Great video! I've always loved parkour/freerunning and was actually more interested in doing that than tricking when I first started doing flips. But I lived in the countryside at the time and didn't have access to many things outside of the forest haha. Then I made some friends that were trickers so that's kind of what took my attention for the next 13 years haha.

i think the reason parkour is so much bigger than tricking is because to the everyday person parkour is it's own distinct thing. tricking is often mistaken for martial arts, gymnastics, breakdancing, and of course parkour. u mentioned parkour being featured in james bond. you could also integrate tricking into movies like in fight scenes but it'll just be seen as martial arts

Nice video, cant give enough props to Kojo’s Trick Lab either, Kojo literally made the ideal platform to make it as easy as possible to learn tricking. The two disciplines blend together pretty well, despite being separate. I don’t think BMX’ers are worried about race cyclists taking over their sport, same with vert and street skaters. 2 sides of the same coin, I’m a tricker but most of the people I train with are freerunners, it’s fun to switch it up every now and then.

Usually I just out of the blue I need to get some energy out so I jump out of my desk and pop out 2-3 sets of gymnastics ring routines with maybe a little straight arm weight lifting or handstand hold/press/pushup work. Oh yeah and my general approach to training, is best said by Shia LaBeouf with a "JUST DO IT" whenever I find myself pondering the quantity of reps of "the basics" the pros have gone through. Like idk about other people but I have managed to progress quite a lot by simply getting in repetitions and proper practice, since I really don't think my diet at least has been helping me in my training process.

Great video, really enjoyed this one. Both tricking and freerunning are incredible sports, and like you said although they are very different, they do overlap and can compliment each other. In my earlier years of tricking it was almost trendy for us to take the mick out of freerunners and for them to joke about us too (even though we were all mates) where as now when I look at it, I have mad respect for freerunners, they do some mental stuff that I wouldn't even dream of doing, nerves of steel. I think its funny when you speak tricker to freerunner and you realise the stark difference in comfort zones despite the athletic capabilities being very similar. Personally I wish I had gotten into freerunning a bit more alongside my tricking.

[@scottjarvis4034]

I trained freerunning pretty exclusively for about 5 years, but have been focusing on tricking more heavily the past 2 years. I still go out freerunning occasionally and I have really seen how tricking has helped me improve in that regard. I feel more confident, my transitions are better, i’m more creative, and I generally have more fun freerunning than I did before. They definitely go hand in hand. A good trucker will probably be a good free runner and vice versa.

In general I don't like flips or tricks at all, but seeing people use rotation and flipping to produce more efficient ways of moving through terrain....that is great. 👍

[@MrScottyTay]

I've always preferred the more smooth A to B lines in runs, over ones with loads of flips that slow down the run, a little flair is nice, but lots of flips going over and over the same wall or pole always looked a bit superfluous to me, but that's just me

[@connors84]

I started tricking in 1999 and back then it was 100% martial arts based. Now it's more of an extreme sport. I got into parkour ten years later partially due to my background in martial arts/tricking. What attached me to both was the social/community aspect of the activities but in the end parkour seemed more 3 dimensional. I really like how you interact with the environment. Not taking anything from tricking though it'll have my respect and love for the rest of my life and I still practice on a lower level than I used to.

I absolutely LOVE the freedom of movement and creativity brought by tricking, and I likewise LOVE the simplicity and flow of pure parkour. Work smarter not harder combined with working harder to be creative and stylish while continuing the flow of a line is in my opinion why the world of parkour/freerunning/tricking is almost all as one. Everyone can share their knowledge and everyone can learn something new and fresh and exciting, and as these athletes from different "denominations" of expressive movement continue to innovate, it will keep the "religion" of parkour/freerunning/tricking alive and evolving forever.

[@coreykrochmal3465]

As someone who grew up in a gym, and teaches parkour in a gymnastics gym, I love this video. The spirit of Parkour (as I see it) is that it can be done anywhere anyhow. Sure, training only in a gym all the time is not how it all started, and some may look down on that, but the point of Parkour isn't to be some hard ass who only counts certain things as "true parkour". Archie's name is all over this video and over the past few months he has been progressing a lot with the help of training indoors with crash mats and bouncy surfaces. The movement at the core of parkour is what matters, the progression and the journey of learning these new skills and being creative is with them is what we do, not try to define what should and shouldn't be allowed in the sport.

Thank you so much for making this!! People need to realize that evolution is what keeps an art form like parkour going! I mean the whole basis of parkour/freerunning is to progress your own abilities, so why are we so afraid of people who progress in their style? In my eyes, the more niche types of movement that are introduced into parkour only allow for more people to come into the sport like you said, and will also provide the people who prefer more traditional types of parkour a growing audience who discover them and appreciate what they can do.

[@metemercan1147]

Nobody needs to worry about tricking taking over parkour. Tricking is not sustainable the way that parkour is. Flips/tricks put so much stress on the body that taking them out onto concrete and throwing them everywhere will wear an athlete's body out completely. These are high-impact movements that drive so much energy into the ground. Do I think it's worth it? Well yeah, look at the insane level of creativity that's on show nowadays. But also no, because if you're someone who never wants to stop doing parkour then you gotta be thinking long term. I'm glad Danny gets mentioned here because he's a prime example of someone who wore their body out barely into their prime. If you ever saw him sitting down then he'd be forever rubbing his knees because he said his knees were always sore. That level of talent burns itself to the ground when there isn't a foundation strong enough underneath it all. Concrete is solid af. Your joints are only temporary, they can only take so much. So yeah it's up to you if you wanna go full send all the time but if parkour is the kind of passion you want to carry long past your 20s then you need to think ahead and treat your body like you actually need it for that long. Remember that we're not like climbers or skaters who replace their gear once it wears out. Our body is the only piece of equipment we use in this discipline so spamming flips outside 24/7 might not be the best. Granted, there are athletes out there with so much residual strength and tolerance from years of conditioning but I don't see any longevity for trickers who take their sport out onto concrete to make all these awesome lines

Yeah I actually really got into free-running but the problem was I live in Arizona where there isn’t much buildings where I live so it is much easier to go out to a patch of grass with the boys to train different flips and tricks so I’m now much more of a tricker, because of my terrain

[@llawlied6902]

It kinda did already in some places In my last parkour gym ( school building with a lot of wooden obstacles ) like 95% of the hall was blocked with mats and ppl were flipping, they would sometimes do 1-2 vaults and end every run with a side flip When I went out for training with another group they pretty much ignored all spots, went for a playground and did flips into the sand all the time It kinda sucks for someone like me that loves parkour but sees no reason to ever do flips, I like finding a way, overcoming obstacles and seeing my environment with different eyes and kinda adapt to it Flipping down from stuff to look as cool as possible just isn't what I find interesting but I'm becoming one out of very few that still actually do parkour rather then tricking in my area which sadly means I have to train alone mostly

[@lennartjakob]

ye, i like your conclusion. as we talked about in the philosophy discussion, it's important to teach everyone starting out the importance of caring for their body and being mindful with their training, but what they do after the basics is their own decision to make. I'm a PK coach at heart, but if my kids wanna learn crazy flips, i make sure i can support them and teach them, because what's most important, is to keep people moving. Nowadays, i support training just for fun a lot more. Even though disciplined training can be fun too, it's just not for everyone. My own two cents: I draw the line (a blurry one at best) between tricking and PKFR, by how much use is made of obstacles. Honestly, most of what nico does (at least in the clips in this video, fits more into tricking i think, even though it's not on sprung floor. Mikesh, KIPA, Gefam and other PKFR youngsters use their environment much more (and more diverse environment at that, not just flat ground and flat walls). E: forgot to mention. i don't draw any line on a per athlete, but on a per run basis.(drawing a line sounds a bit harsher than i mean, but it's midnight and i don't know a better word for it) and honestly anyone who can't appreciate a highly skilled athlete between any of these forms of movement can suck a smelly one.

[@shayturkia]

I think something you missed to mention in this video is the affect of parkour style competitions on how athletes move, by the nature of it, style favors flips over parkour, and that i think is the biggest reason why most athletes started doing flips in lines and developed the parkour dance style of movement

[@teatowel11]

I apreciate the flips but i prefer it when th movement from a to b and the changing of levels is the focus. Like a flip can add a bit of flare but i like it when the tricking actually promotes the line. I am in general someone who prefers simplicity and minimalism. A perfect line for me makes a difficult peice of terrain to traverse, does it fast and makes it look smooth, effortless, it all flows together and there is a bit of flair and style. I think the tricking style makes good use of less inspiring spaces and is more friendly in public spaces. People are a lot less likely to get kicked off doing tricks around a park bench than they are jumping from a window sill onto the roof of a bus stop.

[@jared4575]

We need to give this style a name. I’m not so familiar with tricking, but I’m very familiar with parkour.

Also, I take nothing away from Danny, he was and still is one of the best athletes in the game; but I feel like Pip Andersen was also a major influence in the tricking / flips origins too.
