Wow, I totally just dropped a brick when I saw you dancing in the basement of the Union. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that because I'm an International Studies major at U of I and I literally walked right by that machine this morning. The squirrel/hiding behind the pole parts were hilarious. Great work man and keep it up. Go Illini!
There's a common misperception among non-traceurs that rolling is always a necessary part of falling. This is not true. Rolling is only important when someone has forward momentum. If you drop straight down, it actually puts more strain on your legs if you force yourself to roll. The reason you always see freerunners roll is because they're always running forward before leaping off of things.
I actually *did* roll after jumping off the brick ledge; I just edited it out.
I find that rolling usually just helps anyway. Of course I also weigh around 230 lbs. so I probably have a lot more momentum from a drop. I dunno, personal experience is different I guess. It always puts way too much strain on my joints/legs if I straight drop and don't roll. I don't do it every time, but usually from higher stuff. You seemed to have enough forward momentum in most of those jumps. But hey man, whatever works for you. Heh
lmao, Sorry but I doubt you really know what you're talking about. I've been doing this for years now and have never even slightly hurt myself (even when doing jumps 1.5x or 2x the height of these). I actually had a foot pain that day before ever doing the jumps, and afterwards it felt no worse whatsoever.
I didn't demonstrate it much in the video due to various time, weather, and environment constraints, but I freerun quite a bit; everything in this video was meant to be comedic.
Although, now that I think about it, it should be noted that (except for the last one) I edited out most of the actual landing, so that may make them appear to be shoddy.
i am going to u of i for computer and electrical eng. When i saw the vid it though twice if it was u of i. AND IT IS. So i will be seeing you there. What year are you?
I use premiere, and there's this little button you can select that says deinterlace. If your program has a help feature, try searching deinterlace or something along those lines.
Not only did I love the video, I liked the correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in the description (e.g. "to whom I am a huge fan" vs. "who I am a huge fan of")!
People on the internet these days are so obsessed with abbreviations and improper grammar. Such practices really don't save time; frankly, all they do is demonstrate an inability to articulate a significant level of intelligent thought. I type and send messages more quickly than most people I know, and it's primarily because I'm always making a conscious effort to write something intelligible.
Exactly. Actually, my friends have nicknamed me "Der Fuhrer" or just "The Grammar Nazi" because of my tendency to correct others. Maybe I should make a channel dedicated to that! I can imagine all the negative comment I'd get just for making something like that.
Well.. swing your fist or foot and it can basically be considered an "actual move". My motions weren't part of any kata, sequence, form, or technique; it was all completely arbitrary. That said, if any of those blows had actually hit him, he would not have exactly enjoyed it.
voted, and subscribed. awesome video dude..I wish there were people around my campus doing that stuff. the temperature's right for it lol (I'm in florida), maybe i'll have to learn some things about being a ninja. ^_^
Hah! Incidentally, I have a plan in my head to make a series about "How to be a Ninja". I have no idea when/if I'll manage to get around to doing it, but it should be quite entertaining and/or informative once it comes out.
well, it depends on what Video Editor you are using. if you are on a Mac, i can help you...if you are using Windoze, enter "de-interlace video with NAME OF PROGRAM Win [Vista/XP]".
Yeah, after seeing Zcqead's video, I never really anticipated being able to win, but at least I've garnered some attention which is bound to come in handy when I start to make more videos of much better quality.
i voted for you because i noticed in about 2 seconds that this was filmed at U of I - thats awesome man, wish i had seen u around campus doing this shit hah

Theoretically, I would agree with you, but it's too cold around here right now to do stuff that's too advanced.
