i have just started barefoot running, and i want to get into parkour. How do you keep your feet from getting scraped up and getting stubbed toes? And how about rough asphalt and such? Thanks so much, and AMAZING vid!

keep your wits about you.

That's good stuff! You should check out Vibram Five Fingers, they seem like they'd be right up your alley.

I don't really see the appeal. And they're mighty expensive.

if you feel the need to train high impact movements then just build up to them. Make sure you start small. Would also probably be a good idea to start weight training. Olympic lifting is a good way of conditioning the legs and posterior chain for high impact movement.

I finally un-socialized myself and learned to give up my shoes completely. I hike and jog barefoot whenever possible now. It's a joyous and liberating feeling. :o)

You have the prowess and agility of a cat, and it's beautiful to watch.

Good movement! The thought to most of having no shoes sounds scary. However, like Josh states, "Keep your wits about you." Now for me I am building up slowly wearing Vibram Five-Fingers when I go for a run (also because of the Texas heat of 107degrees & surface of cement 120degrees). Parkour I practice with shoes. Eventually, I will train barefoot when I free run! It's all about building up slowly with progression. Train strong and live free...

Peacefully Stay, Traceurs!!!

all light clothing, t shirt, shorts and barefoot in a natural environment, not many people on the streets and relaxing break beats music that's what parkour should be about. im going to go try this myself soon any tips for starting out? i have trained in plimsolls before so i should be OK

I always love wearing no shoes, I feel as though shoes are a false sense of security, a barrier between us and our environment that should definitely be overcomed once in a while by all true Parkour practitioners. [:
