The squat is the fundamental exercise in developing leg strength. When done properly, squats build leg strength and flexibility that will aid in all kinds of jumps and landings. Leg strength is paramount in parkour for longevity and performance.

Levi, your feet are too close together, shoulder width man. and you are barely hitting parallel, you need to go deeper, and don't forget to angle your feet outwards a little. You are keeping them too straight. Most of all GO DEEPER.
