- Forrest and Dan in a new short film by Julie Angel. www.parkourgenerations.com For more info email Dan and Forrest at contact@parkourgenerations.com This film is a study of architectural potential and the body within a limited space. Parkour, conditioning, combinations, foot and hand placement, they've got flow. I've been shooting parkour action for nearly 2 years and this is the piece of work I am the most proud of. Enjoy!
parkour is one of the coolest things in urban culture. this vid is just a training doc. you should check out the other parkour vids, parkour and free running people are crazy jumping off tall buildings and stuff, totally extreme
Haha its crazy when i look back at this and remember wanting to learn turning lazy vaults, 360 underbars and even kong vaults and now they have become second nature. I will always love this documentary it reminds me of when I started Parkour.
I was training there a while back with Dan. It´s exactly as he says: A space hard to move through if you encounter it for the first time. I have never shinned as much as I did in that 1 session compared to all of my Parkour life. Technical difficulty is huge. The flow you see in the video is unreal :)
One of my favourite clips. Just simple, full of little gems to try out. And a lovely sense of flow which most vids miss.
An absolute joy to watch Dan & Forrest's movement.
Thank you Julie for this excellent production.

Parkour is not pointless, it improves mental awareness, physical shape, spacial awareness, also the discipline side of it teaches you how to overcome other obstacles in life that are not necessarily physical, it improves so, so much more than what can possibly be shown in this video.
THis is a breath of fresh air for humanity.
Amidst all the economical models we have to sort out representing true human power and effort, parkour reveals basic potential.
Hats off.
Dan and Forrest are the best teachers i ever had!!
Best passtime ever, I can't imagine living without parkour.
This is still one of my favorite shorts on parkour. Your cinematography is beautiful, Miss Angel
The music is from Mr Bird on the Frequent Soundz label. The track is called Bossacroc. he has a new album 'Know Your Rodents' coming out soon.
What a great video! I find myself watching it over and over again. Beautifully done.
Great underbars...
probably the smoothest Ive seen since team 101's first video.
great combos it was really intracate.
hey thanks Bam, i love documentaries but I wanted to do something which had more of my creative signature on, so here it is. I'm keen on taking things alot more abstract :)
hope all your projects are going well,
cheersxJ
though you can train by yourself or with friends, having someone WAY better than you to train and teach you is incredibly helpful. how i first started was by watching UF tutorials and trying stuff in the school gym so you totally can get started without a teacher. BUT you would be amazed at how many clubs there are to train with. even in smaller cities theyre pretty common.
This, this here is the heart of Parkour.
Not the big jumps, the overrated flips, the horrible foot work...
This here, concentration, acuracy, training, heart.
Sometimes, i wish i was back in 2004 - 2008.
Parkour, back then, was like this, it was pure, it was an awesome Phylosophy.
Nowadays? We are full of dilluted Traceurs who don't know about the basics, the story, the real meaning of "Killing an Obstacle".
Makes me sad.
Like Bruce Lee Said.
"Be water, my friend".
Feel the flow.
Be the flow.
Great piece Julie! unique.
Forest, Dan. You've achieved some beautiful paths there. Gotta love the fluid twist of those underbars..
The floating black box was AMAZING!!!! the parkour was ok too.
this is really an amazing video. Forrest and Dan are amazing traceurs and big idols of mine. Look at how pure their movement is. absolute efficiency. not the straightest line but moving in the simplest, most graceful way.
i was really lucky. a few months ago i went to london for a week and i got to meet Forrest and Danand do some training.
you would NEVER get bored of this spot
At the moment I'm just doing drills and conditioning exercises. I've only done some small stair jumps. Nothing more than that. I hope to be able to learn the roll and vault soon.
Open your eyes, that must be what you get from this video! its the main focus to me. there are spots all over the place, you just have to expand your mind look harder, let your mind flow as well as your body.
I'm a traceur in training, and this video was a huge inspiration. Those combos were really great, and it's exactly these types of videos that just make you wanna' get out there and Parkour!
I'll see ya' later! I'm heading outside!! ;)
Fantastic vid, instant fave.
I remebember watching this when it came out, ive stopped practising now but this is still incredible.
really nice spot to move around... you could have such fun jamming a spot like that one. awesome video!
Beautiful video! I love the interview with the children.
Parkour is beyond awesome, thanks for sharing this.
Well done, good camera shots, great audio and a good subject, bravo! Simple and to the point. something lacking on youtube at times. Great job.
Cool Special thanks from Switzerland at Dan and Forrest. Your welcome was very friendly. When I see this vid..I'll practise a lot precision. Thanks for your advices and kindness. See you!! Jan
thank you, I am really learning lots form this video. these guys are not intrested in showing off. true masters.
Very nice piece, simple but great technical skills on show with effective directing.
HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AMAZING! I mean, this is really cool! I know that feeling you get when you do something of cool agility and you have to be in great shape. I respect you two! and whoever assisted them in making this or does parkour!
How I miss it...I broke my leg last week running the industrial park and I'm out for a while. good video
That camera work is friggin' unbelievable.
Great documentary. Good work. Would love to see more.
I love this stuff, if I could do this my walk to work would be freakin amazing.
Parkour is pretty amazing. First beginners explanation vid i've ever seen. Most of the pro vids are badly cut but this is amazing.
their flow is impressive , watching traceurs do this is inspiring 2 younger generations hu want 2 take up parkour, but the hold back is trying something new which makes ppl scared.
that roll in the end was perfect
great video, beautiful to watch, well structured with talented subjects
Forest and Dan rocks :-)
Keep up the good work guys!
Very well put together video and the great showmanship didnt hurt good job.
This was a great short doc. The camera work was on par with, say, Jump London or the likes. Very good, you should be very proud of this for sure.
Amazing movement, awesome documentary! You've taken an ordinary space and turned it into something quite extraordinary! I felt like I was watching a very cool dance.
Thanks for uploading! This is a great parkour video!
I liked it! Suitable music, good commentary, nice editing. The kids' comments were a very nice add.
A really good clip, overall :)
Damn, those Guys' vaults are SMOOTH!
great video, parkour is great, you should make it popular in USA.
Wow, that is an amazing spot. I wish there were more places like that in America. But, sadly, there are very few where I am. Nice video, I enjoyed it! Thanks!
'parkour-a journey not a destination' motion.
these guys have uber elite underbar flow. sweet spot aswel the swing 2 medium was prety dope 2
So hw long did u train till you r really good at it? I'm just curious, wanna take up this sport ...
im looking for some advise for a complete beginner. just an idea of some basic moves that would be good for me to start out on. any help is appreciated
love it. its a shame there are not more videos like this. I think there are too many videos on free running and not enough on parkour.
Damn, thats what i call fluently movement!
Nuff Respect fi dat!
Conceptuial! you slowed the pace right down and portrayed the flow of parkour perfectly,nearly all vids on here are too rough, ~Applauds~
EXcellent vid, such cool places these guys have to train...
Wow, the second guy's body is like fluid. The precision of their movement is amazing. It's a little scary that children will try to imitate them though.
you should because dame du lac and lisses is too nice. and if you go there you will learn so much about parkour and yourself. and if you come back to your town you will see many new spots and jumps you never saw before. it's worth to go there.
This was a phenomenal production
looks great, will listen with decent volume later!
the point is to do it as stylish and graceful as possible!
This chick is a very good shooter and cutter - this was tight. the kids make it great. V. good work there angel, keep it up.
The supreme irony of this video is that they are moving in ways that few people can on something which is suppose to help people who can barely move (handicap ramp). I love generations.
i give props to youtube for puting this on front page, parkour needs publicity. To be honest, however, there are more front page worthy parkour videos on here :/ videos that would show ppl what parkour really is about.
that's pretty cool :) very well made! I loved the inclusion of the interview with the children; a nice touch that was quite original!
Dammed, so nice Watermoves, so fluid, i love it!!
yeah im in a crew myself...and the spot is down right sick...great for beginners
i dont know what is your point of view on skateboarding, but i see parkour and skateboarding like 2 activities that have so much in common.
1. Both use architectural structures in an untraditional way as a mean of self expression.
2.Both can be seen as a sport but also as an art form. 3.Both require technical and mental skills.
4. Both are "opening your eyes" on the world around you making you see possibilities in every place you see.
hey man thats great, is it you in the vid.
me and my mate will wanted to do a doc on parkour, from belfast to london, all over the UK, it's great to see that you got the youth intrested as well.added to favs and five stars, fantastic, great work
that was really awesome!! the video was great!!
Great video.
Very technical.
Pretty awesome.
Sick moves, love the "verticals" and "spring boards". Inspiring stuff. Now, where did I put my shin pads?
WOOAH!!! Impresssive!!! enjoyed it, good editing, liked the kids talkin in it and that fat man walking up there too:) and a great choice of music!
hi, thanks for your comments, there are more films like this on parkour coming very soon :)
Sooo good. The parkour and the film
from what I heard about early parkour is actually that it's about overcoming any obsticles in your way, that's what I saw somewhere on another documentary about Parkour anyway. It said Parkour wasn't about being fancy.
Thats the best Spot I've ever seen
OK. Thanks loads! You've been helpful. ;) My husband said he'll teach me too (he has background in martial arts) - so hopefully I'll be able to get it. I don't think learning the right method is boring at all. ;) I think it's quite important to do so. Thanks again!
ok i'm gonna start learning parkour^^
it's way to cool!
the beginning was really well done
fencing helped me a lot with parkour
your editing and film-making skills are great :)
Parkour is awesome.. and so is the movie District B13 which has alot of parkour action crazy fight scenes.
hola y gracias por tus pallabaras, parkour est una cosa muy especial y siento muy serte trabacar con los hente como Forrest y Dan. Un otre pelicula viene pronto :)J
so to learn parkour, are there clubs? cause i really wanna get into this sport.
After u land and u want to roll shood u push off with ur reet to roll or just lean onto ur shoulder?
Realy great place, I'd like to have something like this one near my home.
Me too! I know the feeling! Keep practising man! :D
nice camera work, nice skills, nice video. how ever another location would have been good. 4 stars.
cool , i so wana learn , any body got any pointers?? u go 2 classes or try find some1 thats already good to kinda mentor u ?
these guys describe exactly what street skateboarding is all about- using an environment for something very different for what it was intended, and moving through it creatively and spontaneously. people who do things like this develop a way of seeing the world with fresh eyes. parkour is cool, but skateboarding is the high art of environmental creativity. look up 'richie jackson' or 'william spencer' and see what i'm talking about.
Parkour is when youre moving from one place to another. And/or when you are escaping somthing.
Free running is just when you are having fun doing cool thing and training.
And militaries from different countries began looking for ways to incorporate Parkour into training. The British Royal Marines hired Parkour athletes to train their members.Colorado Parkour began a project to introduce parkour into the U.S. military and parkour is slowly being introduced into the USMC.
yeah its intresting the difference between a disipline and whatever free running is. i cant say i really know the difference, though i think i like the idea of freerunning better.
Free Running: Free running is a physical art, in which participants (free runners) attempt to pass all obstacles in their path in a smooth and fluid way. Free runners interact with their environment using movements such as vaulting, jumping, somersaults and other acrobatic movements, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving.
i think that was the smoothest roll i've ever seen lol
As a parkour practicing martial artist, I've been trying to get to that level in this short film. What I'm attempting to do is create a new blend of martial arts and Parkour. Not like Tricking. But using the environment around you as your weapon and advantage.
I wonder what that blacked out sign in the background says...
Where is that spot?
I've watched this video so many times!
I really wanna train there!!
Where is this? I'd love to be able to go here and train next time i'm in london :)
you guys realy know what you are doing, you got skills in parkour, some basic editing skills and a sence for editing without to much effekts ;) That good keep it clean, and realy great work here. I loved to watch it.
