Nothing Ought To Be Exaggerated

"I was originally going to make a sample to document my progression. I decided however that from what I've seen from samplers, there an unrealistic way to document your practice.
åŽŸå¸–åœ°å€: Aberdeen Parkour [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]

I made an effort not to exhaggerate any of the movements through filming or editing.

I adopted the mindset of if I can't do it today and if I can't do it multiple times, I can't do it.

The rain that came halfway through the day was really lucky, I was able to document my current ability to adapt to the rain. Unfortunately I got less filmed at this time because it was'nt my camera to risk getting overly wet.

Thanks to Maaz and ground to balance on for filming.

Enjoy!"

Great vid David, I loved how you shown you trying at stuff over and over again to get it right, instead of just showing the one shot. You're the only guy I know who calls rain in parkour lucky

Look forward to seeing you in aberdeen soon.

That's a great video

I've only been training for less than a couple of months so hopefully it won't be weird me giving advice, but one thing I noticed is that when you drop and roll on the vid, you should be going into the roll quicker otherwise you've already absorbed the whole impact of the drop through your legs. Use your legs to kinda deflect yourself forward into the roll.

I haven't even got my roll sorted out yet - currently keep going over the back of my hip when I try it with my right shoulder, ouchhh >.<

I like it.

You've improved heaps David.

Everything 'flows' way better now.

In regards to the roll, I could have done it faster and should of your right.

It was just so little impact to absorb I got lazy about it.

Thanks for the feedback!
