Parkour Experts Try to Keep Up With Gymnasts | SELF 

SELF omg ice hockey players?

SELF hockey players. I’m not only a former gymnast but I’m also a former figure skater xd 😂

Figure skater and Roller skaters !!!!

Roller skaters??

Derby rollars!

@@wolfgangkranek376 I dont know if i should trust that link you got there

@@zaide5897 Basically always good to be careful. But that's only a youtube video. Do as you like...

I also loved the way two of those guys were being especially good sports, with those graceful movements executed with a delightful amount of cheekiness. cute people :')

Or basic knowledge so you don’t injure yourself?

@@QT_Jeanne yeah but if you don't have the background knowledge to know what to ask you won't ask for specifics like they did, you'd likely ask them to repeat the first instructions and not go as targeted

@@mikiwilliams4133 If you are running fast and handspring after you can easily break your arms if you didn’t do it right thus you are left to ask for every detail to avoid injuries, no need for background knowledge. Heck, even the girl informed them about how you extended your arms before they even asked, so just as I said, basic knowledge to avoid injuries.

@@QT_Jeanne as someone who doesn’t perform handsprings, vault or cartwheel as most office employees, I’d say not basic knowledge.

...and is still rlly good 👀

Ikr

How the heck does he do that?!

*Skinny jeans. Basically leggings

Bernard Soul skinny jeans are even worse. Leggings are stretchy and jeans aren’t. Are you talking about jeggings??

🤣🤣🤣

'I'm a three-toed sloth!'

Hahaha right?? I was thinking the same thing!

Crane form 🤣

I'm a Spider 🕷

What a beautiful a analogy

i know right?? just become jesus if you do both.

k a r s

Do you know the step up films? There is a film where hip hop and Ballette dancers dance together and it reminds me a lot of that

I feel like Mike could check both of those boxes pretty easily

Wait I can do parkour and gymnastics! I think I might actually be an alien lizard person!!

I had to break it, there was no reply

2:02

For real

Heavensu Dooaaaaah

_thisconnected_ it would be harder to learn but then again in the end when you’ve mastered both and learn when to go soft and agile or when to be loose and heavy hitting it will be an advantage cause you’d be able to perform all different types of tricks and understand how to move in your environment

​@@_thisconnected_ I did both of them for a long time and unless your going for highly competitive gymnastics you can easily mix both of them. It might not be strictly parkour or gymnastics but you make it your own mix. I used to do outdoor parkour but would put some gymnast flair to my moves and did beam routines outside on walls.

That’s kind of what I did. I’m more of a parkourist than a gymnast though, but yeah it’s really fun.

@@honeylilies1 omg nctzennnnn

And contortion

And I used to do parkour and know how hard that is. With our Orozco powers combined we could do whatever you could do in gymnastics because I sucked at parkour lol. Anyway, be well.

thank yoooou!!! this was one of the most fun days of my life!

I remember when I did gymnastics when I was 9❤️

It made me cry of jealousy at how easy it is for them on their FIRST try, I am 13 yrs old, I am still stuck at that exact level and I'm not sowing ANY sign of improvement, how can it be so easy for them, it isn't fair, please, someone HELP ME, even my 10 yr old brother is better than me, there is a literal 7 yr old in my group that is better than me, why am I so bad at this, and recently I haven't been able to go to practice and they're learning so much stuff without me and getting so much better and some of them skip practice all the time and still get good places in competitions, I have no friends there, they're all friends with each other, why, how, I don't understand, and I'm too afraid to atempt to do a back flip and many other girls in my group can allredy do rondade+double back flips, and how am I meant to catch up, I love and hate gymnastics, I've been doing since I was four, I've done 4 competitions in the past, once I even got 3rd place, why can't I do this anymore, 4 years ago I could allready do half of the stuff I am learning today, and the other halth is impossible and next year I'm stuck with the same group and the same coach and right now they're allready practicing the things we need in next year's competition and I can't even do this year's stuff well, help, help, at 8yrs old I had moree flexibility than now, please, someone, tell me what to do, my mum doesn't want me to stop gymnastics beceause she thinks I just want to go the easy way, and that even if I DID want to stop gymnastics, I would have to do one last competition, and when I finaly stop I have to do another sport, and next year I'm starting exams, and I don't know what sport I want, and I realy don't know what to do

Hahaha yeah

Wow I just commented the same thing lol

I literally just said that

scrolled just for this 🤦‍♂️🔥😅 7:58

Was wondering if anyone commented on the Naruto run.🤣

Parkour!parkour! Parkour!

😂😂

Exactly.

Sanidhya Joshi you’re not funny just a bit of a nan joke

Giggled because of Harry Dresden ^^

for real!! his uneven bars routine was really solid

Yes his uneven bars looks natural to me

RIGHT. I was so impressed with his form, especially! Especially staying mostly laid out on the vault. 😱

and hes really likeable.

@@brillsmith2207 he's just pumped to try something new. I hope he actually takes up gymnastics, I think he'd be awesome!

And i'm a nut in a nutshell, and yes I wanna see this too

😂

😆🙌

Same

ugh underrated

While you were busy studying parkour and gymnastics, I studied the blade!... I am only ⅓ ninja :(

Check out Anton Fomenko 😊

I wish i know kickboxing and ballet at the same time

@@vitorlunkes i know kickboxing and gymnastics but i stopped doing them (im starting do it again

He was the only one to not land it and they all cheer

Parkour people in a nutshell

AHAHAHJAHAHA so good

@It-Gamer zone

*dying

I really did try!

@@JTGallant you're so sweet and so handsome

Oh rubbish. Plenty of men dance. I'm a woman but I've never felt comfortable doing anything like dancing or drama in front of people. Why do you have to turn things into 'trauma' when it's just different personalities and affects both genders the same?

@@cyflym11 girlie that’s your experience, others have it different. There are different cultures and different gender roles that don’t make sense in a lot of places and boys not dancing or showing flair is a common one in a lot of places.

@@a.blackwater3076 And the other posters haven't made assumptions? They have said that men are ridiculed and 'traumatised' for dancing, they didn't qualify it by saying 'in some cultures' or 'in my experience'. I'm not allowed to have an opinion but they are? Perhaps I don't fit the woke victim narrative well enough. There are famous male dancers, figure skaters etc in all countries, that is a fact. In some other cultures and religions women are not allowed to dance. Do you feel their 'trauma' too?

I agree with you! I am very happy these guys took it seriously and weren't really uncomfortable at all! It really highlights the differences in the two disciplines and I'm glad the guys didn't dismiss it all as a feminine thing, they respected it like a sport and treated it seriously!

I can't walk up or down the stairs they are royalty before they tried this compared to me

Her neat little jump with a foot change was amazing. Any person off the street would break an ankle trying that. They did quite well.

It's not that difficult. I am a gymnast my self and all you have to do is to force yourself. SiMpLe

Ditto 🤣😂🤣

Brah. Same. No shame.

I know, I love how beautiful that is

It’s the reverse when the gymnasts do parkour! Gymnasts use way more force while the parkour dudes practically floated.

Parkour is more practical.

Arka Ghosh uh well like depends since you don’t go around jumping onto roofs on a daily basis lmao

@@viola4825 parkour isn't just about jumping across roofs. It is basically moving through the environment, be it on flat ground, be it on elevated ground.

Me as the control: runs up to the vault, looks at it dubiously, and runs away

They will probably break their neck

Hahahaha 🤣

Hmm, omoshiroi

My first thought was NARUTO

Llama Drama lol, same, NARUTO!!!

YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED MY THOUGHT PROCESS RUNNING UP TO THAT SPRINGBOARD LOL

You are correct

*Totally*

It was pretty awesome though, and made me smile

@@calisouthqueen You are correct

Same

I think it's probably an instinct for him after probably going through narrow spaces most of his time doing parkour. It's quite scary and painful if you get grazed just because you didn't have enough space.

@@keithou4389 While this is a pretty cool take, I can full on assure you I was Naruto running on purpose xD specifically for the hype.

@@JTGallant oh rah it’s the parkour dude

@@JTGallant I love how not seriously you took that aspect of gymnastics. Like you put so much fun into it. It would have also been cool to see you try to do the whole graceful thing. But it really made me think about how aesthetic plays into gymnastics because you also put it in your movements. Just not graceful swan aesthetic but like fun pop culture aesthetic instead. It was great!

Nivea cream all day

exercise/movement everyday does wonders for your skin.

9:39 😅

I read this comment and then looked back at the video right as it happened :)

7:58

As i suspected

Guys are always cool ,, it's the girl who are mad

Parkour is Always taking risks with skillz

The techniques they learn would help them do parkour better so why not

@@madrish7226 🙄🙄

ktj b true true

I was looking for this comment. I knew I wasn't the only one who saw him do that.

Immediately go to the comments to find it. Naruto Run rules

i feared for their necks!!!

Pretty cringe to unironically Naruto run as an adult. You'd have to be in absolute fantasy land.

That's Sonic the Hedgehog you uncultured swine!

Same (💜💜💜)

Literally threw my back out getting out of bed last week. 😂

We have do to this p.e. class 😂

Literally ME

Big mood

😂😂😂 that’s amazing!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I JUST DIED RN. Officially

Lol I was just gonna post the naruto run

LMFAO

In vault

I had to Google "naruto running" lol 🤣 #oldpeople

@@MrsShocoTaco ok boomer

I'm thinking green shirts did gymnastics before

@@christiandoodles yeah or he might just have a "gift"' for that type of stuff... but they might of had access to the gym and he just asked to "mess around" with the bars and spring board or w.e

@@_blank-_ Yes! He's muscular with a gorgeous, thicc butt 😋

Totally agree. He can be both a gymnast a parkour person.

He’s pretty cute too 😂

Yessssss!!!!

@@DayglowJanelle Noooo!!!!

He was clearly above the rest until they got to the balance beam. The guy in the grey shirt was better at balancing than him.

Lol, yep!!

San-Zan Gorn yessssss

Jennifer Sturbaum the parkour professionals are not actual professionals. Me and my friends are even better than the gymnasts and parkour "professionals"

@@mcdman8763 omg shut up. Why do people always have to try and show how much better they are in the comments 🤦🏼‍♀️. I doubt you do it for a living (*they do*).

@@mcdman8763 Ok boomer

MC Dman wow! No one cares, their out there doing what they do and you’re hating in RU-vid’s comments

@@saskiadenboer3239 true, but just look at the parkour channel STORROR and you will quickly see what actual professionals (they are working parcourists i would title them as) are capable of.

😌☺️

harlow yes

Johnny Tsunami! 🌊❄

This please

And sandboarding

Ooh that would be cool

jlhabitan50 i’d like to see that, all my PE teachers were in the worst shape posible yet they yelled at us to run smh

@@THESMOSHTIME Exactly! This would be too funny. I want to see dodgeball too.

Those fat guys telling you that your lazy if you run too slowly? That are _really_ out of shape?? God I'm going to laugh so much😂

I know right?? Our gym floor is uneven so the beam shakes like CRAZY and I'm the loser because I can't even stand on it...I HATE the beam...but our PE teacher is obsessed with basketball and gymnastics stuff...

@@user-jo8yb4uf7e That's extremely dangerous.

Lmao, they took it VERY seriously

*Naruto Runs **7:58*

I wasn't suprised coz this is a technical skill and those guys are competetitive against each other...

Parkour*jumps* Parkour*jumps one something different*

HARD CORE PARKOUR

PARKOUR *Andy jumps into fridge box*

PARKOUR!

Alyssa Bowen me too! "With point A being delusion and point B being the hospital."

/me- im a hip hop artist and hate classical music, no hate, just my opinion

nuttin but stringz

Celeste Flips Just like classical music 🤓

I need a video on that

XRay you should be open to classical music. It could help add interest or spice up your music adopting classical instruments and classical motifs.

Lol this is really funny

ROTFL 🤣

Your comment reminds me of PK

@@JibzCastor who is pk?

Lol

Parkourists after one round of uneven bars: “TF IS THIS?!”

Hahaahhaha 😭

Matt not needed for the basics, lol.

Lol You had me dying

DANIxDANGER She says, “that was better than mine” whether it was or not, super dope of her to say that.

I know

@@nekograce7914 way late response I think she said that because on the first bar he was more fluid and got up in what seemed to be a single movement and the dismount seemed to be the same for both

Maybe bc he did a different type of gymnastics

Por cierto Mike pronunció bien Mamon su apellido.. ARAUJO..Arujo..🤪🤪

lmao

lmao

lmao

LMAOO

I’m wheezing please

I agree! Also this contrast is what makes freerunners who focus on the flow and grace even more impressive.

Pun intended?

Why don't they make a video on gymnasts performing Parkour and compare them..... Both of them are specialized for different things... They are different sports. It's like comparing cricket and baseball

@@black__ship they did make that video actually. This is a 2 part series.

Na they make sure they are safe too, but in a graceful way

flow

"Obstical" radical spelling bro

@@carp3t in fact gymnastics are physical principles applied to the body, parkour experts also do gymstastics to master their movements

carpetsushi Not to look „pretty“ but to show control of what your body is doing.

yes please

i think that would be a good idea but a good chunk of gymnastics is ballet. when i was in the sport, we had a full day a week dedicated to learning ballet. ..

@@sophiaortiz4032 yeah, but that's only a full day a week. Where I go to ballet class, I'm only level 3 this semester and we have 3 hour and a half classes and one 30 minute special class for stage presence. The older girls/boys have class almost every day of the week. Ballet and gymnastics are pretty related I guess, but they also have specific things that make them different.

Omg yes - since they teach differently it would be interesting to see them do they same stuff

YEEEEEES

My God... you are so right.

But definitely not the Sheldon

Lol he's more like Keith irl

Chris Whyte omg he looks like keith lmaoo

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ikr. He was my favorite

Yeah totally !!!

lxn yes and I love how he just goes for it and it shows in how he does each challenge

I was thinking the same thing! Super kind guy. I was so annoyed when that handspring vault gymnast was telling him he needed more speed when he was clearly trying to get a feel for the apparatus.

I know, he was so optimistic! Also just so you know, they said his name was Mike 😁

James Wert he really had flawless technique he doesn’t just look like a bulldozer

Fr, but humbly!! And He’s really handsome too :p

Yeah. He was actually really good for doing it the first time

Amen brotha

@@ZeddisDead Hey sorry to ask you so late but what is "Amen"? i see people say it everywhere but I haven't heard it anywhere else. sorry to bother

I agree.

@@deepknight930 it means "let it be"

yes and the girls are really great teachers too

CHA

Dude I saw your comment when he said it in the video lol

me after the teacher is done explaining somewthing

Alex Jacobsen that would be AWESOME

yas and have the parkour experts be girls

MissesKitty OMG I was gonna say that then I checked the replies and you had already said it lol 👏👏

@zenubi that's fair lmao but I mean as in like... They both have to be extremely strong and agile so I'd like to see how fast male ballet dancers could pick up on some parkour stuff (if at all I guess lol)

Agreed.

The guys with larger build struggle, you have to be lean in gymnastics

LMAO 🤓 😙

@@ecor150 I don't know- Mike is MASSIVE and did the best. He was a beast- kind of a happy, puppy of a beast.

lmao

Dead😂😩

Reading your comment before watching the video made it so much funnier 😂😂

Best comment yet

Why does this only have 5 comments including me?

gotta get that momentum

I saw someone run like that in competition 🤣🤣 she was very little, but still it was so cute and really hilarious 😂😂😂

He really did!🤣

the likes are at 666

Mack Smith he still can. He has a solid experience in flips and parkour tricks anyways he just needs that form and flexibility

But he prefers parkour.

3playLP True but we're just talking possibilities

I’d like to see him try more of the men’s gymnastics, like the pommel horse, still rings and horizontal bars. I bet they would enjoy it more also if they took out some of the flourishing that you see in women’s gymnastics.

he has seems to really enjoy gymnastics, he could do both :)

Vault probably had the most in line with their parkour skill set though. They all did the best at it easily though.

and their wrists!

I know they were going so low, practically rolling

I stg one of their wrists (or both) along with their neck was going to break 😂 like I got major anxiety when they were doing vault 😂

i was so worried for them because of the way they kept bending their arms and trying to roll with it and their heads and spines would get so close to smacking it, which does really hurt

With the shorts, right?? He was AMAZING! I can't get over how good he was. A couple weeks practicing to discipline his movements and he'd look like he'd been doing it his whole life!!!!

@@jillmtompkins I mean... these were pretty basic skills for gymnastics. Nothing that difficult

@@WAGgymSuperFan sure, that's understandable, but they're saying that if he put his mind towards gymnastics practice - either in conjunction with or instead of - his parkour experience, then he might have enough raw talent & learned experience to perform as well as some advanced gymnasts. those might be basic moves but if he's performing that well at the foundational level, then he likely wouldn't need more than a few months to a couple of years to master higher gymnastics elements. i think that'd be amazing to see!

Ahahahahaha

Lmao!!

Nope, I can't even do that. :| Respect for both sports!
