get well soon, i remember when i broke my hand, i was so mad that i couldnt do parkour

[Blankenship]

can you do Parkour with just one hand?

[Guffaw]

its hard to do it with one hand, vaults are about 3 times as hard with one hand

I remember breaking my hand doing a nice kong vault.

And, no doubt, I continued to train one-handed just fine. Hell the extra weight of the cast helped my spin faster when practicing freerunning.


Hands heal rather quickly though, generally speaking, enjoy your break I guess. Hah.
