How Do You Roll In Parkour/Free Running?
• Learn the movements. Practice on soft ground first, such as a mattress or grass. • To start (basic roll): • Bend down. • Put your hand on the ground, a little to the opposite side you are rolling. • Now, tuck your head to the opposite side and push forward rolling on your shoulder, diagonally across your back (left shoulder to lower-right back or right shoulder to lower-left back). • Try to curl into a ball while rolling. • After that, put your knee on the ground or stand up directly with two feet. • When you feel like you learned it, find a jump. Again, begin with a soft surface. • Start small, don’t go crazy and want to jump off of something that’s ten feet tall. Try with something about three feet tall. Make sure that you can launch yourself off of it though; it’s safer to try small, but going fast will apply what you’ll feel from a higher fall. • Jump up and forwards, bringing your knees to your chest and your hands up. After you jump, make sure to plot out your landing. • Beginn
