seems like you were extremely happy at that point in your life man

[unbelievablechris]

i like your vids your great dosnt it hurt when you land in that split?

[robinskate123]

nice beard jesus fliping XD nice video=p

[lolpancake12345]

i'm learning the splits, for my kicks and shit, :) got any tips on how to do it?? and can you have a look at my new sampler and tell me whats missing :( just doesn't seem right.

[parkour442]

Hey epic,you plan on coming to Ohio? There's a few places I want to try out but no1 really knows about it.

[2pacavelithedog]

hey epic do you train any martial arts?? it looks like you do wushu but i never see you doing wushu training...

[brokensilver1]

ive been thinking of making a sampler while but i'm really confused with music, how do you decide ur music epic? i've been tricking to forget the pain i have in the past... what do you trick for?

[Epic1]

@brokensilver1 I do it because it's fun... and I want to do it. It's a good release of energy. -lolz-

[brokensilver1]

@Epic1 yeah tricking is fun hahahha:D, but u didnt answer my first question about music??:D hahhahahah how do u decide ur music man?

[Epic1]

@brokensilver1 welll back in the day i'd just pick a GOOD TIMES song that had that CHHYYYYEEAAA vibe to it.... and made a video to that... but now i make my own videos.

[brokensilver1]

@Epic1 lol backin the day?? u know how old u sound epic? lol, good tip too thanks,

[1Tom18]

hey I noticed when you do your full twists you turn to your left and when you do your corks and cheat gainers you turn right did you just feel more comfortable twisting in those directions for those specific tricks or did you train to do the twists the opposite because I naturally feel i need to go to my right for my double leg but for every thing else I twist to my left so for combos should I try to train my double leg for left turning before I get to used to turning to the right

[HjeRmProduction]

wallrun tutorial wallrun tutorial!!

[parkour442]

dude epic ur my parkour idol!

[afrokeochi]

[natechaters]

soo sick... i like the 360 backflip off the bus. (srry if i got name wrong im not a tricker)

[Sumguyoverthere]

Good stuff Epic. Flips are still low lol. But besides that awesome video. Is it bad that I feel like with the beard you now have more abilities...like youre channeling Chuck Norris?

[Epic1]

@Sumguyoverthere aww stuff man! U gotta see my new gemini sampler... this was like beginning of the year... gemini sampler is that NEW STUFF. ^_^

[bigbw14]

it was so scary getting chased by this guy. lol.

[pjlarrybob]

Hey epic thanks for the tutorials I honestly think u should open up a shop down in sunny Cali btw do u care if use ur videos in our pe class

[Epic1]

i'd love to move to cali... but I'll need funding and more money than I currently have to buy a warehouse and equipment to start classes and such. But if I could start by having school programs or studios flying me down there to teach seminars and workshops, I'D LOVE THAT.

Sure you can use my vids in your classes.

[BigD9559]

Have you heard of the Free Running World Championships in England? I think you'd do pretty well there.

[MrKilometres]

what did you do to learn all the stuff you know

[peter2236]

[urbanmovements09]

[Epic1]

Bah!! NONSENSE!! I AM NOT THE NEXT OF THEM, I AM THE FIRST OF ME!!!!

But it is nice to be complimented to someone as philosophically applied as he is.

[Thatguythenewkid]

L_|

[DarkeRanPK]

Just a Question.

I Noticed that you Doin The Cork Of both legs.

Is You realy Do or its Some wierd Camera angle?

[Epic1]

a cork doesnt come off both legs.... a cork is only off one leg... if someone jumps off both legs and twists it's a full.

[DarkeRanPK]

No Dude

I Talked about i Saw you doing here cork from left leg and in another time from right leg.

[Epic1]

OHHH I'M SRY!! hAHAh yes, I can cork from both sides.

[DarkeRanPK]

wow thats amazing i think you the only one in the world!

[hamzaboy]

Man this guy reminds me of tht guy from prince of persia the game on xbox. Insane amazing man!!

[freakydicky123]

[hologram67]

[hindikoalamilalagay]

[Epic1]

[WH2695]

[Epic1]

i've been trickign SERIOUSLY for about 4 yrs. but martial arts.... i was in mixed martial arts for a while... and that taught me the basic kicks, and then i started experimenting more n learned the jump kicks and jump spin kicks. and go into capoeira, watched a lotta tkd and BLADDOW... LOOK AT ME NOW...now if the rest of the world can get this good, we can all be EPIC

[sakurahollow]

"A tree starts as a seed surrounded by many other trees."

lolz, that came from the top of my head o.o

[gohkko]

your really really good. could you tell me which of your tutorials i should use because i don't know any tricking and need something easy and could you tell me how long it took you to learn it. thank you

[darkness442003]

Dude if tricking was an olympic sport i know you take the gold. Also i would love to send you my two man fighting set i never completed i need to get your critique, holla if you're interested

[Epic1]

ohhh no no no, i'm not the best.

[darkness442003]

I put too much wind in the sails, hey your not alone people say i'm the best in Kung-fu i tell them the same thing no i am not the best, only through training and proper discipline you can do the same thing

[Lsmith95]

Also I love the vid 5 stars ^^

[waselau]

Very Good!! 5***** =)

[keenbean06]

[Linny7even]

you're my songoku epic <3<3<3<3<3 =D

[greytale]

Looks great, Epic... soooo awesome-looking and gives that "no effort" look. Even though of course it takes tons of work to train even a single trick. Thanks for posting.

[Zeiishi]

*_*

You look so graceful when you perform this...

[RuralRemnantsParkour]

Nice edit broskies :]

[Yebanoshi]

Insane, nice job...

[DenizakaSnake47]

one word : awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

you got some nice style there

[Shinthony]

Ive watched ur sampler so many times and still cant get enough =)

[mookun615]

dude I can really see how the momentum carries you through a backflip when you add a little flash kick on them. that really helps me, thanks

[ChrisAsamiyaPK]

chido amigo.

saludos de Mexico.

[sk8ingforever]

i love the flash at 1:53 it looks awesome!!

[Snakeelixir]

Holy fuck. Dude, you are so amazing, if i could become 1/8ths of how good you are i'd be the happiest man alive. 5/5! Keep up the good work man!

[A4Skyy]

That was insanely awesome! Very inspirational to. My nephew watched it with me and awed by it also.

[a2ment]

Little tip to you guys thats in love with this song (like me):

Download this video with Orbit or whatever you use and convert it into Mp3. Its as simple as that! :D

This video is awesome btw. Wouldnt dare to try those splits... (also because i cant -.- )

[AGENTORANGE1231]

epic no offense but your not the best free runner/tricker ive seen but something about you makes you really cool to watch and and your vids are really interestin

how do u do it?

[MrMaboMan]

he knows hes not the best. hes even admitted it nor does he think hes th ebest. but no doubt he is a very good free runner/ parkour. veyr good body control. what sets him aside from others is he makes himself liek a friend to us. you dont see other guys giving us tips answering our questions taking time to interact with thier fans. epic is unuique in that way has a greta personality and not just another face in the crowd. makes himself stand out. plain and simple... he is differnet xD

[DenizakaSnake47]

yeah I know what you are talking about but I have to say that Alessio da Col takes his time too to answer questions from people. I like sent him about 4 mails and he always tried to understand the problem I described and he always gave tips for me on how to solve the problems. Not every pro is like that actually

[Epic1]

Thanx a lot man, u've truly taken the time to know me... i appreciate what u said

[bobcatfacelol]

this may sound weird but everytime i watch your videos i get kind of mesmerized because your self control is uncanny, i mean i wish i could do at least half the things you do, i mean your balance is the best i would have busted my ass countless times if i tried to do what you done but i give you the props for going out and learning and mastering those skills

[Epic1]

mrmaboman speak the truth.

[MrMaboMan]

:) :D xD %D

[ivanlebanov]

epic you rock :) very good vid

[UrbanEyePK]

awesome moves great video 5/5

keep it up :)

[Shinthony]

Epic i like ur style =)

I just got one mini critic= u land to often into the split.

But the rest is great

amazing moves

good edting

cool musik

no comment anymore :)

5/5

keep it up greez from germany ;)

Shin

[Epic1]

whats wrong with landing in the splits!?! lmfao

[Shinthony]

Nothing is wrong with landing in splits!

You just do it too much times in the video...

I cant to that so respekt to you!

[Epic1]

lmfao... thanx... hahaha i do it alot in tricking combos, mainly cuz a lotta people don't do it, at least not that many times in one combo. So I like to stand out in that way. ^_^

[kazawazuk]

dats wicked blud..!!!

[unknownsav2o9]

Crazii

[ParkourFfm]

Awesome !

[SonicDeeHedgehog]

The purpose behind risking your life is what? To make cool youtube videos? Or do these people somehow make money off this?

[Diego7293]

The purpose of this is for fun

There's a lot of people who dont understand stuff like this, thinkin its just for show

[Epic1]

this is who i am, this is what I do... this is my passion, I am dedicated to this because I love it... I enjoy it. Yes people make money doing these things. Don't hate... get involved, or just understand and accept.

[WH2695]

well if u put it that way, u risk your life everyday. U really dont know wats going to happen next. Say ur in a train station, there is a possibility u could fall into the tracks, or walking in the street and some crazy mofo starts a driveby. Live life without fear in it cuz it will only stop u from doing things u like or love. Thats why i also do this sport and because ITS FUNN!!

lolz

[flip110077]

i feel the same way man

[Epic1]

it's a thrill, it's that DO OR DIE adrenaline rush. Many people seek that out, that's why lotta people race illegaly, join gangs for the thrill of sellin drugs and runnin' from cops, cappin bytchez. Why some people fight in UFC tourneys cuz that fight is a good way to hit that adrenaline rush. But the truly wise, have a secret that can't just be told, it must be... understood, and applied.

[WH2695]

so true

[Bzo215IndigoFlow]

GYAD-DAYUM!!! Tight work, Epic!

[MattQuinlanNZ]

Thats epic dude! I love all your vids. Keep 'em coming! =D

[hamsterluver1234]

ur absolutely amazingly incredible!!

[SyouxHM]

Uno de los mejores, como tu sobrenombre dice... Epic... you're the best man, keep on it ^^

[co2cart]

how can i download this song w/o using itunes...  i can't find it. oh and great video(of course)

[Epic1]

told u in the description, its a tough song to find.
