      LaFlairParkour Hi, my name is De'Andre Briggery. I have been trying to work on my Parkour channel for about 2 years now, and I was wondering if you had any tips for training, or anything like that. Feel free to get back to me, whenever you can. Thanks.

    Thank you for the video Jesse! I've been wanting to be a stunt double for awhile now and you answered some questions that I was pretty ignorant about. I live in North Carolina so moving to LA or just California in general is a HUGE step that I always contemplated taking. I also get those talks from my family members about having a backup plan if the whole stunt thing doesn't work out, but I also tune them out because I know that this is something I genuinely have a passion to pursue and you and your tutorials were a very helpful tool along the way. I'm getting to that age now where It's about time to make those dreams happen. I'm gonna try with every ounce of my being to strive for what I'm after. The only reason I should have a Plan B is if I give up on my dream and stop trying. I refuse to have a Plan B. Its just a safety net that makes you feel comfortable giving up. I hope to see you one day, In person, when I make this dream a reality (:

    Hey Jesse, so interesting to listen to your story and discover a few things I never thought about. Im 17, living in the UK and have been a parkour athlete for the last 4 years. Over here we have something called the JISC stunt register. To be able to do stunt work, I need a minimum of 5 different disciplines e.g. Rock climbing, scuba diving, martial arts, horse riding, etc. I also need 60 days experience as an extra on set. Do you have any further information on this to help me achieve my goal. Any advice for me personally would be amazing! Thanks.

    Great video, I really admire your work. I am just wondering, are there any specific tests you need to do to work in stunts in LA? In the U.K. there is the JISC stunt register, you need to do six tests, gymnastics test, driving test etc. The system doesn't make for very specialised stuntmen.

    • @LaFlairParkour
      @LaFlairParkour  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No. They might bring you in to audition you but no cert is needed. One thing you will need to work on major motion pictures in the states is to get into Sag-Aftra which is out union. However if the coordinator is willing to fight for you they could "Taft Hartley" you into the union.

    Jesse you should do a collaboration with some of the guys from X-men, or get in touch with a celebrity freerunner like Taylor Laughtner, Tom Holland etc. that'd be good for your social media goal and you can take advantage of the great position you are in
