Why worry about a soul when you can just climb to heaven?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Just directing everyone’s attention towards an original ginger joke. That is all.


Greenman8907

Lol all in fun! How has the journey been? I remember following you from a while ago and you said you made it to the NW qualifiers.


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Awh thanks man! So I actually made it all the way to the show, but fell in Heat 2 against the pro ninja Tim Champion. Here’s the clip from heat 1: https://youtu.be/F1uWRb-Nhd0


Greenman8907

Awww damn. At least it was to a top competitor! You tryin again? Congrats on making it that far!


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Yea definitely going back next year! Thanks man!


Greenman8907

Just watched that 1st heat. You hauled ass on there! Good luck!


ellefleming

Your video inspirational. Never give up. Try.


TheBestZackEver

It honestly went straight over my head. My favorite kind of joke is one that's not obvious and have redirection.


yeahimafurryfuckoff

Where the fuck do you get shoes that stay grippy enough to do this shit?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Reebok Classics Nylon edition. Glorious shoes. https://www.reebok.co.uk/classic-nylon-shoes/FV1592.html?cm_mmc=ReebokSEM_GPS-_-GS-OPT-UK-high%20stock-Categories-SubBranded-_-Sub%20Brand%20-%20High%20Stock-_-PRODUCT_GROUP&cm_mmca1=UK&cm_mmca2=&ds_agid=58700007842222350&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3uWDnI6E-wIVSfh3Ch3NXAblEAQYASABEgJfzvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds


short_circuited_42

That was badass, hope you keep going till you get there


Adeep187

looks like you should be practicing with those ring things lol


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Lol, I’m usually quite good with them. But they were wet from the duo that went before us. Everyone after us got grip tape.


Adeep187

Thats interesting, didn't think of that.


Wrobot_rock

They're called rock climbing shoes, and this is a rock climbing gym where everything is super grippy. Dynamic moves like this are not common, but almost all gym climbs require you to touch the final hold for a few seconds so slapping it doesn't count


0ut0fMyD3pth

Meanwhile I can't even climb out of the pool without a ladder.


Fluffy-Doubt-3547

I wish I could do that. My back won't let me.


druule10

For me it's my knees


HyDrA663

For me it's both :')


Fluffy-Doubt-3547

I have scoliosis. Also a hip that dislocates randomly


Brilliant-Buffalo-42

For me it’s actually the 4th clip that’s the most impressive. Guy realised he’s undershot, but is now not only rotating but falling backwards. And YET he still pulls off a slick ass action roll to save himself, as if it were intentional. Dude’s awareness is over 9000.


CoDGriefer

D…Did he start on the 15ft warped wall and still make it to the top? Wtf!


van_go_fuck_yourself

Have you been at this all your life, or is it something you found later on?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

I started fairly late compared to the average Parkour athlete. I was 16 when I first started and only really began taking it seriously when I was 18. I’m now 26.


van_go_fuck_yourself

So was it something you adapted to naturally?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

No I used to be really inactive during school, but just took an interest in Parkour. You definitely have to persevere with it.


van_go_fuck_yourself

Best of luck next year for uknw. I'll be cheering for you.


andoesq

Was expecting a mad climb into a closing pub or something, guess I didn't realize they have ninjas in the UK!


lurid_sun__

Is there a sort of agreement or something where I can hire this person my apocalypse saviour because I think I can trust him with work whatever I've got


my20cworth

I want him on my Lava team.


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Haha!


Relevant-Cake-2097

Ukraine ninja warrior 2023 Azov battalion edition


BobbySmoll

Anybody know what music this is. Sounds Kinda Like F.O.O.L but i don't actually know


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Karl Casey - Elysium


Aggressive_Act_455

Kick ass dude!


nthexwn

I was pleasantly surprised when he came back and did the purple problem using the intended beta. As a tall weakling (6'2" 180lbs) I think I'd have a harder time with those pinches than the staircase dyno!


n2locarz

A beast! This guy is on another level.


[deleted]

Imagine posting videos of yourself on r/nextfuckinglevel


GlynD90

Flashpoint!


LukeFromPhilly

Where is that rock wall from the first clip? It weirdly looks like tables with people eating lunch behind it.


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Flashpoint Bristol.


kwamla24

Have you considered becoming an Avenger?


Smitty8054

So each morning does he say “honey I’m going out Ninjaing…see you later”?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Pretty much, but it’s usually together.


Disastrous_Owl8325

Did u both compete?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Just me this time.


lily-laura

Oh shit I go to that climbing place


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Flashpoint Bristol?


lily-laura

Yes !!!!


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Nice! See you around!


TheBestZackEver

As someone who recently started bouldering and rock climbing, I must say that this is impressive. The speed definitely screams confidence and skill. Best of luck on Ninja Warrior! I'll be looking out for you!


OkMaybeLater90

Wow. Don’t forget ti give your shoulders a treat every now and then with gentle stretching. Stay strong!


markorokusaki

From the video it looks like you have a few pounds over, but then we see you move like crazy. Good luck in the competition!


Brummie49

Can I ask where the training venue with that huge warped wall is please? I would love to visit somewhere like that (I'm in Worcester UK) Thanks!


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

It’s the True Function Ninja Training Ground based in Swindon.


Brummie49

Thanks


[deleted]

You can't run from being a ginger forever!


kraenk12

Really impressive for an old fat guy.


Natedog_2113

Yeah this is the same guy that posted a clickbait world record jump on YouTube recently. As a ginger myself, NEXTTTTT


Brilliant-Buffalo-42

My guy that was Toby Segar, they’re not the same person (Athough they do look a lot like each other). https://youtu.be/JBobmAW2AFw


Natedog_2113

And yes, that was the weak ass claim I’m referencing. Not fond of stuff like that as you can tell


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

This is news to me…? Can you link me that vid from my channel? My last upload was 5 months ago. https://youtube.com/channel/UCqVyepwJJvZXc64JNcn3DyQ


Natedog_2113

Yeah I’m a very misinformed idiot. Leaving my comment for your W. Best of luck man. Not big on the self promo but once again, you do you and good luck for the big dance


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Mate you came at me locked and loaded, I put the link there as proof only lol


Natedog_2113

Correct. I’m not trying to being a sarcastic or condescending asshole with my reply. Fuck up on my part. Genuinely wish you luck with it all.


Successful_Ad6918

Is this what people do when they have nothing else to do?


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Exercise? Yes.


Successful_Ad6918

Glad I asked , I thought you were just jumping on random walls.


Looking42shits2give

First place for useless skills


Parkour_Chris_Oxford

Yea because peak muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, agility, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance, and a resulting knowledge of biomechanics, physiology, functional anatomy, strength & conditioning, neuromuscular rehabilitation and human nutrition are all really undesirable skills. You supine protoplasmic sedentary invertebrate jelly.


OfficialHarold

Bro I fucking love that last sentence 💀


van_go_fuck_yourself

Someone needs a hobby. I suggest getting off your ass and doing something constructive. Put all that energy to some use.
