Do that one again.
Do that one again.
What you enjoy most of when free running
is when you feel the flow
you don't really have to think about what you have to do
it just happens and it becomes natural to you
The most intense moment is just before the jump
that's the moment where your fear kicks in
and you have to bring your mind and body to balance
once you have that you're calm
and strong enough to go for the jump
and do what you have to do
You train everyday, you get to a state where
a lot of movements become so easy that
you'll feel like you're floating in the air
you'll feel like you really can fight gravity
When I just started it was just a simple jump
from one curve to another
you'd felt like superman already
After seven years of training
to get the same feeling
I have to perform at a lot higher level
My city, most people they leave the house
and walk with their heads down to work
where they're on their mobile phones
and don't pay attention to what goes around them
When I walk around I'm always looking up at the rooftops
the buildings, I pay attention to every wall
because, the more the city tries to contain me
the more rails and fences they build
the more I have to use to express myself
and to make something beautiful out of it
For me, it's important that I, you know, I act fast
especially when something goes wrong and you're falling
you have to quickly grab onto something
or just always have a plan B
and be quick in your responses in your situation
A beautiful movement is
is a balance out of lots of different things
A move can be super hard and difficult
You have to land it clean and nicely
it has to look effortlessly
it has to be something creative move for it to be beautiful
It's not good enough to be good at one thing
you have to balance all things and
and combine it to make a beautiful run
with a nice beginning to an ending
When I look at a computer
it's important for me that it's really mobile
because I'm always on the go
I'm always traveling around the city
from spot to spot filming with my friends
so it's important that we can just
put the footage onto the computer
edit a quick video, look at what we did
and then carry on what we did
and we don't want to have a
a big thing in our bag that slows us down
So, really something that’s mobile
and performs well is a must for me
