Basic Intro To Parkour

[kenyutube1]

i'm more of a beginner when it comes to tricking and freerunning but parkour I'm very good. Yet, whenever I perform a roll or a safety drop by bending my knees and putting my hands down someone always yells fail despite the fact i don't feel a thing :\

[ewosparkour]

Lol the guy with the billabong shirt sounds like de blonde dude from scubby doo

[TheJi09]

i Also locked me leggs on second time xD

[TheJi09]

Wow the first time i jumped off stairs i accidntly rolled, 2nd time jumping off i didnt roll and i my leg was busted up for a week it was like a 7 feet jump -_____-

[idc39]

so do you guys trick, freerun, or do parkour?

[GodHunter77]

Yoohoo jersey

[RedRiverChannel]

Freerunning is for show?

Probably the most inaccurate description. Freerunning is exactly the same thing as parkour. It was ''founded'' by sebastien foucan, and parkour was ''founded'' by david belle when they split up from the group Yamakasi which practised L'art du déplacement

parkour, freerunning, art du deplacement they say its all the same thing. go to pkg rendevouz in london many of the founders are there to talk to. its a non competetive, and has nothing to do with showing off

[evilstephen902]

@RedRiverChannel Nonononono, no, parkour is the art of moving from point A to point B as fast, fluently, and stylishly as possible, while free running is simply the art of stylish acrobatics.

[RedRiverChannel]

@evilstephen902

really? ask sebastien foucan and you will get a completely diffrent answer. freerunning is not simply acrobatics outdoors. its just a translation of parkour.

[shreddder1995]

jersey shore the show is an embarrassment

[Spyyko]

HOLY SHIT I WAS THERE YESTERDAY!! Long Beach Island? By Beach Haven?

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@Spyyko yes

[ROTFLSHMSFOAIDMT1]

Thank you so much i'm so gald someone finally decided to tell there watchers the difference, i get really annoyed when i'm doing parkour and people say i'm freerunning or people will be doing flips/tricks and claim there doing parkour :)

[MyManchesterunited12]

@ROTFLSHMSFOAIDMT1 coz the world automatically knows freerunning once you say parkour the ask wtf is that but freerunnning they noe i do pk and freerunning flips can be a part of parkour i guess if its not too much flips and it flows wit h your run otherwise when flips become to much it turns into freerunning thats why most vids say pk/freerunning video but to be honest i havent seen a parkour vid in a log time without it turning into freerunning only ppl like epic

[MyManchesterunited12]

@ROTFLSHMSFOAIDMT1 and others i cant mmeba from the top of my head

[JournalManTV]

I always pk roll too far from point b (mail box, friends, etc) and it's always awkward having to WALK back xD

[TomTom40202]

Bro! I love Jersey! And i've always told people that jersey is not like the show jersey shore. Im actually headin up to ocean city in a few weeks

[randomfunnyz]

the vid is watch?v=9IFYzoxcB1M

[ShogunCheeks]

Seaside really is a sleazy place. I hate having the name of the Jersey shore associated with them.

[crankoslap]

Only those who risk going too far will possibly know just how far one can go

[ItsEchoHere]

dude.... i can shit on a rug...

dave: erm what?!?

parkour thing... *walks off*

dave: :O

[DeltaForce171Airsoft]

I DO PARKOUR TOO!!!



[TheBackYardNinjas]

@DeltaForce171Airsoft We don't =]

[baninja12]

@TheBackYardNinjas me n my friends dont parkour we jus do anything to have fun like trickin

[MyManchesterunited12]

@TheBackYardNinjas you say you dont do parkour but you did some thief vaulys and a cat pass/kong for those who no it otherwise your beginning to see like a fellow traceur like everywhere i go i see a opportunity to do parkour i see the world as my parkour playground

[MyManchesterunited12]

Respond to this video... if yuo can do basic vaults like what you done im my opinion you do parkour coz u done a thief a cat can you guys do any hader vaults like a diving kong 36o vault turn vault hand rail btwist cat precision double kong etcetra and stuff liek cat leaps 

[MyManchesterunited12]

also you can jump off a building or a roof and land in safety tap position or as my friend called chris calls it cat position instead of rolling or the time or balance both out all the pros do it all the time

[MyManchesterunited12]

make sure cody when you jump to make it osund quiet try to jump onto the balls of your fett coz when you jumped it was pretty loud you wanna be so quiet with it but great pk rol sorry for all the comments i wanna help you guys like youve helped me with my frontflip

[MyManchesterunited12]

and ur precisons make you sure you land with ur kness bent before you stand up straight and as i said make it queit coz after alongtime your kness will get fucked if you dont foolow the advise im giing you about your precisions

[jumpr222]

Haha love it! I did parkour now im workin on my tricks for freerunning and ya tht is basically what parkour is!

[pfctink]

I think you guys are wrong, free running is getting to a place and parkour is doing fancy tricks.

[rebornsdestroy917]

@pfctink are you being sarcastic or just really dont know wat parkour is

[pfctink]

@rebornsdestroy917 Parkour is just tricks and crap, I'm serious. >.>

[rebornsdestroy917]

@pfctink dude in every video defining parkour , parkour is getting from point a to b in the fastest most efficient way possible while freerunning is flipping and having fun with it, you can even check wikipedia on the subject

[T0N0L]

its weird cause you HAVE a pk roll tutorial.. XD

[ThePooPooHeaDZ]

u guys r so helpful

[mostterr3]

if im fat

[TJPlaysGames]

*end video* are you experiencing rectal bleeding or constipation? lol ads..

[younoob214a]

But u have a video on fence jumping

[jakeeln]

wheres the redhead backflip dude?

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@jakeeln no one ever had red hair

[jakeeln]

@TheBackYardNinjas I meant the guy who has the "crazy red hair who does an insane back flip" (13:00)

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@jakeeln and again. No one has red hair

[BigTentacleEnt]

@TheBackYardNinjas

he meant that video you have mantioned. "has everybody seen that video with the kid with the red hair who does the insane backflip of a wall ... " at about 13:00

[1joel8]

@jakeeln LOL cody?

[jakeeln]

@1joel8 what?

[1joel8]

@jakeeln cody...never mind

[SuperSaiyain4Man]

Hey I hope you answer this I'm 11 I'm pretty good at parkour but when I do a kong vault I'm afraid I will get my feet caught on the object. Advice?

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@SuperSaiyain4Man when you jump into it, its almost like a dive. Just get your legs higher

[nimsxmx]

@SuperSaiyain4Man chest down pretty much :)

[bluebelt224]

Cody's friggin huge.

[xXxSKYBAY13xXx]

you have a PK roll tutorial bro

[earth2zak]

if you make the video go to the end from the begining you can tel it got darker i find that cool

[vallgron]

meant to ask this in my last comment what was that kind of complaining about sea side what is it????

[frodo67000]

I can jump pretty high, and one time during a basketball game I accidentally locked my legs for a landing. I hurt from my knees all the way up my spine too. it hurt so freaking bad. I need to get better at my rolling....

[darktigerblader54321]

parkour is free running

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@darktigerblader54321 trolllllllololol

[Aeniron]

@darktigerblader54321 Wtf it is?! :O

[VLambo311]

so............... parkour is ...... flipping?

[xXxSKYBAY13xXx]

@VLambo311 free running is flipping.

[shoutoutlove]

please do more parkor

[KillerKongz]

:D when you said about at school and getting up places, i thought that was just me :P and yeah if i say, hmmm, i could climb up there, they just sorta go... who cares :P But yeah when i started, i was like, omg i'll try getting up there! And you'd ask a friend, and they'd be like... why would i want to :D but when you do it, there like... oh, Cool :D

[TraceurTaine]

i fkn loved you guys when you made the definition of parkour and flips was not part of it :)

loved your seaside comment too :)

[ruaridh94]

XD i was standing in a group with some friends and i said hmpf i could climb up there and they were like dude wtf? and i said owh nvm ;)

[fallofshadows]

The backflip at 10:37 was sick... it looked sortof like mine do at the beginning, till you whipped your legs around at the end. Sick.

[RandomMaster007]

lmao. real men dont use stairs

[skull1234444]

When i fall backwards i backwards roll

[SasoriXSonic]

haha, yeah whenever i go do tricks or parkour and kids are watching, they try it after i leave

[Guitargod4ever45]

@SasoriXSonic dude you are so right bro haha and everytime me and my friends get there the parents are like ok kids its time to go hahaha

[obeasthead]

Do you guys ever get problems with your knees? Jumpers knees? You guys look great. I wish I didn't get jumpers knees :( I love stunts and I love your videos

[KralleCR]

you keep calling rails poles. it REALLY messed me up when there was a pole right next to the rail xD not cody though, hes coo.

i actually thought you guys had never even looked into parkour, and i'd always been thinking "whats with those guys?" and im glad you made this video =P

good point about the kid watching. If you do parkour and kids are around, they will pretty much always either come up to you and watch real close, or when you leave they will copy your ass haha

[7ussainPK]

ok, can u please make some parkour tutorials ?

[mno676]

lol when i got in to parkour i sucked so bad now im at the point where i can see anything its so cool btw you guys make the best videos and if you are going to do a video of rolls you need to put the diveroll in it because for me that was the hard one to get dwon

[KralleCR]

@mno676 run forward, jump forward in an elongated fashion (hands first of course), and roll as if you are doing a normal roll. they are very similar, but there are other minor adjustments that you need to FEEL, and sometimes you cant be taught without doing, and you must teach yourself =D

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@KralleCR Thanks for the help explaining things man =]

[KralleCR]

@TheBackYardNinjas no prob, just trying to save you the effort of a video xD

[mno676]

@KralleCR i know it was hard but i got them down thanks for your help tho

[Halewken]

I always look for spots to parkour everywhere I go! It's hard to pay attention when I drive because I look around so much ha.

[mno676]

@Halewken lol my friend is like that he will stop and get out of the car and do some parkour its so funny

[xxKelthinxx]

If you just practice landing quietly all of your drops will be smoother and you will hurt yourself less.

[InsaneMangos]

haha when you sneezed i actually said bless you xD

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@InsaneMangos Thank you =]

[JackTheNinja11]

Man i love your vids, i remember when i first started parkour and i was at my park with a bunch of little kids looking at me like WTF lol, but now im pretty good, and i get asked how to do that, and stuff like that, if you can get over the fear of being judged even more then the fear of what ever your doing, the skys the limit =D

[PaperheadsXD]

Wow! That place looks awesome with the pirate ship and all. Where is that? And that was a great intro to Parkour!

[Nowheremovies]

non douchebags in jersey shore omfg

[kilian101]

Thanks for uploading this helps, you must get some strange looks when making videos in busy places hahah

could you make one on getting up things

[mefeman1]

you called a monkey a cat lol.... 1:54

and called a two hand vault a lazy at 10:54

and just to explain it a bit better... freerunning is expression through movement.. parkour is moving efficiently.

as an ender.. dont say "dont be afraid" but rather say be confident.

[Rawwwwwwrq]

@mefeman1 a monkey vault has many names it's been called monkey vault, cat vault, panther vault (not often), etc..

although it is technically a two handed vault, many traceurs refer to it as a lazy vault

good job catching it though! attention to detail :D

[SlashTheGuitarist]

@Rawwwwwwrq Lazy and Monkey are two different vaults.

[Rawwwwwwrq]

@SlashTheGuitarist i realize that, i was talking about lazy and two-handed vaults. There is a difference between the two, but many traceurs refer to them as the same thing.

kick ass name by the way, Slash is my idol! :D

[GreenArrow223]

Haven't you made a pk roll tutorial before?

[pivotybob]

I am so glad that you guys are making more videos

[Ilovehossain]

It's candy.

[prinon95]

what did u mean by dusk=death sentence?

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@prinon95 Your depth perception gets messed up

[prinon95]

@TheBackYardNinjas oh lol

[TheGreyWolf98]

guys you are just so avesome! i live in sweden and first i didnt think there was any place to do parkour where i live but this video helped me alot! Thanks again guys.

[krylanxelo]

dude make some vlogs man, that'd be sweet

[MusicMan53100]

So did you find the link to that video of the red-headed guy "flopping" when he falls backwards? ...

[buggydoo]

yeah i remember my first roll.... some one pushed me and it was a 5 foot drop... the good news is i remembered how to roll and i did it right with out hurting my self the bad news is now i am deathly afraid of people pushing me lol

[Kris659]

yes i know what you mean by trying a backflip in the dark, u have no idea where u are during the flip and u just have to go by instinct

[iModHD]

thats what jake brown did when he crashed in x games 14

[theohockey]

love you guys =) lol

[clickclocks]

I would feel so awkward filling that stuff with people around. But clearly you guys don't give a shit if there are people looking at you.

[Lynx799]

When we see people like this in public we say north side tool's or slightly disterbed =D

[kivijs13]

Thats why im in to tricking cause free running and parkour does have to many rules like.....No thats free runing not parkour....No thats parkour not free running....Thats all sh!t....Just like to move...Dont care if i do vaults or flips its just movement....

[musicismylifeXD]

pk roll tutorial plz D':

[norb4152]

@musicismylifeXD type "parkour roll tutorial" into yt search, first 2 are very good.

[Jackasswannabe08]

you guys should do some climbing tutorials, like getting up buildings, climbing walls, and how to work out to do a muscle up. that would be pretty awesome.

[Jugler4]

make a parkour video!!!

[Stratocaster05]

I love how you can see it getting progressively darker throughout the video.

[WOWman1797]

its funny how in this video that you guys are saying your gonna do a parkour manuever and then oh wait theres people walking by lol, thats how i am like every time i wanna do somthing i have to wait for people to walk by before you can do it so you dont be a rude jerk and run into them

[TheUprisingNinja]

at 1:53 isnt that a monkey stall not a cat?

[WOWman1797]

@TheUprisingNinja no its a cat hang

[BLJohnson10]

wow it got like really dark from the beginning to the end of the vid

[dominicanoaki]

OMG i totally do that 7:34

[WOWman1797]

@dominicanoaki i do that all the time too lol somtimes i run to my classes and when the hall ways change directions i do wall runs up the lil three step stairs to change direction lol

[CheatFate]

again a great video. i love how you guys break down things. it really helps. i watched ur backflip tutorial, and tried it with my friend. he spotted me twice then i tried it on my own and landed perfectly. u guys were wrong about landing your first time ;) but thank you for the help!

[Digitalman271]

Lol, im always looking for ways on top of things too.

[dtdude42]

"watch your step" sign. haha

[asta315]

Ha! i tolds you the time limit wasent 10 minutes anymore. ;P

[tabascojoe77]

Im pretty sure everyone stopped caring about the difference between parkour and free running and just trained

[soodime]

so parkour is using your environment to get from a to b....so like, using the sidewalk? lol

[bladesypher]

@soodime If using the sidewalk is the most efficient, effective and quick way of getting to your destination, yes.

[cUSTOMpARKOUR]

hey check out our videos! were not that great but we r slowly getting better

[dudeirox]

Parkour is getting from point A to point B as quickly and as efficiently as possible, freerunning is for showmanship, but you guys are awesome, keep up the amazing work :D

[ThePwnerz]

@dudeirox

Freerunning aint just for showmanship -.-'

Its about feeling the flow, feeling the freedom through your jumps and flips. Feeling the adrealine rushing through your body. Doing what you wanna do, in that exact moment. Being free... Thats why its called "free"running.

[dudeirox]

Parkour is cooler than free running in my opinion :)

[vallgron]

i knwo all this stuff but that was really good at explaining

[Z2D3]

i wish there were some abandoned places where i live where i could do parkour...

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@Z2D3 doesn't have to be abbandoned 

[buggydoo]

@Z2D3 yeah me and my friends do parkour at a college and apt buildings (with owners ok) heck any ware will work even in the country you can practice on trees and jump over push's parkour is for any ware

[Pivotmakerman]

nice, but freerunning an parkour r like the same haha, not really a difference

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@Pivotmakerman did u not listen? lol. parkour has no flips and its just from a to b as fast as possible

[Pivotmakerman]

@TheBackYardNinjas like u said earlier then that.... flips and stuff is tricking...... parkour/freerunning r the same... im fact parkour is a french word, the original word, freerunning is the "american" word for it.... not trying to hate, i love ur vids

[dudeirox]

@Pivotmakerman uhmm, im french, and freerunnign is not the englihs word for parkour, Parkour or l'Art du Displacement, isnt even close to the same as freerunning

[1RedFox2]

@Pivotmakerman freerunning=flips and stuff for fun and style. Parkour= getting from point a to point b as fast as possible. thats the difference. its not complicated whatsoever.

[TheBackYardNinjas]

@1RedFox2 exactly. its not hard to understand

[SticktheFigure]

@TheBackYardNinjas I would argue that once you start becoming an advanced traceur, you look for something to advance you further. Parkour is what you make of it. The more advanced you become, the more the line blurs. How do you feel about it?

[vovka444]

@TheBackYardNinjas parkour is getting from point a to b as fast and efficient as possible. and free running is basicly same thing but just style added and how i say its going from points A to Z because u might want to turn direction any time (:

[atepope2]

@Pivotmakerman

I couldn't thumbs down you hard enough.

[moos14]

@Pivotmakerman -.- retard..

[KralleCR]

@Pivotmakerman please dont be ignorant. and ignorant is not the same as stupid. ignorant is when you say things without bothering to inform yourself upon the subject, therefore, ignorant is LIKE, but not EXACTLY the same thing as uninformed, just like parkour and free running are LIKE each other, but not EXACTLY the same thing.

[Shikamaru1212]

nice, can't wait for the tuts

[TheBeanerNinja]

i knew most of this but you guys did a great job explaining what to do!!!

[Thebaggy1412]

yeaaaaaaa hey cant you do a kip up or pic up with no hands?

[ddtheking23]
