wow, another jimmy! i have never met anybody with my name. cool. anyway, it is making me pay a dollar so i can play your video, and i dont want to go through the hassle, so maybe you can host it some other way.

i have to go, so i can't leave a long comment, but i will say, Don't tell people you are doing parkour, because you are not. also, don't make another video for at least 6 months.

You can make another video if you want, Klaymen is mearly suggesting that you wait until you have developed your parkour skills to another level before releasing another video.

I would work on your landings/rolls not jsut for your next video but for your own safety. Your are doing larger jumps than you can safely take without being able to roll correctly. Landing shouldn't be comparable to falling down and then rolling on the ground, your momentum needs to be carried out through your roll from the landing, roll more at a diagonal rather than just sideways across your back. This will not only allow you to absorb the impact better but also allow you to transfer it into forward momentum.

welll for one this isnt me, my friend wanted me to just put some crap together, and he does need to work on rolling we all know, and all of these jumps we safel do without dying without rolling so meh, its all in fun so i dont care if people flame, but i was practicing editing.......oh well...........i just got my front flip while running yesterday, so yay

[Altimot]

ya, tell your friend to work on rolls. i think the way he is doing it is hurting him more than if he didn't roll at all lol.  , but it is your first video, so unless you're friend is some crazy learner, then it is definitely not surprising that he doesn't know everything yet.

[Michael Zernow]

Death is only one part of safety it also applies to having broken bones, intact spine, brain function, working knees 20 years from now...so forth.

all of these jumps we safel do without dying without rolling so meh

oh my bad.....hm.......well, just keep going and if you pass that point, then maybe it's time to slow down a little. my point was, that this video is very wreckless, and if you keep it up you will not be able to walk when you get older. just because you don't get hurt right then, doesn't mean it is safe or good for you. honestly, i don't care if someone hurts themselves by jumping from something that they know is way to high, i just care if they call it what i am doing, and then people here what i do and think i am that wreckless. (myabe i am just in a bad mood, i don't know...............)

[konfydence_parkour]

i respect your opinons

[Jon Andrew Nease]

haha, long as your at the not dying try doing flips off that stuff 

Seriously some of that looked painful!  I think it would be on level ground with some of the parkourvideos i've seen that "count" on here if you konged stuff instead of jumping over, and editted better so it didn't show the retarded stuff before/after tricks and jumps
