Very nice, danny.  For not having any website-designing experience, it looks very clean.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it; I am just trying to figure out how to make the music automatically play as soon as you open up the site.

P.S. How is the area down in the keys?

Well to begin with, just make sure that your legs absorb some of the impact before you even begin to roll; A lot of people always just try to roll as soon as their toes come into contact with the ground! So when you absorb impact with your legs, try not to go beyond 90 degrees, as soon as you hit around that 90 degree mark, you should begin rolling! Another hint is to be leaning slight forward when you come to the ground, and always land on the balls of your feet!

To get the music to autostart, just add this at the end of the script:

autostart="true" loop="true" volume="50%"

That should work.  Just modify the volume and if you want it to loop or not.

As for the roll, levi made an awesome tutorial on the roll: http://www.americanparkour.com/content/view/2260/158/

I use the scoop method that was mentioned.  While my left hand is touching the ground and I am in a crouch position, my right hand scoops under my left armpit and my head follows through... at least that's what they taught me in my martial arts class.

that tutorial is more for people who can already roll and want to perfect it.  i wouldnt suggest learning from that video as a beginner.

Well, 1:16, 3:05 both have valid points on the roll that benefits everyone.

The physics behind the roll is being explained in the video.  Most youtube videos just show you how to roll. I like being able to know the physics behind it.
