Just signed up. I wanted to sign up at the holidays, but finally pulled the trigger. Have been going to weekly meetings since August. It is a really great community in DC! Hope you visit soon.
Very inspirational story inspired me to give parkour a try it sounds fun and I've always wanted to do it and now I have started practicing at my house I doubt I will get as good as you but I'll still try you are a really cool guy and I want to be just like you :)
Woah, this was an experience. The way you mixed in your run with your older training clips toward the end was pulse-pounding. I know how the story ends and I was still so hyped. The music, the editing, the storytelling -- What an inspiring video!
Hello everyone, friends, my name is Shukhrat, I’m from Uzbekistan, I’m 25 years old, I just started doing Parkour, I really like it, in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 I’m the first Parkourist, I want to open a big Parkour hall and gather my teams on the way to the dream
@user-tk7rw3dd4h they only do acrobatics and that’s all, but I haven’t seen one in Parkour until this moment and I still haven’t, I was the very first to start Parkour and I will show my homeland Uzbekistan What is Parkour
When you paralleled the images of you training vs what you were doing in the competition, my eyes flooded... Thank you for that! I'm gonna have my first competition in June, and I'm preparing like crazy... This video made me believe
Aw man, thank you 😭🥰 wish you all the best! Focus on what you are good at, don’t let the others practice intimidate you. People usually only do 50% of what they prep in the actual run 😆
As a kid, I was obsessed with the first video you mentioned, I think it was called "urban ninjas", coolest thing ever 😎 Cheers Jason, always an inspiration.
Ich erinner mich noch heute an die ersten tutorials die ich von dir geguckt hab um anzufangen, schon vor jahren hast du es mir 'more accecible' gemacht und mir für meine zukunft ein ganz neues sportliches skillset und inspiration geliefert. Ich war schon immer ein großer fan, Danke das du mir und vielen auf deine weise diesen Sport näher gebracht hast
That montage of your training vs competition at 14 minutes gave me actual goosebumps! Full on anime inspired! I loved that. I still remember being at the London Art of Motion with my parkour boys and we walked past you by the riverside and my friend and I looked at each other and said "was that Jason Paul?" The Barclay competition was also the reason I started doing parkour at 21 years old, but it was more because I went to school with Tim and saw him win and I thought "yo if he can get 1st place, I can at least give it a try!" Just like you, I spent my whole childhood idolising super heros, spiderman and Power Rangers but not actually realising that it was possible for everyday human beings to do this too. Parkour was the highlight of my 20s and took me around the world, despite being very average at it. At 35, I don't jump nearly as much as I used to - but the spirit is still in there! I jump and climb with my 2 year old daughter when other dads are sitting by the sides. I even did a sideflip of a floor trampoline at the kids park this morning. And this year I've done two TV commercials with some simple parkour skills. TLDR: Great video, appreciate the efforts man
Thanks so much for sharing your story and so cool that we crossed paths 😃 I totally get why you would slow down, I feel like once you absorb the parkour spirit it becomes part of your personality and doing it physically is not as important as it was when we learned the philosophy behind it. Wow, that came out very deep, hope it makes sense 😄
ich find die einzelnen clips und dein storytelling echt mega. war damals mit deinem bruder in der grundschule und die ganzen verschiedenen orte wieder zu sehen, egal ob die alten schaukeln im heisenrath, goldstein süd, die staustufe, oder niederrad machen mich richtig nostalgisch hahaha. danke für die aufnahmen jason!
Haha oh mann, mich auch alter! Hab beim Schneiden gedacht es wäre doch geil an den selben Spots wieder Action zu filmen, aber so viele gibt es halt gar nicht mehr 🥲
Your story is sounding similar to mine lol, I started off in my backyard with my best friend last year. Can’t wait to see what my future holds for me! 😅
@@TheJasonPaul Thanks, I've been playing around with it more and more this year... my channel's a martial arts channel, but I've been so into practising parkour, that i'm doing more and more videos combining each lately. :) I'm 39 and have a son to deliver in kindergarden before work and take care of when I come home from work... so sometimes I can integrate it into play with him, and sometimes I'll just stop somewhere for like 5 mins when going from A to B to try something out, so it's a slow process. But it helps that I can sometimes do stuff like that with kids at work as a pegagouge, and that I have that wall at home :p :)
Mate your content this past 8 months since making your UA-cam return has been so good, this one particularly. How you've alternated your competition & training footage (13:56) is such a nice touch, got me feeling a bit emotional hahaha. Hope this video gets more recognition, my favourite from any parkour channel in a while.
Firstly CONGRATULATIONS !! To get so good so fast, i believe that is passion + constant hard&fun training. I did biketrials starting 14 age with passion, lots of training and became very good in few years. Congratulations for a very good video, storytelling. It has been inspiring to see your journey. I am thinking to get your course because i do not know anyone in my area that does parkour and i would like to learn basics for fun.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻 it’s crazy how fast progress can happen, still surreal for me looking back. Check out the in depth guide I uploaded on this channel a few months back, it gives you a good idea of what’s in the course 😊
Wow, I love this video and your story - you tell it in such an enthusiastic humble way it’s really compelling! Congrats on all your achievements so far!
Yeah man, and I saw you once in Matera red bull art of motion but you were working, didn’t see you out of the arena to take a photo with you… some day.. if you keep doing these jams in Germany I may come visit!!
you are a gift to those of us just starting , we have you , we have the time and we have all we need to start training so it would be realy lame to keep making excuses , it's time to start doing what i have always dreamt to
Such a cool video! It's crazy how much our sport has evolved since then!!! I see 15 year olds on Instagram doing double bar gainers as their warm up before hitting triples and kong gainers now haha. Loved seeing all the old clips of you training, super inspiring! Thanks ❤
You're such an inspiration man! Can't wait until I can finish school and move into the city. I'll be able to learn so much more. This video was done so well!
I really feel it. I saw the same videos and I really started with parcour. However I ended like most things in my life. Maybe now that I am 40 years old I should start again.
i remember when I was 12 and use to watch every vedio you make and now 5 years laiter and u post this i cant help but feel how similar our storys are 😂. It's grate progressing and slowly but surely day by day I get better and better :D thank you
thanks for saying that! I want more people to know that this is not a crazy thing that just happened to me, everybody can enjoy Parkour that way and progress :)
Brooo that exact ninja training camp video (and also Damien Walters) really got me into parkour as a teen! Keep smashing it lad you've progressed so much! 🔥🔥
Thank you ☺️🙏🏻 that’s such a big topic, I will think about it for a while and maybe a good angle comes to mind. I definitely want to do a video talking about all my injuries 😆
Yes, your parkour skills are amazing. But we can't ignore your film making skills either. You're really good. Not many videos make me emotional, but you being in the finals, and match cutting to you practicing, and now doing those moves in the finals, made me tear up. Amazing video, great story telling, and great charisma
I've started around the time you started, my path was almost exactly the same as yours, but at some point, when I lost my training companions, I stopped... Last year after 15 years (being 30+) I came back, we'll see what I can achieve at that age. :)
Thank you Jason for creating these videos. I am really being inspired by them from the artful aspect of life and movement. I am not doing parkour but I am taking the inspiration from your videos and your POV and growth into my own fields and apply them in my own unique way. Thank you for sharing your message with me.
As I always comment under your videos, you are not only a great parkour athlete, but also a fantastic storyteller and cinematographer. I hope you will continue making videos forever and that someday we can work on a project together :D
I loved this video so much ! I had the same problem to start and spent almost a year doubting, practicing in secret inside my home…before I went outside haha. I started in 2010, and seing all these clips reminded me of the competition I was watching online. Parkour is such a beautiful sport. Even thought I stopped practicing I still cherish it in my hearth and it gave me the discipline and physical ability to start paddling in a dragon boat competitive team, be selected in the national team and win some gold medals last year…and I owe it to this sport and culture (parkour).
It’s so crazy how many similar stories there are 😃 so cool to hear how you used it as a base to then go into something that seems so different. Right on!
Sehr gut und inspirierend!👍🌺🤗I can especially relate to the times when you lacked anyone to train with. I can’t find anyone locally😕But a story like yours helps motivate me. Dankeschön Jason😊🇨🇦
I’m currently 21 years old from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’ve been on a journey and currently have lost over 45kgs in 2 years.. that with therapy on the side.. I’ve been thinking of getting into Parkour and I’ve found a club which is close by but also a Gymnastics club is well.. I hope one day I can meet people who love parkour and want to get better.. seeing your video made me happy seeing your progression.. I can’t wait to do my first flip and be able to make parkour/ Free running my life. I hope everyone has a great day/night and.. wish everyone luck to there own journey in parkour
that's so awesome man! mad props for all the progress you've made! I'm sure you can, Australia has a strong Parkour community and they are always open to beginners. Keep moving! :D
@@TheJasonPaul Thanks ^^.. I know that main 2 are Melbourne Parkour academy and Melbourne in Motion.. I’ll do an update if I can on my journey ^^ but have a good day dude!
Unique talent, exceptional work ethic and a smart worker. I remember MANGA when you twisted your ankle and afterwards straight up hopped on the bar, and trained muscle ups and pullups instead of flips and how on Nye you managed to do an insane amount of pushups by putting it into manageable chunks. Kudos man!
Always fun to watch your video. Growing up, Storm Freerun, David Belle, Damien Walters and Team Farang were the videos that made us started parkour. After doing it for 4 years, I just heard the Redbull Art of Motion, since we had no internet connection back then ; anyway, it was more fun and interesting at the first 5 years for me
Loving these new videos and I'm glad to see most of the internet is too. Just wanted to know if the Dame Du Lac is still open to the public for climbing. I saw some google maps photos of it fenced off with caution sighns.
I'm 12 years old and have been Doing parkour for a couple of months now and I've been thinking about giving up on it but this video Has inspired me to Keep going Thank you.
Dude, i just found you randomly. 10:30 i almost shat my pants. At 14:27 i almost cried, because i was so proud. Your editing from training and clippin' in the competition was eminent. Great fugging job man!
Hey! I have a section on how to find spots in my course. But in short: public parks, universities and around big apartment or office complexes is usually a good place to start spot hunting 😁
i just got starded with parkour and it's fantastic and i wanne thank you so much the first time i saw a video from your i writed all down and i had a summery and started it and i'm becomed really good but i have a lot to learn thank you so much your a hero
Hello Jason paul, I also want to become like you, i am working on handstand right now, i have mastered standing back arch, cartwheel, front hand spring,head stand.But there is a lot more flips to learn. I am middle of studying ACCA course. But i will be practicing handstand, flexibility . Hope i can complete my studies fast and join academy so that i can learn everything. Hope you see my message. You are my idol. I don’t like other sports. Only parkour love parkour.
😀 Team Ryouko Friday Madness... das und der erste Matrix Film war auch mein Ausstieg aus der Counterstrike LAN-Party Ära und der Einstieg ins Movement. Sehr nostalgisch... Danke schön für den Reminder
haha ja mann, ich hab irgendwie das Gefuehl bei den Nerds kam Parkour als erstes an, weil wir halt in Foren unterwegs waren wo so Videos rumgeschickt wurden. Und stimmt, Matrix war auch ein riesiger Einfluss!
4:25 That's great to hear, I might actually try my hand at it after hearing that. I might be late in my 20s but thankfully parkour has so many different types of obstacles that I know I can find the best fits for me
Thank you for making this wish this was news to me but again back in 2012 you used to be my idol and i kinda knew most of this story, that said i'd still rewatch this XD and i really love how nostalgic this whole video was "chefs kiss" and yep i started parkour after the japan AoM so this is even better cause it paved the way to my story which isn't gonna be told for a long time, but it'll happen one day and that's a promise ;)
dude, thanks so much and for being a long for the ride. Been to long, since I've seen you. Hope all is well and we get to hang out soon :) Can't wait to see your story put together one day!
I'm impressed man. The bootleg counter strike vids are funny. But you went from looking like one of those kids that will just never get it. Into a fully committed evolution that knew no bounds. I mean, those clips with a cast on your arm are stuff legends are made of. I've always thought you were really good at parkour, since I noticed you sometime around 2012 - 2014. This video says so much about you as a person. Explaining how you lost your training partner and went on alone is comforting to me. I've done A Lot of training by myself over the years. In everything I do not only parkour. My air sense is still underdeveloped.... my rotation game is pretty trash. I'll never give up on it tho. I just have to make time to do more work for it. I've been busy with so much other stuff. I haven't gotten a full month of any kind of training in for a couple of years now. Soon, I'm going to be caught up with the projects I've been devoting the majority of my time to. And then I'll get back to training full time. Even tho my goals are strictly conditioning. No contests or career. Only content. It's guna be awesome. I love the urban ninjas video too. I tried to contact them and move to Canada after I saw it.... felt pretty stupid when I realized it's just 1 of many teams training in a run of the mill facility....lol. I had no idea. What part of your program is focused on air sense and dialing in rotations?
Oh man, thanks for all the kind words and taking the time to write this out of your day :) lol on the urban ninjas story! I get why you'd think that haha Excited for you! The return shall be epic. When it comes to air awareness it was mainly repetition for me. Any trick involving rotation is so disorienting at first, but I found with enough repetition it eventually goes away. The only "hack" I would know is to practice on a trampoline. That way you don't have as much impact, therefore don't get tired as quickly, and can get in way more reps than on sand or grass. The other pointer I can give you are the videos "Blocking by Dogen" and "Center of Gravity by Dogen". Search for those on UA-cam, they are old as shit, but still hold up. If you learn those two techniques properly your head will mostly be closer to your center of rotation during tricks and therefore flips will become less dis-orientating.
I got a 7x12 tramp in 2012 that I used to rep out on. I couldn't dig a hole and put in the ground tho so donated it to a gym in 2020. I had to assemble and disassemble it every time I used it. Incredibly annoying. I have to rep out on 2in floor mats. So I don't shake the house too much....lol
@@TheJasonPaul Super motivierend :) & Vielen Dank aufjedenfall für deinen content all die Jahre! Find ich super das du Videos machst welche zeigen wie schön parkour/Bewegung ist :))
ja klar, easy! also echt, gar keine Frage. Früher geht natürlich immer, aber ich kenn genug Leute die erst in den 20igern oder noch später gestartet haben und super gut geworden sind.
Hii jason how you doing it was good and amazing to hear your journey it was amazing ❤i have been watching you since 2018 and you are so amazing love to see your videos ❤ love from India ❤
Incredible. 2 months ago i started doing parkour. Unfortunately i took on a too big challenge (jump from a barricade 3 meters high) i felt confident before the jump, and when i was there i "shitted my armor" and stood on the barricade, losing my balance and falling on my wrist on the ground. Rn im recovering 2 months left. By this video i understood the basics are the most important (i knew that but just didnt know the border) and ill never make this mistake again. Please to you all who is starting parkour start slow and dont take any too big challenges at the start
@@TheJasonPaul thanks for the kind words. honestly im happy that i broke my hand, i found out that i need to repeat something more, and that it almost did not hurt at all (surprisingly it was just pulsing in some weird way, not really pain) i was always scared of getting an injury and the pain related to it, i think that once ill recover im gonna be a fearless warrior 🤣 with the only fear of elevated barricades. Now every small height with a barricade looks like from a tower, but i feel im going to slowly overcome it. Rn i'm doing a big milk diet and im getting better with each day. PS it happened cus i didnt jump on and then from the barrier i vaulted straight across it and tried Landing down but as i was flying i got scared and everything just fell Apart.
this is an incredible video. you're one of the biggest influencers on my decision to start my channel a month ago. keep it up man, We're gonna collab soon
Are you ready to learn Parkour from ZERO? Master the basics with my Parkour Beginner course: www.levelsmethod.com/takeoff?el=yt
The beginner course is great! But now the people want "The Perfect Second Step" course.
Fantastic video Jason. Very inspirational.

Even thought I stopped practicing I still cherish it in my hearth and it gave me the discipline and physical ability to start paddling in a dragon boat competitive team, be selected in the national team and win some gold medals last year…and I owe it to this sport and culture (parkour).
It’s so crazy how many similar stories there are 😃 so cool to hear how you used it as a base to then go into something that seems so different. Right on!
Beautiful video Jason🙌🏻🫶🏻
Thank you
Sehr gut und inspirierend!👍🌺🤗I can especially relate to the times when you lacked anyone to train with. I can’t find anyone locally😕But a story like yours helps motivate me. Dankeschön Jason😊🇨🇦
stay strong! :D and thank you
I’m currently 21 years old from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’ve been on a journey and currently have lost over 45kgs in 2 years.. that with therapy on the side.. I’ve been thinking of getting into Parkour and I’ve found a club which is close by but also a Gymnastics club is well.. I hope one day I can meet people who love parkour and want to get better.. seeing your video made me happy seeing your progression.. I can’t wait to do my first flip and be able to make parkour/ Free running my life. I hope everyone has a great day/night and.. wish everyone luck to there own journey in parkour
that's so awesome man! mad props for all the progress you've made! I'm sure you can, Australia has a strong Parkour community and they are always open to beginners. Keep moving! :D

Thanks ^^.. I know that main 2 are Melbourne Parkour academy and Melbourne in Motion.. I’ll do an update if I can on my journey ^^ but have a good day dude!
I love this! Thank you Jason!
Yay! So glad!
haven't expected to see the Felsenmeer in a parkour video. nice! keep on the good stuff
Haha such a fun spot!
Unique talent, exceptional work ethic and a smart worker. I remember MANGA when you twisted your ankle and afterwards straight up hopped on the bar, and trained muscle ups and pullups instead of flips and how on Nye you managed to do an insane amount of pushups by putting it into manageable chunks. Kudos man!
haha oh man, you do know! that's a throwback. Thanks :D
Always fun to watch your video. Growing up, Storm Freerun, David Belle, Damien Walters and Team Farang were the videos that made us started parkour. After doing it for 4 years, I just heard the Redbull Art of Motion, since we had no internet connection back then ; anyway, it was more fun and interesting at the first 5 years for me
thank you! I do have to agree, the first 5 years are probably the most exciting.
Jason I would say that your filmmaking abilities are just as good as your parkour skills. Great job!!! 👏
thank you!
Loving these new videos and I'm glad to see most of the internet is too. Just wanted to know if the Dame Du Lac is still open to the public for climbing. I saw some google maps photos of it fenced off with caution sighns.
Thank you 😊 nope, it’s not allowed to climb it. We had no problems shooting there last year, but apparently the locals might call the cops on you
@@TheJasonPaul Thanks for the info. It's sad to see something built for climbing being somewhat taken away from us.
such a experience! Seeing this videos made me feel a bit like a lived it. And thats awsome
oh wow! what a compliment, thank you
Exceptional video! I love it.
very inspiring video good job!
I'm 12 years old and have been Doing parkour for a couple of months now and I've been thinking about giving up on it but this video Has inspired me to Keep going Thank you.
Glad to hear that 😃
Loved this Jason! You're such an inspiration
thank you!
Brooo I just realized you and storror are the ones who made me start parkour!
I feel honored 😃🙏🏻
I haven't seen in a long time a video that makes me go to the edge of my chair (mostly at the end), goddamn. This video deserves more, awesome
One of our Parkour Gems 💎
Thank you for video, its very inspiring
Dude, i just found you randomly. 10:30 i almost shat my pants. At 14:27 i almost cried, because i was so proud.
Your editing from training and clippin' in the competition was eminent. Great fugging job man!
these videos are so inspirational, any tips on places to do it for a beginner?
Hey! I have a section on how to find spots in my course. But in short: public parks, universities and around big apartment or office complexes is usually a good place to start spot hunting 😁
@@TheJasonPaulThanks so much man😅
Incredibly engaging video - enjoyed it throughout. What camera/lens do you shoot for the wide shots? I like that perspective.
thanks so much Nathan! I used a Sony a7iii with the Sony 12-24mm 4.0
I love the beginner course! 🎉
Yay!!
i just got starded with parkour and it's fantastic and i wanne thank you so much the first time i saw a video from your i writed all down and i had a summery and started it and i'm becomed really good but i have a lot to learn thank you so much your a hero
Love from India
You are great ❤️JP
thank you!
Hello Jason paul,
I also want to become like you, i am working on handstand right now, i have mastered standing back arch, cartwheel, front hand spring,head stand.But there is a lot more flips to learn. I am middle of studying ACCA course. But i will be practicing handstand, flexibility . Hope i can complete my studies fast and join academy so that i can learn everything. Hope you see my message. You are my idol. I don’t like other sports. Only parkour love parkour.
I am 20 years old and trying to be fit. Since i am studying a professional course there is a lot to study. But i will master the basics of parkour.
So impressive! Sounds like you are well on your way 😃 keep it up!
@@TheJasonPaulThank you
You’re so inspiring dude
Right back at ya
😀 Team Ryouko Friday Madness... das und der erste Matrix Film war auch mein Ausstieg aus der Counterstrike LAN-Party Ära und der Einstieg ins Movement. Sehr nostalgisch... Danke schön für den Reminder
haha ja mann, ich hab irgendwie das Gefuehl bei den Nerds kam Parkour als erstes an, weil wir halt in Foren unterwegs waren wo so Videos rumgeschickt wurden. Und stimmt, Matrix war auch ein riesiger Einfluss!
4:25 That's great to hear, I might actually try my hand at it after hearing that. I might be late in my 20s but thankfully parkour has so many different types of obstacles that I know I can find the best fits for me
go for it man! was just hanging out with a guy who started Parkour in his 50s. He's loving it and lost a bunch of weight in the process.
Thank you for making this wish this was news to me but again back in 2012 you used to be my idol and i kinda knew most of this story, that said i'd still rewatch this XD
and i really love how nostalgic this whole video was "chefs kiss" and yep i started parkour after the japan AoM so this is even better cause it paved the way to my story which isn't gonna be told for a long time, but it'll happen one day and that's a promise ;)
dude, thanks so much and for being a long for the ride. Been to long, since I've seen you. Hope all is well and we get to hang out soon :)
Can't wait to see your story put together one day!
love this so much Jason
Thank you Lilou ☺️❤️
I'm impressed man. The bootleg counter strike vids are funny. But you went from looking like one of those kids that will just never get it. Into a fully committed evolution that knew no bounds. I mean, those clips with a cast on your arm are stuff legends are made of. I've always thought you were really good at parkour, since I noticed you sometime around 2012 - 2014. This video says so much about you as a person. Explaining how you lost your training partner and went on alone is comforting to me. I've done A Lot of training by myself over the years. In everything I do not only parkour. My air sense is still underdeveloped.... my rotation game is pretty trash. I'll never give up on it tho. I just have to make time to do more work for it. I've been busy with so much other stuff. I haven't gotten a full month of any kind of training in for a couple of years now. Soon, I'm going to be caught up with the projects I've been devoting the majority of my time to. And then I'll get back to training full time. Even tho my goals are strictly conditioning. No contests or career. Only content. It's guna be awesome. I love the urban ninjas video too. I tried to contact them and move to Canada after I saw it.... felt pretty stupid when I realized it's just 1 of many teams training in a run of the mill facility....lol. I had no idea. What part of your program is focused on air sense and dialing in rotations?
Oh man, thanks for all the kind words and taking the time to write this out of your day :)
lol on the urban ninjas story! I get why you'd think that haha
Excited for you! The return shall be epic. When it comes to air awareness it was mainly repetition for me. Any trick involving rotation is so disorienting at first, but I found with enough repetition it eventually goes away.
The only "hack" I would know is to practice on a trampoline. That way you don't have as much impact, therefore don't get tired as quickly, and can get in way more reps than on sand or grass.
The other pointer I can give you are the videos "Blocking by Dogen" and "Center of Gravity by Dogen". Search for those on UA-cam, they are old as shit, but still hold up. If you learn those two techniques properly your head will mostly be closer to your center of rotation during tricks and therefore flips will become less dis-orientating.
I got a 7x12 tramp in 2012 that I used to rep out on. I couldn't dig a hole and put in the ground tho so donated it to a gym in 2020. I had to assemble and disassemble it every time I used it. Incredibly annoying. I have to rep out on 2in floor mats. So I don't shake the house too much....lol
Solo necesitaría superficies suaves acolchonadas para no fracturarme nada. Genial video
muchas gracias!
So cooler Werdegang :) Was eine Lebensveränderung das mit sich gezogen hat :))
super crazy, ich frag mich oft was wohl passiert wäre wenn ich Parkour nicht gefunden hätte
@@TheJasonPaul Super motivierend :) & Vielen Dank aufjedenfall für deinen content all die Jahre!
Find ich super das du Videos machst welche zeigen wie schön parkour/Bewegung ist :))
I love this vid simply because it gives me motivation for some reason
This is prob my favourite video on this channel, rewatching it. What's the name at 1:35 "Joe Ago" or something? :p
Thank you 🥰 it’s Joe Eigo
@@TheJasonPaul Thank YOU :)
This is very inspiring 💪💪💪
Thank you
The editing is on point...
Cheers 😁✂️
i wish i could escape the "nerdy kid" faze.
2:14 NOOOO YOU HIT THE KITTY
10:49 I‘m dying, this is big time oldschool footage hahahaはははxaxaxa
Really great video
Just thanks
Ich bin jetzt 16 und bin am überlegen ob ich auch mit Parkour anfangen soll. Meinst du ich schaffe das noch oder hätte ich früher anfangen sollen?
ja klar, easy! also echt, gar keine Frage. Früher geht natürlich immer, aber ich kenn genug Leute die erst in den 20igern oder noch später gestartet haben und super gut geworden sind.
Ok dann starte ich mit deinem Coaching danke dir
Your best-est video by far in my book. I pressed rewind way too many times while watching. It felt like fucking cinema!!
thank you so so so much, man!
Incredible video!
Thank you!
Hii jason how you doing it was good and amazing to hear your journey it was amazing ❤i have been watching you since 2018 and you are so amazing love to see your videos ❤ love from India ❤
thank you!
❤oh damn legend replied
Big fan from Philippines🇵🇭
what a video! unreal mate
Ed! Will you be able to make a video like this as well? I would love to see it! No pressure of course haha.
thanks, sir!
Incredible. 2 months ago i started doing parkour. Unfortunately i took on a too big challenge (jump from a barricade 3 meters high) i felt confident before the jump, and when i was there i "shitted my armor" and stood on the barricade, losing my balance and falling on my wrist on the ground. Rn im recovering 2 months left. By this video i understood the basics are the most important (i knew that but just didnt know the border) and ill never make this mistake again. Please to you all who is starting parkour start slow and dont take any too big challenges at the start
Ah man, that sucks you had to learn it that way. Wish you a speedy recovery 🙏🏻❤️
@@TheJasonPaul thanks for the kind words. honestly im happy that i broke my hand, i found out that i need to repeat something more, and that it almost did not hurt at all (surprisingly it was just pulsing in some weird way, not really pain) i was always scared of getting an injury and the pain related to it, i think that once ill recover im gonna be a fearless warrior 🤣 with the only fear of elevated barricades. Now every small height with a barricade looks like from a tower, but i feel im going to slowly overcome it. Rn i'm doing a big milk diet and im getting better with each day. PS it happened cus i didnt jump on and then from the barrier i vaulted straight across it and tried Landing down but as i was flying i got scared and everything just fell Apart.
this is an incredible video. you're one of the biggest influencers on my decision to start my channel a month ago. keep it up man, We're gonna collab soon
