How to do Parkour : Parkour Equipment

[robertletsplays]

What's a good way to make normal shoes grippy?

[xTHExPENATRATORx]

Can someone tell me where to buy one of the same sports holster he has Ive been looking for one for a while...

[blakhawk0987654321]

"or shoes would be good" is what he said and this happened.... (COP) Hey you, don't you need some clothes on (ME) uh, well i got this from youtube... (COP) OH< WELL CARRY ON THEN< YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY SIR!

[nLmRw]

Prefer going naked.

[Necromorph0]

I usually use k swiss when i train. Im definetlu going to check out the sports ulcer tho

[funkeydavid]

WOuld asics be good parkour shoes, or pumas

[sparrowbat97]

Ebay

[pantero99]

were do you by all that

[likeaboss1641]

ya i dnot like to use the toe shoes

[likeaboss1641]

use airmax nike for the shoes

[JREALLZ0700]

@likeaboss1641 This is a good idea that i kinda agree with but speeking from personal experience i find it better to use the toe shoes because they help build up the natural allignment of the body and to be honest they increassed my ballance 10 fold {not really} but all and all i could feel the differance in my abbilaties but at the same time not just wearing a certian shoe makes just anyone better or to be honest even more it could just all be in my head so doing what feels good on you is best

[wingedsoul]

I tried the knee support but then my knee busted worst because it gives you false sense of security... Don't use supports unless you are trying to do light activity while injured.

[mynameismrlamp]

you shouldnt have extra padding it promotes bad technique

[david76835]

thanks so much i have osgood schlatter syndrome in my left knee and i love pk so thanks

:)

[adrian321a]

what about DC shoes they got awesomegrip and theyr awesome for parkour i mean theyv worked for me

[smart1patryk]

@adrian321a

They work (ive been using em) but I personally wouldn't recommend them, as the sole is thin for boardfeel as they are skate shoes (used to skate so I know) and that leads to less protection on the foot, i would also know as I bruised me heel just this sunday lol

[coredy1]

airmax nike?

[Skatesfy]

i just use loose clothes and trainers........ just dont wear a watch put it in ur pocket

[mattaobrown]

No gloves, no nifty back-vest things. Be a man, get a backpack, use your bare hands.

[thecookie354]

and i can get some of these where?

[SenorSlipShot]

i have to say that the best kind of parkour shoe is the 5 10. there really sturdy. amazing grip and cushion and they look good to so thats a plus. but for the barefooters, go with the 5 finger toe shoe.

[gogomana12]

I have osgood schlatter :[

[oOKaileeOo]

skele-toes or 5 finger toes work GREAT too

[evymetal95]

i have k.swiss ariakes with polysorb insoles, and the soles really help reduce impact and make them much more confortable.recomended

[adammurphy]

video becomes informative at about 3:34...

[mvpqbjeremy]

were do i buy that backpack thing

[japz321]

@videowizzard1 Damm Right Dude!!!

[bizzle246]

video title: parkour equipment

guy in this video: "best thing about parkour is you need really no equipment at all."

...

[sublimeguy100]

I use FiveFingers

[Couchpotato9110]

Wat about a cup?

[88dirtbiker1]

when i do a roll it hurts my shoulder in back any suggestions

[DannielRodriguez]

@88dirtbiker1 put both of your hands into it and try to push of a little bit . so it be softer ..

[ezkiller93]

@88dirtbiker1 You can look at the UrbanCurrent's Basic roll, and Advanced roll video, they explained it pretty nice. I'll PM you with the video links :)

[paintballz4ever]

they should really look into producing light weight padding on shirts and pants, especially for rolls on asphalt. Why havn't they done that yet!?

[wrestler8326]

@paintballz4ever Hey if you want lightweight padding they have shirts (made really for football to put under pads) that have shoulder back and side pads VERY light weight and i think around 50 dollars at hibbets try looking on amazon youll prob find them for 30 or less

[Jameslikespudding]

yes if you're doing parkour then you should have ID incase you fuck up and die 8D then they can identify you and not your parents looking at a bloody pancake or sumthing raped by a bear

[JournalManTV]

I did parkour and peeled off a callus on my upper hand... my excuse for using gloves so I don't waste my time healing

[wondrer100]

u forgot about the white cloak what cover ur eyes , throwing knifes hidden sword and another sword...thats all! sheesh

[THESCENEQM]

i use k swiss to but that is an awesome backpack i could hide a blade in that

[freakinshenk]

i love looking at the comments for parkour videos, at some point they will have some random comment. like the one rated highest on this video.

[Lastwatched]

well, if u ONLY need to use shoes, WHY THE F*CK DONT EVERYBODY JUST RUN NAKED AROUND?!?!??

[orfjackal]

Not even shoes are necessary - if you're good enough. Going barefoot (or having very thin shoes) is great for practicing technique, as you'll feel every small mistake right away.

[kratos12gow]

@japz321 Parkour not Assassins creed Dumbass!!!!!

[gtamayo55]

NIKE's :)



[graveslash1]

are they special free running shoes?

but i wear the new F50 adidas boots.

yes the ones orange ones that messi used to wear :)

[acbm]

i do it in additas shell toes

[K41LIS0]

if anyone would send me the link for the the sports holster / the thing on his back that would be very helpful : )

[NovaMimsPKTV]

All i wear is a WFPF draw string back pack to carry my things needed to move from spot to spot, KO shoes, a blue I <3 BOOBIES! bracelet, sweat shorts or pants, and a light colored shirt or hoodie for the cold days

[rubensdtj]

wats that thing called that he has on his back

[mkid33]

For the shoes, are nike trainers okay?

[yukariniro05]

I refuse to learn from expert village

[paigerrooo]

does anyone else notice how often he says "uhh."

[SLYGUNNER1881]

It helps with _____ Slaughter Syndrome.

[VICJR98]

why do you need ID?

[google0900]

@VICJR98 If you find yourself trespassing while free running, and the police notice and ask you for ID, you can be fined if you are unable to present it

[PkRUKofficial]

... ive never used gloves in my life all i used id some god foam filled shoes

[straaler5]

you don't need any equipent at all. NAKED PARKOUR :D

[xTwinBladEx]

@straaler5 what if you fall when trying to climb a wall? and you scrape yourself against the wall ouch

[Dennyboy190]

Gloveds are bad you need to get use with the grips on your hand its not like ur gonna have your gloves all the time

[assassin41640]

i use k-swiss

[HairofSteel555]

@assassin41640 I use Converse, Chuck Taylor high tops FTW

[alucardrh]

how do the five fingers shoes rate for parkour?

[MrDrTutorial]

He's not gellin.....

[bionicles3688]

i am 15 old and i do free running without those things... i were shoes sometimes.. but mostly bare footed... n my school.... and its really big with a chapel... a hall.... four building .. 2 swimming pools , 2 grounds a tennis court

( 4 to be exact) 2 basket ball courts ... so doing free runing in our school is just fun....

[kutari]

@bionicles3688 wow, thank you for describing your living area for us. now we can all know, congratulations

[cole12267]

i bet of soles in your shoes that youve used for a year smell good :p

[sfizstr]

Nice video camera for mid 2006!

[MGCFilmss]

anyone know a brand of good grip shoes

[Flat0506313609]

Uh I'm practicing parkour n I wear finger less gloves, yeh they protect me from scratches on my palm but wen I climb s really tall wall (9-10 Feet) I sumtimes cut my finger, this time I bleeded a little, I was thinking of wearing small bandages on the middle of my fingers, can anyone tell me if thts bad or gud?

[Jolly0915]

Scrapes and bruises are a necessary part of parkour, it's how you toughen up those areas that get hit the most. You shouldn't need insoles or knee support if you're landing correctly and not jumping from unecessarily high heights. Any shoe that's comfortable, grippy, and lightweight will work just fine.

[japz321]

All You Need Is a Hidden Blade,White Hood, Sword, Hidden Gun And Throwing Knifes!!!! Your All Set :D

[xsilenthunderx]

@japz321 i was playing brotherhood not too long ago >.>

[TheDantestopher]

@japz321 am i the only guy here who has beaten and watched the boring credits to unlock the freeroams on all of the assassins creeds???? all i hear now a days is brotherhood brotherhood brotherhood dam raughten kids ;( lol

[japz321]

@TheDantestopher And Now Revelations...................­.....Im Such A Assassin's creed FAN

[TheDantestopher]

@japz321 well my gameinformer just came in so i just found out the moment i read your post hahahahah

[ITSAJACKLE1234]

@japz321 true :D

[brarchiron]

@japz321 but you need 2 be ezio auditore di firenze for that!!

[JecleJoe]

@japz321 Assassin's creed style xD

[4shirogane]

@japz321 then u can be an assassin

[jacomendez]

@japz321 Hell Yeah! XD

[K41LIS0]

@japz321 i like the way you think



[ANDYtheEWOK]

@japz321 on assassins creed it says freerun you fucking idiot

[japz321]

@ANDYtheEWOK NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[xlayer1]

@ANDYtheEWOK freerun and parkour are the same basic thing

[ANDYtheEWOK]

@xlayer1 there not tho. parkour is a-b as fast as possible

[HairofSteel555]

@xlayer1 Freerunning and Parkour are very different. A Traceur practices parkour and Are commonly referred to as "Purists". They spend all of their time perfecting practical techniques and creating new techniques to accelerate performance and to conserve energy while still performing various techniques at peak efficiency . A "Freerunner" will be seen performing street stunts like flips and such, WASTING energy on pointless techniques that get them nowhere. Traceur will beat a Freerunner in race.

[xlayer1]

@HairofSteel555 read the comment carefully

BASIC BASIC BASIC i understand they they are different but they are the same BASIC thing

refering the stunts jumping running climbing flips ect that is what i was refering to....

[HairofSteel555]

@xlayer1 Yeah sorry, but hey, this comment is now here for anyone else, such as ANDYtheEWOK, that really don't understand the differences

[xlayer1]

@HairofSteel555 alright

[wrestler8326]

@japz321 You are my new Hero

[99darkhawk]

@japz321 I have a black hoodie and my shoes :D

[leonardoluiss02]

@japz321 or, you can develop the ability to see everything in white and red

[japz321]

@leonardoluiss02 damm right dude

[ezio4life99]

@japz321 yep

[robertstojs]

@japz321 AGREE!

[Jurvay]

@japz321 You're*

[Jurvay]

@japz321 Oh and knives* too

[TheEpicPringles]

To tell you the truth all of that stuff is un needed most go around with pants and skater shoes the skater shoes are probably best because they dont take a lot of money add those insouls if your a wuss and your golden

[MrBaMaBoY025]

Scusatemi per fare parkour cosa ci vuole di preciso,brevemente potete dirmelo commentando ciò che ho detto,grazie in anticipo.PS ci vogliono delle scarpe apposta per farlo,cioè che sono + adatte alle superfici ecc.?cmq peccato cavolo che non è in italiano

[RazzerKirk]

what is better to do parkour, jobby catchers or trackies.

[AKxMIJO]

where can you buy a sports holster?

[Mrbusterfish]

i really do recomend wrist support! for the rest good shoes/pants!

[MrBlazex0]

Good pair of pantz,good pair of shorts,good pair of shoes.Ok,wait wHAT ABOUT SHIRTS?

[kevinwewe]

Oh, AND every person who is good at parkour is good at playing catch.

[transformer2331]

@kevinwewe football players should do parkour then

[kano879]

jeans would not be ok? (question) please reply, anyone

[curse560]

@kano879 i would not ware jeans becuase the cratch can rip when leaping with one and foot if you have fringes on the bottom that can mess with tracktion and could trip you i recomend sweet paint with elastic on the bottoms

[rocky683]

I'm gonnna have to say that the the k-swiss ariakes are some really good parkour shoes. They have good cushion and traction and are actually made specifically for parkour and free running.

[0funny1]

I'm just gonna go with a pair of shoes and gloves :) not all tht crap tht he said

[BryceCraig96]

@NiggazWannaShootGunz

A majority of people don't say it that way, nor does the company. Also if you are going to pull me up for something like that, try not to make yourself look like a dumbass.

Thats how you say it properly, dumbass.*

[XTREMEdemon28]

anyone notice that the words are white and his shirt is and you can even read it

[Bestgameplayer10]

He said duty/doody.

[Lorababy100]

can u use new balance shoes

[BryceCraig96]

I liked him until he pronounced adidas werid.

[NiggazWannaShootGunz]

@BryceCraig96

thats how you properly say it dumbass

[TacoPK]

K-O shoes are probably your best bet when it comes to shoes I think because they are lightweight, they have good shock absorbtion, and they are made by WFPF

[TWparkour]

You dont need anything to train parkour

but........

A bag would help alot, it doesnt matter about the size of your bag coz people take it off when there training. All as I take with me is a bag with food in it, a bit of money, and thats it. No ID, you dont even need it ID lol. Gloves dont help coz your hands will get calasis anyway. My shoes cost £10 not £110. Knee supports you only need when your knee is injured. This guy is an idiot.

[OxiC3x0]

ID When ur doing parkour i laughed !!!

[AddictedGamer4Ever]

My 20 euro shoes are fine enough for parkour, They only last 3 months. But I have that with all my shoes :3

[XXjohnnySixx223XX]

can i wear vans when i do this

[zoeartemis]

@XXjohnnySixx223XX maybe you can. but i think it just to heavy and its not flexible anyway.

[TeamOranges]

@XXjohnnySixx223XX If They Are Like Rabens Flat Soled Then No They Have No Support And You May "Pull A Hemi"

[XXjohnnySixx223XX]

@TeamOranges i was thinking that

[jerking2011]

i have the osgood schlatter syndrom i do muay thai often i bot one of those bands. not that brand same look just not the brand is that ok?

[MrPhongsai]

@jerking2011 IM THAI! XD

[magemager0]

if you condition yourself and rough up your hands well enough i think you should be fine.

[DawgFL]

Equipment for parkour? What's the point of practicing efficiency, when you really need parkour and you're stuck trying to climb a wall and you forgot your gloves? Doesn't seem like parkour to me. I say, just do it. (no reference to nike)

[jakesnake237]

@PostApocalypticGames i just googled it but i think that they are a ripoff because why would you pay $50 fr one of those when you could get a good pair of cargo pants (or shorts) for about $18-$25

[jakesnake237]

would the Intimidate BOUNCE TR Shoes by Adidas be good for parkour?

[Jimmymillmo]

@jakesnake237 great for parkour

[loderian]

@PostApocalypticGames

Won't let me post the link, so i'll tell you its on Think Geek's site. I'll PM you the link.

It's a different style of holster. The largest pockets are near your arm pits, so then it won't really get in the way when trying to muscle up a wall.

Also, if you face plant, your iPod or cellphone in the main pockets won't get smashed like the one with the pockets in front.

[juicedmaster]

Best pair of parkour trainers ive found are the K-Swiss Ariake, amazing grip and amazing cussion, very comfortable, however they WILL start to smell

[YouthFreeflow]

Never Ever Ever Ever Use Backpacks...Cos Sometimes You Forget That Youve Got Them On And You End Up Walking Around With Imprints Of A Water Bottle And Camera Up Your Back....:L

[wenstynemusic]

Adeeedus?

[Kamehamehadoken]

All you REALLY need is a pair of decent shoes. Pants are optional (pies are optimal).

[HSN1800]

wear can i buy gloves

[darkl0rds]

@HSN1800 any sporting store is necessary.

[rffboy]

this is what I ware

shirt -- just any shirt thats not to tight or baggy

pants/shorts-- I ware swet pants or cargose

Shoos-- I ware underarmour runing shoos

[infamous071]

[cooliopaganguy13]

Did he say Auchwich Slaughter Syndrome? I had no idea holocaust victims had bad knees...

[hacker22100]

@cooliopaganguy13 dude thats nit even funny fuck off

[cooliopaganguy13]

@hacker22100 You spelled SO wrong its "S-O" not "N-I-T-E-V-E-N"

[cooliopaganguy13]

@hacker22100 PLUS, please take a joke that wasnt even an insult to holocaust victims OR a statement that the holocaust was nothing. I fully understand what happened and plus my family's jewish.

[jimjamify92]

@cooliopaganguy13 hahahahahaha that's exactly what I was thinking

[ziptilt12]

[ziptilt12]

[moniquehendriks]

[333bigbadwolf]

[MsVikings69]

[bfilian]

[147147Justin]

I love ur parkours lesson coz you explain it pretty nice and it's easy to understand THX ^^ for this kind of lesson I LOVE IT

[zVexuz]

If you really think about.... What safety equipment can you wear. If you wear some it stops you from doing the sport. Plus don't try something without having it very easy.

[MrPunchYoNuts]

@zVexuz W00t?

[Tecktonik1115]

I have Osgud Schlater and its sucks :S

[cloak541]

this is parkour

people get hurt all the time

no safety equipment needed

[parkourNI]

fuck gloves, i was born hardcore...

[Spec0pps117]

@parkourNI *coughing* born...dumb...ass....

jk

[Danthemanlyman7]

Proper protection and safety comes from good form, not extra equipment and gadgets.

[BigBoss010100]

can somenone please send me a link of the adidas at 3:11? would be nice

[ChipmunkMix67]

When It's cold, I wear my joggers, t-shirt and a light jacket. When its warm, I just wear shorts + a t-shirt. I have to wear a t-shirt all the time, 'cause im a girl xD Oh and not forgetting my FILA hi-tops :D. Can't do much at the moment due to a broken finger + wrist. but oh well :D

[lantismckavanagh]

Please guy, stop with the "...erm" thing amongst sentences!

That's so unprofessional and annoying...

[DirtSpray]

All you need is a good pari of shoes, comfortable clothes, and a HUGE city.

[NarlepoaxIII]

STOP posting stupid comments! Nobody cares about how you only need normal clothes.  These things he's saying have real weight to your future, if you don't care that you will barely be able to move when your fifty due to arthrits from joint impact, then fine, but don't tell others to ignore saftey too...

[romojr3000]

i do parkour with a good shoes a pants 4 dont hurt my legs and with a sport shirt is very comfortable

[eightyeightdays]

Knee surgery - The best parkour equipment.

[thealmightysock]

ok so...

i got my knee pads.my shoes.my shoe soul thingy ma jig. that thing that looks like a backpack. now wat am i forgetting........

oh yea my wallet.

what wallet

[DescentFromHeaven]

THUMBS UP if you have only watched their guitar videos before! xD 1st one of mine.

[MonkeyKing4pres]

He's so stupid, he can't pronounce anything propperly

[Traceurino]

why doesn´t he do a tutorial how to go bicycling: "take water, clothes... with you" -.-

most fo all this you either should know anyway or the other stuff like kneesupport you should know to take along having been at the doctor or knowing from somewhere else that you gonna need them. but if your body is oky you don´t need it...

[CupcakeWolf]

Well you could use some clothes TOO..

[TheLoonetic]

this is bullshit.. All what you need is comfortable clothes, good shoes and the rest is all nonsense ...

[magicman5454]

Ok everybody dont wast money on the shoes asics wrestling shoes and nike football gloves work amazingly plus with the football gloves the whole palm is airated and rubber and the shoes are cheap and are built to have ALOT of grip.one more thing the asics have a pouch on the lips to tuck your shoelaces so no more tripping (thums up for deatail?)

[manefields]

i think that all you need is your body anuthink else wont change much on your training all you need is a pair of soes with big sole for the landings

[takemasu45]

OMFG I HATE EXPERT VILLAGE. fark.

[DescentFromHeaven]

@takemasu45 go look at their guitar videos! its A JOKE! u will laugh at them.

[takemasu45]

@DescentFromHeaven yeah i know! hahahha i play guitar. shockingly bad videos. and who would be stupid enough to say yes to being in their bullshit videos? LOL!

[DescentFromHeaven]

@takemasu45 i know right? I bet I could make better videos! i've only played about 11 months so far, but people think i've been playin 4-5.... EVERY TIME I need a confidence booster, I look at their guitar videos (:
