Going back to the basics and completing the level 1 exam allowed me to appreciate the fundamental skills that I use to practise every single day when I first started. It's because of these beginner moves that I am now able to safely explore my world and try amazing parkour challenges. I've even taken inspirations from some of the level 1 skills and started using them in my flow line!

The hardest challenge for me was finding cool spots and obstacles to showcase the skills for you. What I really wanted to do with this exam was to present every parkour skill in as many different environments as I can so you can get inspiration and see your world in a different way.
How did I push through it? I spent a lot of time exploring, taking over a week to film this Level 1 exam. But because of this, I found really fun parkour spots that I will now take my friends to train at. WIN!!!

As a level 6 athlete showcasing my level 1 skills, I will 100% guarantee that you will continue to use every single skill on level 1 throughout your journey. I can make a massive list of all the higher level skills that needs the fundamental skills you've learnt, but... trust me, as you level up, you'll see.
My biggest wisdom I will share with you: ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ฆ
If you don't train hard and learn the basics, your future parkour self will regret it... Don't be that person.
This was super fun to do! I really enjoyed each skill and loved making this video for you all.
Keen for level 2!
