I think your dialogue about Maven and Crooked man is spot on. The difference in quality when you have a dedicated filmer and team of editors really makes a difference. Plus it really lets the athletes have the bandwidth to perform at their best.

I'm glad I listened to the very end of the Spotify episode and heard y'all were on a different channel. I wish y'all had said the name of the channel cause it was pretty tricky to find, being so small. 😅 This episode was amazing! One thing I wanted to say about parkour rules conversation is: not only do the situations vary, but the actual objectives vary as well, and that to me is a huge difference between parkour and other sports. There is no objective built into the sport, and so we all have the opportunity to decide what we care about. Someone's only goal might be A2B speed, and they'll never do a stick in their life, and for them, perfect technique is to intentionally overshoot basically every pre they do. Some athletes, if their only goal is to tag people in WCT, maybe will wear kneepads and intentionally use their knees. Some people legitimately care about aesthetic form, and so good technique is to always point their toes, or never point their toes, or whatever their aesthetic is. I'm sure I can think of more. The thought I came to after listening to y'all, is that of course we should be teaching these things, because as coaches, when introducing parkour, we are passing on our values to the students. And that might be unavoidable. But a good way to share good technique, while encouraging them to be free thinkers, and without using universal rules, is this. Being clear on what objectives people can help further by using, for example, ball-of-the-foot-on-the-edge landings (Explain that they help with sticks and safety and aesthetics. You can decelerate more reliably and avoid injuries coming from slips and bruised arches, as well as easing the strain on your knees and other joints above the ankle. Everyone does it this way and it looks cool), and it's good to explain the mechanisms by which the techique aids the pursuit of those values (i.e. the ankle has better leverage to absorb impact, the corner of the wall gives better grip than the top does if you're coming at it from the from the side [and you can demonstrate the physics of this], it looks cool because it demonstrates precision and balance and it looks risky landing with most of your foot off the wall). If you explain how the tech works, then students can encounter situations that don't call for it, (like a plyo where they don't want to decelerate and aren't worried about slipping) and they can think, "well, if I land in the middle of the wall, I won't bruise my arch on the edge, and I won't decelerate so much, and maybe I can push off the far edge of the wall with my toes." Or whatever. This is how I taught myself parkour, and knowing how the standard techniques work ended up with me still choosing to use them most of the time, but being able to recognize when they aren't helpful. This comment is already way too long, but another good example of a technique I did this with is the arms-behind-you airform that people use on jumps, because when I started, I actually never did it, but at some point I noticed that Everyone I watch does it, and so I just copied them, but then I got curious and started conversations with people about how it might be helpful, and it has actually done a lot to level-up my game. I also learned in the process that most athletes can't say why they do it.

Classic Yamakasi airform ftw. I'm guilty of spending an entire session drilling this position in the early 2000's. - René
