Topic: Need criticisum on this vid

[greenfork1]

This was my first day trying to parkour . Ive been skateboarding for 7 years and wrestling for 6. so ive got some balance strength and flexibility.

Bassicly I know i did my roll wrong, (before i learned shoulder roll) but any advice would help.

Also getting on that roof i needed assistance. i wasent tall enough to make my own trail and that ledge wasent flat.

anything at all even flaming id just like some advice.

No big deal, but just so you know it's "do parkour" not "parkour". Don't worry about flaming on these forums. We're all here to help and would never make fun of you. Anyways, first off I'm glad you fixed your roll, second I wouldnt go on rooftops too much. It attracts negative attention and you don't want that at all. Try looking for a nice set of handrails and ledges to work on vaults, precisions, catgrabs, and other techniques. Start with this video:

No no no, those guys sucks, specially that white trash kid, who thinks he can Pk, Adam I think.

I've been training for about 5 months and I wouldn't do that drop at the end by choice.

Start on the ground. Parkour has nothing to do with rooftops.

Yeah, and that kid.. what's his name.. "Aussie?" I think. f#ckin' MexicAustralians.

Why were you filming your first day of "parkour training"?
Why were you getting on roofs your first day of "parkour training"?

Seriously, I've been training for months and I've never left ground level, or done any filming for that matter.

Train for a couple of months so we can have some technique we can give constructive criticism on. Then we'll be able to say "you need to tuck more on this", or "you need to work on your rolls". Right now all we're going to do is tell you what you shouldn't be doing.

Other than keep off roofs, train the basics, and welcom to Parkour and the APK community!
