What happened to Domtomato?! 

Dude! Even you are not indestructible, please look after yourself and take the time to recover, we'll all still be here waiting

We can wait for years for u dom! We are not going to leave u! Rest up dom. We are all here for u

I mean a full recovery video would probably be extremely educational, especially for younger people or those newer to parkour. People don't realise just how much you have to take care of your body and how much downtime it needs, especially from high impact activities. The transparency is refreshing and I very much hope that you'll take the time to get back to health because the last thing you want to do is have compound injuries that mean you can't do parkour ever again. Take it from someone who had health stuff remove my capacity for training and competing. Don't take your body for granted or you might end up losing the ability to do the things you love. I also don't think that maintenance as it pertains to parkour is highlighted enough. By maintenance I mean those things you do to make sure you can continue to function to the level you wish too. Anyway, speedy recovery and practise self care.

Big fan Dom. I’m sure that pressure to be pushing yourself is unreal. Take your time and heal up bro. Everyone will be around. Would love to see what you’re up to in recovery.

I'm always interested in recovery/PT especially for top athletes like yourself. Those kinds of exercises always seem like nice baby steps that most anyone could try out and I think they are an underexplored area of improving one's general abilities outside of the more explosive/impressive exercises. I've heard from family and friends that they can also be a way of learning about one's own body and how it works. I'd definitely enjoy a full routine breakdown.

Health is most important. Take care of your health Dom. RU-vid can wait. When your body says stop, you should listen to it. Recover fully and then you can do what you like. Sometimes taking a step back will help you take 4 steps forward.

You know I'm never unsubscribing from this channel, after all the mind-blowing things I've seen you do on here it's the least I can do. Take your time and recover as long as you need to, you'll always have a fan base waiting!

Please be safe and be healthy! That is infinitely more important than sticking so strongly to a video schedule. I'm glad you're on the right track to get better now!

Glad to hear you're taking the time to recover. Like we talked about I've been through that process over the past few years with both my knee and ankle. Nothing worse than that feeling of regret after getting hurt again knowing that you told yourself not to do it. Take your time, rebuild from zero and you'll come back stronger than ever

This is good openess for other athletes. Thank you for not pretending you're invincible (even if it took a while). We're all thrilled by your athleticism, but not at the cost of your health. You have nothing to prove. ❤️

Dom you're a freaking legend. Take care of your body and you'll come back stronger. Do lots of swimming and biking for therapy. But in reality all of the jumps you've already recorded are legendary. You should become a promoter or a coach. You have nothing to prove!

Always look after yourself Dom

Such a shame when the injuries catch up with you. Hope you make recovery and can still enjoy Parkour. You've broken so many barriers in the parkour world your footage is already legendary status. Thank you for all the viewing pleasure!

Thank you for addressing this topic Dom, recovery training is so often overlooked even at the peak level of this sport. Wishing you all the best with your recovery, I have no doubt that you’ll come back stronger and more explosive than ever. Take care, mate!

super proud of you bro. taking care of yourself is tedious but you are worth it. take it slow and come back mad strong

Videos like this are just as valuable as your regular content! Persistent pain from an old injury is something I’m also dealing with and it’s reassuring to hear from someone else facing this. I’d definitely watch more recovery videos, not for the physical therapy details but to hear your mindset throughout.

Take your time as long as it needs to full recovery Dom, we are with you! And I'd be curious to see the process!

My 11yr son put me on to your channel. I'm so happy he did. You, the team and others are so talented and inspiring to watch. I encourage my son to keep his interest in parkour, for the fun, exercise and self confidence it brings him. Thanks for sharing the reality of injuries, ignoring them or not healing them correctly. This generation really looks up to you and they need to see the lows aswell as the tremendous highs. All content you make will not just inspire people to push hard for their passions, but how to look after themselves, when needed. Again thanks for all that you share and continued success both professionally and personally. Love from Melbourne Australia🙏🌏💙

Stay safe and healthy, take your time, that is the most important thing Dom !

Thanks for sharing Dom! I’ve noticed in your more recent vids that you seemed a little more ginger after your landings and almost had a little hobble going on. Thought something might be up! So incredible to watch your journey and see how far the human body can be pushed and what it can endure even when injured. Absolutely incredible. Know you will be 100% again with the right level of recovery. Good on yah for taking the necessary time out!

I love you Dom. This is such an important watch for so many athletes and I totally get the attachment we have with oneself in terms of performance and output... but you gotta do what's right for your body even if that's the hardest. Rehab hard brother, stay patient, and you'll be able to enjoy your life better!

Take care of yourself and your body Dom !! Rest up, recover and heal back to your 100%. We watch you for the precious energy you bring to the videos, too, not just your astonishing athletic prowess !! Keep the videos coming; I love the mentor-apprentice vibes that shine through some of your mentoring videos !!

Wonderfull and down to earth insight into your struggles, would love to see more about the recovery process. Just take you time man, it will all be here for you on the other side!

For sure be more strategic with your recoveries and yes to more videos with in depth training. We love you!❤

I think its super important that people take their health more seriously just as you did in the end. Thanks for sharing this so others can learn to take better care too

Even if one day you don't perform as well as you currently do, let me tell you that you are and will always be great and a great role model for the younger generation. LONG LIVE THE PARKOUR! 🥰👍 #stayhealthyandregenerate

Best wishes for speedy recovery - being 59 years with many years of minor dive rolls and especially football injuries in my ancles, it sucks when you can't train properly

I'm so sorry you're suffering. I appreciate your humility and honesty in sharing the poor decision-making you engaged in along the way. It's heart-breaking. I see the stress and sadness in your face. Hopefully, other athletes will take note and avoid the same outcome. I hope that you make a full recovery with the right treatment. I know it's hard to face the realities of aging and injuries, but caution and care are the way to get the best outcome. I am a long way from an athlete. I am a retired English teacher with a chronic disease (Relapsing Polychondritis) that comes with an ever-changing variety of pains and other bizarre symptoms; I've had to learn to see all plans as conditional--IF my body is up to it, I can do it. I have a LOT of limitations, but, like you, if I ignore or minimize the symptoms, the consequences affect lots of future opportunities. It's rarely worth it. LISTEN UP when your body says, "Not today," so you can be ready for another day. We only get one body. We must prioritize our well-being and give our bodies the care they need to be healthy. Sending you BIG LOVE, Dom.

Oof I am so sorry to hear this! But I also really connect with your story, with mental rather than physical health. Sometimes it is just so exciting to do an activity that you love that even though you know you really shouldn't, that you're ill and doing it will make you worse, it is more or less impossible to resist.

Alot of pro athletes really destroy their bodies during their peak so seeing you perform at the top levels in a sport that is this demanding, taking huge drops and bails while doing it for so many years is really impressive and it would be a shame to see that hinder you in the future. Obviously there's tons of training behind the scenes to be able to take this kinda drops and make these incredible jumps that could lead to permanent injuries if you hadn't gone through the training. Take as much time as possible and then some more for rehabilitation.

Will be here waiting. Please take care. Would love to watch/hear about your recovery!

Dom!! I Hope you recover safely! Huge respect for this video, and for coach dom still pushing the community even on his down days! We are all aware of what you’re capable of and are excited to see what comes of when you’re back to full fitness 💪💪 big up 🔥🔥

You underestimate the value you have as an entertainer overall, yes we all love to be amazed by the crazy sends but you are still a big part of the parkour community and you can put your charisma and talent into many other aspects, hell you could even teach with all the knowledge you have. I wish you a speedy and thorough recovery 🙏we'll be waiting for your ankle to be in top form again no matter how long it takes

Bro if you ever had felt like you must be training besides be injured don't hesitate, we are here for you besides the time it takes. Look at verky! He was half a year off and now we receive him with open arms. Personally your 2021 was for me the peak of parkour performance and also a personal inspiration, it was just the time I started to get into this and looking what dom just did that day was a common habit between friends. You made me a frontflip specialist. Even you commented in a post of a friend called dante and you made him cry. Look at all your accomplishments men you are sick and you can recover strong

inspirational video mate, get a full recovery and you will come back even stronger, just keep coaching the new people getting into the sport. Good luck champ!

I have just stumbled across this channel and from what I have seen so far it looks great. Thales your time to recover fully, but in the mean time you have earned my sub

My mom will be stoked to hear from you! All jokes aside, im glad you are taking the steps to self reflect on recovery seriously. I know with your level of performance there will be big injuries and you arent a genetic freak who can survive it all. I hope you recover quickly and you can get back to doing what you love!

I don't take any of your stunts for granted, it's crazy what you've provided for the parkour/freerunning community in your life. We cannot thank you enough. Take as long of a break as you need 🙏

my Man take care of your body you can rest all year for full recovery and we aint unsubscribing. I understand the urge to do the things you love even when you're injured, but like myself and you we are already in our 30's and our body aint the same way during our younger years.

Please continue uploading on your recovery and strength building!!! This was fascinating to hear from you! Hope you recover with the quickness. MASSIVE LOVE DOMTOMATO!!!

I’m glad you came around to this decision man, I feel its been a long time coming and I hope seriously recovering will give you back your freedom of movement. Also Im not sure how you’re feeling about this but I’ve had to accept that above age 30 now my recovery times are indeed becoming longer and my peak performance is lower and shorter.. I refused to accept that for a long time because I loved to perform at my peak. To me parkour is about constant improvement and I had to let go of that. Strangely enough that was immediately a great decision once I made it. Hope you don’t experience this yet 🙏 stay safe!

Take care, Dom ❤ you’re a legend and we are all following the recovery journey

Dom, I just wanted to say we are here and not going anywhere. Thank you for FINALLY taking care of yourself, you are very important to so many people. You as a person as much you as an athlete. As a trainer and mentor to young athletes, it's so so important they see these types of videos, they know your process. I think it would be great to share your routine but just to share your thoughts openly and honestly like this is great. Would love to see videos like this more often from you because you are such a passionate and eloquent speaker. A true pillar of the community and ambassador for the sport. Please remember some people are here for the jumps, but those of us who are here for the long haul are here for you.

Great to see! Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes - always valuable to learn from the lessons of some of the most experienced athletes in the game. Thanks Dom! 🙏 Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Anyone feel like dom is literally explaining your life in the same or similar situation? Hit deep. Speedy recovery my guy

I have to say that you DOM are the best Parkour Athlete I've ever seen, I used to do a lot of parkour when I was younger but when I severed my MCL and later damn near shattered my right ankle I had to stop to be able to at least make a living for myself. Always follow your heart but don't let that get in the way of recovery. Treat yourself kindly and as much as it hurts not to do what you love, the sacrifice of time to enable you to do these things IS necessary. I cannot wait to see your flow again, rest up and follow your dream 🙏

Yo - a complete video of your recovery would be awesome! I fully dislocated my ankle 2 months ago (the thing was bent sideways and I needed to go under to get it put back) so I’d be stoked to see how your rehabbing your ankle for parkour! :) cheers mate 😊

Well bro I've been following you for a while and I hope that you take it easy just to be safe and not end some of your carrier but Ill be praying for your fast recovery and hoping for the best! Your really big inspiration and keep up the good work!

First of all, We like to see fully recovered and 100% healthy Dom, then crazy stuff, keep going and take care of yourself Dom🍅🔥

Dom we all love you and what you do. Please take as much time as you need to recover and stay healthy. We aren't going anywhere

Get well soon dom. I'd love a rehab video. I'm also recovering from an ankle injury and knowing in detail what you do could help. Appreciate it bro

Honestly, this is one of the best updates I could have heard, take your time off, take months, even a year off, I love to see you working on your craft and I would love to be able to see that for years to come, hopefully your physiotherapy will get you back in prime shape. Thanks for all the amazing stuff you've shown us through the years, excited to see you back out there.

Respect Dom. Im surprised you still even have ankles with all the insane shit you've been up to over the last few years 😎 Looking forward to your recovery and return to jumping. Would be sweet to see your whole recover routine. Take care

Dom, i've always seen you like a professional athlete whos big part of success is deep knowledge in sport science, everything like this will be really interesting for a lot of your viewers! Good luck for recovery, take your time!

Definitely post videos about your recovery. It's valuable and interesting. It could really help other athletes out, not just in case they are in need of recovery but also to help them possibly avoid prolonging their injuries in the first place.

Glad to hear you’re working through it Dom. I’m on my own journey of regaining dorsiflexion after ripping my ankle apart. I’d love to see your routine to compare against what I’ve been doing. It’s such a long road, but unreal to see your progress already 🙌

Mereces un descanso Dom. No hay ningún problema en que subas entrenamientos de menor impacto o menos ''sorprendentes'' para los espectadores que no conocen la complejidad de cada movimiento. Es más importante ser fuerte para poder ser útil y que sigas divirtiéndote con la comunidad de cada país al que viajas, lo más importante es que te sientas cómodo y puedas entrenar por muchos años más... Me imagino todos esos meses que debiste cargar con el dolor 😔 tómate tu tiempo Dom, seguramente aprendes mucho de ti y de otros en esta etapa de recuperación, e incluso podrías descubrir nuevos movimientos. Sigue inspirando a las generaciones ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

Was wondering where you’d gone. Glad you’re in recovery eventually though. A good lesson for the young guns here, “rest up and get help when needed, not when you eventually can’t do anything” Say hi to your mum for me 😉

speedy recovery🤟🏼 hope you come back stronger than ever! and yes, thanks for keeping us updated on what has happened in the past year 🙌🏼

Man I thought u were gonna say it's all over! I am so glad to know u will b back. All the best in your recovery

Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. You're such a big personality, full of enthusiasm and love. We will be here whether you're flipping off buildings or not.

Dude take your time and recover! I'm about your same age and trying to get over an ankle injury myself - I'd love to see the break down of your recovery routine!

Dom, you are a living legend, and like all legends, you need to take care of yourself. I had an injury to my right foot in 2020, right at the beginning of the p4ndemic. I was at my peak, training every day and dedicating myself completely to parkour, until I made a mistake that left me with a sequel to this day. I was training in the garage at home, I had just warmed up my upper body, I don't know why, but I completely forgot to warm up my legs and feet. I went to do that front of the beginning of training to warm up, and when I landed, I felt the greatest pain of my life. My right big toe simply twisted until it touched the top of my foot, and I almost broke the tendon. I stayed in bed for 4 months, unable to walk, I remember that my finger started to spasm and it was torture, any movement, no matter how small it was, I felt a VERY sharp pain. I literally stalled everything, the channel, my progress with training, I felt a huge void for not doing what was the most important thing for me. After 4 months in bed, I came back little by little, and decided to record a video for instagram (after a long time) and then, a few minutes later I received the notification that you had liked my video. Besides making me extremely happy and honored, it also made me sure that I was doing the right thing, never giving up on my dreams. That's why I admire you so FUCKING Dom, you are one of the reasons I never give up on a challenge, your courage and determination is something out of the ordinary. That's why I say, YOU GET OVER IT BROTHER, respect your limits, and stay calm, because all those who admire you will be with you on this one. 🍅🤟🏻🔥🔥

Wise words from Coach Dom

Love these backgrounders about how you train, especially recovery from injuries large and small!

Bruh that ankle!!!😲 I'd love to see the rehab exercises! Love your work, you are a true legend!🏆

I would love a full breakdown of your recovery exercises! ☺ Good luck with your ankles mate!

Thanks for sharing G much love as always from Denver!!

Always a legend. Time to teach and grow the life style internationally. Preserve your body. I was worried about your head when you jumped from the over pass. Wow that neck injury you have sacrificed so much.

Hey! I've been struggling since 2 years with an injury and I finally took what was needed for it to heal (surgery). I am recovering rn. It hurts seing you hurt and pushing it because I experienced it and it's hard... Mentally draining to feel hurt after every training, like what I want to have in mind is the good part of the training, what I was able to do, the good feelings, but all that was superset by knowing I hurt my ankle again... Scared of my left ankle, even when walking, on every landing, thinking about it. I'm with you, take your time to recover. Do it for you

You're the man Dom. Always looked up to you as a young traceur from Canberra. Don't get around parkour anymore, I play basketball, rock climb and hike. But we're getting older man. I'm almost 32, I'm fit and strong, I've never stopped being stupidly active. Like you, it's so hard for me to stop when my body needs to stop. But whenever I take the time to truly rest and recover, stretch, take load off the joints, I feel bulletproof again. You're not 21 anymore. Spacing things out and taking time to recover properly will mean you can keep doing it for decades. The more you push through the pain, the quicker you'll take yourself out of the game for good. All the best bro.

Thank you for telling all about it, Dom! Your story shows how important it is not to neglect proper rehabilitation, and ultimately your body. Which, as in your case, can literally be a working tool. This is a very mature and responsible video, which I hope will make many younger viewers realise how important these things are. You are the best! ps. Now that you know which parts of your body have suffered the most over the years, I encourage you to incorporate some degree of rehabilitation exercises into your regular training. They are literally your 'Achilles' heel' so it's worthwhile to strengthen them further. And yes, I'll ask for a full breakdown of your rehabilitation routine😊

You could do a series going through the reality of recovery or a recovery journey, keeps people watching and a lot of people starting parkour don't realise that recovery from inevitable injuries is a part of it or think they are indestructible

I feel you Dom, You got some tough ankles, I nearly snapped my right midfoot tendon while doing a simple side, needed surgery and now just taking it easy hoping it will heal within time for me to get back out there during summer. Thank you for this kind of video! Inspiriting me to get back on my feet the proper way. (some exercises to get my ankles warmed up would be nice too, atleast when I'm no longer non weight bearing!) Thanks Dom!

Love ya dude!! Keep doing you bro! Take that much needed time! Your community it here waiting for ya! Absolutely no pressure. You have already given us so much!! ❤

Take your time man. Heal up. The days you spend working on this now will give you years in the future. I am also 100% here for recovery content haha. I am actually curious what you're doing. I've been having some ankle issues (from running mostly) and might benefit from more tips on ankle strengthening stuff anyway.

I hope you're able to make it back to full comfortability and confidence. Love your videos man! Best of luck

Respect for the honesty man. Great to hear you're focusing on recovery and I'm always impressed at how much you gas up and support others.

So happy to see you taking care of yourself! This is important for all in the sport to see. Take as much time as you need.

Dom, I think it's great you explain your injuries and how they have been difficult to manage. I'm glad you decided to take it easy and work on recovery. Documenting your recovery process and exercises would be very educational to young parkour trainees and encourage you to do this.

It's super impressive to see how much tolerance for pain you have and how mentally strong you are. There is definitely a lot of value in that. That being said, look after you self bro. I'll be bugging you for recovery tips the next time our paths cross

Thank's Dom. Thanks for the up date! Take your time! With All you need!

Hi Dom, Thank you soo much for this video, not for me but for all the people whor are not realising what's behind the scene. I'm also this kind of person working with my body (I'm a circus artist) (yeah, real full time job) and I know how hard it is to deal with injury when you love what you do. I'm 37 now and a ankle and a knee to that reliable than couple of years ago... starting acceptation... But really thank you to show the reality of an injury, thank you to show that behind "Strong-Dom-Fast-Recovery" reality is not that confortable... your are a example for a lot of people and showing your vulnerability is the best way to prove you're a whole and authentic person... and to give another picture to young people, especially boys, that no, you don't have to be the strongest, the painless the whatever to be someone... Thank you, take care of you !

We love you Dom! Don’t worry I’m going nowhere! Yeah you’re amazingly talented but you’re also a genuine guy. Love you mate, get well soon we’re all rooting for you xx

This was a real reality check for how I’ve been dealing with my injury; thanks Dom.

Definitely do a video about your recovery I would love to watch that! :)

Thank you so much for the great videos. Wishing you a smooth recovery.

You are a great inspiration to us all. To be honest, I thought you were superhuman 🤗 but now you are showing your human side and how much work and patience it takes to recover. Yes, please show us what you had to endure to recover from your injury. I love you! 🤗💖😘

It'd be nice to show a bit of rehab in some videos, it's always very helpful, humbling and inspiring to see parts of all the process/session... Have a good one!

Great insight into behind the scenes, recovery vids would be good! hope it heals up ok dude!

Full video breakdown would be sweet. Glad you're recovering well! Could use the recovery to think about future alternate revenue streams that are PK adjacent. Building that now in your prime will make the transition seamless and less scary. Idea 1. Start production company that makes profit from clients and essentially means free production and less editing time for yourself. Idea 2. For another day.

Would love a PT/Recovery video mate. Hope you start feeling yourself again soon!

I struggle myself with ankle flexibility and I always thought it might have to do something with repeated injuries and not landing properly, scar tissue forming because of it etc... my left knee doesn't go over the toes period. Hearing you having the same issues sort of confirms that for me so I was glad to understand the source of that problem. I wish you the best in your rehab, let's get ourselves some dorsiflexion back! And I for one whould absolutely love to see your recovery program! I have searched before about it but I haven't found anything relating exactly to what you described and what I feel.

get better man. Also, massive YES to the recovery routine video. And to the stretching and flexibility video that is absolutely necessary considering your background. Now that you've got time to do it :p

Recover right and come back strong 🙏🏼. I’m on recovery mode too rn so I feel your pain of having to actually work on getting back the right way instead of bouncing back easily from an injury like before

Wish you Godspeed recovery G, looking forward to seeing you push the sport again!

Great share Dom. Appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. It can be difficult when an injury gets in the way of doing what you're most known for and love doing. You are an incredible parkour athlete, and have become an inspiration to so many. Take the time you need, we only get 1 body in this life. Also, know that you are so much more than just a parkour athlete.

Thenk you for being you! Take care, and don't rush recovery, especially not for youtube or social media. We love you!

Yes, I would love to see what exercises you do for the ankle as I recently broke mine and want to eventually do flips again.

We can wait for you ma boy! Rest and recover yourself well no need to rush! Much power for you crazy lad!❤🎉🇦🇷
