Making a jump without sticking it is like: - a basketball player making a basket, but after it awkwardly bounces off the rim - a goal keeper saving a penalty, with their face - a skateboarder landing a trick with a hand on the ground - a chef cracking an egg into a pan and getting a bit of eggshell in it - opening a packet of crisps upside down - leaving the house without shoes on - forgetting your own birthday - I dont know what I'm going on about - I hope nobody is actually reading this

Thanks a lot for the big shoutout! Sticks can be overrated but also underrated at the same. You made a good coverage about what goes behind the jumps. Keep smashing these incredible vids

Imagine if Dom stuck the Kong front That would have been straight up hilarious

"It's hard to put it into words." Immediately puts it into words

One thing that might seem obvious but went unmentioned is what people told me when I first started training - that sticking is actually harder for the knees if you don't have the proper technique. I'm not an expert and the friendly pk community from my neighborhood neither, but I feel like that's a good tipp for people starting out. Obviously it doesn't feel as rewarding, but just carrying on with the momentum sometimes instead of attempting to stick everything just for the sake of it might prevent your knees some stress & pain...which is positive no matter how young your knees are haha

I agree with Jimmy. I've always thought Benj's sticks were the prettiest in Storror, but Callum's are the most technical and proper. There's just something about Benj's style that makes things look so effortless and flowy.

I’m a proud stick addict

So sticking a jump is like when you accidentally draw a perfect circle

Stick is addicting, because once you stuck a hard jump, you'll feel a feeling of ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't explain what's this feeling, but its the greatest feeling ever 😂

New goal in life, do something badass enough for Jimmythegiant to mention me by name. Keep up the great work!

Something you didn't mention was gymnastics (some one else did). You get more points for landing properly. Sticking a landing is like fully completing a jump.

hey Jimmy the best stick of 2019 in the storror award was a cosmin tic tac in Madrid, not Marcio ;)

Dude I love your videos so much, as an athlete that has spent almost 3 years in injury recovery your content really brings me back to the feelings of training

I just stuck the challenge I had in my head for 1 year. I come home and this video appears lol

I love the little training session you showed as you learned the little details to improve and perfect your stick. Really insightful and interesting!

@4:10 "if I don't get this first try"... cuts to next clip ... "ooooooooh lets go baby!!!"

Best tip I ever got for sticking was basically stack your spine. Most ppl round their spines and the momentum goes all over the place. You kinda have to keep your center of gravity low in your pelvis for a good stick. The easiest way to get ppl to do it is to tell them to face their collar bones forward on the landing, not down. They can bend their necks to look at the landing spot, or glance down over their noses, but they mustn't bend over to see it. So I usually go with that and what I like to phrase as "hulk abs" - kinda contracting the entire core on impact so that the lower back doesn't end up doing all the work while the pelvis rotates in because of the unbalance. Getting it right doesn't take all that much work when you have a little help, but it makes such a huge difference in your control when you train. Plus it does feel awesome 😋

Loved the little mention of kendama, its so much fun playing. The feeling of perfectly executing a set of movements after trying for a long time is so satisfying

1:35 when the fuck will Callum Powell come in any of Jimmy's video 😂, justice for Callum😅

very interesting ! thx for the stick tips !

Let's goooooo 101K Jimmy!!!! You deserve it, one of my favourite channels

I love ur videos so much! Congrats on 100k!

I’m loving it! 👊 Always look forward to a new video from the JTG Congratulations on the 100k 🥳🎉🎉

Love your videos I even take time out of class to sit my students down and make them watch a video like this to expose and educate them to parkour and the community. Thank you for making them student friendly even if that isn't completely on purpose.

This video has actually massively helped me out. I've always struggled with precisions

Your content is great - I don’t free run but really the videos and this is a great explanation

i had this same issue, back when i started training, 2007-2010, no one really cared about technique or in this case, sticking as that technique wasnt really fully developed it lead to training bad habbits when it comes to pre's. still the sport is always evolving and always changing

love the videos. you touchdown on the hidden bits of parkour.

Congratulations on 100K dude big milestone too achieve 💯

Wasn't expecting to see kendama in here but a very welcome suprise!!

Congrats on 100k!

This video made me realize... how different it is to see your posture on film, vs when you're just feeling it out on your own. Great stuff, catch you in the next one. :)

Good squat form nets good sticks. Gotta sit back into that landing

Its like boxing, just doing a running pre is like landing a punch, but a perfect stick is like the knockout

Thank you, Jimmy!

jimmy a tip for your sticks : imagine you are catching the object you are landing on with your body.. if that makes sense lol. from what i can see most people fully extend their bodies just before landing and are leaning very slightly back towards where they jumped from. as soon as you feel your feet touch you gradually tense your body up as you are letting the force of the impact come back through your body into your hands, where you throw it forward..

Thank you!

When you don’t stick the jump but you have to stick it to live

Congratulations on 100k

Y’all be landing crazy jumps while I can’t even land a 5 foot fall

Great video :D. Interesting as always

watching them stick the bar jump made a wave of relaxation hit me

Only been watching parkour fr a few weeks. Your vids totally help me understand it more. Cheers. ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Congrats on 100K WOOOOOOO

Great vid as per usual 🤘

Congrats for 100 k

what a great video as always

congrats on 100k! I’m waiting for that plaque 👀

Yo, congrats on 100k!

Love the content

Another top video Jimmy! Cheers (Y)

You should do an episode on parkour/other sport hybrids! Like how Daniel Illabaca mixes inline skating with parkour or how pedro salgado mixes longboarding with parkour

Really enjoyed that one, thanks!

Nice seeing you filming around Wolverton and CMK

Conggrats bro 100k bruh

Those new glasses are dope!🔥 Also Great content, keep it up.

Hi Jimmy, i have no desire to do any parkour or have I ever payed any attention in the past. But your channel is great, keeps my attention the whole way through. Keep up the good work. PIGDOG

100K congrats man

yoooo 100k congrats man 🥳

the best feeling is when you do the jump insane amount of times and then come back next day and get a one bang btw its callum for me

Please make a video on different types of vaults or how they emerged from easy to difficult and cool looking flowy vaults and the mixture of two or more vaults like kash vault, or which is the most difficult one. You had already done video about sticks and wall climb ups, but the most commonly part of pakour 'Vaults' is pending.

Cool video.....A video about the 10 best/most iconic spots in parkour would be absolutely awesome

Love every video

The style of your vids are awesome

Sticking a jump is the best feeling in Parkour/Freerunning, weather it is on the top of a deadly steep wall or on a bench.

basically it takes perfect control to stick, they do it in gymnastics to show good control and they loose points if they take a step after landing. Loving these videos BTW, thanks JtG :)

Big up!

Thanks for that

Great video 👍

Jimmy your vids are the reason I want to start parkour

congrats on 100k

congrats on 100k!

The absolute plummet at 5:50 made me lose it... You LEGEND

I hope we get a video on the shoes of parkour and the styles of those who prefer different shoes

Ayyyy just twisted my ankle doing parkour check

you are the best you-tuber ever keep up the good work

Sticking is just satisfying

You should do a video about height in parkour, like what effect being taller or shorter has on people’s style

Congrats on 100k jimbo

Congratulations on 100.000 subs

Endjis Miscenco also has some awesome sticks ;)

When you talked about "the dinger award" I felt such disrespect when you didn't mention the first ever winner Cosmin Marius (from Spain)

Congrats on 100k

Keep up the good vids

I see it more like a way of survival, being able to stick jumps means that if you didnt have a place to land if you fail it doesn't matter because you just land on the wall

it's bang and heavy, that kid fell that wasn't a jump and had me in tears it's so funny

You got me back into doing parkour man, thanks!

I miss free running, back in November I severely broke my left foot. Havent been able to put full weight on it since and may never be able to again..

You have also created a great motivational video.

Great vid thanks

Jimmys titles are always questions i think at 3am, i like it

love how quite a lot of free runners wear the burglar classics!!!!! Reebok my friend, your trainers are legendary lol

Ayyye 100k subs!

The landings are sick

Sticking a jump is just like landing a trick on a skateboard with both feet on the bolts n a nice catch in the air

Yessss Wade is a beast, so glad he is beginning to get some recognition.

Best video to date. So I don’t do Parcour, but you spoke early in the video about what is so satisfying about a good stick... In a previous video you mentioned that Parcour is the activity of travelling from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. If the jump is stuck beautifully. Then no energy was wasted travelling. There was the right amount of power- not to much, not to little - that the landing could be comfortable and kind and (ignoring the years of practise to make it so...) easy. Is the stick the epitome of efficient travel? The epitome of Parcour??

3:50 perfectly put!

Always wondered why they were obsessed with STICKING. Thank you 😂
