Parkour Roll
Parkour roll — basic roll over your shoulder which carried out in completely different situations after landing from different heights. The height for each tracer is individual because of his skills and physical strength. Roll is used to relieve the load after landing and while moving you can use roll to overcome the obstacle or elevation to maintain the momentum and fluid motion at high altitudes.
There are plenty of performance rolling variations, feet settings, rapids and the transitions into running, which can be applied to various surfaces and heights. There are different rolls which are used in martial arts, gymnastics, parachuting and so on. Each has its own specific characteristics and skills of its execution. Parkour roll has significant differences from the others. Do not hurry to jump from the 3-meter height, if you know how to roll on a flat surface. You hurrying can play with you a malicious joke.
There are a lot of mistakes that tracers do:
- Remember that the feet during landing should always look straight forwards!!! It will reduce the possibility to get injury from twisting an ankle. Landing only on your balls, not on the heel, otherwise the consequences can be dire.
- Knees should bend in parallel, not overwhelm or twist the knee joints inside! It may cause twisting injury of pinch medial meniscus and tear ligaments. Do not land on your straight knees, in this case you can severely injure the lateral meniscus. The angle flexion of the knee depends on the height and physical abilities of the tracer, generally accepted that the optimal angle of knee flexion – 90 degrees.
- While jumping from the height, you should not overwhelm your shoulders and not stay them back, in this case the whole body weight will be transferred on your legs and back.Do not put your shoulders too forward,otherwise you will not have an opportunity to screw in tim. Drop forwards, behind your legs and touch the ground with your hands first, to secure yourself. Roll forwards your front shoulder and down to the opposite hip. Do not overwhelm your side and meet the surface with the lateral part of your shoulder, in such case you can be easily get injured (shoulder injuries and shoulder joint, compression fractures of the clavicle, dislocation of varying degrees, complete rupture of ligaments in the acromion-yclavicular joints, accompanied by a lengthy process of treatment and rehabilitation).
- Continue rolling and help to rise with the help of your hands from the surface. The supporting leg must not bend (set) under you,in this case it is easy to twist the ankle and knee. Guiding leg looks forward and bearing at an angle of 45 degrees.
In order to make a perfect roll practice more often do not try to jump from great heights from the start. It takes many years to do it without harming your health. Take time to develop skills in using roll dynamically, incremental and it will bear fruit in the future. This will help you to develop, rather than reduce your potential and to minimize harm to yourself. Small mistakes can be of expensive cost.
