Big thanks to Hannah to give Toby and Johnny a stage here. It was so interesting to hear their thoughts and watch the interactions. Glad Toby got it in the end.
Johnny's mind truly needs to be studied lol. Every time Toby came off the wall, i was like surely Johnny doesn't have another tip, and he does and its more insane than the last
@@Crazyoldman84 See, I felt that way at first too, but after a bit I realized he knows what the fuck he's talking about. He's just very eccentric about it.
Johnny would swiftly get thrown into a smooth and high walled escape pit so he can banter with himself down there while the Storror team get some actual training done. Then install a fixed roof on the pit for good measure
OH, that is an AWESOME image, hell yes, the chaos energy those two would generate, the intense mixture of individualistic 'ways' bouncing off each other. Now THAT would be a "buddy movie" to beat all buddy movies. Callum and Johnny on the run together thru Brighton rooftopscapes that are somehow mixed with Peak District rock formations from some rule obsessed copper turned assassin.
So glad Toby got it in the end! As a more static climber, it’s great to see people do dynamic stuff and get some tips from them. Even if I don’t know what Johnny Dawes is talking about most of the time 😄
15:28 "New failure... very auspicious." Just beautiful wisdom and insight into a particular way of seeing the process and probably all of life. These two together are "vibe gold" - respect, enjoyment, skill, experience, fun, proper listening - wonderful content.
wait the conversation about fear/commitment that lead to "two grannies on the train" was so inspiring... I loved the editing with Toby's attempts +their dynamic conversation. Really really good stuff!
love the fact that toby knew what johny was on about, alot of younger people might think he's just waffeling weird stuff, but he knows what goes into performing at the limit, what you need to do to dial it in. Absolute Legend.
A big thank you to Toby and Johnny for their time - and their enthusiasm to try out our slightly unusual idea to bring them together to set boulders. If you haven’t seen part one yet, I’d recommend checking it out for more stories, falls, and unexpected moves. We really enjoyed the playful movement, and it turned out as funny as we imagined, credit to Toby and Johnny who were meeting for the first time on the day.
Johnny has such a beautiful and unique way of visualising and manifesting his movement with sound and imagery and metaphor. It’s so inspiring to see such a wildly creative mind and artistic intuition put into a hyper-technical movement sport like climbing, even in the way he moves and experiments with movement is so spontaneous and free. An absolute gem of a guest, and it pairs so brilliantly with the ethos of parkour and Toby’s own approach to moving…thanks for making this happen!!!
@@Crazyoldman84 it makes all the sense, its just very abstract. that part if thinking is hugely important for certain performances and also only for certain people. its basically building a scaffolding out of associations to support the very technical and sober part of a sport. its very interesting if you just dont stonewall it, simply because its excentric/unorthodox. as someone who likes to push my performance to a very high standard i know exactly where he comes from. its fun to think like that too, goofing around in a productive way is very valueable, if you believe it or not.
Watching toby set his own boulder and fail it tons of times really fits his style :D "This is hard but I think it can be done so let me work on it until I do it" such a badass.
As a certified Old Fart I can remember watching Stone Monkey on a dodgy VHS far too many times. There was an electronic version floating around, but for some reason the footage of the Quarryman didn't have Zappa as the music and it did my head in. Seeing Johnny still bouncing and smiling makes me happy. Thanks Hannah.
You didn't say much in this video Hannah - hope you didn't feel out of place! Very cool video though, love Toby and Johnny certainly has some interesting perspectives
Imagine Johnny in his prime in any of the videos with Toby! ❤ As amazing as it is to see him be this good at his age, if we could watch them both climb together in their prime would be amazing!!!!love these videos!!❤
It would be cool to see Toby collaborate with Anton Fomenko. They both seem really dedicated to learning moves, and with Anton's background in Ninja Warrior, they could create some amazing stuff together.
Really glad to hear it. We had a lot of fun making these ones - great to work with Toby and Johnny and get to witness firsthand the movement magic that happens between them 🥲
Johnny's advice can be fun, psychologically motivating and even insightful for some people, but yeah, in this case, Toby already has his own process, and he's one of the best at it, it's a very unique skill; very few people can do 100+ attempts on a move, and keep tuning in more and more into it, improving with each attempt. But Toby has that incredible ability. That's why, specially in parkour, he can pull off incredible chains of dynamic high power moves, where most other experienced / pro athletes would barely be able to pull one of the moves in isolation. So, for those that know about it, Johnny rambling on about that when that's literally Toby's superpower is kinda comical. Or people in the comments section thinking it was Johnny's advice what made the send possible.
My little group of climbing friends were gifted a Stone Monkey DVD after a lesson we had with Johnny and watching his cometary is easily one of the best ways to spend an evening!! He's such a guenuinelly interesting man. Him saying "I'm not climbing very well at the moment" and then watching him wonder up a V9 was icing on the cake
Do it! You're probably not allowed to bolt holds into the wall at your gym, but maybe there's a kilter/moon/tension board? Or a spraywall? Or even just a part of the wall where there's a lot of problems, just mix and match the holds to make a boulder.
Toby might not be at his prime but he's definitely at his peak! IMHO he's the most well-rounder (parkour) athlete, he can just it all. His parkour looks so effortless the last few years. Dom is very explosive and just sends it, Joe is a daredevil and Benj is just so technical and precise. But wolverine here, he's got all that and more in his arsenal.
Johnny seems like one of those guys who can explain something in the most ridiculous way, yet you understand exactly what he means. I wouldn't be surprised if he could do a 30 minute speech of just random noises, and everyone would walk away with a general understanding of what he was waffling about.
There are definitely various ways of describing the introspection of flow state. For me, just before I send it, my mind becomes blank and there's probably pre-emptively some adrenaline being released as I feel my focus increase rapidly. I just do it and succeed but have no idea how I did it. The mind is something.
Will there be a series of videos? Because the description was talking about 5 boulders and I only saw the one, a gorgeous one, but I would have watched toby climb a few more =D. Also why did you only show one of your try?
So has Nathan been forgiven for his betrayal now? 😂 I saw Mike in the climbing hangar and we had a wee chuckle about it (he had nothing but praise for you btw)
Thanks! We‘be been rushing around to find fast internet at Frankfurt Airport - hence the slightly late upload - but, now we’re fully relaxed and on our way back to the UK from a week away :)
Feel like Toby could have done step, step, left hand on the red beside the green. Then step up, right hand. And the left hand on red could help him stay closer to the wall before the final jump.
Hannah, I came to these videos to watch Toby, but I ended up gaining more respect for you as you sit there and let these two idiots make noises at each other and play on a climbing wall 🤣
hmm, less force on the jump, wait for knee to bend more and then with less power stand up, also foot position as far to left as possible to stand up and jump at a last second, thats what i saw i think :D
Big thanks to Hannah to give Toby and Johnny a stage here. It was so interesting to hear their thoughts and watch the interactions. Glad Toby got it in the end.
"Two grannies on the train" is f***ing brilliant--a genuinely gorgeous description of a headspace for performance
this was my biggest takeaway from the video too. really thought provoking stuff out of this johnny fellow’s mind
Johnny's mind truly needs to be studied lol. Every time Toby came off the wall, i was like surely Johnny doesn't have another tip, and he does and its more insane than the last
He appears to have a deep interest in sport psychology. I'm not sure he would describe it as such.
What’s your mother’s maiden name?
I love this duo of Toby and Johny
Dream team
He's annoying
@@Crazyoldman84 fr
@Crazyoldman84 which one?
@@Crazyoldman84 See, I felt that way at first too, but after a bit I realized he knows what the fuck he's talking about. He's just very eccentric about it.
I can only imagine what would happen if the rest of the team, especially callum, was exposed to this man ahahahaha

not afraid of pushing the body on a session while taking it not seriously, and the joy of the session #life_goals

Glad you like em' :)

you should meet me, then
sounds like nonsense i dont get it at all
He seems like a nice guy but he talks nonsense.

I have been waiting for part 2 for so long
Hoping Toby becomes a regular guest on the channel!
Watching toby set his own boulder and fail it tons of times really fits his style :D "This is hard but I think it can be done so let me work on it until I do it" such a badass.
Johnny trully must have Synesthesia its crazy the way he associates, shapes sounds to actions and words. Fascinating

As amazing as it is to see him be this good at his age, if we could watch them both climb together in their prime would be amazing!!!!love these videos!!❤
Plenty of old videos of Dawes to be found
That was so amazing seeing all of the effort that went into the final send! Johnny is absolutely amazing at helping others conceptualize movement
Finally part 2!!!! Been so excited for this since the first one!
Man this is the dream team!! Johnny’s such a legend, love that man’s personality
It would be cool to see Toby collaborate with Anton Fomenko. They both seem really dedicated to learning moves, and with Anton's background in Ninja Warrior, they could create some amazing stuff together.
Another banger from the HMB team! So satisfying to follow Toby's progress on this problem :)
Thanks Manuel! Appreciated :D
Great couple of videos! Very good synergy between Toby and Johnny. Also very impressed by the video quality! It's like I am right there in the gym.
Really glad to hear it. We had a lot of fun making these ones - great to work with Toby and Johnny and get to witness firsthand the movement magic that happens between them 🥲
Segar's Send-It Sunday Session!
Second half fantastic too :) Thank you so much for bringing these two together :)
Quality, love it, keep this content coming.
tbh at times it seems like Toby just wants a break from Johnnys advice 😄
He never stops talking, does he?
Probably lol. For you more than us. .

Great video, wonderfully authentic experience thank you for bringing us along, Toby is a young god.
Glad you enjoyed it
Subbed for the banging music in the background... Great content, love seeing Toby doing his thing
The pacing, editing and hype in this video is spot on! Excited to go climb!
Awesome! Thank you!

The timing of the music on Toby's successful go was beautiful
Really enjoyed this video! Great collaboration :) 😊
Thanks Ella, glad you liked it 🥰
Toby is an incredible athlete but also he has such determination
Love this collab!!!
Glad to hear it 🫶
Pretty nice setup, I'd love to try and make my own routes too
It’s a lot of fun, and pretty tricky to get right. Route setters are artists, for sure. 🙌
Do it! You're probably not allowed to bolt holds into the wall at your gym, but maybe there's a kilter/moon/tension board? Or a spraywall? Or even just a part of the wall where there's a lot of problems, just mix and match the holds to make a boulder.
Did anyone think, even for a second, that he wasn’t going to get it? Toby is amazing.
Brilliant persistence and commitment
Please take Toby outside to do some 'walks', Johnny
What a fascinating collab this is.
Johnny is a damn machine on the wall. I can only be impressed.
Man, I wish I could have a headspace at all, their mind games are brilliant
Awesome! What was the jungle track playing at 9 min?
Toby might not be at his prime but he's definitely at his peak! IMHO he's the most well-rounder (parkour) athlete, he can just it all. His parkour looks so effortless the last few years. Dom is very explosive and just sends it, Joe is a daredevil and Benj is just so technical and precise. But wolverine here, he's got all that and more in his arsenal.
Just put the dvd in your laptop Toby!! LOL
Oh dear God please find away to introduce this legend to the lads. ✌️💚
That move at the 0:02 second mark is insanely impressive to me
I'm glad Toby understands what Johnny's talking about because I have no idea what he's saying most of the time 😂
Love the Drum N Bass taking us back to 1994!
The godfather of climbing offering his wisdom
He said it in a strange way, but associating complete focus with an imagined smell is genius.
Fair play to Toby for putting up with Johnny’s nonsense
Johnny seems like one of those guys who can explain something in the most ridiculous way, yet you understand exactly what he means. I wouldn't be surprised if he could do a 30 minute speech of just random noises, and everyone would walk away with a general understanding of what he was waffling about.
How to play a DVD 😂 I was expecting it to be on VHS
Toby is the GOAT

"New failure. Very good. Very auspicious." might be my new favourite saying.
Somebody get Johnny a Rungne t-shirt! also when we gonna see STORROR do a push-hands competetion?
When will we be able to see this collab again Hannah?🥲🥲🥲loved every part of it🤩🤩🤩
"It's not Bon Jovi, it's Pink Floyd, or Genesis."
Johnny is my favorite genre of old person.
Was waiting for this🥳🥳🥳
Will there be a series of videos? Because the description was talking about 5 boulders and I only saw the one, a gorgeous one, but I would have watched toby climb a few more =D. Also why did you only show one of your try?
Hey! There are four boulders in the first part of the video - which I think is linked in the video description :)
There’s more attempts by Hannah and myself in the first video in the series too. This one was… rather hard.
@@NathanBetts Ah my bad, I failed at the basic task of scrolling down far enough ^^
True geniuses are always talking what sounds like nonsense but you can understand it better than normal words
amazing beats!
So has Nathan been forgiven for his betrayal now? 😂 I saw Mike in the climbing hangar and we had a wee chuckle about it (he had nothing but praise for you btw)
Just about. Hahah that's funny - hopefully we can climb properly together one day :)
Johnny is on another level
Did this boulder stay ? If so what was the grade and the public reception ?
Hope you and Nathan have a relaxing Sunday! Thanks for both of your continued hard work ! Super motivating for the Sunday sesh 😎
Thanks! We‘be been rushing around to find fast internet at Frankfurt Airport - hence the slightly late upload - but, now we’re fully relaxed and on our way back to the UK from a week away :)
Love the jungle
fantastic video.
Thank you very much!
such a crazy move!
Didnt know that Lyanna Mormont climbs !! “We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark.” ,
I've had that one before! Kinda see it haha :)
“2% more wang” - Toby Segar
Toby will need to invest in a USB external dvd player to watch stone monkey.
Toby would have made an awesome arborist!
Yesss part 2
excellent content
Much appreciated 🤗🤗
What a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it 🥹🙌
Johny sounds high as fuck
Where can I watch/buy “Stone Monkey?” It doesn’t appear to be available anywhere.
Yeah I was wondering that too. Can't find it apart from a few clips on RUclips
I downloaded it many years ago so likely still on pirate bay etc if you have a look
I think we need the video of when Toby takes Johnny out to do some parkour, surely?
awesome boulder problem
First climb has a be-tall middle section. Your main power is coming from your right(back) foot off of the horizontal blocz volume. Pretty inequitable.
Gotta love toby❤
i cant tell is johnny is a genius or nuts
Why not both?
he's annoying that's for sure
Aspergers for sure. So both and neither. XD
@@mehashi that's why he feels right to me!
The Dawes of Perception.
Who else also knew ahead that as soon as Dawes leaves (or shuts up for a while, I thought) Toby will make it?
Big Bob bringing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Feel like Toby could have done step, step, left hand on the red beside the green. Then step up, right hand. And the left hand on red could help him stay closer to the wall before the final jump.
What a fucking legend
How on earth can the other people in the gym be ignoring this?
9:02 🤣
Hannah, I came to these videos to watch Toby, but I ended up gaining more respect for you as you sit there and let these two idiots make noises at each other and play on a climbing wall 🤣
Anyone else feel like we're witnessing the birth of Boulderkour?
Is it just me or did anyone else skip thru johnnys stories only to get caught listening to another one 😅
hmm, less force on the jump, wait for knee to bend more and then with less power stand up, also foot position as far to left as possible to stand up and jump at a last second, thats what i saw i think :D
the angle is awkward if you go with full power you will just jump away from the wall :D
