@parkourdirk hey dude i love your rolls, and im really frustrated to not getting the roll right, wud u go to my channel and just take a look?, if its too fast, u cud use the spacebar to stop at anytime or keep clicking it to make it go slow mo
ziemlich gut... eine sache aber: du rollst bei 0:38 so ab, dass du nicht den stoß abdämpfst, sondern das du in deiner rolle noch mal springst... kann das schwer beschreiben... wenns hilft is gut aber dürfte eigl nich...
or itll just build your ankle up strong as shit mine does that all the time I tried not doing it and I twisted it, but not I hit my ankle on all kinds of surfaces, and no pain. my skin doesnt even sratch there anymore. just barely
Wow, awesome rolls. Just one little thing. When you roll your left foot hits the ground with its ankle. Try flexing your foot upwards to land on the ball of your foot. This will let you go on running quicker and might stop you from hurting your ankle. :)
Hey danke dir endlich habe ich es verstanden und bekommes hin;)...
@starwarsandhalofan: DIe Bewegung fängt am unter Arm an - Oberarm- Achsel- quer übern Rücken (wenig Wirbelsäulen kontakt) und am Hintern bzw Oberschenkel aufkommen undin die Hocke...soweit ich das verstanden habe
als du angefangen hast parkour auszuüben, hast du die rolle gleich auf asfalt geübt oder hast du erstmal mit einen weicheren untergrund angefangen? hab vor ein paar tagen selbst damit angefangen und nach beispielvideos gesucht zum üben und muss sagen, das ist echt das beste was ich gefunden habe!
Jop, ich hab gleich auf harten Untergründen angefangen. Auf Marmor (so das härteste was ich kenne) sofort. In der Schule, nach der Pause, die Stufen runtergesprungen, und einfach abgerollt. Blaue Flecken für eine ganze Weile, und irgendwann klappte es dann immer besser! :)
Danke für das Lob! Empfiehl das Video ruhig deinen Freunden weiter!
Very good roll, but you have the same problem that I have. You hit your ankle on your way out of the roll...try torquing (turning) your torso while coming out of your roll, and see if that stops you from hitting your ankle.
i think is my arm strength but why you thing is the reason of that i broke my clavicle after doing a roll? i just can remember that my shoulder get down while i was rolling and the noise of my broken bone .
Did you jump down somewhere, and then roll. Or was it while practising the roll? I find it hard to believe that your brones broke while practising the roll.
I can't stress enough, that you should only start jumping from heights when you've mastered the roll. You should be able to unconciously use it after lower jumps (hip height), and only then progress further.
i notice when u jump and roll, u land on the 1,2 motion, try landing with both feet hitiing the ground at the same time. Will help you in bigger drops.
He's right about his left rolls though... he lands too hard-his reflexes want him to stay standing, but hisbody wants to go into a roll, so it takes him time to actually initiate the roll after he lands, which places as much strain as there can be on the spine. I am trying to learn PK myself, but I still am looking for a trainer. I know a few tips about it, but not enough. I just wanted to help Dirk because I would want someone to help me if I was Dirk. Good luck Dirk. PK forever!
rechte schulter zuviel deadfish syndrom. bleib klein in der rotation, sonst passiert das. Impact, der nicht in dieselbe Richtung geht, wie sich das Gelenk bewegen könnte, ist für dieses um vieles belastender.
hat sich ja einiges getan, in den letzten jahren. und nicht jeder erfahrene traceur ist in foren unterwegs. war übrigens nur ein tip. wenn du damit zurechtkommst, jeder hat seinen eigenen stil.
mmhhh habs jetz en schon voll oft auf hartem untergrund probiert aber ich kriegs einfach nich hin ohne das ich mir irgendwelche blauen flecken und andere blessuren zuziehe... : /
wie kriegst du das hin das das garnicht weh tut ? oder tuts jedes mal ein bisschen Weh?
Don't go too fast, and go too high. Try to push yourself forwards a bit, and always stay close to the ground. Don't think of a ball, that is rolling, but think of an egg of sorts. Remember to torque your torso!
It wasn't easy as first. What you see here is the result of training and repeating the movement for over 4 years of training. Keep on trying, and train safe!
I tried your technique from standing still and so far it works the best and I've watched alot of tutorials and this one really helped. Don't see why it isn't more popular =D
thanks so much!!!! your the best. i tryed doing this following other guides and i hurt my shoulder and back a bit trying this then i saw your guide and i got it right. =] 5/5
Nice roll man, really nice. It seems other people are getting defensive on your roll cause they think they have a better one? It doesn't matter if it looks like it hurts, it's the way your body is use to the movement, and how it flows.
The funny part about this is, that very many guys I tought, of different build, weight and physicality, adapted to my way of rolling and their problems (pain on shoulders, loss of momentum etc.) ceased, when they did it the way I advised it. That gives me some justification, doesn't it?
If someone shows me a better way to do and teach it, and has taught as many people as I did in the past, then I'm willing to listen :)
i have tried for a long time, but i cant seem to get this right :(
whenever i roll, no matter how slow or how i place my hands, i always seem to catch either my shoulder or my hip, or both. I cant get the roll across my back to avoid them both. do you have any tips?
Not a bad tut, but i dont like it. Look at second 17, you whole weight is being put on your knee. Tell me that that doesnt hurt.... I used to roll like that but i found out that i needed to kind push with the left arm a little so i could roll a bit sideways. You left shoulder roll seems a lot better but i dont like the fact that your right foot goes in front the left. But then again this is just my opinion.
Maybe your vision is crooked, but I think it's just the trousers' fault:
It does not hurt, because the knee doesn't touch the ground. The contact goes from the thighs to the calves, and it only touches muscular / fatty tissue, no bone structures or cartilege has direct contact to the floor.
Hey, also erstmal klasse video, werds gleich morgen ausprobieren. Dann mal eine Frage: Wohne selber in der Nähe von Köln und wollte fragen, wo denn gute Spots zum üben wären. Haben mal so ein paar Spots in unserem "Dorf" ausprobiert und wollten und jetzt in die Stadt wagen. Hättest du gute Tipps, wo man Anfänger hinschicken könnte?
hi jungs, kommt doch samstags um 12 ur in den Media Park in Köln da trainieren wir immer, ist eine größere Gruppe und ist ideal für Anfänger, offe man sieht sich
I just got your message. You must be a good spotter, besides being a good teacher, to teach rolling in an hour. Just remembering your 'roll from behind your armpit' bit, I rolled painlessly, after a lapse in practise.
Mate, this is awesome footage. Thats quite possibily the best roll ive seen. Textbook, well done, im practicing at the moment a king kong Vault (3ft wall with 7ft drop other side, into a roll, this is on concorete, People dont appreatiate how hard parkour is. Well done tho, u've tought me where i was going wrong.
And be aware when doing that catpass to drop. Most people underestimate the fact, that the catpass requires you to lift your center of gravity quite high over the obstacle itself, resulting in an even higher drop.
Thank you! I'm pretty sure I know what I've been doing wrong now :) Instead of rolling from the forearm all the way diagonally across the back, I was just landing on my shoulder and going from there (which hurts :\).. I hope I get it right now :)
Yes, please come back and tell me when you get it right. If you got any problems feel free to record a short clip of your roll and send it to me, so I can watch it and spot possible mistakes!
Some of your left rolls are similar to your right. I can see from your foot placement. Anyway, nice video bro. It is good that someone has thought of uploading a tutorial demonstrating both left and right rolls.
yeap,this tutorial,is a bit different from the others,it's fabulous detailed,especially for young adults,who don't have enough knowledge to jump safe,without damage,so this vid is great!!
I tried putting my elbow forward, but I hurt my shoulder and hip. My head is near the ground too, but it's not hitting it. In your video it looks like your head is quite far away from the ground..
Are there any excercises that would help in doing a roll?
I don't think there are any specific exercises, but I do find that handstands give you good core stability, so your bones are cushioned by muscles, especially around the shoulder/back area.
And start out with very slow rolls, then you shouldn't be able to hurt yourself if you stay close to the ground.
I can't seem to get this roll. I don't understand how to roll "around" the shoulder. I can also never get the angle. I was using the roll tutorial from 3run and couldn't get that, so i tried this one.
I just cant seem to get any rolls to work for me. I can't really see how to do that roll because you don't shoot the roll from all angles, only horizontal and vertical, so it's hard for me to see how to do this.
Form a diamond with your hands, fingers touching fingers, thumb touching thumbs. Now put that diamond on the floor, approximately two feet in front of your toes. Now twist your arms so your LEADING ELBOW is facing the FRONT. Try rolling from that and tell me if it works.
Es ist prinzipiell egal, und nur davon abhängig, was einem lieber ist.
ABER: Es ist sinnvoll es auf beiden Schultern zu können, um besser vorbereitet zu sein, auf alle möglichen Situationen.
Stell dir vor, du musst nach einem Sprung nach links laufen... dann wäre es sinnvoller eine Rolle über die RECHTE Schulter zu machen, damit der Körper schon nach LINKS eingedreht ist.
ok ure roll ok but i think u might hurt ure shoulder and well u was wearing a thick top o and type in roll tutorial-parkour ozzi does these rolls and hes is the best
Focus on moving your leading shoulder (in my case the right preferably) to the front and letting its fingers point towards you/your feet, while the elbow points to the front.
what is the song name? and since im learngin how to do both parkour and free run this is a great help. thanks. if u ever need to learn how to beatbox msg or watch my vids
ich hätte gerade das gegenteil gedacht.. eben das ich mich nicht genug eindrehe oder eben der rücken nciht rund genug ist, aber ich werde mal drauf achten ob es mit geraderem rücken einfacher ist :)
Have you tried martial arts rolls, BTW? I was trying to use the one here: watch?v=bM2dO5mGBqs for my parkour, when I started facing my problem. Just curious, if you have any idea, since these guys seem to roll straight to their buttocks.
These guys have a different purpose for their roll. They roll when falling, or when being thrown, so mostly from hip level without any specific high-impact momentum to any side. In Parkour you work with impacts a multitude of your own bodyweight and have to make decisions in split seconds.
Another point would be, that those guys rolled on soft material. The whole area in a dojo is mostly padded, by soft cushioning mats. You can't, or more specifically WON'T, do that in this way on concrete :)
Having watched your videos, I actually tried that a few hours ago; and at the time, I did not realize that I was getting it right, in trying to avoid hitting the painful spot. Thanks a lot.
Any idea how long this pain might last, lest I accidentally hit it again? Two weeks without rolling had become unbearable, for me.
At the beginning when I learned it I bruised my shoulder and my hipbones a few times. And it always lasted about 2-3 days until the bruise was gone again. Just be patient, don't rush things.
You know, with all the advice that you've given in these discussions I found it very easy to roll from a horse stance, with my arms symmetrically out on the ground in front of me; but I suppose that that kind of training would only help when training for a dive roll. It's very smooth, with the torso first contacting the ground just below and behind the armpit. Only problem is: I have watch out that I don't hit my elbow to the ground (my left elbow, when I roll over my right shoulder) at exit.
and it should be viewable in less than an hour (I don't know how long YouTube will take, but I only just uploaded it). It's the latest video upload on my YouTube channel.
Hey, a short time ago, I tried rolling over my right shoulder a few times, and kept slamming my lower back onto the concrete. Now, I normally don't have any pain, but when I rolled (even last week), I felt quite some pain to the left of my backbone, at around the waist level. Now, when I roll, it feels like there's a bone that hit directly onto the floor, at that location. You have any advice, as to what kind of injury I might have, and what I could do about it? Thanks.
I don't think it's a kind of injury. This normally happens when you don't roll sideways enough. Think of rolling over your armpit, then rolling on the spot on your shoulder, next to the neck. If you roll over the armpit area and torque your body, you instantly go more sideways and thus avoid hitting (the shoulder and) the bones at your buttocks :P
Focus on twisting your torso. When you roll over your right shoulder, then get the shoulder to the front. Look where I make the first contact with the slow rolls, and the curve across my back.
Wow thanks man my right roll alwayz ended up wit my left leg in front but now i kno wAt to do thanka man

leodickle 2 years ago
Es tut nicht weh. Nicht mehr. Am Anfang hatte ich auch blaue Flecken, Schrammen und dergleichen, aber:
1) Der Körper passt sich an die Belastung an und "härtet" ab.
2) Man kriegt ein Gefühl dafür, wie man den Körper richtig "abrundet", und so keine Stellen mehr hat, die einen aufhalten.
Geduld im Training, die Rolle kann man weder mit Kraft, noch mit Mut lösen. Da heißt es üben, üben, üben.

Maybe your vision is crooked, but I think it's just the trousers' fault:
It does not hurt, because the knee doesn't touch the ground. The contact goes from the thighs to the calves, and it only touches muscular / fatty tissue, no bone structures or cartilege has direct contact to the floor.
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
I still don't understand why everyone insists on smashing their ankle on the ground like that?
TheDayIsNotLost 3 years ago
We don't insist on it, there's just no point in avoiding it if it doesn't hurt you. Why do YOU insist on changing unharmful behaviour?
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
It does hurt, plus you could sprain it if you don't come out of it right. That's what I think.
TheDayIsNotLost 3 years ago
Please don't generalise: Maybe it hurts you, but like I said "there's just no point in avoiding it if it doesn't hurt you".
It does not hurt me, and I taught many people to do it the same way, and no pain there either.
And no ankle sprains in four years.
Do you have a video of you rolling? Maybe it IS a better technique.

Haben mal so ein paar Spots in unserem "Dorf" ausprobiert und wollten und jetzt in die Stadt wagen. Hättest du gute Tipps, wo man Anfänger hinschicken könnte?

keep your legs in closer
Kirilltraceur 3 years ago
For what reason?
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
tuck them in harder- you WILL roll smother ;)
Kirilltraceur 3 years ago
Tucking them in results in a roll that goes more over the lumbar spine, which is more accentuated and thus results in pain.
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
die rolle, sollte man frühstends lernen, also ihr könnt die rolle gut.

your elbow hits the ground is it normal cause me too

Look at the execution, where I jump and then roll. You'll see that the contact is minimal/non-existant.

Very nice vid!!! Hopefully this will help me with my roll, I roll right instead of left and I always get pain in my shoulder and in my hip.
Props for the Champloo Music XD

hat mir jetzt nicht so geholfen...keine frage ein tolles tutorial aber irgendwie wills trotzdem nich so richtig.
vlt trifft man sich ja mal, dann kannst du's mir "live" zeigen :p
bin ab und zu in köln unterwegs ;-)
JeffHardyFan91 3 years ago
Erstens das, und zweitens: Ein Tutorial kann nie einen Lernprozess ersetzen.
Hier kannst du sehen, wie ich die Rolle mache. Ob du die Rolle so machst, oder ob sie so für dich sinnvoll ist, steht auf einem ganz anderen Blatt.
Und selbst wenn die Rolle so perfekt wäre: Du musst sie immer noch üben und an deine Körperproportionen anpassen ;)

I just got your message. You must be a good spotter, besides being a good teacher, to teach rolling in an hour. Just remembering your 'roll from behind your armpit' bit, I rolled painlessly, after a lapse in practise.

Mate, this is awesome footage. Thats quite possibily the best roll ive seen. Textbook, well done, im practicing at the moment a king kong Vault (3ft wall with 7ft drop other side, into a roll, this is on concorete, People dont appreatiate how hard parkour is. Well done tho, u've tought me where i was going wrong.
Boeing757basher07 3 years ago
Thanks for the praise.
And be aware when doing that catpass to drop. Most people underestimate the fact, that the catpass requires you to lift your center of gravity quite high over the obstacle itself, resulting in an even higher drop.

ParkourDirk 3 years ago
Thank you! I'm pretty sure I know what I've been doing wrong now :) Instead of rolling from the forearm all the way diagonally across the back, I was just landing on my shoulder and going from there (which hurts :\).. I hope I get it right now :)
infernoxangel 3 years ago
Yes, please come back and tell me when you get it right. If you got any problems feel free to record a short clip of your roll and send it to me, so I can watch it and spot possible mistakes!
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
I just noticed. You're right-handed. ^_^
Some of your left rolls are similar to your right. I can see from your foot placement. Anyway, nice video bro. It is good that someone has thought of uploading a tutorial demonstrating both left and right rolls.
Cheers! ^_^

I tried putting my elbow forward, but I hurt my shoulder and hip. My head is near the ground too, but it's not hitting it. In your video it looks like your head is quite far away from the ground..
Are there any excercises that would help in doing a roll?
dbfuru 3 years ago
I don't think there are any specific exercises, but I do find that handstands give you good core stability, so your bones are cushioned by muscles, especially around the shoulder/back area.
And start out with very slow rolls, then you shouldn't be able to hurt yourself if you stay close to the ground.
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
I had that problem too but I discoverd that how longer you hold your hands on the groun how lower the ground touches the back of your shoulder.
hope it helps. (works for me)
anaikahas 3 years ago
Thanks, Dirk. I'll try it and post later to tell you how it went.
dbfuru 3 years ago
I can't seem to get this roll. I don't understand how to roll "around" the shoulder. I can also never get the angle. I was using the roll tutorial from 3run and couldn't get that, so i tried this one.
I just cant seem to get any rolls to work for me. I can't really see how to do that roll because you don't shoot the roll from all angles, only horizontal and vertical, so it's hard for me to see how to do this.
dbfuru 3 years ago
From a crouching/squatting position:
Form a diamond with your hands, fingers touching fingers, thumb touching thumbs. Now put that diamond on the floor, approximately two feet in front of your toes. Now twist your arms so your LEADING ELBOW is facing the FRONT. Try rolling from that and tell me if it works.

ehm ist bei der rolle egal welche schulter oder hat es einen unterschied ??
Johncena136 3 years ago
Es ist prinzipiell egal, und nur davon abhängig, was einem lieber ist.
ABER: Es ist sinnvoll es auf beiden Schultern zu können, um besser vorbereitet zu sein, auf alle möglichen Situationen.
Stell dir vor, du musst nach einem Sprung nach links laufen... dann wäre es sinnvoller eine Rolle über die RECHTE Schulter zu machen, damit der Körper schon nach LINKS eingedreht ist.

ok ure roll ok but i think u might hurt ure shoulder and well u was wearing a thick top o and type in roll tutorial-parkour ozzi does these rolls and hes is the best
wriggo21 3 years ago
Actually, I can even do those rolls topless on metal grates, without feeling too much discomfort. I'm inclined to say I can do it quite well...
Also about that ozzi guy: His starting position is useless, soft surfaces are useless, his roll isn't really applicable to real Parkour situations?
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
Is it normal to hurt your shoulder when doing this roll?
BUMAREKUSU 3 years ago
No. The roll should never hurt you.

i can't get my body sideways enough :( any advice?
Xtr3meN 3 years ago
Focus on moving your leading shoulder (in my case the right preferably) to the front and letting its fingers point towards you/your feet, while the elbow points to the front.

what is the song name? and since im learngin how to do both parkour and free run this is a great help. thanks. if u ever need to learn how to beatbox msg or watch my vids

The song's name is "ole", and it's by "Nujabes + Fat Jon". You can find it on the Samurai Champloo "departure" soundtrack.

Mach den Rücken nicht ganz so rund. Probier's mal :)
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
ich hätte gerade das gegenteil gedacht.. eben das ich mich nicht genug eindrehe oder eben der rücken nciht rund genug ist, aber ich werde mal drauf achten ob es mit geraderem rücken einfacher ist :)
stiLLa2000 3 years ago
Have you tried martial arts rolls, BTW? I was trying to use the one here: watch?v=bM2dO5mGBqs for my parkour, when I started facing my problem. Just curious, if you have any idea, since these guys seem to roll straight to their buttocks.
faisalhalim 3 years ago
These guys have a different purpose for their roll. They roll when falling, or when being thrown, so mostly from hip level without any specific high-impact momentum to any side. In Parkour you work with impacts a multitude of your own bodyweight and have to make decisions in split seconds.
Another point would be, that those guys rolled on soft material. The whole area in a dojo is mostly padded, by soft cushioning mats. You can't, or more specifically WON'T, do that in this way on concrete :)
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
Having watched your videos, I actually tried that a few hours ago; and at the time, I did not realize that I was getting it right, in trying to avoid hitting the painful spot. Thanks a lot.
Any idea how long this pain might last, lest I accidentally hit it again? Two weeks without rolling had become unbearable, for me.
faisalhalim 3 years ago
At the beginning when I learned it I bruised my shoulder and my hipbones a few times. And it always lasted about 2-3 days until the bruise was gone again. Just be patient, don't rush things.
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
You know, with all the advice that you've given in these discussions I found it very easy to roll from a horse stance, with my arms symmetrically out on the ground in front of me; but I suppose that that kind of training would only help when training for a dive roll. It's very smooth, with the torso first contacting the ground just below and behind the armpit. Only problem is: I have watch out that I don't hit my elbow to the ground (my left elbow, when I roll over my right shoulder) at exit.
faisalhalim 3 years ago
Would you mind filming your roll? That would make it easier for me to look for flaws/bumps in it.
And yes, the elbow-thing is feeling-based. It happened to me when learning the left-shoulder roll. I got it sorted now though.
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
Sure, I've just put it up. The URL ends with:
watch?v=T-62B4AbkeY
and it should be viewable in less than an hour (I don't know how long YouTube will take, but I only just uploaded it). It's the latest video upload on my YouTube channel.
Thanks a lot.

Hey Faissal!
I've posted comments to your video, hope they will help :)
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
Hey, a short time ago, I tried rolling over my right shoulder a few times, and kept slamming my lower back onto the concrete. Now, I normally don't have any pain, but when I rolled (even last week), I felt quite some pain to the left of my backbone, at around the waist level. Now, when I roll, it feels like there's a bone that hit directly onto the floor, at that location. You have any advice, as to what kind of injury I might have, and what I could do about it? Thanks.
faisalhalim 3 years ago
I don't think it's a kind of injury. This normally happens when you don't roll sideways enough. Think of rolling over your armpit, then rolling on the spot on your shoulder, next to the neck. If you roll over the armpit area and torque your body, you instantly go more sideways and thus avoid hitting (the shoulder and) the bones at your buttocks :P
ParkourDirk 3 years ago
i always turn my back whilst rolling and go straight :( do you have any tips to get the roll from shoulder to hip please?
Xtr3meN 3 years ago
Focus on twisting your torso. When you roll over your right shoulder, then get the shoulder to the front. Look where I make the first contact with the slow rolls, and the curve across my back.
