Parkour - Proper Landings and Rolls - Pkto.ca

[AmmaarAhmed1]

Then it use filth if u destitute your legs

[TheKanjiX]

OHHHH i did the improper roll. useless.

[mark5598]

where do u put your feet

[blammyblam]

hey just a critique i have on your rolls... you need to extend your body and not be so tight on the landing reach out further with your body so the impact is absorbed throughout your whole body

[theveritas100]

@sampajasli hey guys i srsly cant do the roll rite... :/, plz hlep, go check my videos on my channel plz plz hlep, i wana get my basics ready. plz hlep i wud appreciate it a LOT. plz plz help. i tend to hurt my back. And myself.

[PKkyoudai]

Is this gym in Toronto? If so would you be able to tell me the name of it? Thanks

[chucklingpianofun]

What's the metal song in the background? Sounds cool.

[Ratatoeskrrr]

@chucklingpianofun The song is called "Nothing lasts forever" from Caliban :> 

[IntervaloTV]

very useful, thanks

[FreerunnerDave]

worst video

[El1teSniper00]

Fail timing at 1:44 haha

[PyroPKPatrik]

Do you push yourself forward with one of your hands?

[patrikdensmarte]

One thing I always do wrong is landing and going into a pk-roll.

I bend my knees past 90* and it also takes some time to get into the roll, so I feel a lot of pressure on my feet. How can I become better at landing with rolls?

[iStickysandwich]

you stole this video from another guy, ass

[RaptaryTRO]

Is this the one in Kansas City? Also this video helped a lot. Thank you man!

[cj489]

i wana know how i get into a gymnastic place like that and just free roam not lessons??????

[jakxcombat]

This was quite helpful, thanks!

[LatestUFOSightings]

Wow! This is good.  I never knew about the angle of the knee bend.

[MrSniper16]

Wtf? I want to go to a parkour class! O:

[ufzpk]

the 'improper' rolls they show, are 'crumple' rolls, they basically eliminate the need for a roll by stressing your knees and going all the way to the ground before rolling, whereas the proper rolls use blocking (as i believe it is called) to transfer the energy forwards allowing you to dive into the roll, preserving the forward momentum and not stressing your knees.

[EPlopez13]

@ufzpk

As far as i know, the Blocking is the technique that allows you to transfer all the horizontal momentum to a vertical momentum to reach higer places in the jump. The "improper landings" that are showed here is a "jump of precision" or "precisions" this jumps haves to be done in reduced spaces to dont fall of.

Cool! :D

[cummyCroissant]

Parkour is for gays

[afnanbadboy]

[kboy3141]

[zetonium]

very helpful

[geekoftexas]

Wouldn't it hurt your hand/wrist/arm when you roll on it?

[ufzpk]

you roll shoulder to opposite hip, depending on how you roll you arm's do almost nothing.

[parkourbetim]

Great Tutorial!

[seann1991]

all those jumpings and landing might look cool NOW. effects comes later in your old days

knee malfunction and stuf. peace

[Kirilltraceur]

those landings prevent the "effects"

[LudlowPK]

they HELP prevent the effects, nothing will completely prevent them except for sitting on your ass all the time watching tv or being on the computer =P

[Willemall016]

Thanks.

Guess it's gonna help me a lot...

[antparkour]

haha, the landings you said were worse were alot better than the "good" ones

90 degree rule is a load of crap

everything is very bad for your knees anyway

you think jumping and landing isn't bad for them?!

thats like saying that landing straight legged is good <_<

[ariz12629]

errr dude, i think that what they said helped a lot. :D seriously

[antparkour]

it's not good, trust me.

it was all a theory some austrian traceur made up.

he was then outright disproved by basically every scientifically minded person alive.

straighter legged landings = disgustingly bad.

[ufzpk]

yeah, well they're not lading straight legged are they? And all the stress on their knees is taken, and put into forward momentum.

[antparkour]

i didn't say they were

i said straghtER

how can your knee stress be put into a momentum?

that would just double the impact.

[ufzpk]

all the downward force is being transferred to forward, keeping all the momentum and speed.

[antparkour]

no

it goes into your legs.

the more you bend your knees

the less is actually absorbed

go ask a physio.

[afnanbadboy]

i dont really understand wht u guys are talking about cna u explain plz

[antparkour]

that these guys are trying to teach how to land properly and are doing it wrong themselves

[afnanbadboy]

but i dont really get wht u on about too lol hmm im starting parkour but tht forward momentum stuff n impact cinfused me now lol i had understood everytin until i red tht rofl

[antparkour]

well

where they're landing and rolling,

the force they use is put into forward momentum for the roll,

which helps to reduce knee damage.

but with landings straighter legged, it actually does more damage

[afnanbadboy]

oh now i understgand what it was about lol thx for clearing it for me :D

[kboy3141]

ull will notice yourself how much strain there is when u bend your legs more then 90 degreess, yes it absorbs more impact, thats the whole point , but then there would be no transfer in momentum, thats why they dont do it.

[kboy3141]

the bend 90 degree rles was only actually designed for beginner trauceurs, so that they wouldnt 'bottom out' (landing on your butt) when jumping from great height, as u become more advanced, u can forget the 90 degree rule and just lean forward as u land which will instantl from your roll

[antparkour]

well, even from a young age i knew to bend my knees far down when landing,

somebody new shouldn't learn a bad technique at the start and then have to change it, leads to motor difficulties.

it's like saying

"OK, WHEN DOING AN ARM JUMP, DONT MAKE YOUR LEGS LAND ON THE WALL, LAND ON YOUR KNEES"

does the damage that not bending past the 90 degrees does, and should not be practiced.

i do agree though that you should not bend your knees TOO far. that can be very bad indeed.

[Sicko2005]

Nice Boyzz

[gzuzzfreek]

sweet tutorial and also kudos on the tuneage.

[TonLong2000]

Another important point is not to allow the heels o hit the ground. If you don't bend too much the knees than they are safe due to proper absorption IF you don't hit hard on the heels. This shock could damage the heels, the feet, the knees or even other parts. It doesn't mean one should land with the feet straight, aligned with the shins. The first land on this video is nice as exemple.

[TonLong2000]

What is too much for a person may not to be for another. It depends on several aspects as muscle strentgh or joint mobility. You can see David Belle land high drops bending a lot the knees but this surely works fine for him due to his experience and conditioning. This video is great as it gives a nice reference that should work for everybody. Think about this, if you feel the shock than it's too much.

[1357swat]

should you roll on concrete or should you just land?

[TonLong2000]

You should roll whenever you can't absorb properly the shock. For practicing parkour you must learn how to land and roll properly and harmlessly on any surface. You should go for high drops without this skill being very accurate.

[TonLong2000]

You SHOULDN'T go for high drops without this skill being very accurate.

[Mitsybushi]

cheers nw i cn do jumps withoot hurtin ma nees coz i used to hav a problem with my left nee wen i did 1 of the easiest jumps :):)

[yates1203]

thnx man, i never knew u couldnt bend ure knees past 90 degrese. btw great tut.

[BlacksVideos]

Wrong landnings does not only disrupt the flow and damage the knees, Some people tutch their ass in the back of their lower legs and that's not very good.

[dragosandrei]

THX man great fucking tutorial i mean it bravooo!!!

[abchappyfamily]

Thanks man, i didnt know about the whole 90 degree thing. It helps!

[Uborpriest]

Awesome tutorials!!!

[WitChd0kt0r29]

nice tutorial it helped me a lot, before this video i didnt even know its not right to bend your legs more than 90 degrees

thx alot!

[Seeplik]

oh great now i wont get hurt my knees again lol

[caramelanthony]

[bmxmtb4life]

[o0EmmAngel0o]

woow its cooool <333

[kristreyes]

great tut, thanks heaps :)

[sldklr]

thanks... that actually help alot... my knees were getting sore... hahahah

[FreeRunin18]

wow i'm doing it all wrong them i'm doing the improper landings lol

[VikTehOne]

That's why my friend's rolls seemed weird and useless!!!

[CrazyCamo]

Although it isnt a good idea to go past 90 on your landings you should should train that part of your muscle be4 you work out. You need to have strength in every part of your leg so that if you do land badly from something you will get away with it.

[ricy802]

where was this taped. at a gymnastic gym or something like that. serious question. if u have answer leave me a comment on my page

[kodokwai]

I'm new to parkour..but I do martial arts..I have to ask isn't landing like that with your palms down generating risk for wrist sprains?

[TheendJosh]

the force generally goes on your feet and you only use your hands to push your self away to keep flow.

[M0U53Y]

i don't think it's really putting palms down flat, i', not sure since i used to land 90 degrees like an idiot before i watched this vid.

I come from a martial arts background as well, that's where i learned how to roll.

if you try putting your palms down as you run and tilt forwards you don't feel much strain i don't think.

just one of those weird things i guess

[KonstansRoR]

d00d, you didn't get it. If you lose the flow, you hurt your knees. If you keep the flow, and run without stopping Ur knees R safe.

[NeoUzzy]

pfff so much tips maybe i should go turn to sneak some things in while in gym xD

[shortykiy]

i cant find any body that really teaches this in new york

[Bloodflooder]

just try it yourself from a safe height like 1 m or so and then jsut keep doing it until its comfortable

[cyclopsmonkee]

Great! Very nice and straightforward!

[tugboattait]

Simple and obtainable :)

[82895150]

Where do I find a place like this?

[SampaJasli]

this is a gymnastics gym

they have everything a gymnast would use, plus special floors, obstacles, trampolines, etc

[shortykiy]

where exactly

[Boneyjoe]

jump of something high and thats just gonna make it hurt more i think. I would rather keep my knees and lose the flow.

[agentunagi]

if you do that your body absorbs all the shock. if you keep moving forward you can turn the downward momentum into forward momentum instead of hurting your knees.

[Boneyjoe]

I was only talking about the landing not the rolls.

[ShadowGene9]

keep em coning

[SkaterPunkLifestyle]

kool i was rolling wrong i guess
