this video is the reason why I started parkour. I have been training for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier.i had concerns but I never realized how much criticism. I think if there's one thing all freerunners can relate to is that it's hard to live in a world full of conformists. parkour and freerunning has truly changed me.im not afraid of getting hurt because I now understand my body and it's limits. if anything,I'm only afraid of getting injured because that means I won't be able t of train. what do I get out of parkour though? I don't believe I can fly anymore, I know I can.

Nothing can replace this documentary. Its not a just a video its an emotion.🔥

That documentary has taken the art of Parkour and has dispersed it on to the world sharing its beauty and elegance. The artists in the film captivate you in their passion and welcome you into their minds and souls. Honestly the best documentary I have ever seen.

I've gotten 3 top comments on here already! Anyway, this documentary has gotten me fully into Parkour and Freerunning, and I've already learned many advance tricks. I've literally shared this at least 5 times, and this deserves to be shown to everyone who wants to get started. You guys deserve millions of views for quality like this!

Thank you for creating a documentary about parkour. I feel like most people don't understand what I do as a traceur. They see it as disrespectful or reckless, when really it is quite the opposite. It's a culmination of both the mind and the body at work and an expression of creativity and skill. It's an art that should be appreciated, and this video is helping people to do just that.

I remember my brother telling me he was gonna be in this documentary when I was younger, I never imagined it would grow to have the impact it has had today. I still show this video to people regularly, it is such a masterpiece I wish films like this were still being made. Hope the rest of the crew is doing well!

Holy shit it's been 3 years since I've watched this. I'm back to say thank you, Cedric Dahl, for having made this film. Without it, I wouldn't know what I would be doing with myself to this day. I already knew what parkour/freerunning was before I saw this film, but it was this film that pushed me to start on a surprisingly cold December morning in SoCal. You (Cedric Dahl) have helped me change my life from a chubby and depressed person into a happy and young practitioner that I am now. If you want, you can watch me progress on Instagram. My username is ironically natecantflip.

I've been wanting to do parkour for about a year,but that one thing thats keeping me from doing it is fear.. Fear that I'll hurt myself in the process,fear that I'll be shamed by the crowd if i make a simple mistake,fear that I'll never get good at it.But now,im getting rid of it after watching this video.I'll practice even if takes time or even my reputation on the line.I'll make sure im good at it or I'll never be successful in anything..

Neeranjan Max I stopped caring about what people thought about me out of anger that people live an insane boring life. So I said piss off to them and just ran. I fell, got tired, but then got back up and still kept on going. It's funny because this saying helps put exactly what I'm trying to say into full perspective: "If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it, if all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it, and if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it, and lose all your terror of the opposition for it, and if you simply go after that thing that you want, with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence, and stern pertinacity, if neither cold poverty, famish, or gout, sickness or pain of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want, if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God you will get it!" - Les Brown

Two of my favorite things... the art of motion and the burn. Thank you I needed this on a rainy ass portland day. It is in the moment that we become free, pushing your metal and physical self to overcome is a path to freedom. This is part of a full life, My wife loves dance and zumba, she moves everyday, my daughter is following in her foot steps. I just move, from martial arts to parkour I have never let go of the child's heart that comes in physical play, my son is following in my foot steps.

Incredibly, very emotional. I feel it

This video has probably changed me as a person and I'm pretty sure it'll have saved me from the downward spiral that I was in. Thank you to everyone who was apart of this film. Simply beautiful.

absolutely beautiful film. one of the most inspiring things ive watched

I love the general movement of parkour because the more you accomplish the better you feel and you overcome fears and you make your mobility better overall

Oh God I was a kid when I first watched it 😭😭❤️❤️❤️time flies by so fast

This is... kind of perfect film about defining what is Parkour. Every virtues about the art of movement are extremely well explained. It's not only a documetary about Parkour, but also a way to re set who we are. I love the way this documentary explains how parkour practicers are feeling and getting free of their movement by practicing Parkour. It explains very well this kind of "missing feeling" of life, wich is being free of our movements. This documentary is absolutely consonant with the way I feel when practicing Parkour. This is really perfect. Thanks for this perfect documentary

Wow. I remember watching this 6 years ago. 6!! Really inspiring and I was just looking through my old KZread playlists. Still makes me want to cry. So powerful. Time flies. Hope you guys are going well today.

This is one of the best videos on youtube you really described parkour perfectly and how it makes you feel like your free you just earned a like and a sub

listening to the little speech starting at around 31:30 really is one of the big reasons why parkour/freerunning but maybe even more tricking is so important to me. everyone may be at a different level of skill. but contrary to sports like football or basketball, you don't have to separate them into different teams. everyone is on one level with each other mentally. this is a great movie. absolutely loving it!!!

This was amazing. I've wanted to learn parkour/free running for quite some time now but never have had chances to. Living in a small town, not knowing how to get involved with any parkour communities in my area (if any exist), or even how to go about safely learning. This film makes me want to actually take this into my own hands and learn this sport. I just don't know where to start.

SlickRick4EVER The difference between Parkour and Freerunning is that Parkour focuses more on the actual efficiency of movement when traversing obstacles where as freerunning is more involved with self expression through tricks and flips. At the very least that's what I was taught by the person who held the training classes I learned from. I hope you're thoroughly humored.

All i can say s thank you. I needed the mental boost :-)

Parkour is the answer to all our problems in life. The world would be a better place if everyone did parkour. I'm gonna show this to all my friends and show that there is nothing wrong with being one with nature. Thank you Cedric Dahl for making this film. Really appreciate it :')

One of the most important things is to take it slow in the beginning. Don't try jumps or tricks that you don't think you can do. Build up to the difficult ones and stop the trick immediately if it feels overly uncomfortable. Try and balance strength and technique during your overall training. If possible, find people that will train with you. It makes it a lot more fun. :)

Like if somebody asked me why do I like parkour, I would not know how to explain it because there are just so many emotions. But I could relate to everything they say said, the feeling of freedom, the art and beauty... I think everybody in this world needs to see this video to really understand what life means

This sounds more like Parkour was changed by Burning Man. Which is Great! But why stop in 2011? Why didn't they keep going? Set up a Parkour camp and let everyone see it every year?

I was so inspired by this film! It helped me realize something. I was doing it wrong this whole time, saying I was free doing parkour, but I wasn't free. I stressed myself out over slight moves, and got mad if I was scared of something. I'm trying to learn my back flip, I keep landing on my hands and knees, so I'm going to practice it tommorow, and even if I fail, I will go home happy! I am also going to try to be as free as possible, and enjoy free running, not just focusing on one move, but doing what I say I do, Being Free! Thank you so much for your documentary, it has shown me the true meaning of what I do, parkour. :D

After years of doing Parkour... I can say this is so pure and the most beautiful video I had seen! This brings back my childhood viewpoint and life to Parkour. WOW!

I love the broken statue of David at 18:17 that's so cool. Wish my city had cool artwork like that just laying around.

This movie is so beautiful it actually makes me feel like crying. :') I recently took up Parkour and have just been limiting myself to the gym that I practice and learn Parkour at. I also thought that Parkour is just a sport with really cool tricks and moves that look awesome in public, but now it's just way more than that! It's an art, it's a philosophy, it's a a way of life. Parkour is everywhere, and the main obstacle that I need to confront now is myself. Thank you for making this guys. :)

I'm glad I watched this. I don't do parkour but I love the art. This video is truly inspiring and amazing.

i've always felt hindered by my fears and letting them get in the way. seeing this film has inspired me to get out, to have fun, and to be me. to not care what other people think. thank you so much to cedric dahl, paul, lonnie, brian, jake, and david. and all other freerunners around the world. look forward to joining the community.

this video is one of the best inspirational video about parkour ,.. THUMBS UP

This really makes me realize why I do parkour and freerunning. Freerunning has changed my life in so many ways :) if you don't already do it, I highly suggest starting out!! You won't regret it

Before this, I thought parkour need flips and cool stuff, but now I realize its about becoming one with the environment and expressing yourself. This has changed how I do parkour

thank you for putting this out there im truly inspired. I love all the athletes you featured in this thanks.
