Everytime I hear ellie goulding my memory shoots to this video immediately. I remember showing my mom wanting to go so badly. I still got goosebumps rewatching this now. Great video

[@dune4396]

Fr begged my parents into driving an hr to bring me

[@John-kx2do]

Did we live the same life bc I came here to comment the same thing

[@Carmengio5963]

SAME THING HERE To this day every time I hear this song I think of this video. After this I used to go to Tempest once in a while and actually got good at free running. I haven’t done that in years but I miss the passion and the memories

[@FlyHigh_Official]

Holy shit me too that’s crazy

[@hansvice1537]

Same here 🙌🏻

[@letsbelonelytogether]

I remember watching this When i was 12, Im 21 now holy FUCK time goes fast. Still Cant do parkour But this shit is sick to this day. The song is iconic to this video

[@nmm8817]

Its weird coming back to these videos nowadays, the music hits way different

[@andrewgholami3309]

literally the same bro I remember watching this in 5th grade and now I'm 20 in my sophomore year of college. Crazy how time flies

I just cried... This is a core memory for me, this video, this song, that stage of my teenager life practicing parkour. I was happy... And I knew/know it

[@nxrwxl]

I remember watching this in my old house when I was 11 and I wanted to go there so bad and I'm almost 16 now -_- jeez edit: im 22 now as of 12.13.22.. time flies 😭hope everyone is doing well!

[@potatojake197]

me . . . sorry for late reply

[@OscarWHudson]

yes

[@blokejr4801]

🙄🙄Yeah but noooo they had to do quadruple backflips and shit😪

[@hnek]

yes, they need me just lightly hopping onto a 6" curb and hopping off and thinking that was pretty good.

[@mistaduxgaming3237]

I would hate to play tag with these people

[@carlosrescendez590]

This video inspired me when I was like 12 years old, I'm 20 now and still dream of one day visiting you guys ❤

[@kev4850]

@SoloFrogg don’t give up!! I was your age too watching these and I’m also gonna be 20 😂

[@adenwilson751]

OMG SAME I LITERALLY WATCHED THIS VIDEO WHEN I WAS 8 10 years ago

[@thecomputersciencetutor7019]

You can come if you want to do bad. It’s in Chatsworth, California. Well this exact location at least. There is one more in California and one location in Dallas, Texas. But I personally think this location is the best one because it’s the original location.

[@b.iquitoso9695]

Did you go yet? You're 23 now. Tell us your stories.

[@villy9762]

This vid inspired me to start free running

[@fazesoundgod9373]

i started freerinning 4 years ago and all i could tell you is put your mind to it and dont questioned yourself if you could do it or if your scared just go for it

[@calebf3655]

+faZe soundgod I've been doing parkour for 3 years I'm not that good at it but based on what I've learned and experiences I would say that's good advise

[@fazesoundgod9373]

thx

[@samwent4074]

Villy Zakis same

[@carlosrescendez590]

same I still suck at it tho

[@aniqimran9992]

I remember i watch this video.. Back in 2011 when i was 7 years old... Ohhh man.... This is bringing some Nostalgia sh#t.....

[@vulked2663]

Me too

[@adenwilson751]

YES SAME. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE COOLEST VIDEO EVER WHEN I WAS 8 10 years ago

[@CarlosHernandez-uj8vo]

There’s a couple of videos throughout the internet that had enough of an inspirational impact to shape me into to who I am today. This is one of those videos that I seem to come back to every now and then to feel the same way I felt when I first got goosebumps to make videos and shaped my creativity into what it is today.

[@novasupr]

meanwhile, the guy that picks up the camera is william spencer, the stunt double for the amazing spiderman lmao i just realized this

[@jerms910]

how do you know that?

[@novasupr]

i've watched a lot of the behind the scenes features

[@Doobi5151]

He skateboards as well, watch some of those videos. So sick

[@novasupr]

Doobi5151 i've seen them, he's pretty good

[@dominoscatnip5922]

Used to watch this video all the time back in the day. I still think of it when I listen to the music. A time when I was more innocent, a time when I was unsure. I'm 29 now. I realize that my twenties were a learning experience and now going into my 30's I know what I really need to be doing. Things will be okay, everyone. You have my word. Love you all.

[@egyptianspaceodin1373]

i remember playing mirrors edge back in 2008 and then seeing this video years later..... made me fall in love with parkour. i never really knew how to break into it but here i am a decade later practicing wall runs for the first time. god damn ive been missing so much.

[@greck7089]

Good luck with your trainings! And thank you for this story, it’s really inspiring imo

[@maribelsalas3588]

Whenever a video game needs parkour, they call these guys.

[@dustymax56]

Still one of the greatest commercials ever filmed, definitely one of the greatest parkour vids

[@theothergrayson801]

Even 11 years later, it's still a really awesome parkour video

[@SgtTraceur]

Bro this still lives in my memory. This was absolutely fire back in the day. Every free runner wanted tempest kicks.

[@hexadecimal9914]

man its been 10 years and I still shiver watching it.. by the time this was unbelievable to exist

[@ayershov777]

obstacles or not, then god bless you.

[@Mothman1992]

there's an opening on the side, and even if there wasn't, my fat ass could step over those bars. the real problem is the toilets are six feet up and the urinals require hanging from the ceiling

[@thisiscoral]

^lol

[@tyler5278]

watching this 9 years later, i don't trick anymore but this brings back so many amazing memories of times with friends i no longer have, watched this video as a kid 100+ times viewing this place as the mecca of its time, i wish you all well

[@theelkmenarrive7288]

I used to watch this 24/7 when I was 5.... just found it again

[@user-kw2dn9lz2s]

Idc what anyone says this video will always be my favorite! Every time I see it, it gets better as time goes on😭🔥

[@tyler2461]

I remember when this first came out

[@LukeNorth]

Just remembered this video for the first time in years. STILL SO GOOD

[@sketchyarts2369]

I remember watching this when I was like 9 years old. I'm 14 now and do ALOT of parkour to where it's an everyday thing now. And how it started was when I watched this for the first time and started becoming interested in this to where I wanted to do this.

[@K3nseiii]

Do you still do parkour? I want to learn but it seems really difficult lol

[@dantaylor7344]

Wonder if the car park has it's own Ambulance space?

[@overtheedgetrickshots5791]

😂

[@rezal643]

dan taylor it doesn't, and barely anyone gets hurt. The coaches are very careful.

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

It's hard to believe that a second gym is opening. It seems like just yesterday they announced this one opening. Remember the old days? Before some of the guys like La Flair, back when tempest wasn't huge. It awesome to see how far they have gone and are going. This video brings back good memories!

[@TigrayWelela]

One of my favourite videos, brings back beautiful memory. I hope everyone in the videos doing awesome. ❤

[@billycollins2304]

This video changed my life. I’ve been doing everything from freerunning to trampoline and now tricking for a couple years now thanks to this video. I thought about this video today and thought I’d come check it out again. The amount I’ve learned since I first watched this video is amazing. Thank you Tempest ❤️

siya4ful Trust me, when you turn into a professional at free running, pain won't be anything. You'll be that pain resistant. A broken leg will feel close to a knee scrape.

@@microgrom1736 wait South Bay closed?

[@microgrom1736]

@@MPAproductions yes a while ago actually the last thing that was there was the tempest games

[@trueassn5072]

10 years ago, 13 year old me thought this was the coolest thing ever. I was obsessed with parkour and then saw this and had to try it. However, I was overweight and kept putting it off until I slowly stopped watching parkour videos. Now I'm 23 and 100lbs lighter but my body won't let me do that now. Joint pain has decreased my chances. Please if you have something you're passionate about, do not put it off. Although I wish I had done parkour earlier this was a happy rediscovery.

[@makaielite]

Wait 15 more years for biorobotic enhancements and youll be able to do all the parkour you want

[@IntakeBliss]

I was lucky enough to have parents that could take me here as a kid. I went when i was around 11/12 and still think about this place a lot. We were way too young and unskilled to do any of this cool stuff but as a 12 year old running thru that super mario course, i had the best weekend of my life. Im 22 now and this ellie goulding song is forever engrained in my head, connected to none other than tempest free running.

[@Supermynci9000]

I most definitely want to learn all of this!

[@ludwigborgkvist5692]

Ellie Goulding - Lights, or something like that ^^

[@valetinja]

I remember watching this over and over when I was like 9. I’m 20 now. Literally heard song on TV and memories just started coming. I’m so happy I found this video after 11 years.

[@MoraleParanormal]

This is the video that made me want to go to tempest back when I was little, I still want to go, sadly there is no tempest near me.

[@mrjalepenoman]

2:16 backround guy: PFFFFT screw gravity

[@GDDubya]

I wish there was one of these in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

[@scorchedearth807]

Absolutely!!

[@nate.taylor]

There basically is. Check out "Fight or Flight academy" if you're still interested. Used to go there all the time, it's even Mirror's Edge themed.

[@hudsonmatz6025]

[@Anonymous-ny9dl]

I was looking for this song and this video for a very long while now I finally found it, bring back a lot of great memories from childhood!

[@jackjosephcandido467]

I resonate with all these comments. I was 12 and 13 going to tempest and had the best time ever! 21 now and want to come back soon. This song reminds me of tempest whenever I hear it.

[@nocandy6462]

davomar11 sameeee i been watching this since 2014

[@UksiHattu12]

This is so cool. I wish i could do this but i cant even frontflip :/

[@ryanfitzpatrick3008]

Backflip is easier than front flip, start there:)

[@RaveStarTV]

Colonel Duk Nah ryan is right, although I learnt front flip first, When I first did a backflip i have come to realise that it's a lot easier than frontflip and especially easier to land on both feet. Then again Im only 15 so it might be easier because I'm younger and I'm quite light. Backflips are just scarier to do, once you get over the fear it's very easy

[@ryanfitzpatrick3008]

That's the trick though, a backflip is 100% just a confidence barrier.

[@leefor3582]

yea like I can do 6 backflips in a row without stopping but it just took me time and confidence to try it

[@jacquiegordon4674]

I can't frontflip but I don't even care. I do what I want to, which is not flips. I don't judge myself because I'm not as good as other people. So if flips are something you want to do, go right for it. But if not, well, that's your choice. But just don't pressure yourself to be like others.

[@spookyfile5128]

I wanna go there. Im a 13 year old parkourist i have been doing it since i was 11
