Learning Parkour

I've been learning some basics and a touch more of some basics with parkour the past few days. I started feeling comfortable with my landings and rolls from short distances so I decided to attempt about a 10' land and roll. Went really well actually. Landed correctly and had a good roll; probably about the 3rd or 4th time doing that I had a strange roll, which I think I used my back a bit more than roll from my shoulder to the opposite corner of my lower back, so that felt kinda funky, but nothing that would seriously hurt it.

Today I worked on landings, rolls and precision jumps. The latter of those is a lot harder than looks, even on flat ground. Landing on the balls of your feet and keeping balance is pretty sick. I'll just have to keep up with the practicing though. It's been fun and I hope to continue it soon.

I'm looking to try a run and jump, but I don't want to try that off 10' yet. I'm hoping I can get something smaller to try that with first.
