    Very well crafted. The acting, the dialouge, the cinematography, great job.

    I was actually recently thinking about making a post about how I always feel like my next pk video might be my last, and that whenever i train i feel this sense that all my progress and peak has already happened and its in the past. like every time i train its a weird nostalgia. But i kinda unpacked that recently and feel a lot of my conclusions were very similiar to this video, which is heart-warming to see! Really respect the effort you put into this Joshua, i don't wanna call it acting cause it felt quite real in its intent of reflecting your reality, but i thought the acting was considerately and carefully meshed into the video and told you purpose really well! The shots were also all really pretty

      I know exactly what you mean. I don't know if you've seen the movie "Her" but there's a part where the main character says "sometimes i feel like I've already felt everything I'm gonna feel, and everything else will just be lesser versions of that." That's past nostalgia of course, but I have found my brain veering in that direction sometimes, and then that results in me just cancelling out avenues for new experiences, even subconsciously.
      Thank you so very much for watching brother, and I'm sorry for the late reply. I'm going to be moving to New York in a couple days, and would you believe it, I've procrastinated on most of my preparation up til the midnight hour hahaha.

    This was a refreshing new direction when it comes to parkour films. Very relevant topic that usually seems to get overshadowed by the hype of other things. Hopefully more eyes get to see this reintroducing this topic to the community. Well done to you and your team for making this film happen! 👏

      Jordan, thank you so much for watching and for sharing your comment. It's certainly a balance, I find myself oftentimes brooding and needing to remind myself often to take things less seriously and be open and excited for whatever comes my way. Thank you again!

    This is something that I think we all have in the back of our mind as parkour athletes that we always put off. I completely understand and empathize with where you’re coming from I love you and this really hit close to home

    Conocí la versión de Joshua que hace Parkour, una versión fuerte e inteligente a mi perspectiva. Es de personas fuertes compartir sentimientos verdaderos y eso te hace más fuerte.
    Te mando un fuerte abrazo hermano, algún día volveremos a coincidir 🙌

      Lo siento por respuesta muy tarde hermano. Muchas gracias por verte y por decir estas cosas. Me importa mucho. Te extraño y quiero darte un gran abrazo támbien. Estoy moviendo a Nueva York in dos días. Si quieres viajar, mi apartamiento es su apartamiento. Espero que reunirnos en los años siguientes.
