calm and correct response to a serious injury is great to see.
I know you're feelin dom! I fell over 10m from a tree. Smashd a ground balcony with right foot. Got a 30kg wooden log on on my chest from same height. But no injuries! Hospital checked everything! But ive broken so many bones in other injuries😂😂
That’s insaaane haha cool as though!
@@DomTomato yeah it is insane! But hey! I love you're content! Even with or without the most insane fronts iv'e ever seen!
Glad to actually see good friends for once 🙏 respect to them
Absolutely hardcore legend
Dom you are a force of nature and more than that a very humble human and a mountain of inspiration🙌
I know this might sound stupid, but what if you wear a helmet for that jump. I know it would look stupid, but skaters and bmxers wear them. And if the risk is literally a 4m fall on the head to concrete, it might be something to think about. At least for doing prep attempts, and when you feel you got it, take it off for the money shot.
You got extremely lucky with this one, we just want to see you stay healthy and performing for as long as possible. Take care Dom!
so glad you are okay Dom! An amazing athlete!
It's great that you showed the moments (and minutes) after your fall. Too many times people see the spectacular jumps, and sometimes a few falls and mistakes, but never the consequences. We need to be aware that this IS dangerous, and what better way than listening to someone else painfully snoring on the hot tarmac. It sounds scary enough to be a reminder we're all just a pile of bones and meat and (not too much) brain :D
Glad you're fine now :)
And the jump that made it! Wow. Is 10m a record to firm sand ?
I like the topic of injuries and how to recover, do more pls
Keep doing your thing Dom, and enjoying your life! You're an incredible athlete
Thank you! Will do!
