Nothing makes my day more than seeing a kid smile while i do parkour :)

[@DKopa979]

Daniel Ilabaca you are now my inspiration in life.

[@attallahsoheyb6543]

Daniel Ilabaca you are my inspiration in life.

[@sharpshooterjd]

One of the best videos explaining parkour that I have ever seen. It's brilliant that you hit over a 1,000,000 views! And I want to personally thank you for your christian message not many people are brave enough to do that on KZbin. You have inspired me so much. Thank you for your message

[@Malabarismo]

thank you.

[@streetworkout9076]

If u are afraid to fall,you fall cause u are afraid. dat words!

[@sladewoodward273]

Inspirational. Truly a respectable human being. He could become a philosopher.

[@krasinski80]

Still in 2022 this hits home

[@pdfp3805]

If you are afraid to fall, you fall because you are afraid.

[@KK-fw4zq]

You are so right. Kids play to much games because they can't achieve anything in the world. Now I have something to get my brother off the computer.

[@KK-fw4zq]

***** huh? the video never said "to do parkour" it said go follow your dreams because people are too afraid to do things... ~~where did you found this 90% stats idea from? dafaq ~~I had a dream to be in the Junior Olympics and Olympic team, and I did. ~~ Had another dream, to get into University and im working on it. ~~ Had a dream, to get a nice body...worked out for 2 years and I have a very nice body to show. I rather get: "Nice healthy Bodies" "Become Rich" "a Achieve into Junior Olympics" than play games is a waste of time, because you achieve something that takes no effort and will only last 1 day of happiness. and get nothing OUT of playing games. Video games are stupid, and a waste of time. we live for 25,000 days and I rather not waste time sitting and stare at a monitor and do something for that will make me happy "instead" of achieving things in GAMEs.

[@sineadcullen1561]

kenny kim he's jealous that's all. It's an awesome sport and can get u to great places in life. But wat u said is true too.

[@CriticalFX1]

It's 2023 and I remember this video is what inspired me to continue doing parkour, when I was going to give up. I took these words with me throughout my life and put them towards everything. Thank you Daniel

[@MrKillerdie]

I keep losing my confidence in parkour and myself, but this gave it back to me... Tomorrow is a new day and all i need is myself... I spent to much time looking for friends to join me, time that has been wasted.

[@attallahsoheyb6543]

2016 !

[@Bizasbusiness]

indeed

[@RedRiverChannel]

LOL, ''my own safe ways of life''? Whats what? Sitting down watching TV eating junkfood? There are no ''safe'' ways off life. Just ask those who never have smoked but still get lungcancer or all the thousands who die in car accidents, or those who are so inactive that they get heart diseas. You can't protect yourself from risks. Risk is a permanent state, and the only thing you can do is to learn to manage it and therefore minimize it. A jump which is is calculated and thought of, and a jump where the practitioner do it on INSTINCT, an automatic action that persist because of lots of PRACTISE, is far less dangerous than most people think. Check out statistics if you want to see whats really dangerous. Its not parkour I can tell you.

[@theori93]

I have watched this video about 20 time in the last month and every time I see it I gain something new from it. Daniel Ilabaca you are ONE OF A KIND

[@TeamStellarParkour]

It is the most satisfying feeling in the world when you here a practitioner of Parkour who really "gets it" share his idea of the discipline. Thank you so much for that!

[@KEIMPK]

i love coming back to this video everytime i need inspiration and start questioning myself of why i do parkour. This is one of the best inspirational videos i have seen, even after a year and a half of doing parkour :)

[@xStush]

Amazing. Daniel ilabaca is inspiration, wish I can see more of him

[@MrDoubleFaced]

this is the first video that i listen to over and over again not because of the music,not because of the moves,but because of this man's words...they are just so spot on..RESPECT to this man for how simply he describes parkour,yet so deep and powerful

[@ifyoudontbelieveme]

seriously, how can you dislike this? He breaths truth and honesty, Danny you've inspired me more than you will ever know, my entire outlook on parkour has changed. Just thank you man, you're my inspiration

[@AnonymousNameGuy]

I've been interested in parkour for a while now, and since I looked at videos like this I began to realize parkour isn't just parkour, it's a way of life and a philosophy. Greatly open and accepting, with personal challenges to overcome and you can do whatever you want. Loved it.

[@djdog76]

I put this on my ipod and everytime I find myself in fear.....doubt......confusion. I listen to this and it opens my eyes. You changed my life Dan........

[@SoberViking]

I trained parkour from 2008 to 2013 or something and I found this video somewhere about 2011 and since then.. illabaca has been my idol, this video has impacted me a lot! more then I often think. This took parkour to a whole other level for me, it went from just a "sport" to train once a week, to a lifestyle where I'd train about 5-6 times a week all the time. only because I could blend it into everything. I used to watch this video once in a while like once a year since I found it, and because of this I want to start training again but i cant find the energy to drag people into it. (I have always been a person who needs to make a group out of everything mostly because I find it boring to do something alone).

[@TriqehEXE]

when this video was made i used to do freerunning and parkour but then all my mates stopped and i got into football and computer games and now looking back at this video it just makes me wish how much i carried on and never stopped, daniel ilabaca is my biggest inspiration ever.

[@parkourman0114]

no matter how many years past, this video will be first on my list to watch when im feeling down, thank you danny and mattproductions

[@jcassler1969]

So awesome, this must be the 10th time I've seen this video. Daniel Ilabaca is one of my favorite traceurs, and this concept he gives in this video, choosing not to fall, is vital to excelling in parkour.

[@PrintBean]

Video's like this, it just shows so much passion, and such pure reason behind why traceurs do what they do. You get out there, and it's the one thing in your life you can control. You set your goals, and you push yourself, you get there, you have fun, and you move the way you want, not how anyone else wants you to. Daniel Ilabaca is my idol when it comes to parkour because you can see him having fun, and you see his passion in it.

[@hecklerlauren]

To know how you have inspired and to know a life journey that this inspiration has allowed to blossom is a blessing. I am proud to be a part of that and hope that one day I can meet you. Thank you.

[@MrJkWst]

listening to this i cant help but be inspired by daniels passion for parkour/freerunning and it just makes me want to improve every day

[@prange777]

freerunning is truly a way to express your feelings in movements. I know from experience, I just started, yet it's helping alot. And I definetely have to agree with you Ilabaca, choosing not to fall, and living in the moment is all you can do. This video is extremely inspiring!

[@lostinveda]

Love this. Live the moment and express yourself truly. Will never be able to parkour, but admire those who can

[@Veniessubdentem]

This is the most inspirational PK video I've seen in my life. I started being a traceur from the same reasons you did. ..respect m8. You're keeping it real. Congrats.

[@papillon465]

keeping it REAL! I cant believe I showed up late to the party though!

[@ryancasiday673]

my FAVORITE video!!!!!!! When I'm having a bad day i watch this and it makes me remember what life's all about! :)

[@ryuokami525]

This is one of the greatest videos I have ever watch, this has to be my tenth time watching it.

[@taylorsteele1078]

ive been doing parkour for three years and ever since i started everything that dany said in the video is how i feel, it really does set you free it can really put creativity back into your life, ive never felt alive as when im doing a jump, everything that your thinking about just disappers and you can just live in that moment. try it and choose not fall

[@SybrenOerlemans]

I've met Daniel Ilabaca in Amsterdam on his parkour tour and I had a talk with him for an hour and a lot of things he says in this video, he also said that in Amsterdam. He is THE inspiring man on the planet and he changed my life in a good way. Parkour is for me a way to express myself and to find myself

[@TwixSMDB]

it isn't the "live today, tomorow is unknown" stuff, nor the parkour that impresses me. but the sincerity and the passion of this guy is truly inspiring, and that makes this a great video.

[@theori93]

I never get tired of this video. every time i look at it i gain more that what iv gained from it before.

[@yeahmatt1998]

That's pretty inspiring stuff man, love your outlook on life! Respect :)

[@ChaseChrenkoShadowGaming]

this man and vidoe changed my life and made me think of life in a whole different way

[@richardferreday]

Such a spirtual message, this video has been on my mind for years and I'm still profiting from it in new ways all the time.

[@johnnybaylorn]

This speech....just tottaly changed not only the way i see parkour, but the way i see the world and why kids like me do the things we do. Thx Daniel IIabaca.

[@NecroN120]

2021 and still one of the most inspiring videos ever

[@ShadeLZST]

i never thought of it like tht... wow u really opened up my mind. Thanks!

[@willepille123]

You've just woke me up. Im trying to focus more on my training and my friends, my life and my career. Been drinking alot and finally decided to be sober. Im gonna watch this every day for the rest of December. Thank you Danny, you are amazing!

[@Assaassinn]

This remainds me so much stuff... Thanx... I'll try to not forget again.

[@ChooseCarefully]

You are so right. Instead of doing it, we sit and watch you do it. And envy you. Great message. Inspiring.

[@Theivv]

You really have to take a moment to appreciate people like Daniel Ilabaca are in this world.

[@UrbanParkour14]

I downloaded this to my iPod so I can listen to the words of a great man go through my head on repeat.

[@pikachupotter]

thank you so much i had started but gave up parkour at thoughts of getting hurt but now i know not to give up i will. im glad i have friends who already do it and are willing to teach me how to do such a thing. i believe this is the best way to got the best out of life its is also a fun thing to do and it gives you an imagination of the world is your playground. and i like the message you put through you can do it if you put you mind to and this i will do. thanks for inspiring me even more

[@amsaric]

Beautifully done. So inspiring. Whether you are trying to practise parkour or simply trying to find balance in your life.

[@MrStreetRevolution]

Daniel honored in this world there are people like you, with your great thoughts pisitivos and your generosity with parkour community from all over the world. It was so incredible when you said you were using drugs and all kinds of things, but since you've seen that person doing what he did combio you instantly, as you already done with thousands of people. Thanks for everything. :D

[@delaghettoballz]

I use to be afraid of some jumps but videos like these has changed my life. Live long Parkour and forever. If you are afraid to fall You will fall because you are afraid

[@PKmaniac100]

i'll always love this video,this guy really knows what he's talking about for once unlike others who just wanna be the best

[@airkatmama4]

this video u made is amayzing, i watched because my son is interested in parkour and since i had no idea wat it was i youtubed it and wow i just am so amaised at how fluid all your movements are ,i wish my son cud find something like this and stick with it i will incouragee him to go for it ty

[@rayonjames7875]

This will to help me in the future as well chris this video is so inspiring and a great motivator as long as we live we gotta remember this

[@pman9898]

most inspiring video i have ever watched. This is probaly should be in those videos that inspire kids to do what they like and to never give up. I know it inspired me and even though i still do parkour this makes me want to stride to push forward and do just as Daniel does. I hope you all take something from this parkour

[@MilitantBlackGuy1]

Ilabaca is truely a role model, I can watch this many times in a row, many days in a row, everything he says is thought provoking and insightful. You hear a lot of people saying things or doing things in the parkour/freerunning community that make you think they don't have the mindset or philosophy that was intended for the practitioners to have. Daniel really gets it, you can tell that he's mentally happy and free because of Parkour, this is what it's all about IMO :)

[@jeanlamourUK]

Your advice is awesome. Applies to everything.

[@rlandlb]

Thank you. Really helped me understand how to be stronger with what I'm dealing with. Been doing parkour for 8 years.

[@kan12345100]

is the best view I've seen .. really made me understand that it is repeated many times to achieve. and this you can use in your life as in parkour. DANIEL well you inspire me

[@dukedudez]

Beautiful man. Very inspirational. Keep it up.

[@freetobeme03]

Love the message.

[@mastergmoore]

I truly understand all of what he is saying...To be "with yourself"as you train or freerun, it feels great, and nothing I've experienced in life can match up to that feeling. And the power of that feeling that freerunning or parkour can bring a person is incredible.

[@KKSatros]

It feels really incredible to know that you are chasing your dreams, and to trust that sooner or later you will achieve it.

[@zyxinom8316]

bin von der ersten sekunde bis zur letzten voll dabei gewesen... beeindruckend-, sehr sehr grandios

[@ZahiliZamora]

Amazing!!!! Love this....

[@jungleprimitive]

cant stop watching it over and over again

[@grazida0276]

i remember when this video came out...so inspiring....I feel like the whole world should learn these lessons.

[@XxZenKamakazixX]

This is got to be the most inspirational and heartfelt speech ever.

[@landergrae]

81 people were not open to his message. this is truly motivational i wish i could meet this man!

[@cheez4me333]

i will download this video, put it on my ipod, and if someone tells me that i'm "showing off", i will just shove this in their face and not say anything more. this is so good, thank you parkour for changing my life. i couldn't have done it without you.

[@JuliusSpin]

I f******cking love this, this guy, his vision. So inspiring: try to watch it every day. Doesnt even matter what you do. Truth doesnt discriminate.

[@SplodgeCDR]

I'm a teenager rotting away in an office , and your words just hit me. Thank you.

[@TheAzvard]

Powerful words man. I will try to remember these words the next time I go to run parkour or do anything in life.

[@TheDickinson1982]

Some sit on pillows, some run and jump. They're all aware of the same happiness that exists in this world and they see it and live it. This man is inspiring!

[@stranger2two]

I pray the most sincerely for that you do and that you get the best of what lies ahead, just be patient and strong bro.

[@bakuganmasterdude]

same here i am 13 i LOVE parkour i try to do it every day.people call me stupid and say i am putting my life at risk..but i just have to keep going.and keeping doing what i love..daniel you keep me going thank you

[@mrrocketroll]

I watched this at the November 30th 2009 when i didn't even know what parkour was... After this I personally got a new look on the world. Then I started parkour. Now after 1 year or 2 I'm watching it again and think that this helped me the most from the time i was doing it!

[@TheSmoochme19]

This video will help me in the future not only with parkour but with life and rayon we got to remember this when we are practicing

[@jdown79]

I agree with this guy.. parkour really turned my life around.. the Brisbane team is such an excellent bunch of people, and they are always there for you as well.

[@MrNatedog15]

This video has inspired me greatly and I know changed the out look I had on life when I started parkour I had no idea how it was about to change me. My friends don't understand why I keep doing this even after I hurt my self. I think if more people knew what it is that I am really doing they would understand.

[@Mashka42]

Is there any possibility how could i like this even more? Thanks for making it and sharing it with the world.

[@AndrewBevilacqua]

so wise... his words are so inspiring i live by these lessons everyday i truly wish that i could meet him one day

[@AzafreakSM]

There's so much 'philosophy' in parkour. I've never seen that kind of video about hockey or soccer. Parkour is so different, inspiring and original.

[@gunlover94]

the confidence thing is definitely something i can relate to since ive been doing it. telling yourself you CAN do that flip, or that vault, and then actually doing it.. pure self discovery right there.

[@TheFXMen]

So awesome!

[@benmaxinm]

Wow, it is like he is talking about my life as a trader. Soo much wisdom in his words! Well done!

[@MTMiPower]

wow, i never realize this but until now... thank you, you've change my life and now i'm thinking about my life more then just playing video games or sitting down and do nothing :')

[@69HEMY]

im 13 i always loved running and climbing ive been learning about parkour and training the thing is im afraid of heights and i watch this and my fear is gone thank you Chris Marcus Ilabaca your my inspiration

[@SybrenOerlemans]

In Amsterdam, I talked with you. And it was the same kind of conversation like you're saying now. And it's still amazing... I'll never forget that day Danny. I had some problems and bad moments this year. I lost my girlfriend like 10 months ago. But she was just like you. Always happy, always friendly, always positive. You changed my life, just as she did. And i'm so thankfull for life and its opportunities. Thank you Danny, thank you...

[@TheZerosd]

Thanks Daniel you have open my eyes :)

[@cwgumby]

Thank you for this video.

[@rramrez32ja]

Helps alot to remember this thru out the day... This a very good reason to live life... even tho i dont do parkour i skate and this helps alot

[@Angelkiller1296]

he is so inspirational. he is so... awesome, just awesome

[@CrewJupiter]

Thanks man very inspiring

[@TokerSmurf]

41 dislikes? how can anyone dislike the message that is put forward in this video? [shakes head] In every path of life the moral of this video rings true! Choose not to fall - If you are afraid to fall (fail) then you fall (fail) *because* you are afraid.

[@Viriusverene]

So cool! Thanks

[@wavesnevercrash]

And bro, that's all you need. If you have that attitude and that heart, you can become great. I really hope people like you become famous, good luck to you and don't give up. :)

[@spiderthenics9462]

Wish i could speak to Daniel one day and just tell him about how much he has helped me from the moment i saw this video 10 or so years ago til today.
