You've seen gymnasts try their hand at parkour, well what about the other way around? We challenged a group of traceurs to try to keep up with some gymnasts! These athletes take the ultimate test and see if their endurance and strength are enough to keep up!

@@zaide5897 Basically always good to be careful. But that's only a youtube video. Do as you like...
I also loved the way two of those guys were being especially good sports, with those graceful movements executed with a delightful amount of cheekiness. cute people :')
I love how the dudes ask like really targeted questions to make sure they have the movement right, like when they were asking about how extended their arms should be. It just shows how knowledgeable both groups are.
Or basic knowledge so you don’t injure yourself?
@@Umbra_J yeah but if you don't have the background knowledge to know what to ask you won't ask for specifics like they did, you'd likely ask them to repeat the first instructions and not go as targeted
@@mikiwilliams4133 If you are running fast and handspring after you can easily break your arms if you didn’t do it right thus you are left to ask for every detail to avoid injuries, no need for background knowledge. Heck, even the girl informed them about how you extended your arms before they even asked, so just as I said, basic knowledge to avoid injuries.
@@Umbra_J as someone who doesn’t perform handsprings, vault or cartwheel as most office employees, I’d say not basic knowledge.

Yess
Yesss
this guys were so pure and positive 😭 as a person who has done gymnastics in the past and knows how hard it is they did such a good job. this video was so wholesome honestly, it made me smile the entire time.
And I used to do parkour and know how hard that is. With our Orozco powers combined we could do whatever you could do in gymnastics because I sucked at parkour lol. Anyway, be well.
thank yoooou!!! this was one of the most fun days of my life!
I remember when I did gymnastics when I was 9❤️
It made me cry of jealousy at how easy it is for them on their FIRST try, I am 13 yrs old, I am still stuck at that exact level and I'm not sowing ANY sign of improvement, how can it be so easy for them, it isn't fair, please, someone HELP ME, even my 10 yr old brother is better than me, there is a literal 7 yr old in my group that is better than me, why am I so bad at this, and recently I haven't been able to go to practice and they're learning so much stuff without me and getting so much better and some of them skip practice all the time and still get good places in competitions, I have no friends there, they're all friends with each other, why, how, I don't understand, and I'm too afraid to atempt to do a back flip and many other girls in my group can allredy do rondade+double back flips, and how am I meant to catch up, I love and hate gymnastics, I've been doing since I was four, I've done 4 competitions in the past, once I even got 3rd place, why can't I do this anymore, 4 years ago I could allready do half of the stuff I am learning today, and the other halth is impossible and next year I'm stuck with the same group and the same coach and right now they're allready practicing the things we need in next year's competition and I can't even do this year's stuff well, help, help, at 8yrs old I had moree flexibility than now, please, someone, tell me what to do, my mum doesn't want me to stop gymnastics beceause she thinks I just want to go the easy way, and that even if I DID want to stop gymnastics, I would have to do one last competition, and when I finaly stop I have to do another sport, and next year I'm starting exams, and I don't know what sport I want, and I realy don't know what to do
I feel like parkour + gymnast would be an ultimate lifeform or something
i know right?? just become jesus if you do both.
k a r s
Do you know the step up films? There is a film where hip hop and Ballette dancers dance together and it reminds me a lot of that
I feel like Mike could check both of those boxes pretty easily
Wait I can do parkour and gymnastics! I think I might actually be an alien lizard person!!
That man is literally trying to do gymnastics in jeans...
...and is still rlly good 👀
Ikr
How the heck does he do that?!
*Skinny jeans. Basically leggings
Bernard Soul skinny jeans are even worse. Leggings are stretchy and jeans aren’t. Are you talking about jeggings??
I feel like if I were to learn both gymnastics and parkour I'd become one of humanity's most flexible and agile humans.
_thisconnected_ it would be harder to learn but then again in the end when you’ve mastered both and learn when to go soft and agile or when to be loose and heavy hitting it will be an advantage cause you’d be able to perform all different types of tricks and understand how to move in your environment
@@_thisconnected_ I did both of them for a long time and unless your going for highly competitive gymnastics you can easily mix both of them. It might not be strictly parkour or gymnastics but you make it your own mix. I used to do outdoor parkour but would put some gymnast flair to my moves and did beam routines outside on walls.
That’s kind of what I did. I’m more of a parkourist than a gymnast though, but yeah it’s really fun.
@@honeylilies1 omg nctzennnnn
And contortion
None of these guys are overly rude or cocky and the girls aren’t mean or making fun of them, so wholesome 😭
The fact that the guy’s instinct is to curl bc of the nature of parkour vs gymnastics tendency to stretch the shapes was so interesting. Like you can tell they’re very good at their sports, and watching them do another one was like hearing someone speak a language with a strong accent

and hes really likeable.
@@brillsmith2207 he's just pumped to try something new. I hope he actually takes up gymnastics, I think he'd be awesome!
I feel so bad when guys are uncomfortable with dancing/ certain forms of artistic expression. It makes me wonder how we traumatize boys when they’re young to think that anything girly is worthy of punishment/ ridicule that they can jump off buildings with no problem but are deeply uncomfortable with swaying their arms around.
+1
Oh rubbish. Plenty of men dance. I'm a woman but I've never felt comfortable doing anything like dancing or drama in front of people. Why do you have to turn things into 'trauma' when it's just different personalities and affects both genders the same?
@@cyflym11 girlie that’s your experience, others have it different. There are different cultures and different gender roles that don’t make sense in a lot of places and boys not dancing or showing flair is a common one in a lot of places.
@@a.blackwater3076 And the other posters haven't made assumptions? They have said that men are ridiculed and 'traumatised' for dancing, they didn't qualify it by saying 'in some cultures' or 'in my experience'. I'm not allowed to have an opinion but they are? Perhaps I don't fit the woke victim narrative well enough. There are famous male dancers, figure skaters etc in all countries, that is a fact. In some other cultures and religions women are not allowed to dance. Do you feel their 'trauma' too?
I agree with you! I am very happy these guys took it seriously and weren't really uncomfortable at all! It really highlights the differences in the two disciplines and I'm glad the guys didn't dismiss it all as a feminine thing, they respected it like a sport and treated it seriously!
They need to scream "parkourrrrrr" before every move and they'll do just fine
Parkour!parkour! Parkour!

Exactly.
Sanidhya Joshi you’re not funny just a bit of a nan joke

I think it's probably an instinct for him after probably going through narrow spaces most of his time doing parkour. It's quite scary and painful if you get grazed just because you didn't have enough space.
@@keithou4389 While this is a pretty cool take, I can full on assure you I was Naruto running on purpose xD specifically for the hype.
@@JTGallant oh rah it’s the parkour dude
@@JTGallant I love how not seriously you took that aspect of gymnastics. Like you put so much fun into it. It would have also been cool to see you try to do the whole graceful thing. But it really made me think about how aesthetic plays into gymnastics because you also put it in your movements. Just not graceful swan aesthetic but like fun pop culture aesthetic instead. It was great!
I feel like in order to fully appreciate this, we need to throw in five random people as a control group.
Me as the control: runs up to the vault, looks at it dubiously, and runs away
They will probably break their neck

I love how humble the parkour guys are.
My favourite thing between the two types is the landings. Here, the Parkour peeps are like "By any means necessary" and in the opposite video the gymnasts were constantly presenting themselves as they've been taught. I loved it either way
I love how they contrast: the gymnasts put grace into the movements whereas the parkour guys make it more combative/powerful
I know, I love how beautiful that is
It’s the reverse when the gymnasts do parkour! Gymnasts use way more force while the parkour dudes practically floated.
Parkour is more practical.
Arka Ghosh uh well like depends since you don’t go around jumping onto roofs on a daily basis lmao

As a former gymnast myself, Mike looked like a natural on the bars and vault. Glad that Jesse showed off his 'rip' after the bar routine. My coach would cut the flap of skin off, poor alcohol on it to 'kill the nerves', wrap it up with some white tape and then expect us to continue on with practice on p-bars and rings etc.

These guys are all super humble and honest at the start, recognizing they're out of their comfort zone, and not trying to be all overconfident - that's true professionalism right there and shows these guys are actually the real deal IMHO, they're also actually pretty darn good.

It was great to see both the gymnasts' support and genuine encouragement, and how good-natured and respectful the parkour experts were in return. Awesome content 👍🏽
I like how you can tell how the gymnasts focus on grace and the parkour’ers focus on technically just “making” it. I assume that’s because they’re jumping on buildings so grace isn’t their focus, keeping themselves safe is. Compared to gymnasts, they have the freedom to be in a safer environment so they can focus on these graceful, powerful routines that are encapsulating. I flipping love both sports.
I agree! Also this contrast is what makes freerunners who focus on the flow and grace even more impressive.
Pun intended?
Why don't they make a video on gymnasts performing Parkour and compare them..... Both of them are specialized for different things... They are different sports. It's like comparing cricket and baseball
@@black__ship they did make that video actually. This is a 2 part series.

The guy in the green shorts is all around pretty good. He can still be an awesome gymnast but he probably could have really gone places if he’d tried it out younger.

Please don’t spend your time nitpicking other peoples comments. There are so many better things to do.
Mack Smith he still can. He has a solid experience in flips and parkour tricks anyways he just needs that form and flexibility
But he prefers parkour.
3playLP True but we're just talking possibilities
I’d like to see him try more of the men’s gymnastics, like the pommel horse, still rings and horizontal bars. I bet they would enjoy it more also if they took out some of the flourishing that you see in women’s gymnastics.
he has seems to really enjoy gymnastics, he could do both :)
Those guys are so brave trying these things for the first time like this, even if it is similar to their parkour. But what impressed me most was their humbleness and attitude. Such nice guys! ❤️

@@jillmtompkins I mean... these were pretty basic skills for gymnastics. Nothing that difficult
@@WAGgymSuperFan sure, that's understandable, but they're saying that if he put his mind towards gymnastics practice - either in conjunction with or instead of - his parkour experience, then he might have enough raw talent & learned experience to perform as well as some advanced gymnasts. those might be basic moves but if he's performing that well at the foundational level, then he likely wouldn't need more than a few months to a couple of years to master higher gymnastics elements. i think that'd be amazing to see!
