Out of all the things I've tried for this channel so far: this is the one where I've thought "I want to keep doing this". Thanks to everyone at Access Parkour: this was so much fun, and if I ever have some spare time, I may well take this up...
-
Tom: "I don't think I've ever looked cool in my life" John: "That seems possible"
-
"I'm tempted to say, one more try." "... No. Because that one more try is the most likely to hurt you." Feel like that particular moment is applicable to a LOT of things and I should remember that.
-
I haven't realized how much I need a mild mannered Scottish instructor for everything in my life.
-
I know I'm late to the party, but from one instructor to another, I love the fact he put a firm "No" on the one more try thing. It's hard to say no to people, we don't like to dissapoint or upset. Well done.
-
We had an absolute treat making this video! Thanks so much to Tom and the team for being so enthusiastic and helping us show parkour is a lot more accessible than you might think… Make sure you come and say hi if you’re ever back in Edinburgh!
-
Former parkour instructor - I love everything about this. Slow progressions, mindset building, confidence inspiring, and just having a lot of fun. Perfect instruction, and a great video!
-
I LOVE how Tom is invited to do a physical sport in a proper place and he goes dressed in the classic jeans and red tshirt I love you tom haha
-
Scott: "one more try?" Instructor : "no" Mad respect
-
The funniest thing about Tom learning all these physical skills on this channel is that he's always, unfailingly, doing it in the trademark jeans and t-shirt.
-
The advice of no more 'one more go' is great advice. At my peak of doing parkour, one more go was what tore my ACL and caused more knee problems further down the line
-
I love how, when Tom says "I'm tempted to say one more try" the instructor just says "No. 'cause that one more try is the most likely to hurt you".
-
Learning to say no to that "one more try" is so important not just to avoid physical injuries but wasting time mentally fatiguing yourself instead of taking a break. Props to Hedge for being an excellent teacher.
-
This man knows he is going to do a sporting exercise and still shows up wearing jeans. Love it
-
I once read that it would be nice to see a layman compete in the olympics to get a measure of how talented athletes really can be. While these things featured on Tom Scott Plus aren't the olympics, it's still stuff I'd never have the guts to try, but Tom does it. Tom does it for us.
-
4:55 it's lovely seeing the mental transition from "I can't do that." to "I just did that!" Seeing you challenge yourself physically was inspiring and I hope you stick with the physical challenges in future videos
-
Tom: "I'm going to fly a plane blindfolded!" Also Tom: "This bar is... feeling higher than it looks from down there..."
-
The way the instructor just shuts him down to avoid injuries is admirable. He's a keeper, Tom.
-
The sheer joy in his voice and body language when he landed that drop. "YES!" FISTBUMPS THE AIR
-
Tom’s willingness to try new things, the confidence to put himself out of his comfort zone on camera, and Hedge’s assertiveness and clear regard for safety and boundary-setting quite honestly brought me to tears. Good on the both of you for showcasing that level of trust in each other and yourselves. You can trust an expert to guide you to safety and surprise you with your own capability, but you are an expert on yourself as well.
