MOTIVATION AFTER AN INJURY - Story of a professional Tricker / Vellu Saarela 2017

[@Moellerud]

Well said Vellu. As a physiotherapist i absolutely loved this!

[@Vellusta]

Thank you very much! So happy to hear that a physiotherapist approves :) This is an important message that I hope will be heard in the tricking community and any athletes around the world.

[@akashpathania4813]

I don't know how to thank you, I'm your biggest fan, I couldn't stop my tears when I saw this video, you are so wise and your motivation helped me in a deep emotional way, I've been doing freerunning and tricking since 4 years, I had 17 right shoulder dislocations, 4 left shoulder dislocation and 1 left knee dislocation, I had my knee ACL surgery 4 months ago and I will have my both shoulders surgeries soon, I know how hard it is to stop and do nothing, I'm off training since more than 1 year now, I don't know whether I can get back again or not, I feel like I don't need anything else in this world, I'm already a broken person physically and emotionally, freerunning and tricking was all that helped me to smile, now I feel lost but your video gave me emotional support, I truly appreciate your video, it means so much for me, I'll give my everything to get back again.

[@timkfarley]

Great video Vellu, this is only something I have learned within the last year and I've now been tricking for 10 yrs. Crazy to think I was so deluded for so long

[@Vellusta]

Thank you very much bro, means a lot to hear this from you ! I totally understand what you mean, and I´m happy that you´ve understood this but sorry you had to learn it through the hardest way. Hope we will get this message around at the community and get people to listen and act according to it

[@HadfordWRose1]

Vellu I relate to this story completely. Torn ACL at 15 from just being reckless. Over the last 5 years I've been learning to listen to my body, focus on everything I'm doing and mainly just avoiding injury. I've finally felt confident enough to start tricking again - this is perfect timing

[@Vellusta]

So happy to hear that Harrison! Keep using the small babysteps to learn new skills, enjoy the small details and nyances of our sport and you will notice that it is actually possible to progress really fast and really safe. I wish you all the best for the future, take care and keep yourself safe!

[@HadfordWRose1]

Hell yeah man, thanks a bunch. You're an inspiration!

[@PermacultureHomestead]

i knew i liked you for much deeper reasons way back when... been here for years, you know this. thanks for the motivation as always.

[@Vellusta]

Thank you man, really appreciate your comment! And you´re welcome :) Always really happy to motivate others

[@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction]

Super & wise video ! I got some heavy injuries in the last 20 years like 2x acl torn for example., respect the body & mind as he mentions also the help for each other !!!! Great video Vellu !

[@Vellusta]

Thanks a lot man, happy to hear your feedback. You have learned through the hard way, I wish you healthy trainings for the future!

[@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction]

Great I really wish you all the best, I always like your style and great combo's and also your vision !!! Cheers !!

[@amirologie]

Wise words from a wise man. Thanks for sharing the tricking wisdom with us

[@Vellusta]

Thanks a lot and you´re welcome :) Always happy to help

[@4SheR]

This is the best motivation ever. I keep watching it and it keeps motivating!)

[@ChrisViral]

Damn bro this video has it all, I hope this will go viral.

[@Vellusta]

Thank you bro, so nice from you :) Don´t know how to get it under the eyes of a bigger audience though. I wish more people would hear and act according to the message on this one though

[@oneguitarworship5821]

Thank you so much Vellu! Seriously, you reconfirmed and solidified some things I've been thinking. I started tricking at 23 and am 24 now. I want to continue for years to come and want a strong steady progression building everything off of fundamental blocks. Thank you very much for this video I believe it will keep me from chucking and continue to drill prerequisites so I can trick stronger and longer. I'd love to trick by you someday, Job

[@earphoria_]

It's 2021 and this video still motivating me after my injury

[@Huntdaninja47]

I'm on month 6 of a 10 month recovery right now and everything in this hits home. Thank you for creating this Vellu!

[@Vellusta]

You´re welcome and thank you for your motivating words for me. You are already over the half, just remember to get back very slowly to not get injured again. Last 4 months will go fast! Good luck for your future come back :)

[@DollarFirst10]

This video could not come out at a better timing. Good message

[@Vellusta]

Really happy to hear that!

Inspiration since 2010

[@rodrigopresottor7055]

I feel so inspired man... you are the best, I have cried and felt depressive in my last 2 years because my injuries in both knees, I heard about many people that I would have to stop training but I always believed in my rehabilitation and I am still trying to overcome the injury to be able to trick well and safely again, and avoid new injuries. Injuries are very serious people should always take much care to avoid that..ur advices are the best, u are our hero.

[@Vellusta]

Thank you so much for your message. The reason I made this video was to help others, and making you inspired is the best thing what can happen. I hope you will find the right rehabilitation and can come back stronger than ever. I´ve seen lot of trickers come back from serious ACL and MCL injuries, surpass their level and keep training healthy into crazy next levels. Everything is possible, but you always gotta keep safety first. Wish you all the best for the future, hopefully it will be brighter!

[@CyanStudios24]

This completely changed my viewpoint on tricking and my body. I need to take care of my body more. (typing this while laying in bed with a sprained ankle)

[@BryanGreig]

Well said Vellu! I have been following you for years and it is great to hear your story. I am watching this while doing my daily conditioning! Slow, but steady learning for me. In 20 years, I would love to meet up and train with you - when we are both in our 40s and moving strong!

[@MRKilo-41]

Won't lie I used to do this, I went for a cartdub when i wasn't ready. I didn't learn the prerequisites needed and thought with just one landing of a hyper cartfull I thought I can do it. After i went for it 6 times i got injured for a week and learnt my lesson. It took a year to learn this and thanks to pro trickers I learnt to take it slow and rather take months to land prerequisites for a trick then to do a prerequisite once and think you have it. Be safe trickers and sportsmen/women, love you body before you cant use it

[@Filaxsan]

Wise words brother, well said! Condition and... never stop training! Respect, bro

[@mipoika8493]

Have to say, very inspiring video, kinda motivates me to keep tricking

[@Vellusta]

That´s so awesome to hear! You definitely should continue, hard times always come but you gotta keep pushing through them! I hope you will keep on training. Kiitos Lenni :)

[@bobdavids3192]

Thank you for this. You don't know how much this message means to me ❤️

[@sebastianxeniu8614]

[@Freddie_styles1]

Three months now I can't trick due to dizziness.when ever I do any move I become too dizzy and the doctor told me to leave tricking for 4months but tricking is so fun.thanks for the video

[@eggnog1899]

[@AhmadFrenzel]

[@officialwarren825]

Thanks vellu crying,it's motivating bro I get maybe one of the most serious injury from bboying affect even my smile am still bboying thanks for the courage

[@Vellusta]

It makes me so glad to hear I´ve been able to motivate you. I know the feeling of being injured, it is the worst. Hopefully you are smiling again and pushing your limits to the next level! You´re welcome :)

[@PalataOPG]

отлично получилось !!!! Спасибо за такие видео )))

[@TrickStrong]

Truly amazing video Vellu. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the community! This is a message that should be heard by everyone in the game. An important one that I hope people will keep in mind!

[@Vellusta]

Thank you so much TrickStrong! You´re very welcome and I hope the community will listen and act. Hopefully the scene will grow towards the direction that clean landings, proper conditioning and warm up etc. will be respected collectively. Feel free to share this for your community and those who you think might need to hear this! And hope to see you soon

[@TrickStrong]

Yes, I think that the tricking community will need to move towards this direction as a whole in order for us to continue to see widespread progression of the sport. This message is vital to the mental and physical well-being of trickers. They will catch on! We just need more videos and talks like this one. Hope to see you soon as well! Come to New York!

[@Pascaltricker]

Beautiful message Vellu. Keep up the great work.

[@Vellusta]

Thanks a lot and I will!

[@jonasbruske3562]

[@Vellusta]

You´re welcome, your comments make my day :) Thank you

[@VamphyrMk]

Great video Vellu

[@Vellusta]

Thank you

[@officialwarren825]

This video was needed

[@lucsimonk8859]

well, that was motivating indeed! thank you! :)

[@makevlog4623]

[@Ahmadavocado]

Thank you so much Vellu Saarela. I really needed this reminder, this beautiful video really made me think about tricking in the long run. This masterpiece of a video was released exactly when I needed it. Since the beginning of this year ignorantly tricking with minor injuries and now still struggling to get back at 100%, this video will certainly be a big motivation for me to start listening to my body and tricking safely. I really appreciate this video, thanks Veli-Matti Saarela. I will watch this video everyday as an inspiration :)

[@Vellusta]

Thank you very much for your comment Ahmad. I´m so glad to hear that this inspired you to change your ways and motivated you for listening your body and safer tricking. Tricking with 100% without any pain feels so good, I know you can get there with right conditoning, stretching and proper warm ups always before you start training! So happy you liked this video and I wish you all the best for the future!

[@Ahmadavocado]

Vellusta your welcome Vellu! you really opened my eyes on this one :) if you dont mind, can you please make a video on conditioning and stretching for tricking? that would be awesome!

[@ERSOGYM]

Love you reis

[@Vellusta]

Reis is raiz ?

[@johzuke1]

Wise words!

[@Vellusta]

Thank you Johannes! I know you have a lot wise words to say about this topic as well :)

[@WippeV]

Great video and very important message! Awesome job Vellu!

[@Vellusta]

Thank you my vegan hero!

[@christophisser2546]

This video was made where I live 😍

[@ChrisViral]

I messed up my back a few weeks ago... Couldn't do anything for 3.5 weeks.. IT SUCKED but now I'm fired up even more :D Train safe, focus, concentrate, listen to your body, dream big

[@Vellusta]

Wise words indeed! I hope your back is already healed and you are ready to go 100%. During the time you are injured you can always for example work on your upper body or flexibility and keep motivating yourself to train harder than ever when you come back, just like you did :)

[@ChrisViral]

Sadly I wasn't able to do anything... Pretty much everything caused a stupid amount of pain but yeah, I used the time to contemplate and it's just a necessary reminder that you're human :p hehe

[@henrikpenttila5342]

ihan mahtava video!

[@Vellusta]

Kiitos paljon, hyvä jos tykkäsit! Pidä nuo asiat ja tämä tarina mielessä treenatessasi :)

[@DanubeCalisthenics]

Just an awesome vidoe and great words 😄

[@Vellusta]

Thank you! Written, directed and filmed on the day same day when we met :D

[@RaymondMao]

i have so much respect for him. he's not like other trickers who are so cocky in their tricks.

[@Vellusta]

Thank you man, really humbled you think like that, happy to hear it. But just to let you know, there is a loooot of trickers who are not cocky as well :)

[@RaymondMao]

Vellusta yes i know. it's just trickers like you and guthrie which motivate me to improve my tricks, even if it's just by a little.

[@Vellusta]

Glad to hear that :) Hope you will stay motivated and train hard & safe for a long time!

[@hamzaslife1234]

Really helpful 💥💥😍😍😍😍

[@Vellusta]

Super happy to hear!

[@TOP5GLOBE]

Vellu is the father of this game

[@krezspirit3458]

damn. I almost cried.

[@Veikka]

en edes trikkaa mutta tiedän susta parkour/freerun skenen takia paljon. Todella inspiroiva ja hieno video, joka puhuu täyttä asiaa liittyen jokaiseen tämän luonteiseen lajiin. hyvä vellu!

[@aleksikarkkainen1372]

Ihan hiton hyvä video! Tuli motivaatiota❤❤💪

[@juhoalasaari939]

oli kyllä hyvä ja inspiroiva video itekki olin yhes vaihees 9 kuukautta urheilukiellossa rasitus polvimurtuman takia ja parantumis aika vaan piteni kun ei antanu polven rauhoittua vaan piti tehdä kaikkea vaikka polveen sattuikin. loistava video hyviä vinkkejä tulevaisuuteen.

[@Vellusta]

Kiitos paljon, mahtavaa kuulla että tykkäsit ja inspiroiduit :) Tuo on kyllä tyypillinen tarina, että palaa liian aikaisin treenaamaan vaikka loukkaantuminen ei ole vielä parantunut kokonaan. Toivottavasti polvi on nyt parantunut ja pystyt taas treenaamaan. Kaikkea hyvää ja turvallisia treenejä tulevaisuuteen!

[@DaniKai]

Thanks.

[@Vellusta]

You´re very welcome

[@suddentricks3080]

[@michaldeeboss]

[@UrbanLicht]

Absolutely motivation in that words. I hope all my students could see this. of course that i will share it. Keep training in that way and spreading this kind of toughts that can save peoples life.

[@Vellusta]

Thank you man, really appreciate your feedback and the fact you wanna show this to your students. Hope all of them will see this and put this message close to their heart. Each injury we can avoid is such a big win for the community and especially for the individual him-/herself. Happy you liked the video and thank you for sharing it further :)
