Im sry, but a lot of you flips looked out of control. On your tucks make sure that you pull your knees closer to your chest so you are in more of a ball shape.
On your fulls you begin to spin before you even leave the object, that is very dangerous and not controlled. So of your jumps looked a bit sketchy, meaning
your landings could use some work (stay on the balls of your feet, make sure to aviod to much pressure on your spin, so roll from one should to opposing hip,
etc); Now on to the good stuff. Your double legs looked good, the very first running precision was excellent; your basic vaults looked pretty established. Keep
up the hard training and stay safe!

No offense man, but I got bored. The tempo of the video was just too slow and there wasn't anything in there that kept me watching past 4.00.
What I saw looked good though, keep up the good work, and progress. Good luck, train safe. _Con_

I think your ego is creeping out again. there is alot to learn from this video just like CrazyRican158 said, and jus like con0692 i too did not watch past the
4 min mark. to me it seemed as if you were big'n yourself up too much. I think if you cut all random clip's of you and things like tht it would make a
nice lil vid.

stop flipping from hieght there is no need to jump between roofs especialy with landings like that.. im not expert on flips but yeah some of them looked
dangrous. Work on technique more some clips needed cutting down abit. But you have good potential keep trianing dude

You scared me with some of your flips and landings. Some of the stuff I saw was impressive but I think you need work some fundamentals abit more. Otherwise
fine, great, but it did seem like a bit of an ego trip though as mentioned above..

Wallflip at the start was really sketchy, I'd practice those a bit if I were you. I got the impression you have a bit of an ego as well, the topless staff
spinning seemed really unnecessary, it went on for far too long. I didn't get past 4 minutes either, some of what I saw was good, but you should try a more
lively edit, it's a lot more interesting to watch.
This is about to get real sweet real fast!

I gave up after about 20 seconds. From what i saw, it looked promising, but the editing was horrendous.

Ok, so I did watch your whole video. You have a serious amount of potential. You're also fairly arrogant. The shirtless staff spinning, was pointless.
Personally I didn't mind your shirtlessness too much
 , but it was seriously irrelevant. I know pretty much nothing about flips except this: tuck... TUCK
like you mean it. Do that and those front flips you were trying at the end will come easy to you; you'll also have much more control over your other flips.
Now, I get what you were trying to do with the shots of the graffiti and stuff, and from an artist's stand point, I liked that. But, because you didn't
hold that theme throughout the entire thing, it was kind of a lost cause. That, and most of the people on this forum want good editing, but they don't care
too much for a lot of artsy stuff when it comes to videos. You put this vid up to showcase your parkour, so show them your vision through your parkour. Lastly,
it was seriously long. Maybe cut it to two vids next time, and cut all the pointless crap like you just standing around and stuff. I can seee with some of the
clips you might have been trying to make a point, like you were focusing or something, but that's a message you can portray through your pk, we don't
need to see you staring at something to make us think you're focused.
You have a lot of potential, so keep training hard and working your problem areas. I'd love to see what you could do in another year after a lot of hard work. Oh, and watch some of the better, more skilled practitioner's vids and get some inspiration on what makes a good edit. Good luck.

It doesn't have to be the most amazing edit, just take the start for instance. It's 13 seconds before anything happens, you could easily just shave
that part off.
Plus spinning staffs aren't really freerunning. If you do want to show off your staff spinning skills then stick it in a seperate vid and post it on the underground. |
