Hello All! Im new :D
« on: March 15, 2010, 01:29:12 PM »
Hi guys!
My name is Harrison/Harry, Im 16, and I like to parkour. Ever since I was a kid I enjoyed climbing over things and jumping over stuff. I like the freedom of it and ever since I found parkour I loved it.

I cant do too much crazy stuff so far but I can do kong vaults and monkey vaults, etc. And Im good with wall running and climbing. So I think I got the basics down which is a good first step for me. You guys got any advice to help further myself into flips and wall spins and whatnot?

I live in the suburbs so theres no chance of an academy teaching me T-T

Thanks!

Welcome!

This probably isn't what you want to hear, but work on your landings and rolls. They're things that are even more basic than vaults and wall work.

Flips and tricks are flashy and "cool," but I can definitely tell a great practitioner from a mediocre one by the effort he/she puts into landings and rolls.

Yeah I understand completely, I want to learn the right way, not missing steps and having to backtrack and work on them again.
Thanks for the advice!
