Redemption âď¸
3 years ago I had a very scary fail doing this kong pre dive kong. Yesterday, I finally got the redemption, It was time to get this one done, I know what went wrong last time, I was worried about the next jump so ended up not looking at where I was going to land.
This time I took my time and prep everything well, was scary to unlock the kong pre again but once I did It just realize how easy It was. The scary part was adding the dive kong after. Very happy to tick this jump off, specially after having a bail before â
Cheers everyone for the support â¤ď¸

Dreams come true! Today I visit the city where Parkour was born, Lisses, with my family on holidays. The weather was very bad and It was raining a lot so I thouth It wasnât possible to do It, but the rain stopped and I went there just to visit and check the gap⌠And It wasnât that wet, so I began to actually consider doing It. Itâs the most iconic gap in Parkour and I really wanted to do It, so, after looking at It a couple times I did It! The airtime felt lovely and the impact wasnât that bad eventhough my ankle is still not 100% đŞ
Also met @adri.sbc there, thanks for the support bro đ¤đ¤
@idk.gps on the camera and supporting me a lot, cheers bro â¤ď¸
Up we go đ¤
Really enjoyed the build up of this ascent. Would love to get the top bit smoother but the roof was too wet.
Copying @momo.aapk and @johan.frystyk , good find đ¤
đąthanks @marcio.filipee
After almost 10 years of training, here are a few things Iâve learned about failing:
1. Every skill is built on guesses⌠and corrections
If youâre learning, youâre wrong most of the time
2. Failure is just really honest feedback
Every miss shows you something you couldnât see before
3. Our sport teaches our body how to react when things go off plan by developing our instincts and reaction time
4. Learning to fail safely decreases the risk when we donât make a jump
Any cool insights you wanna share?
Parkour taught me to voluntarily put myself in scary situations and figure out ways to overcome adversity and deal with fear. Even though Iâve been injured and recovering, I try to apply the same principles in life đ§
One thing I noticed is that my mindset in parkour still progressed even when I wasnât training, because the mentality you build is transversal to everything. Can you relate?
Looking forward to pushing myself 100% once my body catches up.
Great day in vigo with great people, thanks @marcio.filipee and @red_evt for filmingđ
After I herniated a disc, doctors told me I should quit parkour.
Something I learned through this process:
Every time I walked into a clinic and mentioned a herniated disc, the first reaction was always shock âYouâre only 21â.
I understand where that comes from, but when youâre the one dealing with the injury, that reaction doesnât really bring much reassurance. Youâre already aware of what youâre going through and suffering the consequences.
Another thing that surprised me was how quickly some doctors told me I was not gonna be able to train parkour again and how naturally that opinion was expressed, even though I hadnât asked for it. I respect their expertise, but I donât think itâs their place to decide whether I should stop doing something that matters so much to me, specially in such an early stage of recovering. What I needed most was guidance on whether they could help me recover and move forward.
What do you think?
These are the jumps I can share from 2025 so far.
The best ones are being saved for the project I was working on.
The goal is to release it once my recovery is complete, when my body feels healthy again and I know I can push myself to a level Iâm proud of.
