Landing - American Parkour - Parkour / Free-running

[IsNotWhatSheSaid]

...like a ninja

[PKpumped]

ive been landing like this for 2 years and my knees are fine because you use the muscels in your legs and not the fact that your knee wont bend any father to slow down and relise you only use this for smallish drops

[rkdude7]

why do they hafta tuck??? i don't get it it seems like the fall is harder after u extend back ur legs.

[Collin8843]

Ya, don't bend your knees more than 90 degrees, or you'll tear your ligaments, then you'll be sad.

[DesXboy]

Very baaaaad! look at his back and leegs!! xxDD

[gohanmaster]

No. This is completely wrong. As you can see , he bends his legs more than 90 degrees. Do this everytime you land and after a month you won't walk ;)

[mousey451]

do i need shock inpact trainers or is that a myth?

[Gpatwardhan]

i have dis question,.....

when u land .... I agree u land on toes....but should the heel touch the ground afterwards or should i try to avoid its contact altogether...

Help!

[1obxeclipsedriver]

From a video I've seen, it's optional. Really, you want to keep on the balls of your feet, since landing on your heels can really mess up your knees.

Parkour is EFFICIENT, rolling here would not have been efficient so he did not need to roll

[KighaHex]

I see not one roll in here...

[GJould]

I was replying to soldier front forgot to click reply.

[win713]

[legna77ogame]

vaya parida,eso lo ace asta mi perro

[soldierfront03050]

dude compleatly failed. in parkour your soposed to roll.

[sk8mad4life]

not if u dont need to jumping virticle u can just crouch but when u jump a long distance horizontal then its important that u roll

[danchiop]

yes but in high altitud,,,, lol

[Victisrage]

Parkour is about moving how you will. He chose not to roll, and instead he just landed it. That is what the video is about, just making a non-momentous land. *psst! look at the title* ;)

[MegaGrimson]

Umm i might be understood it wrong but Parkour isnt about how you move its about moving NOT showing off like a hypocrite

Parkour concentreates on fast efficient moving but free running isnt . its about showing off youre talkin about free running at your first word

[GJould]

[MegaGrimson]

yes exactly its EFFICIENT but rolling is efficient too if you dont use rolling while landing you might break your leg you know ??? (yes i like to fall from high places pffft ) if you still dont get it let me explain it.. when you land roll ... force from fall will be spreaded all over your body but if you dont it will only be absorbed by your legs.. got it ?

[soundsystem5]

it's all cool..i just wanted to say that Parkour doesn't need a name of any state ...it's world wide...

[soundsystem5]

i don't get it..you Americans,you just got to have everything in your way.what's with american part in the name..Parkour is just Parkour...don't commercialize it...you'll ruin everything with that kind of attitude..

[417031]

That is just to say that it is the parkour base for America, for example in Australia they could call it APK also, but instead

Australian Parkour.

[joethejanitor]

Thre is a difernce between freerunning (american parkour) and parkour. Parkour in french and involves lots of training and is more linear then freerunning(thus the word freerunning). Some people just prefer to call it american parkour, you shouldn't get so workd up about it.

[gamer5793]

american parkour is the name of the team retards they have one of the biggest pk websites in the world

[021CHRIS101]

like a ninja lololol

[jmckinney0040]

i would say that i might be better that you look at the ground as you land. i mean just for a sec so that your neck is in a more natural position, that way you dont strain it. :)

[jmckinney0040]

id say that you should look down so that your neck is in a natural position. i mean only for a sec but that way you dont strain your neck

[xXVacantHeartXx]

Should have included front roll back roll and side roll those are all esential for good parkour/ Free running

5/10 freerunners are the most silent shoes. The most ninja-esque. Flashblast: Ariake.
