http://i.imgur.com/IiMWW.gif now I'm just confused.

[–]subdep 139 points140 points ago

There are so many ways that failing that jump could really, really fuck you up, like permanently.

That being said, holy shit.

[–]FishDaddyMan 39 points40 points ago

My spine hurts just watching that.

[–]Rankus 22 points23 points ago

When i saw him flip, my butthole tightened

[–]gizza 7 points8 points ago

Seriously, the margin for error right there is like nothing. And any error is not going to be small.

[–]johnlukepicard 73 points74 points ago

That's some Matrix shit right there

[–]AscentofDissent 23 points24 points ago

I would love to be able to do that. Now if I could just find my way to /r/getmotivated....

Here's a link for you /r/getmotivated

If at first you don't succeed,

[–]JackassPenguinass 68 points69 points ago

Or die... That is also a very likely scenario.

[–]SirKeyboardCommando 8 points9 points ago

Doesn't really hold true for sky diving though.

[–]SgtSama 12 points13 points ago

This guy seems to think otherwise.

[–]bassboat1 9 points10 points ago

Here's the jump video.

[–]Potgut 6 points7 points ago

Even if I could do that, I wouldn't.

[–]markevens 599 points600 points ago

You gotta admit, he recovered from that pretty well.

[–]GrinningPariah 327 points328 points ago

First thing parkour teaches you is that before you learn to jump, you should learn to fall.

[–]gigglefarting 82 points83 points ago

I suck at falling. I jump, and I just keep going up.

[–]slanket 51 points52 points ago

Stop training in space.

[–]atafies 33 points34 points ago

Superman world problems.

[–]SilverEyes 149 points150 points ago

Then how are you going to fall?

[–]UnitedStatesGov 195 points196 points ago

By learning to jump.

[–]wiltedbouquet 214 points215 points ago

And why do we jump, Bruce?

So that we may learn to fall.

[–]sundbergftw 30 points31 points ago

You shoulda left the second part of that comment out so I could've come in hot and win all the karma. But alas, another missed opportunity.

[–]SomeDudeFromJersey 212 points213 points ago

It's a wall, it takes a lot to make a dent.

[–]ridik_ulass 17 points18 points ago

I'm actually more impressed by how he took that fall, then if he had made that jump in the first place.

[–]randomsnark 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong here. The people in all those awesome videos got that good by trying and failing. They survived long enough to get that good by only trying things that they knew they could do safely. I would not attempt the trick shown here, but the guy in the gif clearly shows that he is capable of failing it without hurting himself.

[–]Macadamian234 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah I like how when he hit the ground he made sure to land on his feet before keeling over in pain.

[–]MacGuyverism 76 points77 points ago

He was rolling to dissipate the energy over a longer period of time.

[–]GTB3NW 5 points6 points ago

Macadamian is wrong about why he was moving like that, but damnnnnn, that's still gonna hurt like a bitch, face full of wall and a 10ft(?) drop is going to hurt nonetheless.

[–]Bobzer 21 points22 points ago

I did parkour for a few years and you would be surprised how far you can fall without hurting yourself, looking at the landing I doubt it hurt him much (if at all), but yes that face full of wall... it's going to sting.

[–]ZondaRFanForLife 2 points3 points ago

I second this point. I can do 18 foot fall (I just started)

[–]imnotmarvin 289 points290 points ago

Needed to hit the B button faster.

[–]Potchi79 104 points105 points ago

Forgot that he doesn't automatically grab the ledge. Need to hold R1.

[–]Genekid 138 points139 points ago

False: No controller has a B button and an R1 button.

[–]fawker 191 points192 points ago

I bet you're fun at parties.

[–]Genekid 12 points13 points ago

Nah, I normally sit in the corner and pretend I am. Sometimes my hand is the only guest.

[–]BordomBeThyName 13 points14 points ago

I choose to think that you just go to parties and nonchalantly masturbate in the corner.

[–]derrida_n_shit 20 points21 points ago

Instead of "Nah," you should've used "False" again.

[–]Fealiks 16 points17 points ago

You've clearly never searched for a cheap PC controller on Amazon. If you're lucky, you can get an N64-shaped controller with an XBox Home button, a C stick and seven squares.

[–]calicollegeent 17 points18 points ago

Wii classic controller. here

[–]Genekid 11 points12 points ago

That's "Z1" not "R1"

[–]thebeststine 12 points13 points ago

Actually, it's "R" and "ZR", not "Z1". But still no R1 either.

[–]SgtSama 7 points8 points ago

Still an R1 if you ask me.

In London we're pretty rude... If you fucked up, it's your own fault.

[–]3danimator 170 points171 points ago

No. We are not rude. I'm sick of people saying that. We are just living in a busy city. Londoners are generally very very nice. Not like those assholes in Paris.

[–]The-Dudemeister 40 points41 points ago

Yea, what is with that?

[–]Cayou 77 points78 points ago

Well, they're not rude, they're just living in a busy city. Parisians are generally very nice. Not like those assholes in New York.

[–]Red_AtNight 115 points116 points ago

Come on man, if this happened in New York, someone would have stolen his wallet.

[–]Jlmichaud 66 points67 points ago

They're not rude, they're just living in a busy city. New Yorkers are generally very nice. Not like those assholes in Montreal.

[–]HEISENBERGMCMETHRAPE 159 points160 points ago

Sorry.

[–]Intolorent_Redneck 20 points21 points ago

Fuck you, man. It's OVER.

[–]VoluptuousOrange 3 points4 points ago

Well, they're not rude. They're just assholes.

[–]T0PHER911 9 points10 points ago

You didn't catch on.

[–]Pomguo 100 points101 points ago

Seriously. Londoners respect others' privacy and expect others to respect theirs. That's not rude. What's rude is random people at a bus stop trying to force an awkward conversation down my throat when it's clear I'm not comfortable with them doing so (or often, their choice of topic).

Northerners are always telling me how rude I must be because I'm from London. It's like, huh? If I run for a bus in London, the driver waits for me. If I run for a bus in Leeds, they drive off and shrug at me in the mirror. Yet somehow I'm meant to believe they're friendlier because they're... chattier? Bollocks.

[–]topazsparrow 61 points62 points ago

Scumbag London.

Londoners respect others' privacy and expect others to respect theirs

Installs 1 million cctv cameras

[–]Pomguo 11 points12 points ago

Too ruddy true. But then that'd be the government rather than us poor sods. Our Mayor, for instance, is about the furthest thing from a Londoner (more of a country-gentry orangutan)

[–]yesukai 2 points3 points ago

that'd be the government rather than us poor sods.

Your government is you. Stupid Brits all used to monarchs and shit. You have a democracy now!

[–]InsufferableTwat 78 points79 points ago

This comment couldn't be more London if it was wearing a sequinned waistcoat and singing "knees up mother brown".

[–]smellybird 38 points39 points ago

Yeah well you're an insufferable twat.

[–]BlueSparkle 3 points4 points ago

i think that might a common captical myth, i heard the same over berlin, and i never met more rude people then i would normally

[–]Hadrius 6 points7 points ago

How exactly do you respect others privacy when you have more surveillance cameras than any other city in the world?

[–]Pomguo 9 points10 points ago

Show me a Londoner who actually wants more CCTV and I'll show you my own brand of the No True Londoner fallacy

(it's the government run by old Etonians, rather than Londoners, who are putting those up)

[–]SSJwiggy 3 points4 points ago

What a rude thing to say.

[–]Z0idberg_MD 7 points8 points ago

Paris here. We're actually a pretty cool city once you spend some time here. Now Prague... there's a bunch of assholes.

[–]superlumenal 14 points15 points ago

Well it looks like the guy in red starts to run over to help at least.

[–]LightPrism 7 points8 points ago

I want to know why the guy in the red was shimmying that wall.

[–]nopants55 15 points16 points ago

Probably a parkour buddy.

[–]brodie7838 5 points6 points ago

Guy over by the light pole starts to run over too before the GIF loops.

[–]lmpervious 6 points7 points ago

The guy in red jumped down from where he was hanging, one guy covered his mouth in surprise and the others immediately checked to see his condition.

What else did you expect from them when he didn't even look like he hurt himself too badly all things considered? For them to already be calling an ambulance, or jumping over the railing down there to... I don't even know. Honestly, tell me. What did you expect?

[–]string97bean 58 points59 points ago

That is a high-quality gif you have there.

[–]EditingAndLayout[S] 20 points21 points ago

Why thank you.

[–]JJHParkour 4 points5 points ago

Hey, where did you find it? I know these guys and I'm curious

[–]EditingAndLayout[S] 13 points14 points ago

[–]Admiral_Amsterdam 19 points20 points ago

A lot of that wasn't funny... just made me cringe.

[–]DoubleDawg 80 points81 points ago

It's not flying. It's falling with style.

[–]thatguyfred 15 points16 points ago

The trick to flying is learning to fall and miss the ground

[–]Ruckus 11 points12 points ago

Yes Woody.

[–]ReversedGif 43 points44 points ago

[–]dancing_leaves 19 points20 points ago

The sands of time has aided him.

[–]Inarx 31 points32 points ago

Well...

At least he tried.

[–]I_am_THE_GRAPIST 34 points35 points ago

I applaud the attempt.

We're just sitting here on the computer, not much room to judge.

[–]chaos3333 -1 points0 points ago

I think that reasoning works better when it's a clip of someone just falling short when running a marathon or the like. This guy jumped mindlessly off a wall. When do we get to judge people if not when they do very stupid things in public?

[–]Yunjeong 9 points10 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/IiMWW.gif

It wasn't mindless. He was trying to achieve something.

[–]antonfire 6 points7 points ago

He wasn't trying to achieve the front flip, though. He was probably going for a double kong.

Even vaulting over the first wall at that speed is something most people can't do, much less doing it and reaching the top of the other wall with your hands. He's been doing parkour for a while, he knew what he wanted to achieve. He failed at it, but he didn't probably didn't suffer any long-lasting injury. So yes, it's far from mindless.

[–]JosephStylin 2 points3 points ago

First of all, he didn't jump off a wall. He jumped over a wall. Second of all, it obviously wasn't stupid, because he recovered fine.

[–]quitelikeme 5 points6 points ago

Did his right arm break on impact on the wall? It looks very uncomfortable.

[–]backreaper_nl 14 points15 points ago

Smack that, get on the floor!

[–]_shazbot_ 28 points29 points ago

Everybody walk the dinosaur?

[–]EchoFiveTwo 31 points32 points ago

"The goal is getting from point A to B as creatively as possible, so technically they are doing parkour as long as point A is delusion and point B is the hospital" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ozu3U0LfzE

[–]Yunjeong 1 point2 points ago

The goal is getting from point A to B as creatively quickly and efficiently as possible

[–]argh_minecraft 11 points12 points ago

Notice that even though he just face-planted, he can still breakfall decently? Dude has talent.

[–]Lycoris 11 points12 points ago

That may say fail in the corner, but I couldn't dream of jumping high enough or running fast enough to even think about doing that. So, even though he missed that's a win in my book.

[–]NecroGod 8 points9 points ago

[–]ChasingShad0ws 0 points1 point ago

What was he trying to do? Run head first into an oncoming traffic?

[–]jostler57 1 point2 points ago

For that method to work, he would have had to kicked off from the wall, too, to provide more upward and forward motion.

[–]a-dark-passenger 3 points4 points ago

"Hardcore Parko... fuck"

These walls happen to be London's most iconic parkour spot. Theyre pretty slippery sometimes and there have been more serious falls, but also some truly amazing parkour here too.

[–]SirRonaldofBurgundy 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, he parkoured that wrong.
