Toby Segar Sets HARDEST Parkour Moves In Climbing Gym

Toby Segar Sets The Hardest Parkour Style Boulder In The Climbing Gym. Use code ‘HANNAH15’ for 15% OFF pants, tees & apparel from Rúngne! ☞ rungne.info/HMBII
When we brought together Toby Segar from Storror, and legendary rock climber Johnny Dawes, they created a set of dynamic bouldering problems like we had never seen before.
As a team, Toby Segar and Johnny Dawes tackled five boulders, which gradually become harder and harder, to push their skill, technique and strength to the limit.
You can find the first four boulders in the first part of our parkour series.
☞ • Toby Segar + LEGENDARY...
In this second part, Toby and Johnny try the final boulder. The route was set by Toby to turn a run and jump style parkour movement into a bouldering probem.
Watch, as Hannah Morris, Toby Segar, Johnny Dawes and Nathan Betts, slowly learn the movement style, and unlock the hardest parkour problem in the gym.

Johnny's mind truly needs to be studied lol. Every time Toby came off the wall, i was like surely Johnny doesn't have another tip, and he does and its more insane than the last

[@davidmanchester8978]

He appears to have a deep interest in sport psychology. I'm not sure he would describe it as such.

[@tummyg]

What’s your mother’s maiden name?

[@alexambro4998]

I can only imagine what would happen if the rest of the team, especially callum, was exposed to this man ahahahaha

[@RADARLIVE89]

Johnny would swiftly get thrown into a smooth and high walled escape pit so he can banter with himself down there while the Storror team get some actual training done. Then install a fixed roof on the pit for good measure

[@mikelazure7462]

OH, that is an AWESOME image, hell yes, the chaos energy those two would generate, the intense mixture of individualistic 'ways' bouncing off each other. Now THAT would be a "buddy movie" to beat all buddy movies. Callum and Johnny on the run together thru Brighton rooftopscapes that are somehow mixed with Peak District rock formations from some rule obsessed copper turned assassin.

[@vaindeludingjoys]

"Two grannies on the train" is f***ing brilliant--a genuinely gorgeous description of a headspace for performance

[@sabenws8261]

this was my biggest takeaway from the video too. really thought provoking stuff out of this johnny fellow’s mind

[@kavali6320]

Big thanks to Hannah to give Toby and Johnny a stage here. It was so interesting to hear their thoughts and watch the interactions. Glad Toby got it in the end.

[@davidsimpson3885]

love the fact that toby knew what johny was on about, alot of younger people might think he's just waffeling weird stuff, but he knows what goes into performing at the limit, what you need to do to dial it in. Absolute Legend.

[@NathanBetts]

A big thank you to Toby and Johnny for their time - and their enthusiasm to try out our slightly unusual idea to bring them together to set boulders. If you haven’t seen part one yet, I’d recommend checking it out for more stories, falls, and unexpected moves. We really enjoyed the playful movement, and it turned out as funny as we imagined, credit to Toby and Johnny who were meeting for the first time on the day.

[@outpostjared7835]

Johnny and Toby are such a wonderful duo. they both practice movement but in very different ways

[@brunoloboo2]

So glad Toby got it in the end! As a more static climber, it’s great to see people do dynamic stuff and get some tips from them. Even if I don’t know what Johnny Dawes is talking about most of the time 😄

[@mikel.mp4]

johnny is 59! not afraid of pushing the body on a session while taking it not seriously, and the joy of the session #life_goals

[@mikelazure7462]

15:28 "New failure... very auspicious." Just beautiful wisdom and insight into a particular way of seeing the process and probably all of life. These two together are "vibe gold" - respect, enjoyment, skill, experience, fun, proper listening - wonderful content.

[@danrkelly]

Toby videos curated by Hannah and Nathan are just the most wholesome entertainment. Bravo all!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you like em' :)

[@adrianmeadows6855]

wait the conversation about fear/commitment that lead to "two grannies on the train" was so inspiring... I loved the editing with Toby's attempts +their dynamic conversation. Really really good stuff!

[@Cj7Pongs]

Johnny has such a beautiful and unique way of visualising and manifesting his movement with sound and imagery and metaphor. It’s so inspiring to see such a wildly creative mind and artistic intuition put into a hyper-technical movement sport like climbing, even in the way he moves and experiments with movement is so spontaneous and free. An absolute gem of a guest, and it pairs so brilliantly with the ethos of parkour and Toby’s own approach to moving…thanks for making this happen!!!

[@CruiseWavy1388]

you should meet me, then

[@Doctorkeagle]

sounds like nonsense i dont get it at all

[@Crazyoldman84]

He seems like a nice guy but he talks nonsense.

[@marcinczapski8547]

@@Crazyoldman84 it makes all the sense, its just very abstract. that part if thinking is hugely important for certain performances and also only for certain people. its basically building a scaffolding out of associations to support the very technical and sober part of a sport. its very interesting if you just dont stonewall it, simply because its excentric/unorthodox. as someone who likes to push my performance to a very high standard i know exactly where he comes from. its fun to think like that too, goofing around in a productive way is very valueable, if you believe it or not.

[@Anettesque]

Hoping Toby becomes a regular guest on the channel!

[@daveatutube]

As a certified Old Fart I can remember watching Stone Monkey on a dodgy VHS far too many times. There was an electronic version floating around, but for some reason the footage of the Quarryman didn't have Zappa as the music and it did my head in. Seeing Johnny still bouncing and smiling makes me happy. Thanks Hannah.

[@Mt-BNN]

Johnny trully must have Synesthesia its crazy the way he associates, shapes sounds to actions and words. Fascinating

[@nik96nik]

Finally part 2!!!! Been so excited for this since the first one!

[@88Spint]

Watching toby set his own boulder and fail it tons of times really fits his style :D "This is hard but I think it can be done so let me work on it until I do it" such a badass.

[@TomAnkcorn]

I have been waiting for part 2 for so long

[@Charkunt.d5]

Imagine Johnny in his prime in any of the videos with Toby! ❤ As amazing as it is to see him be this good at his age, if we could watch them both climb together in their prime would be amazing!!!!love these videos!!❤

[@barneyadams9869]

Plenty of old videos of Dawes to be found

[@stellar9553]

That was so amazing seeing all of the effort that went into the final send! Johnny is absolutely amazing at helping others conceptualize movement

[@MidLifeCrimper]

Man this is the dream team!! Johnny’s such a legend, love that man’s personality

[@XRezZzoN]

tbh at times it seems like Toby just wants a break from Johnnys advice 😄

[@robtournadre]

He never stops talking, does he?

[@johnnydawesofficial]

Probably lol. For you more than us. .

[@tinne26]

Johnny's advice can be fun, psychologically motivating and even insightful for some people, but yeah, in this case, Toby already has his own process, and he's one of the best at it, it's a very unique skill; very few people can do 100+ attempts on a move, and keep tuning in more and more into it, improving with each attempt. But Toby has that incredible ability. That's why, specially in parkour, he can pull off incredible chains of dynamic high power moves, where most other experienced / pro athletes would barely be able to pull one of the moves in isolation. So, for those that know about it, Johnny rambling on about that when that's literally Toby's superpower is kinda comical. Or people in the comments section thinking it was Johnny's advice what made the send possible.

[@Joel-co3xl]

You didn't say much in this video Hannah - hope you didn't feel out of place! Very cool video though, love Toby and Johnny certainly has some interesting perspectives

[@richieixtar5849]

Second half fantastic too :) Thank you so much for bringing these two together :)

[@forestarcher47]

Is it just me or did anyone else skip thru johnnys stories only to get caught listening to another one 😅

[@didyouknowmore]

It would be cool to see Toby collaborate with Anton Fomenko. They both seem really dedicated to learning moves, and with Anton's background in Ninja Warrior, they could create some amazing stuff together.

[@jacobide3132]

My little group of climbing friends were gifted a Stone Monkey DVD after a lesson we had with Johnny and watching his cometary is easily one of the best ways to spend an evening!! He's such a guenuinelly interesting man. Him saying "I'm not climbing very well at the moment" and then watching him wonder up a V9 was icing on the cake

Johnny seems like one of those guys who can explain something in the most ridiculous way, yet you understand exactly what he means. I wouldn't be surprised if he could do a 30 minute speech of just random noises, and everyone would walk away with a general understanding of what he was waffling about.

[@davidwilson12590]

I'm glad Toby understands what Johnny's talking about because I have no idea what he's saying most of the time 😂

[@nsiepmann]

Yesss part 2

[@PokePond]

He said it in a strange way, but associating complete focus with an imagined smell is genius.

[@yercules]

There are definitely various ways of describing the introspection of flow state. For me, just before I send it, my mind becomes blank and there's probably pre-emptively some adrenaline being released as I feel my focus increase rapidly. I just do it and succeed but have no idea how I did it. The mind is something.

[@Rubafix989]

Pretty nice setup, I'd love to try and make my own routes too

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It’s a lot of fun, and pretty tricky to get right. Route setters are artists, for sure. 🙌

[@janhetjoch]

Do it! You're probably not allowed to bolt holds into the wall at your gym, but maybe there's a kilter/moon/tension board? Or a spraywall? Or even just a part of the wall where there's a lot of problems, just mix and match the holds to make a boulder.

[@fartnloud7411]

Toby might not be at his prime but he's definitely at his peak! IMHO he's the most well-rounder (parkour) athlete, he can just it all. His parkour looks so effortless the last few years. Dom is very explosive and just sends it, Joe is a daredevil and Benj is just so technical and precise. But wolverine here, he's got all that and more in his arsenal.

Feel like Toby could have done step, step, left hand on the red beside the green. Then step up, right hand. And the left hand on red could help him stay closer to the wall before the final jump.

[@kingconcookie]

So has Nathan been forgiven for his betrayal now? 😂 I saw Mike in the climbing hangar and we had a wee chuckle about it (he had nothing but praise for you btw)
