  • Hey Jesse, I can't seem to kong high objects if i leave split step. Would it be okay if i leave in a split step position, but pushing with both feet at the same time without stomping instead of 1-1?

  • @Bobabadabadabada yes for very high objects I do kinda like a gather step

  • its hard to go in on one foot instead of double jumping it with 2 feet

  • @7parkoursocceraddict no but it is a bit different and the thing is once our brains know a safe way to do something it is hard for us to convince it to try it another way.

  • put up video of webster

  • @TheAdamnator99 in a couple days

  • Hey leflair could u make a pal spin tutorial?

    Not on the wall but level?

    And them have progression to it and the wall spin?

  • @DeSkulBuster yes I plan on doing this soon

  • jesse please help whenever i do the kong vault both my hands don't leave the obstacle at the same time my left hand stays for a little bit longer but this is making me turn a little to the left you can say that my left arm is acting like a pivot.and i am not going as far as i should

  • @987654321ag1 throw that object behind you!!! Can you send me a video of this?

  • laflairparkour check out pkdef parkour and freerunning

  • every time i do the kong vault i go to the right but my obstical is 2 and a half feet wide that sucks

  • I cant get my legs through my arms. I always end up getting caught on my toes. How can i fix this?

  • @MrOutlaws26 there are 3 possibilities.

    1.you may not be getting your legs close to your body

    2.you may be jumping too close

    3.you may not be pushing of with your arms properly

  • can you do a dive kong tutorial? like diving over an object to a kong?

  • do you have any ideas on breaking the outside the arm habit?

  • i wisk i new about this video when i was learning the kong vault -_-

  • is there a free running academy in sac?

  • @LaFlairParkour What type of shoes do you have?

  • @LaFlairParkour why don't you make new videos anymore? please answer. thanks bro!

  • my questin here is ... could you repeat this tutorial but in low motion or show a way to not hit the wall or the obstacle with the tip of my feet and believe me that was scary. i tried to do it and i did . the problem was that i couldnt make it with my feet and hit the obstcacle and then...get the picture ??? it hurt... thanks

  • For higher obstacles would u recommend split leg take off or a punch take off

  • thanks the tutorial helped me alot and im goin to try the double kong now:)ohh and i subscribed

  • i know how to do a kong but i can never get any distance when i started parkour and after 4 years whic is now i still land in the same freaking spot i know bunch of other tricks but i could never perfect the kong never could get that 10 more inches to do a cat can you give me some tip or am i doomed

  • can you do double kong

  • @mihasable yes and I have a double kong tutorial on my page

  • Can you do a tutorial on how to swing from bars ive tried it but it feels like my arms are coming off

  • @DSHUTLERRUN I can do a bar video soon

  • This is my favorite move

  • my legs are longer then my arms so it is harder to do it. Any tips?

  • i tried to kong short ways on a picnic table. I ran at it and i kicked my legs up to bring my hips up, i guess i did it to late or the distance was to short, but i cleared the table completely. It was scary. PHYSICS WORKS

  • @AOJamm yeah dude its hell sacry......and how about your adrenaline levels ????

  • every time i try it I cant land it i always land on my knees. ANY TIPS PLEASE!

  • I really want to practice parkour. The problem is that I have a full day so I don't really have time to find a good park to practice at (plus I don't live in a town with good walls for practicing at/on). Any tips for good things to practice on that are in/around my home? Thanks.

  • A little problem I have is that I tend to do the two foot jump instead of the single foot jump. The reason I have trouble with the single foot jump is that I feel like I won't get high enough to clear the obstacle, although with the two feet I go perfectly over it. Can someone help me with this?

  • Comment removed

  • I have a little problem when i try to jump all the way through my hands, i always end up moving my legs to the right like im going to sweep my right hand and landing on the object im trying to jump over....  but when i practice like im about to jump over like you do in 1:50 i have no problem landing my feet in the middle of my hands any Suggestions

  • @chingoblingers try pointing your toes straight back and stay tucked while you move past the object. Pretend there is ropes tide around your toes and someone is pulling you feet straight behind you

  • @chingoblingers just lean forward a little bit more !

  • Hey, Jesse! I really love parkour, but there's one problem... Or two. Or three. Anyways!! My house is parkour-proof, so I can't really practise here, and the same with the condo I'm living in! Aaaaaaaand I moved to this unsafe country for a year, so I can't go into the streets!! I know I love this sport, but I've stopped practising on the big wall I have (can't climb it because it's like... 24 feet high or something....) I want to do this but I've stopped doing it sort of..... What should I do?

  • @chingoblingers Your feet doesnt need to pass through your hands, just once your feet goes bast the other side or even just before that you can let go of your hands and gravity will do the rest

  • @ekojk1242 I completely agree!

  • Comment removed

  • @chingoblingers what your gonna wanna do is try doing it just standing still then after like 3 times take a couple steps back and land on the object with your feet in the middle .... i think the best way to kong while beginning is over a table ... just saying in my opinion

  • Is it really so hard!?!?

  • hey, any tips because i keep clipping my feet

  • @MrPingus123 Yes point your toes back and stay tucked longer. Your head should be forward with your feet back. Most people try to open way to soon. Just stay tucked and you will go further and fly longer. Also make sure you are arching up and over like a rainbow with an intention to jump way over the object even if you hands never touched. (but of course you have to touch your hands to help reset yuor feet and push away to give you more distance) feel free to post a video response

  • its look easy but it is really hard !!!!

  • can you make palm flip tutorial ?

  • I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong. Whenever I do the kong over a table or something I always curve my legs. Apparently it doesn't "look" any different. (asked friends who were watching) but it "feels" like I'm doing it wrong. What is it that's not letting my legs follow through without curving them to the right or left or opening my knees to the sides?

  • long ppl can do monkey vault ??

  • those long people can preform monkey vault am 182cm lol

  • Nice tutorial Jesse! Can you please do a Dash Vault Tutorial?

  • Your the best! Really, The other people say how to do it and just do it and explain it in 1 min but you are great you take a while to explain it! And you take your time unlike others!

  • Good tutorial man!

  • Thanks alot man, once my cast is off and my leg is useable again I'm doing parkour!

  • Is parkour dangerous? I mean snap bones dangerous. Coz I always seem to break bones in extreme sports eg: BMX. if it's not that dangerous I'm doing it, coz I already broke 3 bones in 4 month. And got a op with one.

  • @iOwnCoDMan21 Parkour is only dangerous to those who push to hard to fast. Our bodies have the potential to do the most incredible things but this does not just happen over night. We most learn to walk before we learn to run. We must learn to fall before we attempt to fly. We must take time to know our limits before we can set our goals. Parkour is only as dangerous as you make it. Train Safe!

  • i do kong vaults differently lol i jump waaaay earlier than you and by the time im at the whatever i want to vault i'm practically horizontal and still manage to bring my feet through, is this a different trick or am i just doing it wrong? i love parkour and change around most tricks and have made a few ^.^

  • I'm gonna start training since it's starting to snow here in Finland =D

  • I've been doing kongs for a while now but i've gotten into the bad habit of getting into it with a double footed jump. I need to learn to stride into it better. I just have this feeling that i'm going to bash my non jumping knee for some reason.

  • Hey Jesse. One of my issues is konging longer obstacles and, I guess its a kash vault, any pointers to help me. I have a hard time with my legs going between my hands or my hands dropping behind me (kash )

  • I know this guy does parkour for a living and Ive not even put up a youtube video ,but since everyone learns differently Id like to point out that you can skip a few steps by using a picnic table. Also once you start getting good going straight up has proven to be a big help for me. I hope this helps you all ,and jimmysreygreekfan the way I got over that was I had to dive over an object about knee high bout 3 ft away with a pad on the other side.

  • I can't do a monkey!!!

    I can do a moneky stand kinda but only one leg goes between my hands the other is outside the hands. I'm alsoo scared because i think that when i'll do it i'll go faceplant!!! Can u help me with that??

  • Can you please do a tutorial on Dash?

  • did my first kong yesterday, felt so good ^-^

  • @TheShadyToast KONGRATS!!!!!

  • @LaFlairParkour i dont know why but for some reason i cant do this the right way

  • The first time I attempted a kong. I bailed last second and my ankles caught the wall and I face planted in grass. And it was awesome.

  • man I don't think your so old for now I think your 19-20 years old and you started doing parkour when you was 20 answer how old are you now ?

  • @david97536 lol 26 

  • i have trouble with this cause of my size 13 feet clipping. help on that please? im about 9 feet tall, if that helps. subscribing to you for the answer.

  • @777teg Damn your tall, that should make it easier to jump over things! And jus make sure you point your feet back behind you like your toes have a rope tied to them and someone is pulling them behind you when you are going over. Also just stay tight and enjoy the flight of the move with out putting your feet down until you are way past the object

  • Really appreciate all the videos, helping me out alot. Keep up the good work.

  • 2 questions: how old were you when you started doing parkour?

    I still cant do the monkey vault but I can do all the others. Any tips???

    Please answer :)

    (sorry for the bad grammar Im spanish)

  • @magicplayer97 Just keep working at it, and be confident. I started when I was 20

  • thanx man pls make a tutorial of the correct placement of the feet when landing a high jump and rolling coz i always seem to feel a lot of impact when i jump thanx

  • double kong ????????????????????????????

  • For some reason every time i try a kong i think ill clip my feet and face plant(which did happen today lol) i have only really begun parkour at the start of last month. I have tried lazy vault and can do it good but i want to go to the next level. Do you have any tips???

  • hey can you do a back flip off a bar tutorial

  • i wanna do this stuff real bad, but i feel like i need to lose a little bit of my gut first haha. i can't bring my palms flat on the ground while my feet are down

  • I learned this myself. Now I am trying to do backflips.

  • can you help me with my run up because i always shuffle to get my feet into place however i can get loads of distence

  • hey bro, tx for the video. I did my kong today 7-8 times, but fell down on the next one as I try to do one leg jump rather than 2 legs together. I ended my right knee hit the wall, half dead now, can barely walk. I can't decide whether i'm left or right footed. any advice on single leg jump?

  • if you do a dive BEFORE you put your hands on the obstacle, you get much more speed and you land at a further distance!

  • is it hard

  • What shoes are those?

  • i do clip my feet but i have my legs tucked in as much as possible to my chest :@ ....

  • I really love your videos, even if I can wall run or vault i still watch your tutorial because i had to learn my parkour by myself, so little tips like pushing out is a good one.

    Anyways, can you pose a tutorial for double kong and tell me if you think its actually useful or is it just for style.

  • @DjAstral100

    It is useful, since you cant lazy or even dash vault lengths you can do with a kong.

  • @supermec131 I know that kongs go farther, im asking if double kong go farther than normal kong vault, but i got my awnser but thanks anyway

  • Can you do a tutorial of the vault thats kinda like a reverse kong? The one where you jump, bring your legs in front of you, and then put your hands down? I think thats how it goes :)

  • @zachrock101 its called a dash. And yes I will do one soon.

  • @LaFlairParkour hey thanks to your tutorial i can now do a kong vault. one problem though, i cant land them. I always land on my knees and shins. Any advice on how to practice landing, on my feet preferably, i am okay with ending in a pk roll if i have to but my knees and shins are starting to hurt. please respond. thanks.

  • thank you again and KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!! peace ; D

  • I own you sooo much... I' v been trying monkey vaults for several months and never really succeeded. I got injured sometimes... : ( But then I found your channel.

  • hey i do a bit of free running myself and i have a bit of trouble climbing up walls from a cat leap land i always slip down again i was hoping if u could make video on that thanks

  • I'm 20 but I'm only 5"5. I suppose it's tough to find things that suit my height/jump ratio for a kong.

  • damn plane!

  • what about some front flip for freerunning'

  • thumbs up if u think this vid is awsome ;)

  • this is just genius work, especially for the ones like me that are just starting up, thx so much. keep up the good work!!!

  • I climbed up mah school yesterday! WHOO btw todays my birthday

  • @ArT1Tuvsho

    this isnt twitter :P

  • The one kid who disliked this video tried this and fell on his face.

  • The one kid who was 8 and thought he was hot shit after watching this video fell on this face and disliked this video. EVERYONE else shares their love! LOL

  • can u make a wallrun video

  • Thanks a lot

  • @super1337FTW his tutorials also helped me too

  • Jesse you have to make a double kong tutorial it'll help alot

  • i was scared at first then a saw your tutorial and was like fuck it and did it :)

    your tutorial helped me become a beter parkourist by teaching me not to be scared and that pain is temporary but quiting is forever

  • On of my friends taught me this:) He just said "You can do" "DO IT" And i did it=D

  • I live in an extremely rural area, so I had pretty much given up on the idea of learning. But watching your tutorials I jury rigged a practice gym in our garage with saw horses. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @HuascarT99 lol hahahaha well hopefully it blooms into a little more then sneaking out of the house (or in for that matter).

  • Im going to end up killing my self try to learn this...

  • for that short of a wall i would probably just jump on it or tac to it for a precision most of the time or just tac over it, not really kong, and i ftheres no walls around then i would just jump over it or onto it probably, i cant really find a reason that you would need to kong

  • please make a double kong tutorial soon

  • Really nice tutorial! : D

    Just want to say, that if you land properly with both feet before you do the vault, with already bent knees and pushes as oppose to stomping, it will not kill your speed or your knees! : D Acctually, doing from both feet works better for me! ^.^

  • you rock, LaFlair!

  • Comment removed

  • "I'm gonna teach you a way to get to the Kong without killing yourself." Oh, good...I hate when I kill myself XD.

    Thanks for the Tutorial. Really great.

  • @Westilchester LOL hahaha

    

  • @Westilchester Haha! :P

  • Dude!!! You ROCK!!!

  • @nessmalone Thanks!

  • Also if you are going to kong a table or any other long width object make sure you "Eye Your Spot". What that means is as your running up to kong the object, keep your eyes focused on were you are going to put your hands, which should be at the very end of the table or object so you can clear the object and project yourself further.

  • Can you show us how to do a front flip?
