@rmcentush It really begs the question where are the aliens? Because you kind of have to expect one of them would have done this by now, and if so we’d see it. But we don’t. So maybe we really are the first. The only other explanations involve spirituality or different forms of technology.
Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of fails in the Parkour world. This is a tough one from from Ryan Contreras.
This is a jump we’ve seen done by a few amazing athletes, and the sand usually works as an amazing crash mat. But this was Ryan’s SECOND attempt at this that day, and after the first attempt he moved some of the sand so it was already compressed.
He broke a bone in his foot and dislocated another.
Craziest save we've ever seen 🤯
Logan Rodriguez, shown here, was going for a routine kong with a big drop (2x his PR at the time). If you slow down the video you'll see his left hand miss the plant entirely, and he thus lost his balance and was in route to likely land on his head or back. But somehow he corrected mid-air.
Logan is highly trained in flipping and said in an interview later that he didn't remember anything going through his head as he was falling.
"I think my body was mostly on autopilot."
Craziest of all, 6 minutes later he did the jump again as originally intended. He said that landing had MORE impact that this one which speaks to the evolution of purposefully doing flips during big drops.
Tree jumping. Kind of like Parkour. Kind of not. Khyler Vick, shown here, is one of only two people we’ve ever seen take it seriously, and Vick is the only one we’ve seen take it to the extreme.
What do you think? Would you try it?
Flipping the LYON25 on October 25, 2025.
A rough landing as always (we’ve never seen this done in a smooth way. It’s a big jump to a hard surface). But a strong jump nonetheless.
Performed by Alan R. One of the few we’ve seen do it.
