Here is what we got so far. These vids were made as a demo-starter and LearnParkour.com is currently working on expanding this part. (Some of this stuff is Free Running, some is just basic acrobatics, yet we highly recommend to try easy things first and then move on to something you'd like.) We are excited to let you know that we're developing an Open Submition System which will allow users to submit and rate PK and Free Running videos. The best rated videos will form LearnParkour.com Tutorials.
Anyway, so far, we hope you enjoy and find the following useful.
You wanna do this on a line. As straight as u can. it helps lotz. The other thing people get wrong is the legs, da legs should not be bent (at all) at the knees. Keep your legs straight, it'll help make it easier to complete the rolling of the "wheel" (you). haha. The second hand does not come down at the same time as the first one. Wait for the right time to place the second hand. Gain momentum. Let it be a natural roll.
Easy as shit. Lots of people got fear issues with the edge and their toes. haha. They think they might clip their feet on the obstacle and go face down to the floor. This fear isn't that big on people who feel confident about being able to bring their knees up to their chest quick.
a Kong is like a monkey vault except with the only requirement that you must fly (be in the air) for an amount of time greater that zero from the point you take off.. until the time your hands make contact with the obstacle.
Uhh, don't hurt your ass. =) Aproach the obstacle with some momentum.. then kick up with your strongest leg and immidately follow with the other leg. U wanna create the effect that both legs are coming up together simultaneously. As you are right over the obstacle extend your legs all the way and propell yourself with both your hands. ( looking like a --- )
Jump to a distant object and land on it. hehe. There are a few variations to the way you can execute this type of jump. The one I like is when you jump turn 180 degrees in the air and land facing where you took off from.
A. Focus on a chest-high point on the wall�this is where you�ll place your feet. Remain focused on that spot as you begin running toward the wall at moderate speed. Plant your weaker foot about a meter away from the wall and start leaning back.
B. Push into the wall with your dominant foot. The longer you look at that spot, the higher you will go. Try to angle your body completely horizontal, without jerking your neck. Lean your head back, as your torso will follow your head.
C. Place your weaker foot against the wall and flick your ankle to drive the rotation. For a quick and controlled spin, tuck your knees close to your chest. Maintain eye contact with the ground to spot your landing, and force your legs around toward it.
D. Bend your knees as you hit the ground to absorb the landing and retain balance. A smooth landing takes practice to perfect, and it�s painful when botched, so have a friend spot you at first.
