SIDE FLIP TUTORIAL - HOW TO - Parkour Freerunning ( Jesse La Flair )

[@andrewstepanek2256]

made my side flip today. couldn't have done it without this video

[@LaFlairParkour]

Congrats Bro!

[@BatMan-jg4xu]

La Flair is a badass last name.

[@rudeflex2659]

This is actually really easy!! After watching this tutorial , i immediately did it successfully! I didn't even have to roll on the ground to make my self comfortable with the motion. Maybe my body is just used to the motion! We'll in my opinion this is the easiest flip of all. Unlike front and back flips, if anything does go wrong when your doing this flip you could immediately recover because u could easily spot the ground! Thx Jessi

[@Frankie_Freedom]

This is awesome, Love the detail. Way to go guys. What park was this at? Gosh...I really need to try and make it to the Academy, been saying that for like a year now. The side flip is something that I've been wanting to learn how to do since like forever. Keep them coming

[@manifestdestinytv]

awesome awesome tutorial. I loved how you two were able to explain the movement while we watched it happen. Brilliant.

[@dereklogsdon9459]

you try, you fail, you try, you fail. but the only true failure is giving up.

[@Steve-tl1tq]

True

[@dillonsmythe853]

So true

[@neilgrangermagic]

Fantastic editing guys. I wish I had had this video 5 years ago:)Great work

[@grex209minecraft]

I think it's great how Jesse takes the time to put the entire video into words in the description.

[@My3Sons007]

Amazing tutorial! Love the freeze frame and overlay video aspects of it, so helpful.

[@HowGamersPlay]

This video was so well made! The Overlapping of the shots is something Ive never seen in tutorial videos.

[@anurok]

Awesome tutorial guys. Thanks a ton! I will def be trying this next week.

[@CaramelFighter]

Thanks Jesse and Shane just landed a side flip 1st try! You guys are the best!

[@ryanjdigiorgio]

Thank you so much for the well voiced, well worked video. It helps a ton!

[@CARMENAMARA]

Great video

[@SpidermAntifa]

Like the video said, fear comes from lack of understanding. Either practice it more on the bed to get completely used to the movement or try watching more side flip tutorials. Seeing it from other angles and seeing other peoples' take on it can help a lot. I haven't even tried to do a side flip yet, so don't take me at my word on it if you don't want to, but the advice I gave you is generally what I do with everything I have difficulty with.

[@seanledden5014]

I was with my mate Carl today and we went Freerunning. He was trying to teach me the side flip, we had this video open while we did it haha He is amazing at flips so he's a good teacher. It was very hard learning it put at least I have another flip to add to my collection. Time to learn the 'Cork' next :D

[@barrykong6706]

i am 13 and i have been learning this trick for 2 months, but i jst can't over come the fear. i got all my vaults down but i can't seem to get used to the flip. Any tips on overcoming fear?

[@PunkRockSolo]

I think if you got a friend to help you flip while pushing you in the air would work. Also do it in a gym, the grass or a mat, or even a trampoline to practice your flips. Try doing it on those so you don't get hurt so much! I wouldn't reccomend the grass though because it could hurt. Just trying to think of suggestions!

[@HumanZer0]

Yay i'm one of those more than 1000 people who requested this shame i can already do it now, but this is one of the best tutorials for side flips on youtube.

[@FearghasG]

that doubling with shane pointing at his own body was so well done, as a video editor I can say.. nice job!

[@AAutist]

I just taught my friend this flip. It is so much fun. Its sort of a progression from front flip to backflip

[@saronahbrown1525]

Very good tutorial...keep doing all like that in slow motions

[@u_luana.j]

I'm really interested in parkour but I'm also interested in the video work. which program do you use to make that 'three same person in one'?

[@Stormnator]

I think Sony Vegas can do that or Adobe Premier

[@levihalperin7649]

Most programs can do that

[@nerdywayfinder1827]

THANK YOU GUYS. Great and helpful tutorial. By the you guys should really come visit the parkour horizons Gym in Columbus Ohio sometime. Its a small but functional gym and training with you guys would be a dream come true. Just something to consider next time you on a tour or something .

[@paulwediting7175]

Great tutorial man. Good editing as well!

[@danielwright1088]

thanks guys. this is actually a move I've been dying to get down as it, in my opinion, one of the most visually pleasing stunts. time to get itchy!

[@hamslice5601]

How nice what great tutorials. Not like I could ever do this but very interesting

[@SkyWolf1378]

Dude, Jesse, your video editing is a huge part of your tutorials, and I love everything you do with it, and your skills have improved a lot. Keep it up...2 questions though. Is there a way to mic yourself? I do notice a lot of planes in the background of most of your videos and it can be a bit distracting. And I noticed Shane only flipped in one direction. Is that pretty common for most people to only side flip in one direction? Thanks!

[@GamerXperto]

Wow, its the best Side Flip tutorial I ever see! Thank you so much, I wanna try it! :D

[@LaFlairParkour]

Love it!

[@charliestinnett9760]

thank you so much jesse and shane i am just past begginer and this helped me so much thanks

[@harimassudoku8274]

thx jesse its helping me alot ... still learning and trying to face my fear of falling and breaking my bones ... still at and wish me luck :)

[@nemuriyagi]

I've been waiting for a good side flip tutorial! Thanks!

[@parkourlegion8992]

IM a huge fan of assassins creed and realy want to know where to find the video jesse and shane mentioned

[@ezaytempah2429]

PARKOUR LEGION Yur Like Me Bruh

[@Malzzy2malzee]

I've learnt how to do everything in your tutorials except the kash so thanks!!! I was wondering if you could put up a corkscrew n slant/cheat gainer tutorial???

[@carcontroller]

this is rad! I wish i could learn everything like this!

[@tristonbowman4509]

dood what video editor do you use man i love how you edit those videos cool

[@MoPoppins]

Great work you're doing in post!

[@johncrow7316]

hey jesse im really out of shape and ive been really wanting to get in shape and start doing parkour. Any suggestions for a workout?

[@chazbenboe7995]

Awsome tutorial thanks guys

[@logandensley1164]

hey do u think that the double punch take off or the single foot take is better for a beginner?!?!?!?! please reply!!!

[@jumpersparkour9947]

Thanks Jesse our team finally did it after trying it more than a 1000 times Thanks!!

[@chimoji608]

Thanks Jesse! your tutorial really helped! I did my first good sideflip :) I noticed these were (and still are) my biggest mistakes and points to concentrate on 1. I arched my back wrong, should have bend slightly forward. 2. When pushing off the ground, I lifted my leg up the wrong way. More to the side than to my chest...this turned my body backward. 3. I turned my head to the left (not neutral).. therefore I backfliped :P Focussing on my feet helpes while flipping (to keep my head still)

[@danhudson3831]

what program did you use to make your intro! sick vid guys!

[@axeyouaquestion33]

I've actually been really close to doing a side flip. I've been doing them or at least attempting them before this vid, but just came to see a few pointers so hopefully ill figure out better techniques.

[@MABBS5films]

this really helped me on my landing, thanks jesse and shane

[@brocholdway3658]

Do these require great flexibility or just good vertical and technique?

[@melindafaye6827]

do you go over your head or your back?

[@KygoaBeastin]

Where did u get the shirt? And cool vid

[@remnantwings]

Great job on this tutorial guys

[@savagemaestro]

Amazing editing too,

[@MrBloodthirstyalex]

Going to start working on these, I think the sideway shoulder roll will help loads. Hmm I'm confused to what a barrel roll actually is, people say it's a log/sausage/pencil roll but in contemporary dance it's an actual move that akin to a tucked upright double leg, not a side flip, I really want to find a tutorial on that because I think that will also help progress to a side flip and double leg

[@joshcalvert4118]

I'm 12 yet I'm very good at gymnastics. Front flips hand stands ect. Do u think I shud have a go at this

[@StirYourLife]

How's youre ankle going jesse? doesnt look as bad now... great tutorial btw, hopefully I'll try that out soon (=

[@rezakargaran7850]

thanks dude i learn how to do back and front flip with tour videos!thanks a lot

[@devillevn]

Very nice gents! awesome tutorial

[@chimoji608]

The problem for me is the keeping my heads neutral 'Because!' i want to spot the ground, which makes my head turn and therefore not neutral :P i'll just try not spotting to much at first (in a gym). do i have to keep my head in the middle, close to my chest? or when you say neutral do you also mean, NOT pressed against your chest? Besides that, i think it was a really good tutorial! def gonna do the barrel roll, and head neutral thing ;) Thnx!

[@domovoi_butler]

Oh yes ist a really good tutorial, thank you guys so much for this.

[@isaacburch5132]

okay so theres a few different ways to approach a side flip. but if I caught onto what you were saying you want us to approach it the way you do so your shoulders don't turn you around while in the air Im more into martial arts and parkour than freerunning and tricking but I can do a few flips one of which is a frontflip I have been practicing doing a sideflip but punching into the ground like a front than turning my shoulders and having my arm grab my knees as I flip. are you saying I shudnt?

[@unco_pk_traceur7748]

correct me if im wrong (because I probably am) but wouldn't it be recommended to know how to do something like a b-twist first? Because I think that may help.

[@Qu0thTheRaven]

Incredibly thorough good work

[@glazedbullet]

Yeah, I agree 100% with that. He is honestly the only person I know on youtube who does it.

[@mrrandom123123]

Jesse you helped so much thanks to you now i can do my first flip (sideflip)

[@williamman7334]

How did you get the footage to mask so well? Like at 6:12. Do you just painstakingly mask every frame of the flip footage? I gotta know! xD

[@SwaggaJuice101]

Can someone reply.. How do you know when to release should you keep tucking and land naturally or look to the left and spot the ground? Plz & thx

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

Couple of days.... maybe snow will be away then. Germany's crap :( Well, then I will start with te freerunning stuff! Made some first moves now, your videos helped me damn good! Thanks men! Darius

[@BowHunterNman77]

Be sure to loosen up your knees prior to doing this. Blew my MCL Monday landing one, and I've been doing them for over three years.

[@lynch4411]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees i made it finally after 1.000.000.000.000 fails i made it :D

[@TF_2052]

wow..........awesome.......

[@lynch4411]

[@TF_2052]

[@TF_2052]

[@lynch4411]

2012 Alienong hahah you will make it i trained about 2 months so, and i still cant make it perfectly

[@willfelice702]

Fear is a choice

[@JAMES18005]

True, fear is all in the mind. If man can change alter his mind he can alter his life.

[@TheKalsgaard]

My sideflip isn't perfect, but it will be after I watch this video :D, Jesse you're the best, keep up the good work, and by the way I love you fight film, it's awesome!

[@DesmondDentresti]

i love your editing... could have a fade on it if you want it to blend more like a ghost. when doing the demonstration...

[@danhunt6764]

i am three and i have a masters degree in 720noscopes. i was inspire by connor rahkeotonin from ac unity in 2013 to do parkour and freeman. now i can do sideslip whilst noscoping ten ducks. and i can climb the box into high.

[@alfredopark2215]

*facepalm*

[@danhunt6764]

Alfredo Park dont worry my assassin friend roger borgia and Dr. Steven Steve will take care of this

[@erolgames5088]

Trololololol

[@thepotatohatman9177]

Alfredo Park rainbowdash!

[@spooderman9293]

LMAO a summary of the kids in these comment sections.

[@hcantrell10]

my friend and I, semi landed some side flips today, thanks Jesse!

[@enakodauntless6219]

Jesse what would you say is the best flip to start of with?

[@Hysokaofficiel]

Best tutorial I've seen so far

[@Lruiz56]

What of we just call those mest up sode flips where ypu and bakward a 180 side flip? And also of doimg that osnt harmful what of you do that into a backflip?(depending on momentum)

[@declandawson5569]

amazing I'm going to start working on it

[@juliojuraz74]

jesse can you please make a how to land from big drops videos it would really help me thank you

[@raqswaka1508]

Thank you so much this helped amazingly

[@contempzzskatezz2962]

Thank you I was starting a you tube channel and this is helping a lot.

[@mrsbc14]

Would doing side flips of of ledges count as a progression step to doing them on flat

[@ryancasiday673]

Hey I need help! i can do the movements but, I can't get enough height to do it. Ideas?

[@williamman7334]

I want to learn this on my bad side for tricking combos. Do you have any tips to give?

[@onlineequine4631]

Do what Jesse told you to do

[@DJaruk]

Great video!! It was good

[@chino0moreno]

dude i always end up in my ankles or knes on the ground! either i rotate and don't jump, or if i get enough high i don't rotate enough, i have pulled this one few times but im not consistent, imp rety sure this video will be very useful, thanks for taking the time to upload and show how to do it properly, i will try to pull it next time :D

[@SlimShady0579]

i can do a side flip with one arm place on an obstacle will that help me learn a side flip like side roll?

[@rizkiadim5670]

BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!

[@Txmy23]

Jesse I need help with my gather step. I notice that I'm doing some weird leap into my slip flip. Keep in mind that I do my side flip with my left. So how do I gather step

[@TheDDotZ]

You guys made my day

[@p4rk0ur73]

great vid mate thanks

[@pedrogorl1446]

and could you plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz do a turn vault turorial. im havin trouble getting in far enough on the turn

[@cameronzy279]

i wanna do it.... this is now my goal to do this and blow some minds into amazement

[@Bra1nzs]

Man it's awesome that u are shootinf videos for AC3. lucky :D

[@jeyjay023]

Good tutorial, I believe the side flip is the easiest move to learn. It's just a blocking move and if you just throw enough power and tuck hard you will land it smoothly

[@jonasvanderpluijm5687]

Do you need to be lithe/flexible for flipping in freerunning?

[@Kedut]

How long did u trained for it ?

[@GDG1101]

can u teach us how to keep our flow while pulling off vaults chaining moves together?

[@EpicNinja882]

nice a bunch of my friends do these and i wanted to learn too

[@Seeloe5417]

what editing thing do u use

[@TheShankapatamas27]

what kind of imovie are you using?
