hey

in the ongoing debate over the last like 7, 8 years if flips are efficient or not, there has always been one example of the 'flips are efficient' party, that was if there is a broken window with spikes on the sides, all you can do is dive through and flip afterwards to land on the feet.


go to 1:11 see the guy that simply jumps through feet first and then drops down like 2 meters feet facing the ground.

Me and many other defenders have constantly spoken about that manouvre and now here you got your final video proof.

Now, everyone and their "flips are efficient" shit - eat my ass

much love

lol

this "simple jumps" seems highly inpractical...

more practical than a flip though..

Yeah, well... Actually you CAN use flips in real life:


That guy is awesome.

Yep!
Definitely right, Alopez. Plus, knowing how your body behaves when flipping, twisting etc. helps to gain better control over your moves, I think.
That said, I'm afraid of flips, so I'm staying "straight"

Adding new things to your repertoire never hurts.

But no tricking and parkour seem to be two separate disciplines.
Some group it with freerunning, but I think it has a much different history than either.
