Parkour Documentary

Forrest and Dan in a new short film by Julie Angel. www.parkourgenerations.com For more info email Dan and Forrest at [e-mail] This film is a study of architectural potential and the body within a limited space. Parkour, conditioning, combinations, foot and hand placement, they've got flow. I've been shooting parkour action for nearly 2 years and this is the piece of work I am the most proud of. Enjoy!

parkour is one of the coolest things in urban culture. this vid is just a training doc. you should check out the other parkour vids, parkour and free running people are crazy jumping off tall buildings and stuff, totally extreme

[@AlexParkourLinz]

I was training there a while back with Dan. It´s exactly as he says: A space hard to move through if you encounter it for the first time. I have never shinned as much as I did in that 1 session compared to all of my Parkour life. Technical difficulty is huge. The flow you see in the video is unreal :)

[@OwenStaton1]

Haha its crazy when i look back at this and remember wanting to learn turning lazy vaults, 360 underbars and even kong vaults and now they have become second nature. I will always love this documentary it reminds me of when I started Parkour.

[@gloriathecamel]

Parkour is not pointless, it improves mental awareness, physical shape, spacial awareness, also the discipline side of it teaches you how to overcome other obstacles in life that are not necessarily physical, it improves so, so much more than what can possibly be shown in this video.

[@LovePotion_]

This, this here is the heart of Parkour. Not the big jumps, the overrated flips, the horrible foot work... This here, concentration, acuracy, training, heart. Sometimes, i wish i was back in 2004 - 2008. Parkour, back then, was like this, it was pure, it was an awesome Phylosophy. Nowadays? We are full of dilluted Traceurs who don't know about the basics, the story, the real meaning of "Killing an Obstacle". Makes me sad. Like Bruce Lee Said. "Be water, my friend". Feel the flow. Be the flow.

[@fuckwackemcees]

you would NEVER get bored of this spot

[@Aleckai]

This is still one of my favorite shorts on parkour. Your cinematography is beautiful, Miss Angel

[@cosentinospk]

I remebember watching this when it came out, ive stopped practising now but this is still incredible.

[@thinkofsomething]

Best passtime ever, I can't imagine living without parkour.

[@movementsnacks]

The music is from Mr Bird on the Frequent Soundz label. The track is called Bossacroc. he has a new album 'Know Your Rodents' coming out soon.

[@obscurelines]

One of my favourite clips. Just simple, full of little gems to try out. And a lovely sense of flow which most vids miss.

[@hayxia]

that roll in the end was perfect

[@CharlieRomero]

I love this stuff, if I could do this my walk to work would be freakin amazing.

[@amarmirza08]

The supreme irony of this video is that they are moving in ways that few people can on something which is suppose to help people who can barely move (handicap ramp). I love generations.

[@famgaztam]

What a great video! I find myself watching it over and over again. Beautifully done.

[@brussdog23]

they make it look so easy

[@evilvespa]

Great documentary. Good work. Would love to see more.

[@Mansoor01]

Dan and Forrest are the best teachers i ever had!!

[@Aleckai]

Sooo good. The parkour and the film

[@Digitrex666]

though you can train by yourself or with friends, having someone WAY better than you to train and teach you is incredibly helpful. how i first started was by watching UF tutorials and trying stuff in the school gym so you totally can get started without a teacher. BUT you would be amazed at how many clubs there are to train with. even in smaller cities theyre pretty common.

[@FenderJunkie]

Thanks for uploading! This is a great parkour video!

[@UnEmploymentDude]

Damn, those Guys' vaults are SMOOTH!

[@deex22]

i think that was the smoothest roll i've ever seen lol

[@skylain5398]

Parkour is awesome.. and so is the movie District B13 which has alot of parkour action crazy fight scenes.

[@KrsJin]

Parkour is beyond awesome, thanks for sharing this.

[@retardno002]

Really nice flow... and really nice grippy shoes too!

[@RickardoMute]

Wow... that was Awesome

[@kostadisg]

Forest and Dan rocks :-) Keep up the good work guys!

[@aniflannagan]

Beautiful.

[@maplestory70]

HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AMAZING! I mean, this is really cool! I know that feeling you get when you do something of cool agility and you have to be in great shape. I respect you two! and whoever assisted them in making this or does parkour!

[@restage]

ok i'm gonna start learning parkour^^ it's way to cool!

[@helllboyz]

Thats the best Spot I've ever seen

[@paindeer]

THis is a breath of fresh air for humanity. Amidst all the economical models we have to sort out representing true human power and effort, parkour reveals basic potential. Hats off.

[@maegha]

that was really awesome!! the video was great!!

[@Skankerkid]

it looks badass. thats why you do it.

[@TraceurZeno]

An absolute joy to watch Dan & Forrest's movement. Thank you Julie for this excellent production. Zeno

[@bodomdude]

The floating black box was AMAZING!!!! the parkour was ok too.

[@TraceurMaaz]

EXcellent vid, such cool places these guys have to train...

[@neongamer5375]

I love Parkour

[@BryantBlount]

This was a phenomenal production

[@DarSax]

That camera work is friggin' unbelievable.

[@Mikedenton541]

fencing helped me a lot with parkour

[@ragsdalejt]

Great underbars... probably the smoothest Ive seen since team 101's first video. great combos it was really intracate.

[@tremendoushater]

Great video. Very technical. Pretty awesome.

[@penguinmat]

Very well put together video and the great showmanship didnt hurt good job.

[@songdove.]

Wow, the second guy's body is like fluid. The precision of their movement is amazing. It's a little scary that children will try to imitate them though.

[@Digitrex666]

this is really an amazing video. Forrest and Dan are amazing traceurs and big idols of mine. Look at how pure their movement is. absolute efficiency. not the straightest line but moving in the simplest, most graceful way. i was really lucky. a few months ago i went to london for a week and i got to meet Forrest and Danand do some training.

[@KingJin726]

the point is to do it as stylish and graceful as possible!

[@MccRus]

really nice spot to move around... you could have such fun jamming a spot like that one. awesome video!

[@thath09]

the beginning was really well done

[@caelitusmihivires]

thank you, I am really learning lots form this video. these guys are not intrested in showing off. true masters.

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

Beautiful video! I love the interview with the children.

[@slsooo]

spectacular!

[@solangepaloma]

great video, beautiful to watch, well structured with talented subjects

[@markoudovc]

nice! I Wish I had the space like this in my area!

[@jlel]

At the moment I'm just doing drills and conditioning exercises. I've only done some small stair jumps. Nothing more than that. I hope to be able to learn the roll and vault soon.

[@betrezahn]

Realy great place, I'd like to have something like this one near my home.

[@BenWeintraub]

Free Running: Free running is a physical art, in which participants (free runners) attempt to pass all obstacles in their path in a smooth and fluid way. Free runners interact with their environment using movements such as vaulting, jumping, somersaults and other acrobatic movements, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving.

[@sellz22]

Parkour is when youre moving from one place to another. And/or when you are escaping somthing. Free running is just when you are having fun doing cool thing and training. And militaries from different countries began looking for ways to incorporate Parkour into training. The British Royal Marines hired Parkour athletes to train their members.Colorado Parkour began a project to introduce parkour into the U.S. military and parkour is slowly being introduced into the USMC.

[@zeddy2961]

wow, I love it

[@InfestedSin]

what a mad video, parkour kicks ass

[@ddcesar]

congratulations for the million

[@ikijah]

yeah im in a crew myself...and the spot is down right sick...great for beginners

[@lasairian]

yeah i completely agree to the whole fight or flight thing i take martial arts and just got interested in parkour and that was exactly what i thought the first time i saw it

[@TheTot]

I'm a traceur in training, and this video was a huge inspiration. Those combos were really great, and it's exactly these types of videos that just make you wanna' get out there and Parkour! I'll see ya' later! I'm heading outside!! ;) Fantastic vid, instant fave.

[@owskie1981]

So elegant, really is urban gymnastics

[@Nomadologist-0]

excellent little documentary

[@Germbot]

This was a great short doc. The camera work was on par with, say, Jump London or the likes. Very good, you should be very proud of this for sure.

[@Partof300]

Very cool. I'm going to have to find an area like that where I live.

[@BenMilner]

Great piece Julie! unique. Forest, Dan. You've achieved some beautiful paths there. Gotta love the fluid twist of those underbars..

[@LucasDove]

Great acrobatic skills boys!!!

[@jlel]

Me too! I know the feeling! Keep practising man! :D

[@dantehoward]

Wow, that is an amazing spot. I wish there were more places like that in America. But, sadly, there are very few where I am. Nice video, I enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@LukeWard1991]

That's an ace place! Wish there is a place round Mablethorpe like that :(

[@JdotHowden]

So Awesome Flow!

[@Osmostasis]

magnificent!!!

[@177cal]

pretty cool stuff here, well done!!!

[@nuttah3]

your editing and film-making skills are great :)

[@ruzkin]

Very nice piece, simple but great technical skills on show with effective directing.

[@Oystertech]

How I miss it...I broke my leg last week running the industrial park and I'm out for a while. good video

[@aktivistin]

Great editing!

[@skunkworks951]

I wish I could do that.I think I might start trying.

[@tharaml]

you should because dame du lac and lisses is too nice. and if you go there you will learn so much about parkour and yourself. and if you come back to your town you will see many new spots and jumps you never saw before. it's worth to go there.

[@AZ09Claudio]

very very nice...! ^^ great parkour

[@oneiblind30]

AWESOME!~

[@mikecupcake]

looks great, will listen with decent volume later!

[@jonnieboz]

their flow is impressive , watching traceurs do this is inspiring 2 younger generations hu want 2 take up parkour, but the hold back is trying something new which makes ppl scared.

[@ShadeNBG]

OMG how u have so good place to trainning and guys ure good!

[@producer55]

Well done, good camera shots, great audio and a good subject, bravo! Simple and to the point. something lacking on youtube at times. Great job.

[@fitojose123]

good combination!

[@Pawl2]

Open your eyes, that must be what you get from this video! its the main focus to me. there are spots all over the place, you just have to expand your mind look harder, let your mind flow as well as your body.

[@famgaztam]

Amazing movement, awesome documentary! You've taken an ordinary space and turned it into something quite extraordinary! I felt like I was watching a very cool dance.

[@movementsnacks]

hi, thanks for your comments, there are more films like this on parkour coming very soon :)

[@grah55]

Parkour is pretty amazing. First beginners explanation vid i've ever seen. Most of the pro vids are badly cut but this is amazing.

[@eldantepicante]

That's a very excellent spot

[@BenWeintraub]

Parkour: [1] is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. [2] It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment - from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls - so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses.

[@Klayre]

EXCELLENT WORK GUYS!! that's parkour! ;)

[@Cionn]

Dammed, so nice Watermoves, so fluid, i love it!!

[@XavierDC]

from what I heard about early parkour is actually that it's about overcoming any obsticles in your way, that's what I saw somewhere on another documentary about Parkour anyway. It said Parkour wasn't about being fancy.

[@earthboundstudiosVI]

Great edit job guys!!
