Please keep in mind there are many paths that you can take to reach the same destination. In these parkour and freerunning tutorials I will be breaking down the movement the way I know how. These are not the flashiest videos, and I do a lot of talking, but please take the time to listen and I am sure you will learn a lot.

ONE STEP WALLFLIP INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEGINNERS:

Step 1: Safety first!!!! This is an extremely dangerous move and can result in serious injury and even death. (Sorry I don't mean to scare you but its true) If at all possible use a spotter (http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Wall-Flip). In my professional opinion an understanding of the Tic-Tac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S9LFHETtL0) and the Backflip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwbAZMlRMX0) are very important. Competence = Confidence and if your not ready for this move physically and mentally don't try it! (Most parkour injures occur because lack of commitment and trying to bail halfway through.)

Step 2: Just like in the tic tac tutorial you are going to need to approach the wall with a little bit of speed so that you can get grip on the wall. (Forward momentum (If your leaning back right) will transfer into grip.)

Step 3: When approaching and stepping up onto the wall the space between your body and the wall should not be too big or too small, this would result in your foot being to far up or two low for a proper push off.

Step 4: Spot the place that you are going to put your foot on the wall and begin to jump up and place the ball of your strong foot around hip high in front of you. (At this point your body should be leaning away from the wall on a 45 degree angle)

Step 5: Your arms should be swinging up from behind you to help give you height as your foot pushes up and into the wall NOT JUST BACK. (Remember get height then get tight)

Step 6: After spotting and placing your foot you can begin to swing your opposite knee threw as hard as you can while starting to throw your head back to spot the ground.

Step 7: This is where you can choose to tuck tight to generate a faster rotation or open up for a slow laid out flip (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE ADVANCED).

Step 8: Spot (look at the ground underneath you and see where you are going to land) your landing and then land on the balls of your feet and gently absorb the impact of the ground by bending your knees.

TWO STEP WALLFLIP INSTRUCTIONS:

Repeat steps 1 thru 3 but with slightly more of a run up.

Step 4a: Spot the place that you are going to put your foot on the wall and begin to jump up and place the ball of your weak foot slightly below hip height. (At this point your body should be leaning away from the wall on a 45 degree angle) Continue up the wall and now place your strong foot at least a couple feet straight above your other foot. The Wall run tutorial should help with this (http://youtu.be/08x3P2E122U)

Step 4b: It is important to watch the placement of your second foot! This will not only help later on with doing this trick on narrow areas but will also keep your body up longer and allow you to do a higher more properly controlled 2 step wall flip.

And then continue to follow steps 5 thru 8

  • Hey man your editing on this video is amazing what video editing program did you use

  • @22B0NES I use final cut pro 7, the set up is on a tripod single shot, an understanding of where I am so I dont stack myself (stand infront of myself) and then a layer and cropping.

  • jesse i never do my wall flips on slanted cause i kept moving forward when i did my wallflip and landed on my neck so it was like a gainer wall flip haha

  • @FreelyRun1 you just need to watch your foot get planted and push off and that would never happen.

  • Thank you so much Jesse ! This helped me so much I got it first try! :D

  • @GrayhamCracker AWESOME!!!! PLEASE SHARE
