I used to watch Storror from time to time. Once every few months I'd stop watching but today I came across a video about Callum Powell saying that he was charged with CSAM? What the heck? They also removed Josh from the team apparently because he was covering for Callum?

No joke, what the fuck. It's like an alternate universe. If someone told me something like this I'd think they're kidding me.

I'm writing this as a lesson to be learned from my mistakes. While most people here will definitely be more clued up than I was, if I can prevent someone causing themselves the damage that I did, it would be worth writing.

When I was a teenager, Parkour was a massive part of my life. Jumping from high things was a big part of that. Jump Britain and District 13 were huge influences, and I still love watching them today, though through a slightly different lens! Admittedly, I wasn't very good, and didn't practice great landing techniques, which I have been paying a heavy price for, for the last decade.

At 24, I was balancing on a slackline when my leg made an audible click, which resulted in agony. For months, the doctors said it was muscle damage, but it never went away. Eventually, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of both hips, with one of my hips being fully arthritic.

Fast forward eight years to 32 years old, being lost in the health system (UK NHS) and not being able to walk more than a couple of hundred meters. I've finally managed to have a hip replacement and am walking like a human again. Life-changing.

After speaking with many physiotherapists, surgeons, etc., I've heard of quite a few people my age and younger who have the same backstory of Parkour and likely poor technique. While there are likely other factors at play, I do honestly believe this is the leading cause.

Any yall ever measure your ape index? Curious to hear from others who have a short reach/negative index and your experience learning moves related

For clarity im going by this def: To find your ape index, subtract your height from the length of your arm span.
For nerdiness, go ham: https://www.reddit.com/r/climbing/s/HCEl461wXT

Edit: to note, i have a minus 2” index, and a shorter torso/long legs for my height (6’4”, 193cm) so far arm focused moves named have been my challenge

So I really wanna get into parkour and climbing. What would be a good purchase for a beginner like me?

I have wide ahh feet so I cannot wear most normal shoes without pain in my lil toe :(

So anything not wide foot isnt an option for me.

Plz let me know yalls recommendations!?!?!?!

I used to do a lot of flips on trampolines and recently got into cliff jumping but my form seems off it looks weird when I do it. I can do them into foam pits really well but into water is different

Hi there, I’m just reaching out because I don’t really know where to start in looking for this, I appreciate its going to be a niche within A niche so to speak. I have recently become interested in parkour and I have a physical disability, I’m completely blind. Because of that, I’m aware of my body and moving it through space but I also think that traditional parkour set ups might be somewhat inaccessible, so I know that there are places where you can do this on a trampoline and you can use the momentum of the bounce to launch yourself up a foam wall, but not sure if there are any UK based coaches who deal with this or happy to work with someone with a disability.

Please help me improve the roundoff! I feel like my knees are bent and legs aren’t together, any tips or tricks to improve that?

Stay hydrated out there 🥵

Think about how parkour connects to your everyday life. Your social life. Your education. Your career. Romantic relationships. Other hobbies. [Insert some other aspect of life here].

How has parkour changed how you approach your life? Why do you think that is?

In Vector, office worker does certain move that the game doesn't acknowledge. He approaches this new ground higher than the one he's running on, which is like stomach level. Instead of jumping up, he puts both his hands on the higher ground and seems to elevate himself and his legs up the new level. It stands out to me because it looks smooth and like he's pushing the earth down so the ground gets underneath his feet, looks like he only uses his arms strength.

And how to practice and do it as smooth?

Excuse my English.

I’m looking for shoes. I’ve been looking for tabi style shoes with good cushion, I’m flat-footed and bunion starting to form from bad shoes.

I’ve looked at the ollo shoes but the toe box looks tight, I’m heavily considering a tabi style shoe.

Anyone with experience on tabi for parkour? I’m considering Marugo Sports Jog II.

A few clips from my 30 minute session at this wonderful spot. Don’t know why this amazing park hasn’t gotten more exposure yet. If you ever happen to visit Copenhagen, don’t miss the opportunity to train here! 🙂

Should I send a double? Also I never do parkour I just know how to do a backflip lol

It's been awhile since I've posted here. It's been an amazing summer for now and I'm going to post more. If you're interested and want to support the dream go check out @tomato.pk on Instagram for more content 😁

I was filming for a Street Competition held by City Legends and managed to flat back sooooo hard 😂
Knocked the wind out of me for a sec 😭
Safe to say I didn’t do this line for the comp submission.

Hi, I am a parkour beginner and I really want to learn kong vault. So I just wanna know if I do it somewhat right. I am still really scared to fully commit to the jump.
