Just a thought, but why not invest in a bouldering mat and some climbing shoes? As it's just for training purposes, the mat will give you some added safety and the shoes will make those small edging and smearing moves alot easier. Very nice vid though.

@Gronked I have bouldering mats but I never felt outside of my comfort zone enough to use them on any of the stuff in this video. Climbing shoes are good but thats not what I would have when doing parkour, so I like to keep it more like a real scenario.

Isnt it a training for the rock climbers?

[DemonDrills]

@thedeathwar Depending on the situation, climbing is parkour.

Right;

Me and a friend have been participating in Parkour for about a year now.

We've progressed pretty well; climbups are pretty decent. We've had the undesirable injuries (Heh... What's Parkour without Injuries?) :P

My question is;

What motivates you?; what is it that keeps you going, even in the bleakest of times?

Thanks in regards.

Ryan & Kris.

@ConditionTV There is always something you can train. If your ankle is hurt, focus on handstands and muscle ups. If your wrist is hurt, focus on precision jumps. What we do is so diverse that you can always find something to train physically or mentally, even if you are hurt.

Dude, have strong forearms, one question, though, do you play any musical instrument? Because I play some and I'm kinda worried having such strong fingers will, eventually, inhibit my speed.
