The BEST Movement Athlete You've Never Heard Of...

[@zachparade2791]

Ilabaca was a really important part of the first wave after the founders. He is a super rare person who deeply integrated the philosophy, spirit, and movement potentials of parkour. Although sometimes you might still see an argument about flipping and parkour, he essentially ended the argument by explaining that flipping and tricking helps to increase your spatial awareness, which increases you usefulness as a mover and greatly enhances your safety. Easily one of the most important traceurs of all time!

100% I’ve had the pleasure of training and hanging out with him a few times when I lived in Liverpool. Really great guy

[@Neji1984]

​@@movementfocusseemed like he hardly ever made mistakes during parkour. What did you see?

[@InnerSyncMusic]

Why do you say was?He quit parkour?

[@zachparade2791]

I don’t know if he quit parkour, but he definitely stepped out of the spotlight. Hope he still enjoys training!

[@DavidRoPin2704]

The Jesus of Parkour.

[@RainbowRenegade]

Ah the golden times of parkour. That name brings back memories

[@Ayr0music]

I will forever carry with me the philosophy of choose not to fall. It taught me the importance of being decisive and having a strong mindset when taking a leap of faith in anything that i do in life. If you are Afraid to fall you will fall because you are afraid. And for that I’ll always be forever thankful to this legend.

Man i wanted to be this dude as a teen.

[@iNINJAgamer]

Yes indeed, Daniel Ilabaca is the Godfather of Parkour. Out of all the people I watched and ones he stood around, he stood out the most. The way he did everything with such ease and flow. I’ll never forget the name and the face of *Daniel Ilabaca* .

[@InnerSyncMusic]

The Godfather is David Belle for those who never heard of him.

@@InnerSyncMusicno its not david belle bro get over it

[@InnerSyncMusic]

@@adalEun Do some serious research before comment...

[@Bananikus]

It's not about who was first, but who was the most impactful. For many it was Danny more than Belle, even that he was first who define the name parkour.

[@caleb4035]

もう10年以上前になるが、ダニー達と日本で練習をした日を一生忘れない。あの頃に戻れたらいいのにね

[@Sorennn94]

He is a living legend one of of my top three traceurs (1.David Belle,Sebastian Foukan, Daniel illabaca) Thank you for your time and effort you’ve done for this video !

[@movementfocus]

The founders and the god father 😁👍

[@PkSage89]

Heard of him over a decade ago, there was many. Where they are now i don't know.

[@juako961]

Ilabaca is the GOAT. Soooo ahead of his time...

[@ericarchuleta9144]

Danny is The G.O.A.T Of Parkour

[@iNINJAgamer]

I couldn’t say it no better. 😊

[@wwfera00]

Never heard about? Wow I'm kinda surprised and sad a little that this would be a video haha. Then again I understand since Daniel was one of the OG's and why I even started parkour back in 07. Definitely my top 3 that inspired me to move with such flow, creativity, precision, and overall perfection. My opinion, he is the epitome of what parkour is.

[@Serve3000]

Daniel made flipping cool to Parkour because at one time it was considered useless to tracers

[@GODDESSIAMDATIAM]

He’s a real life super hero!! How can a human do these things!! Extremely extraordinary🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ God’s Gift ASE’🙌🏾 My Hero

[@Tvsland]

Used to be my Freerunning idol.

[@fastmclaren71]

Midnight madness.

[@GR-ef1hx]

david bell is the origin of parkour

[@fabio3903]

Gostava muito do Estilo de Ilabaca .. Na minha época Chase Armitage e Daniel Ilabaca arrebentavam o 3run parkour

[@HortonGourcuff]

Cover chase armitage

[@ericarchuleta9144]

what about western style parkour

[@movementfocus]

What’s western style? I’ve never heard of that before

[@ericarchuleta9144]

@@movementfocus I made it up I don’t even think there is such a style. unless you can practice it in the Midwest cause I’m from Colorado. If they did have a parkour tournament like in the downtown part of Denver, I think will be interesting host an event or something

[@lethalassassin1754]

Danny still helped pioneer it across america. The failed TV show MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challege was a double-edged sword. It brought more publicity to parkour in America, but also was seen and misunderstood horribly. Some incredible athletes took bad spills and MTV was like...film that shit! Woo! Lmao

[@mattyy101]

It is moreton not morecome lol I was a few years younger than danny but he a really sound guy. His tree house was boss xD
