The discussion focuses on a specific technique for executing a forward motion known as a dive roll, which is distinct from more common methods. This method does not rely heavily on downward height but instead uses a combination of dropping into a landing and then rebounding off that landing. The technique emphasizes using the legs to absorb the impact of the landing and to propel the body forward into the dive roll, combining elements of both control and momentum.
The execution of this dive roll technique requires that the individual land in a particular way to effectively use their legs as springs. Upon landing, rather than simply rolling beneath, the individual is encouraged to push off with the front foot to launch themselves into the dive. This variation creates a different trajectory for the body, one that promotes a bouncing effect rather than a traditional roll. Consequently, the emphasis is placed on how to utilize the legs efficiently for managing impact while transitioning into the forward movement.
In practicing this technique, there’s an encouragement to try combining elements from previous iterations of rolls to master it effectively. By modifying the landing stance to allow for better propulsion off the front foot, practitioners will be able to experience the fullness of the dive roll's intended motion. As they continue to refine this skill, the aim is to find a balance between control upon landing and the subsequent forward push.
Key Points:
- The dive roll technique emphasizes rebounding off a landing instead of traditional rolling, using the legs for absorption and propulsion.
- Proper foot positioning is crucial for effective execution, as it allows for greater control and momentum during the dive transition.
- Practicing this technique involves integrating elements from different rolling styles to achieve a smoother and more controlled dive roll motion.
Demonstrate a parkour roll from a hip-height or greater drop onto concrete. Land on your feet and you must seamlessly redirect the energy of the drop back up into a dive roll to cover 5-steps (heel-to-toe) distance. You must be on your feet and jogging out of the roll to finish.
You must repeat three times over each shoulder.
Your head and knees must not come in contact with the obstacle and you must roll across one shoulder and the opposite hip.
You cannot perform a sideways roll or a gymnastics roll. This must be a diagonal roll across the back from the shoulder to the hip.
You should travel in a straight line.

5.48so I mentioned there was actually6.919another way of rolling this is not as9.4common and really it's not for the12.719dispersion aspect because you are taking16.32impact on the legs and you're rebounding20.72back out of the landing into a roll um25.56this is just a different technique it's27.519used not for huge height drop but it's31.119for sort of propelling yourself forward33.719um into a dive roll so imagine that37.04you're dropping and we said that the39.399initial trajectory of the first one was42.12down and like a curve under the rebound47.039is sort of Imagine It Drop and then49.68bounce back up and rebound back out52.719again so think of this as you're landing56.68and then pushing forward and up you're58.96trying to use your legs as sort of61.519dampeners and Springs to then push into65.199a dive roll you're not going to be able67.36to take as much impact in this method69.56because as I say your legs have to take72.52the impact to then push back out again76.4and yeah the the roll is not there this79.759type of roll is not there for that so82.68let's do this version so I'm going to85.64hop up and let's do the rebound one um90.56I'm going to land a little bit split91.92foot so I can push off that front foot94.159to do the dive so from here just drop97.28and push and you can see with that one101.32it's a drop and then I push back up and103.64out again rather than drop and scoop106.92under give that one a try combine the109.399two and see how it goes
1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000 so I mentioned there was actually 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000 another way of rolling this is not as 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000 common and really it's not for the 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:20,000 dispersion aspect because you are taking 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:25,000 impact on the legs and you're rebounding 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000 back out of the landing into a roll um 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000 this is just a different technique it's 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000 used not for huge height drop but it's 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000 for sort of propelling yourself forward 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000 um into a dive roll so imagine that 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 you're dropping and we said that the 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000 initial trajectory of the first one was 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:49,000 down and like a curve under the rebound 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000 is sort of Imagine It Drop and then 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000 bounce back up and rebound back out 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000 again so think of this as you're landing 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 and then pushing forward and up you're 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000 trying to use your legs as sort of 19 00:00:61,000 --> 00:01:06,000 dampeners and Springs to then push into 20 00:00:65,000 --> 00:01:09,000 a dive roll you're not going to be able 21 00:00:67,000 --> 00:01:12,000 to take as much impact in this method 22 00:00:69,000 --> 00:01:15,000 because as I say your legs have to take 23 00:00:72,000 --> 00:01:19,000 the impact to then push back out again 24 00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:22,000 and yeah the the roll is not there this 25 00:00:79,000 --> 00:01:24,000 type of roll is not there for that so 26 00:00:82,000 --> 00:01:29,000 let's do this version so I'm going to 27 00:00:85,000 --> 00:01:31,000 hop up and let's do the rebound one um 28 00:00:90,000 --> 00:01:33,000 I'm going to land a little bit split 29 00:00:91,000 --> 00:01:36,000 foot so I can push off that front foot 30 00:00:94,000 --> 00:01:41,000 to do the dive so from here just drop 31 00:00:97,000 --> 00:01:43,000 and push and you can see with that one 32 00:00:101,000 --> 00:01:46,000 it's a drop and then I push back up and 33 00:00:103,000 --> 00:01:48,000 out again rather than drop and scoop 34 00:00:106,000 --> 00:01:52,000 under give that one a try combine the 35 00:00:109,000 --> 00:01:53,000 two and see how it goes
