I said it was a prerequisite to other things such as the wall flip, which in most cases is rarely used in parkour, but if applied right, it can actually be useful. That and I practice PK freerunning and tricking so idk I was just tempted to add it
Ontopic: I don't do parkour, but I just wanna say for safety, backflips are damn dangerous to learn without a coach or something. I learned during cheer, but I've seen so many people get hurt pretty bad from trying to do a backflip without knowing how.
lol I taught myself, landed on my head/neck 3 times before I got it down, I'm surprised I didn't injure myself :p
Sounds fun. Too bad I live in...not the most opportune place.
Same here; I have to ride my bike 3-5 miles to some place where I can do it
