Levi Meeuwenberg is considered to be one of the most amazing and skillful traceurs in the United States if not the world.  He was among the athletes that I met down at American Ninja Warrior 2.  Of course you all know that I will be writing about my experience down there shortly, and of course I’ve already sacrificed some sleep doing research on American Ninja Warrior 2 & American Ninja Challege videos on YouTube to try to give you guys a better idea of the great bunch of fellows that I met down there.  While digging up the videos, I stumbled back upon Levi’s old parkour shoulder roll tutorial.  This video is one of my all-time favoirite parkour tutorials.  It is incredibly technical yet lucid, fun and light-hearted, kind of like the guy who made it who’s also known as “SkyNative”.  Very appropriate alias.  (You can check out his website at www.SkyNative.com.)   I swore that I had posted it on our blog back in 2009, but when I did a search for it, I couldn’t find it.  In any case, even if I did, it would deserve a reappearance especially considering how shoulder rolls are among the most useful movements to master in parkour and how professionally done the piece is.  I know that Aero has some issues with this tutorial, but it still remains one of my favorites.  (Remember that as Levi says, this is not a begining parkour roll tutorial.  It’s about advanced techniques and if you haven’t practiced them considerably, well, there is always the CFM foundations PK-1 private to get you started on our parkour classes.)  More on American Ninja Warrior 2 later this week.  Enjoy:
