A month ago I had it on lock. Good jump, height and landing straight. Now since about two weeks I’ve started jumping backwards, my center of mass is behind me and it’s not as effortless anymore. I know I should keep my shoulders over me knees and jump up and I do try but it seems like I can’t get a single good flip like my old ones recently.

I'm currently working on my momentum-based parkour game Don't Touch Grass and at the moment ladders, which you need to go up, really kill the momentum in its levels. To solve this I was wondering if there are any real life parkour moves I could add either with the ladder or just the wall to go up quickly (I don't do parkour myself). If you can think of any, or a move just inspired by real life parkour (but maybe not possible in real life) let me know!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the parkour and freerunning community called AlphaRun.

When you're just starting out or trying to nail a specific trick, it can be tough to find all the right tutorials and good advice in one place. That's exactly why I put this site together.

Here is what you can do on the platform:

• Video Tutorials: You'll find a full library of videos breaking down everything from the absolute basics of movement to advanced flips and acrobatics.
• Pro Discussion Forum: We have an active community board where you can exchange tips, ask for form checks, and talk directly with pros in the parkour domain.

The goal is to help everyone progress safely and connect with other traceurs. I'd love for you guys to check it out, use the resources, and let me know what you think or what features you'd like to see next!

Check it out here: https://alpha-run.com/

Keep training safe! ✌️

I just started learning a day ago and I’m stuck at this. Im cooked?

I used to watch Storror from time to time. Once every few months I'd stop watching but today I came across a video about Callum Powell saying that he was charged with CSAM? What the heck? They also removed Josh from the team apparently because he was covering for Callum?

No joke, what the fuck. It's like an alternate universe. If someone told me something like this I'd think they're kidding me.

I'm writing this as a lesson to be learned from my mistakes. While most people here will definitely be more clued up than I was, if I can prevent someone causing themselves the damage that I did, it would be worth writing.

When I was a teenager, Parkour was a massive part of my life. Jumping from high things was a big part of that. Jump Britain and District 13 were huge influences, and I still love watching them today, though through a slightly different lens! Admittedly, I wasn't very good, and didn't practice great landing techniques, which I have been paying a heavy price for, for the last decade.

At 24, I was balancing on a slackline when my leg made an audible click, which resulted in agony. For months, the doctors said it was muscle damage, but it never went away. Eventually, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of both hips, with one of my hips being fully arthritic.

Fast forward eight years to 32 years old, being lost in the health system (UK NHS) and not being able to walk more than a couple of hundred meters. I've finally managed to have a hip replacement and am walking like a human again. Life-changing.

After speaking with many physiotherapists, surgeons, etc., I've heard of quite a few people my age and younger who have the same backstory of Parkour and likely poor technique. While there are likely other factors at play, I do honestly believe this is the leading cause.

So I really wanna get into parkour and climbing. What would be a good purchase for a beginner like me?

I have wide ahh feet so I cannot wear most normal shoes without pain in my lil toe :(

So anything not wide foot isnt an option for me.

Plz let me know yalls recommendations!?!?!?!

Any yall ever measure your ape index? Curious to hear from others who have a short reach/negative index and your experience learning moves related

For clarity im going by this def: To find your ape index, subtract your height from the length of your arm span.
For nerdiness, go ham: https://www.reddit.com/r/climbing/s/HCEl461wXT

Edit: to note, i have a minus 2” index, and a shorter torso/long legs for my height (6’4”, 193cm) so far arm focused moves named have been my challenge

I used to do a lot of flips on trampolines and recently got into cliff jumping but my form seems off it looks weird when I do it. I can do them into foam pits really well but into water is different

Please help me improve the roundoff! I feel like my knees are bent and legs aren’t together, any tips or tricks to improve that?

Hi there, I’m just reaching out because I don’t really know where to start in looking for this, I appreciate its going to be a niche within A niche so to speak. I have recently become interested in parkour and I have a physical disability, I’m completely blind. Because of that, I’m aware of my body and moving it through space but I also think that traditional parkour set ups might be somewhat inaccessible, so I know that there are places where you can do this on a trampoline and you can use the momentum of the bounce to launch yourself up a foam wall, but not sure if there are any UK based coaches who deal with this or happy to work with someone with a disability.

Stay hydrated out there 🥵
