My parkour opinion has arrived

[@lucyarisato6850]

Datto Does Parkour as a regular series sounds awesome.

[@Eternal_Tinsel]

Agreed. Was really interesting to see them learn some fundamental moves and start tying some together. Would be cool to see them develop more skills, to the point where they take on a course or something. Assuming Datto/Danielle want to make a series out of this

[@kris1d20]

10/10 would watch.

[@theforsakendonut1222]

Please!!!!

[@neptoon5954]

datto switches from titan to hunter irl

[@urazz7739]

Or shows us why he is a Titan main IRL. 😆

[@randomguys2]

Datto's getting into his Final Shape

[@connordeitz5088]

This is the datto content we need, I don’t think you could have made a better play creatively and productively than beginning this channel.

[@EllisWalker34]

I don't know the skill level of the teacher for comparison, but the way he works with the students is refreshing. no frustration, no pain points, laughing and just looking to help no matter how slow you take it. good on him.

[@rcditti]

datto, i appreciate you humbling yourself for our collective entertainment. looking forward to the ‘’jumping through a ring of fire on a motorbike’’ installment :)

[@YourMaxii]

Listening to the background Datto narration like he's still narrating a walkthrough of something will be evergreen.

[@Greenfourth]

The instructor seemed really great. Real positive energy!

[@captainsatire9628]

That there is a man who (or at least seems to) love his job!

[@octagon8769]

Hearing you mention karate in your teens brought me back to that old stream where no one else in math class believed you did it so you called your mom in the middle of VoG to have her verify. What a throwback.

[@thetastypoptart]

i love

[@_Goyle]

Danielle just zoomin’ around while Datto tries to remember his lefts and rights is not what I thought I’d get from this channel 😂

[@brandondennis7527]

Datto improving those jumping puzzle skills for the Final Shape Raid Race. This is his training arc.

[@JohnnySabu]

Datto belongs in that episode of The Office with Michael and Dwight playing parkour.

[@davidball9287]

Well done datto for giving it a go, I embrace your willingness to try new things, new content, new challenges, it shows a lot about your character in life if you embrace these challenges and new things, keep going and all the best

[@Toshiro66669]

soon as you talked about the hand and opposite foot I started thinking about it and my natural thing is same hand and foot just interesting never thought about it before

[@rytterl]

I did a lot of track and field, and skateboarding when I was younger, so the opisite thing is my natural thing. Weird how that just happens.

[@bombshellblonde544]

That instructor seemed like SUCH a blast! So positive and a great sense of humor!

[@jackbennett8966]

I love that he's breaking it down with commentary the whole time. Bless this man

[@PlasticSpork_]

Raid guide commentating really brings this video together

[@keybirdgaming4527]

Lmao where's the raid music

[@Mr_Meister]

I took parkour classes for many years and only stopped due to not having enough time. I remember the same struggles when learning the basics and even still when learning the complicated/more advanced stuff years in. Its hard to get your mind to ignore what "makes sense" until you can get past that mental hurdle. Then it all feels great to do once you're used to it! Sidenote: the dancing comment is extremely relatable

[@1nerdyguy]

I love Danielle’s scar jo moments where you can tell she feels like a badass

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Love to see it Datto! I actually founded the SF Bay Area parkour community in 2005. Out of practice now, getting too old lol, but parkour has and will be near and dear to me

[@Captain_Yata]

Mrs. Trv is indestructible that fall would have genuinely killed me

[@traveldanielle]

stunts!

[@johnnyhall9154]

Datto is dancing with death in that thumbnail. Free feet pics bring the wrong crowd

[@jetjaguar5198]

Now i know why i can’t complete a raid…im not working out enough…thanks Datto for helping me realizing the issue 👍🤜

[@MoxieW]

I did parkour for a few years in my teens. Always one of the highlights of my week. Been meaning to get back into it for ages but need to seriously work on my knee and ankle strength before i do. Im so out of shape 😅

[@MoxieW]

Also I laughed more than I care to admit at the 'free' in freerunning being about it not costing any money 😂 That's comedy right there

[@Nick-82]

Watching that drive in. Me: Datto blink if you're being held against your will lol

[@UberDragon99]

I’m a parkour and ninja watrior coach and this made me happy to see. I love any chance for people to join the movement community.

[@migueldevera5080]

Here we see, a Datto in its natural habitat. Ferocious. Graceful. It dances for its mate - if he does it well, he will avoid the vengeful hand time.

[@cheyennemoore8380]

This was so fun to watch. Seeing you and Danielle together made my day. I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it despite how tired you must've been.

[@AgonistX]

I kept watching this and having you describe the "now you have to do this in reverse" and all I kept thinking is "you can do this man, you solve raid puzzles". Loved this episode, didn't even know parkour classes were a thing until today. Looks like a really fun way to exercise.

[@LadyBug_man]

I tripped over on flat ground and nearly took myself out for a week, you guys had some gnarly falls and brushed it off pretty well! Especially mrs trv! Would genuinely enjoy watching y’all do more of this stuff, looked fun as hell!

[@haydnwilde7158]

It's all about the flow my dude you're over committing initially and then bailing half way through, hence the back bonk, start slow then commit at the end of the move like right at the end i.e. the getting off the block, then, repeat and commit further from the end each time. eventually you'll be committing for the whole thing. Slow and correct is far better than rushed and injured. I think you'll see an improvement if you keep at it, love the content and keep it up! (source ya boi does a similar sort of class on the regular and has done for the past 6 years)

[@dwightd.murphyjr.8483]

That looks like an extreme cardio workout. This was a good watch and I needed some laughs. Thank you both. I love these videos. 😊

[@justanotherasian8908]

The hardest jumping puzzle😂

[@keybirdgaming4527]

When sword fighting course - hit me up if youre ever in Finland and want to learn some cutting drills

[@widsof7862]

i came into this so hoping Datto would find a ledge hard and say ‘why won’t it mantle’. loving this stuff btw, you two have a really good contrast when you do vids together

[@karste385]

Cant wait for the sequel of "urban exploration datto runs from police officers extreme parkour 4k gopro footage"

[@SharkJnr]

This was such an entertaining watch, need more of this kind of thing in the future!

[@Cepv34]

Between this and drunk datto, this is the best channel ever

[@kenzieb144]

I love this, also I NEED Danielle to play a superhero in a movie, omg that'd be amazing!!! Great job you two! And shout out to your trainer, he was so funny!

[@Pyro_Chopper]

"I just thought it didn't cost any money." You win. I'll like the video for that.

[@brandonpaine1032]

Parkour is awesome! Been doing it since I was 15 and it works really well for people with our frames... skinny folks lol. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@williamhefner3804]

As someone who has done parkour for 8 or 9 years, I will say, I only recognized a couple of the skills, but that’s the beauty of the sport. People come up with new skills all the time. You’re right about being smooth being very important, and that’s a great place to start, but it really gets fun when you start learning harder stuff and linking those together. Glad to see you trying it out Datto!

[@traveldanielle]

this class is technically a mix of parkour, freerunning, capoeira, etc. Its more about flow movement than just parkour, but he just simplified it to parkour cuz that's recognized by most people :)

[@williamhefner3804]

@@traveldanielle ah, that makes a lot of sense actually😂. You guys did great! Keep at it!

[@aarongreen1618]

This was cool to see hope to see more of this, can't wait for your first kong or wall spin

[@Mr.Toast117]

Great video. Reminds me of when I started taking Dance Trapeeze classes with a friend on a whim. My body was broken after every class, but I can promise it does get easier after a couple months.

[@WhoTheKing1]

I started aerial silks classes this year and Datto's general awkwardness and body coordination reminds me so much of my first two or three weeks. I am a very similar body type as Datto (though I think a little taller) and the progress I've made from the classes and the general strength training I've done on the side is surprising. Keep it up Datto!

[@TheBlamoman]

It would've been hilarious if Datto put the raid guide music in the background while he was explaining what they were doing.

[@Mikes_NotSane]

very interesting to see! cool that there's a business for this that teaches you to do it safe and better

[@itsterra9381]

Seems like a blast, you had a fun and energetic coach who kept pushing you to get better. Hope this little series continues, it's fun to watch

[@mistavoid]

MovementByDavid has a lot of warm ups that would help get better at this

[@traveldanielle]

I use his Joint Strength supplement :)

[@WebofHope]

wild how much yall look like normal people. Good thing we know better

[@DJ_wukong]

The epitome of content, a gamer getting fit, Lord Datto

[@AfroSamuraii_]

It’s as if I’m witnessing a modern-day Sébastien Foucan. Divine work. If you want to convince yourself to get into the mood of doing more parkour, you could try playing Mirror’s Edge. The second game is one of my favorite games of all time. Sadly, the servers for the online user content were taken down, so you wouldn’t be able to find people’s clever geocaches, but the game itself is still mad fun.

[@Acguy55]

As much as my back hurts just watching, it was still a fun video. Much respect for giving this a go.

[@TheCrazyChickity]

I love this type of content for your channel. Definitely keep it up

[@DallasDawg69]

this is the most beautiful yet cursed video i've seen i love it

[@IWearShoes31]

I used to do parkour quite a bit and the roll is by far the most important skill you can have for negating the momentum of a fall

[@MinorTom15]

Your voiceover is triggering the "learning raid mechanics" pavlovian response. Opposite hand and foot sounds like a raid mechanic for Reprised Gahlran or something.

[@Deserfox]

Even irl, Datto sounds like he is giving a tutorial.

[@Bird.droppings]

This was such a cool video! I hope you're willing to do more!

[@Jax_Two]

These moves actually look so clean. Even just the simple stuff like mantling are just really cool looking motions.

[@Maaaaaaaaads]

Datto vlogs are something I never knew I needed but now somehow want more of.

[@renzodaihannya8644]

Ah, the classic smeagol warmup.

[@gbaldwin1947]

I wanna do this so bad now…! I think you both did great!

[@16rosati]

So awesome to see you both trying new things together !

[@svenseiler6673]

hey i loved this video so much i do parkour since 10 years and love destiny because of its movement its great to see you guys try and improve over the course of this video keep it up if u got the basics down its starts to really flow and only ur own creativity is going to be ur limit love the content on this channel

[@drewsperoni6443]

When I first found this channel I thought it'd be really cool to see datto playing different games. Now here I am watching this guy parkour and loving it.

[@matchboxp]

This was great to watch! Would love more irl stuff!

[@Brozy1337]

Honestly props for giving it a soild go and trying something new, vid was 100% entertaining and also educational to see what actually goes into parkour other than just the running and yeeting off buildings.

[@Subsistence69]

This would be so awesome to see as a progression series

[@RubyAlternate]

I'm the least coordinated person on the planet so as soon as you started talking about opposite hand/foot motions, I was tapped out, I was like "nah that would make my brain do a somersault"

[@Themistocoles480]

Yo yo if you enjoy this and want to work on more coordination stuff, I'd highly recommend finding a good modern dance class! This instructor really moves like a dancer would. A modern class would REALLY help give you the comfort/coordination moving and a great sense of spatial awareness. Regardless, thanks for posting something like this - it's great to see you out and doing things in real life! Last thing - if you're back is hurting 11/10 recommend a good pilates instructor. It will really help in learning how to activate your core to protect your back!

[@Yilue]

In school I think year/grade 6 or 7 my friends had a secerete little parkour club in this corner of the school. It was just a ledge on a wall that you could run up and crab. We where talking to the P.E teachers in about parkour and eventually they brought in once a week after school on a thursday a parkour instructor. Probably the most fun I've had in school lol. The P.E teacher we had was such a nice guy and I think he still works at that school. He gave us all a secret rare dark magician girl yugioh card. I dont know how many he had but I know I couldnt give that away 🤣

[@aoi394]

This was so fun to watch! Such a cool class that I didn’t know existed! Watched this with my boyfriend and now he wants to find parkour classes near us :)

[@DorGenosar]

I feel like Datto and Tom Scott doing parkour together will be awesome

[@tylermike8364]

God, I love this, even more reason to love these two. Parkour!

[@hostedbykj]

The instructor has really good energy. This is GREAT content!!

[@hostedbykj]

Also, as a glasses wearer, doing this with the specs on is CRAZY

[@colincarey6561]

This is awesome! Would love to try a class like this. Hope to see more IRL adventures.

[@hannibal3143]

Hearing datto doing voice over for the parkour class after years of hearing his voice over destiny videos is so strange, but also amazing!

[@mattys3248]

Hahaha dude I would be EXACTLY the same as you! Great video!

[@brenopaiva7969]

More of this PLEASE!!!

[@McNasty43]

Played sports all my life. Football, baseball, basketball, combat sports, and parkour. The opposite sides thing is prevalent is almost ALL sports, and is the most difficult fundamental to get a handle on for most people, because it seems counterintuitive at first. Your instinct is to jump off/lead with your dominant foot at all times. Once it becomes muscle memory, the fluidity of your movements drastically improves in almost all situations. You feel faster and more balanced when you move the way they're teaching you.

[@Wizard.Wallace]

Hey Datto, really good video as always. Seeing you do parkour is a pretty cool content idea, and I for one would love to see more if it’s something you find interesting or would want to learn. Like a progression overtime type deal. But anyways, great job and keep it up

[@HelloDatto]

considering doin an update every month or two, we'll see

[@galaxyngc224]

I would certainly be down to watch more of this. It was pretty cool to watch.

[@alexandermorsink]

Datto is out here looking for his 'final shape'

[@spire1123]

This video gives me middle school flashbacks lol. I remember learning to do and chain all of these movements, good times

[@FettuccineAllaGay]

PARKOUUUUUUUUUUUUR

[@jcash1584]

I would love a video of a day of you learning the fighting game of your choice.

[@BeeyothGaming]

I love how this still feels like a guide video 😂

[@josefstrom4865]

9.10 - Daniel goes full ninja style..

[@BunniEnjoyer11]

One of my favorite datto vids

[@VladShpiro]

Datto getting in... FINAL SHAPE (wink) I'll grab my coat on the way out...

[@Magmarr434]

Datto parkour before the final shape is crazy

[@shadowthenut4039]

great content datto, love to see you branching into new areas, hope to see you do more :)

[@Soizit_Blindy]

I feel ya on the awkwardness. I started playing American Football a few years ago after only ever going to the gym. I was so unathletic even for an lineman in the lowest league in my area lmao.

[@lucasbosier6808]

Certainly a different video than I’ve seen before, I never knew parkour could be so hard to train for.

[@joshuatreacy6610]

genuinly sounds like the same things I was told when I was diagnosed as dyslexic XD your mind has a simples set of instrucions in order, then your body does them all at once haha.... was done, but not done right hahaha

[@astonegargoyle4049]

I wish I had a local place to do this stuff. The closest one is... 3-5 hours away? Either way, not close enough to be able to do it.

[@adriansacher5244]

I wish you would have time stamped this video as you would a raid guide video

[@DannyUntamed]

4:26 you had a pretty smooth looking transition. Hopefully we get to see more of this. Would love to see how you improve over a few months of practice.

[@YEETSTER23]

Damn, mental and physical gymnastics going on here.
