ORANGE - Broken Spine Story | Parkour

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ธ.ค. 2017
- We met Zony during X-Tour, when he was putting Czech Parkour on the map. Known for massive hops and his loud outfits he was impossible to miss.
Shortly after returning to the Czech Republic he fell and broke his spine. Jason sat down with Orange during his trip to Prague and asked him about his story.

Zony is a beast
Hey guys, i would like to thank you for a such a great feedback and also BIG thanks to Jason who made this video.
You're such a Legend!! Mad respect, man!
Zony Masta 😊👊🏼
Jason Paul
You are greatest👏
Zony Masta ❣️
Such an inspiration zony it was so cool to see you come back from that you are a legend
This is the type of documentary I'll save at my heart. Thank you Zony for being the person you are, thank you Farang for presenting us such an amazing story, you really don't know the positive impact you are causing with your actions, and I really hope to one day be able to retribute that. Thank you.
Ícaro Matheus Santana Very well put 👍🏻
Czech power💕💕💕
three weeks ago I broke my ankle and will have a cast on for 2 months. Then I start my journey to learn how to walk again, and everyone has told me give up, slow down, stop doing what you do. Funny thing is I didn't even break it doing any flips, it was playing a "sport". I too have gone through the mental anguish of being told I will not be the same ever again. I agree. I won't be the same because I will be better. Zony your injury has put a lot of things into perspective for me today. If you have passion and a dream that is authentically yours then nothing can take that from you. The greatest in anything have suffered adversity but their dreams were too real to give up on. From countries fighting for freedom to you fighting for your passion, grit, drive, and zeal will move you forward. I hope to have the honor of training with you one day brother but if not in this life then in spirit. I dont even know you but I love what you have done for me today and I am beyond grateful. Thank you Farang for publishing this video, it has done more for me than words will allow me to express. We are truly a blessed community to have so many inspiring individuals.
17:03 I do girlfriend... Yes probably.
YeetedMeat hehehehehe
She broke up with him ages ago but he doesn't give up

This video is such an inspiration for freerunners never quit no matter what 💪
pk. Roberts true bro
now im training my gainer again
i broke my wrist cuz of my last gainer.....sad
Thanks FARANG i never knew who he was till today , he is one among you who inspired me to do freerun parkour There was a random parkour compilation video there he was the orange dude smashing those huge jumps and side flip EPIC its good to know him 😊
Been doing pk since '08 and just as of right now I totally remember watching videos from him at that time. Thank you for reminding me of such a monster he was at the time and still is!
Wow. Absolutely amazing and inspiring story!) He's very lucky to stay not even paralised after brocken neck. And that's amazing that he is jumping, training and enjoying the movement after all of that. The happiest man!)

I'm seriously loving these video experiments Team Farang has been doing, lately. This will go down as one of the most beautifully told Parkour story.
7:47 That precision jump was so OP...
It wasnt a pre
I use to train back in the mid 00's. Did Parkour for around 5-6 years before life got in the way and I basically didn't have time to train (job, wife, kids, responsibilities etc). The thing that was very big at the time when I trained was that Parkour is non-competitive and Parkour competitions are against the very essence of what Parkour is about. A lot of people think that running and jumping, doing flips etc is Parkour, but it's not. That is merely a manifestation of what Parkour actually is.
Parkour is a philosophy in which the practitioner strengthens their mind and body through movement. It just so happens that jumping, vaulting etc is the most efficient way of achieving this, hence why people often think that doing these things means they are doing Parkour.
The point of your training when you do Parkour is to gain mastery over your mind, strengthen your ability to assess what you are capable of and develop your ability to enact it. This is why Parkour and competition don't mix well. When you have a Jump and every fibre of your body tells you that you are not capable of doing this you walk away. You go and train on a similar jump that you are capable of doing. After days, weeks, months you return to the original jump and suddenly find every fibre of your body tells you that you can do this, and you do just that. That is how you train your mind and develop your ability to assess what you are capable of doing.
However, when you approach that original jump and your body tells you no and instead of walking away you listen to your friends telling you "you've got this". Or you use the cheers of the crowd to spur you on. What you find is that if you are successful in doing the jump you have in actual fact failed at Parkour. Because the way you were able to achieve such a feat was not through mastery of your mind. But instead was by turning off your brain, using the judgment of your friends or the power of people cheering in order to enable you to successfully land the jump. This is a great way to rapidly progress in terms of movement but is a terrible way to develop an understanding of what you can and cannot do and ultimately gain full control over your mind and thoughts. It is also a sure-fire way to get yourself seriously hurt.
When you train your ability to judge what you can or cannot do (which is a learned skill). And only ever rely on that ability and block all outside influences you find that you very rarely get hurt. As the best method of determining what you can or cannot do is yourself. But when you rely on others to determine what you or cannot do you often find that they are wrong. Thus, drastically increasing the risk of hurting yourself, but most importantly denying yourself the opportunity to train in the actually thing that Parkour is designed to do. Master your mind.
This Guy seems like an awesome guy and his physical abilities are incredibly impressive so top marks from me. The point of my comment though is to point out something that in my opinion seems to be lost in Parkour community i.e. What Parkour actually is.
Food for thought.
Fantastic documentary, it really gets you to just go and train. Makes you think to not waste your time sitting at home doing nothing :)
Thanks for sharing and making this, guys. I remember when i was younger and first getting into parkour, Zony's videos were a big inspiration to me and i always wondered where he went but now we know and he is still training after that crazy injury! Big up to the No.1 crazy orange bastard.
Holy Shit. One of the best videos I have watched on parkour and freerunning, of all time, period. Unique, different, motivational, positive. Well made
Love you bro!
ShadeZlat i really want watch documentary of you shade,you are legend too
Best film I’ve seen since roof culture Asia, loved the old school footage and vibe, along with the story and message behind it!
so nice to see you still at it! one of the first athletes i was watching when i started training years back! absolutely amazing story!
Sayy whaaat, It's pleasure to see this badass from same country where I live on Farang channel! legend_
Roman Plch same
Roman Plch clovece presne co to dava
Přesně!
I got injured last year while practicing Parkour..still recovering.
it's so inspirational and amazing story. Hopefully soon I will start doing Parkour again.
Atul yadav how its happened
Man the dedication that this guy has is almost unreal. It's so inspiring to watch this guy's story & to realize that life thrives when u want it to.
It's so amazing that he was able to recover from such an injury. He's an enormous inspiration!
This is so inspiring. He did something no-one believed he will do again. That's passion! Respect!
Zony is one hell of a badass
When Parkour Becomes Harmful:
#1: Going too far beyond your skills.
#2: Going too far when you are tired.
This is a very great short film. It really drives home how we ought to measure ourselves and stay just on the line when it comes to pushing ourselves further to do it safely.
Thank you.
this shows how amazing the human body is at recovering. this was so inspirational!!
Thank you Jason for making this, we need more stuff like this!
Awesome Video. It´s amazing how much passion you have, ver inspirational. (The editing was superb too^^)
Youre really an inspiration.... I will never forget this..youre a hero for freerunners..
Simply wonderful.
Thank you Farang and Sonic for the video.
best thing in months coming from You guys :)
you actually gave me so much inspiration in parkour&freerunning back in the day .. i was always like : wow that guy in the orange clothes is just so amazing :)
I remember meeting this guy in Denmark in 2013, when he was visiting for "Lachette Birthday Jam" at BGI akademiet, and i sat next to him in the bus. He is the most gentle and humble man I have ever met, and when I saw his movement at the Jam he blew me away. He won a precision competion as far as I remember. Nevertheless, his power and control has since been a motivation for me, and I am glad to hear his recovery went well.
one of the most touching documentaries I've seen in a while, pure passion :)
Absolute legend, glad he survived and glad he's still doing what he loves
A massive message to the whole community. Keep inspire.
the save 7:42
The friend who caught him is a rock, does not move an inch.
Yeah like wtf how
wow that's just inspirational and gives you goosebumps!
wow .. this is such an amazing video! back when i started he was one of my favourite athletes and biggest inspirations. enjoyed it to be able to spend some time with him and learn stuff at the fam jam back in the days. so sad something like that had to happen to him but so awesome to hear his story and see how well he did. glad you're back zony!
Respekt Zonymu, je to bojovník! A ani tohle zranění ho nezastavilo.
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story!
I really appreciate this move from you guys. We all love Zony.
Thanks for such a great video team farang!
Zony is legend. Salute.
The best video to end the year! Bless for you hood!
thanks for sharing this story with us . so much positiveness I feel now .no more afraid of injuries anymore 💝
Stumbled across this video in my feed... your story is quite amazing. I admire your “never-give-up” attitude.
Two years ago I was going palm flip, & once I fell on matrices as well on my neck, but I couldn't move completely for almost one hour, then I moved, but my right arm kept fkr a month, it was so heavy & weak. Finally I started 6 months ago to return to the basics & I can do combos now, I even intend to do twists.
Happy new year people!
what is matrices?
is that French?
Coming off of two ankle sprains i feel so lucky, inspired, and so optimistic. You are one of the legend Zony, no matter what. Stay Orange and keep jumping.
The most inspiring story!!! He just said "I will jump again". And so it is. Stronger than before, I suppose, on every level. Admiration to his mum, too.
I love this idea of giving other freerunners with great stories a space to tell theirs
Huge respect to him, I've had a few injuries, twice on the head, but nothing as serious as his. It makes me glad to see he recovered and continues on. Inspiring.
My respect man, you are a true hero. When i saw your injury i frezee, but you can do all that moves again. Unbelievable
Now there's no reason for me to not do parkour.
You're an inspiration zony!
thank you Jason for sharing his story with us.
Never felt so much respect for a person before, amazing
Super inspiring watch
wow, so inspirational... huge respect
That’s incredible!!! Amazing story.
Omg. I am from Czech republic and i was on his workshop and i did not knew that. Respect Zony. Thank you for this video.
One of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen awesome
Parkour sports personality of the year award would go to this guy, mad respect and such an inspirational mover
I love this. This really Inspired me, and changed my way of thinking about freerunning and parkour❤️
Awesome parkour evolution
Met you at fam jam, good to see you recovered mate!
Thomas, I think that all traceurs in Czech Republic know you. And I think that you are a legend and great inspiration for everyone. And I am honored that I can live in the same country as you live and that I could meet you personally. We are all glad that you couldn't stop, and didn't stop... You are a hero to us. Just do not hurt yourself again. Be carefull, jump and make us proud.
So emotional. Keep doing what your doing
This is so inspiring. I had a shoulder injury but im not letting the constant pain stop me from doing what i love!
amazing story, so glad you could keep doing what you love
Thank you for the inspiration! I Remember this guy from the FAMjam 2014 he is Amazing
This breaks my heart, I wish you all the best!
I have the ultimate respect for this dude!🙏🏽
Man, you're such an inspiration ! Even if my injury was not like yours, I experienced something like you (I broke my crossed ligaments and 2 menicus), that was so bad that my surgeon said that i will never do parkour or free running. I cried like a baby and i said to my self ''not possible, that can not end like this'' so i do a lot of re-education and want to do it again even if my parents didn't agree with that xD. And now here i am i can do free run ! Anyway you are a great man ! Keep on going !
AnimeOST FullVersion good for you man. I mean ryan doyle snapped his shin throwing a double cork he missed the mat at a competition. He thought the same thing like thats it..im done gotta move on. But he realized he couldn't be anyone else. If you want it that badly you can have it basically he just went back to it better than before
hard work pays off
AnimeOST FullVersion heh, I know that feeling, same injury and can't recover after 2 years, because I know about injury after 5 months, so there are many repeated injuries after that on knee, so knee cant stay at place after side moves. Get well and hope you will be more lucky than me 😉
Sorry to say this but you'll need knee replacement surgery by the time you're 28 if you keep free running.
The roof of the swimmingpool of gerlev at sunset. Classic! 👌
This was such a nice watch with one of Europe's most underrated traceurs. The freerunning community could do with more content like this
The catch at 7:41 is epic
For Czech parkour Zony is the legend of comeback
two words: deeply inspiring !
Inspirational story! I have always wondered what happened to the freerunner in the Orange shirt 🙂 Glad to see you were able to make a tremendous recovery Tomas, keep training and doing what you love!
Ich will nicht nur seine Aussage am schluss stärken aber Parkour/Fr. ist für mich echt was besonderes und hat mich immer glücklich gemacht. - *onelove*
Das Video ist wirklich gut geschnitten, Musik perfekt ausgesucht und vorallem die Geschichte bestens rüber gebracht. Grüße aus Reutlingen! ❤
When I first met him I don't know that what parkour exactly means ... I just wanna do flips and twists, but when I saw him at first time 2012. At that moment in my head was only this "One day I want to be like this guy, maybe this is meaning of parkour". You know he loves what is he doing and you don't even need to talk with him. Zony is motivation for life
*So inspiring💛*
All the love and respect in the world to Tomas!
Thanks for staying strong and brave.
Amazing man. Respect for your positivity and respect to the farang team. You guys are all awesome!!!
Very inspiring and motivational!❤
This man is a legend! (Much love)
You're a boss, thank you for that video you gave us a lot. I failed on a wallflip because (i didn't check enough and i was tired) 8 month ago, my neck did a KRRRRRRRAK but because i'm a lot flexible nothing was broken. I wasn't good. Pain was awful, i wanted to have a good guerison and i had seen that the stop of parkour training made my neck weak, so when i could; 2weeks later i trained in a gym, and in the sand (because at this time i was hurting myself to work flips outside). Now I have to do an other pause, longer because my body didn't heal perfectly and i can't level up.
Zony, thank you for having demonstrate me that the mind is so powerful, and even what i thought the worst fail can be beaten by the force of the will, you have my admiration :)
Absolutely amazing your doing great 🍊 !
The best video on parkour and freeruning i watched
Epic dude!!! Real man. Amazing story. Keep pushin, bro.
Keep on inspiring, keep on moving.
This was so inspiring before 2017 ends T.T thumbs up for you Orange
You really are a strong man with the heart of strong will. something to get inspire of. :)
I watched orange as a kid. Great viddie
this is just beautiful.
I always thought that all pain could be overcame and this is a perfect example of it 🙏
Yesss Zony ❤💪
This is the main reason why he is my inspiration. He fell but he never gave up
Glad to see you are happy, recovered, and can jump again!
God love you a lot I think.
I almost can't jump after knee injury, after one bad land in gym on mates... No ski, no snowboard, no skates, no inline skates, no running, no trampoline, no parkour, no many other things... only one accurate back flip on soft ground, and road accurate cycling - thats all I can after 2 years of recovery, and will never get the form I have before. Thats sad, when you looking around, your friends and other guys can do all that things, but you can't... I know that feel very well. Only trying to coach other guys now, to make and learn things in more accurate ways. Glad to see your story, get well and be accurate, love your mom, girl and friends, and thank to God you are alive :)
