@xPark0ur a little below your shoulder there is a soft muscle part that you should land on instead of actually using your shoulder to hit the ground, its more of a transition, so use that soft part thats a little behind your shoulder. i couldnt roll on hard surfaces before, but i heard that i should do that and i tried it out, and it worked. lol. and make sure to roll diagonally!! otherwise you will hurt your spine. hope i helped.

@keithtuber very simple? speak for urself, theres a group of people like me called parkour retards, it means it takes us probably years just to learn something a parkourist will learn in a couple of monthes. (according to what some people say though)

I'll probably actually pay attention to what he's saying later. At the moment, I find it useful to see what he's doing exactly, to replicate it in practice, before adding your own style to it. Parkour is all about having your own unique style, based on what your strong at, and what you are covering.

in response to girisepic99 watch urban currents advanced roll tutorial for problems with the spine hurting, the tutorial also includes shoulder hip, knee, and ankle problems as well as different variations of the roll
