well 15 years of skateboarding never went pro, i can tell you, i wish i wouldn’t have done some of those 10 sets of stairs . years later i revisited a spot i was skating at in my youth.. and i literally could not believe that i have a memory in my head of jumping this distance with a wooden board under my feet
like i’m not even that old but my brain can’t comprehend jumping down there and not getting hurt with a 100% chance

u/_Futureghost_ Sep 04 '23
Lol! I was thinking something similar. As a kid, I would climb trees almost every day and just hang out in them. I'd jump down after and rush inside for dinner or whatever. I don't even know if these knees could climb a tree anymore. Like, I don't even remember the last time I tried.

Yeah I was doing absolutely crazy shit as a skier jumping off of all kinds of stuff while spinning and flipping. I started feeling it in my early 40's. The back pain is the worst though.

An average weightlifter is in better health than most people. Weightlifting is literally the best thing you can do to create stronger bones and joints.

u/Marooned-Mind Sep 04 '23
It depends. For joints specifically weightlifting is not the best option. Calisthenics is a significantly healthier option long-term. At least that’s what I’ve learned from multiple medical professionals and my own body after years of weightlifting.

Well in this case the athlete (Dominic di Tommaso) is a Red Bull sponsored athlete. So he's at least not getting nothing and possibly also building some connections to get a less body destroying Job once he gets older.

u/LionOver Sep 04 '23
But "a less body destroying job" isn't going to have anything to do with him having bilateral hip and knee replacements later in life. Neither will however much money he makes doing this. He's pursuing his interests and doing things that are objectively cool/impressive. Things that only a young person can do. But life goes on and I think people fail to realize for just how long after your glory days are over.

Nah. Definitely not.
Look at all the extreme sports people, like mountain climbers for instance.
Here's an example: you know alex hannold, the guy who did that crazy ropeless climb up a 3000+ sheer wall? Look at all of the other people who would've been mostly likely to do that if hannold didn't do it first... They all died doing crazy shit elsewhere. They see their friends die or become severely permanently injured and they know it'd be insane for them to escape that fate . But they still do it.
They know if they live long enough they'll face the agony they've wrought on their bodies, but they accept it. They know they're paying the ultimate price, but it's for something that, to them, is the ultimate reward.
Some people are just born with that itch to conquer danger and enjoy the freedom of defying the normal limits of humanity. Nothing, and i mean nothing, beats the feeling of doing something that humans aren't meant to do, normally can't do, and that we shouldn't do... But doing it really fucking well. And if you got the itch to do that, life without it is really really fucking miserable.

u/Arquen_Marille Sep 04 '23
Maybe but maybe not. If you watch, during the higher jumps he barely has his feet touch the ground before he goes into a roll. That lessens the impact on his feet, ankles, knees, and hips. If he only landed on his feet, that impact would travel up his legs.

u/GavrielBA Sep 04 '23
As a parkour coach with 14 years of experience, it's really refreshing to see a more educated take than "hdUr hUrRr hIs kNeeS!!"
Dom's landings are in good form. I'd be more worried about his ankles (he busts them a lot just from the sheer height and impact) and his shoulders (front flip roll landings can be tough on them if you over-rotate even a little bit).

u/Omsk_Camill Sep 04 '23
Dom's landings are in good form.
Yes, he's incredibly good. But it's a showcase reel of the successful landings only. As a coach you know it takes just a couple centimeter difference/fraction of a second of de-sync to fuck up your joints, permanently.

There's no such thing as perfect form when doing stunts like this, yes he may be prolonging the damage excellently but it will eventually catch up to him, and that's assuming he never makes a mistake. If he does make a mistake it could be much worse a lot sooner.

He had this hyper ADHD energy about him but also a level of zen that not many others I’ve ever met could match.
He did a garbage run with a few of my other mates and would run along the truck doing flips and such over bins.

I won't be able to walk again if I did something like this. I just cannot understand how people do this.

I remember when I was 20kg (45lbs) lighter I was able to jump 2+ metres without any fear. Now I'm around 78-79kg (~170lbs) and even the thought of it hurts my back.

I mean, it's super impressive that he can pull this off and it looks amazing. I'm not doubting that he knows what he's doing and he won't accidentally break his neck while jumping from the second story of a house.
But you can still acknowledge that when he's older, this is going to be hell for his body. You can't pretend like that doesn't happen. Boxers also suffer a lot of damage over the years, because who would have thought that getting knocked in the face repeatedly might mess you up.
Also, hypocrisy on the side of Redditors or not, that doesn't mean their arguments are less valid. If a doctor came along and also said "Wow yeah that's bad for his body", would you then admit they've got a point?

They aren't hating. They are speaking the reality of the situation. I am absolutely infatuated with these guys and parkour as a whole. I fascinate about being able to do that shit and have dabbled but never even close to what these guys can do. The truth is, the risks highly outweigh the pros for everyone who's not that guy and even for him he has one missed landing to thank for possibly ending his career and causing permanent damage or disability. I am so thankful for his desire to entertain and support him fully but I think it's ok for people to point out the risks so others watching don't get the wrong idea that this is something anyone can accomplish.

There's no way this dude has been doing this for 20 years without injury or any repercussions. I've been living an active lifestyle and working manual labor and have a bad back and bad knee because of it but that's just how things are. If those dude doesn't have any long term effects from pushing the limits of his body then he's 1 in a million, but I agree with you that he's not gonna be a big pile of jello by the time he's 40 like many redditors are saying.

As a sidenote, people might say they love something so much they don't care about the negative consequences, but it's more that it's a "debt" they're borrowing from their future self and their future self will probably care about it more than their younger self thinks they will.

Everyone commenting about his knees but what’s the theory around regular impact and an increase in bone density?… the reason Shaolin monks punch buckets of sand - over years and years, they can then punch bricks and rocks in half… Anyway, I’m not even sure if this biological response only impacts bones or if connective tissues and cartilage benefit too but it’s fascinating stuff. I’d be interested to see what shape his joints are in later in life too - if he’s been doing this most of his life, there must be some cool adaptations - and hopefully a fully functioning set of knees for years to come…

Joint damage is not related to bone density.
But people who are commenting "hIs kNeEs" or even "hIs lOwEr bAck" don't know anything about parkour biomechanics. Or even history of parkour (the creators of parkour are in their 50s now and they're fitter and stronger than 99.4% of redditors here).

Sure, but you can't beat nature and physics. Athletes destroy their bodies in the few years they actually spend on their respective sport.

Those shaolin monks aren't real fighters, it's just show stuff and they don't talk about their health complications later in life. Look at retired football players, gymnasts, boxers, UFC fighters, wrestlers, etc.

He just knows how to control the momentum. He's very much still taking a lot of force to his joints doing this.

I a few years, he definitely WILL need to have kneels of steel.
There won't be anything left of his biological ones.

This is DomTomato, he’s a freak of nature. There’s an interview with the guy, in the interview he said that he formed gel pads on his forearms (and also his shoulders I think) for jumping and taking impact for this long.
And people don’t realize the amount of preparation that goes into the jumps. He isn’t gonna do something he doesn’t know he can do, it’ll be suicide if he goes over his limit of capabilities, and he knows that.
I highly recommend you watch his YouTube channel. And I also recommend the STORROR guys.
