Thank you for posting this. I'm 32 and just getting into Parkour. I was feeling a little old in the class I took (with 20-year-olds) but this has really inspired me.
Lol in my class there is a 50 years old that is a beast. He can fucking wall flip at 50.
How is it going for you now?
@@CharlieZuko pretty good, still at it for 6 years now! Due to like a free time cuz of working kids my skills kind of plateaued at a certain point, I'm not doing flips or anything, but it's still really fun and has kept me in good shape.
People usually stop doing this kind of activities because they start working and they're afraid to injure themselves, but physically it's easy to go on until your 50's and even beyond that. I'm 31 and I hope that parkour will be my lifestyle for the rest of my life. It just make me feel well :)
+Fed Alon So true. But honestly, I try to keep up with this sort of exercise/activity so that I DON'T get injured. The movement skill and awareness I get from doing stuff like this regularly helps me to have great skill at avoiding injury. People just have the wrong attitude.
I'm 47 as well. I may not be as good at Parkour (yet), but I am still active in obstacle course races and climbing anything I can. It's all a matter of mindset.
It's like many things. No matter what age you are, listen to your body, and minimize risks by being properly ready to take on that risk. I'm not saying don't go for crazy goals and crazy things, just that you should prepare yourself fully BEFORE going for them :P But moving well is better than not moving well at any age imo.
8 Years later now. Did you keep up? :)
I'm 49. I've been practicing since I was 45 on and off. I went to a couple of jams this weekend (wife and kid are out of town). I keep learning new things. What Beau says is true; learning new things keeps it a passion for me. It's great to see others like me out there-- Beau has definitely raised the bar, though! Great video.
There's me thinking 37 is a bit late, this is so good to see, it's about how you feel mentally, I can box jump up to 3 foot and practicing kong vaults amongst other things, it's an amazing feeling and my kids love it too :D
WTF?! He can do a GAINER at 47?! Holy shit this guy is a beast. And he started in his 40'... Oh... my... god . I'm am 20 now and i have fear to get old, but this is so inspiring
I watched this while my parents were fighting...
You alright bro?
have they finished fighting yet, or they still going at it?!
Started in his 40's?? Amazing! :D ...How can anyone dislike this video?
I enjoy seeing someone around my age staying active and training. I train and attempt parkour 4 times a week and am a professional martial arts instructor. I agree many people our age just shut down and kill the inner child of exploring and enjoying life. Life is all about movement and enjoying the present moment.
very inspirational, thanks for posting, as someone over 50, I see that although I may not get to be as good as this dude, I can still be much better than I am, and parkour is so much fun!
Keeping you posted that Beau is 57 and still as amazing as in this video.
Beau's been a boss from day, sick to see he's finally getting some much deserved recognition, nothing but respect from me.
I don't know but you look younger than you actual age. I thought only young people can only do that. Big Respect! !!!
Of course he looks younger than his age, he’s dark skinned! They age slower.
This is outstanding Salute motivates me I'm 45 and enjoy the freedom of movement has a real humbling vibe to it
Incredibly inspiring. Will do everything in my power to be like this man when I'm into my 40s and 50s.
Wow, huge inspiration. At 28 I worry about how much youth there is left in me for this, but now after seeing this guy I am not worrying about that at all!
feel better at 38?
I SPENT SOME TIME GROWING UP AS AN ADULT WITH THE UNSEEN LEGEND AND BOY DID HE OPEN MY EYES TO ANOTHER SIDE OF LIFE. I OWE HIM QUITE A FAIR BIT LOL
yes! Would love to do one with you if you ever feel like training =]
That is some remarkable power required to not roll out of that land at 3:42
It's NEVER too late to start something AMAZING !!! So inspiring
Seen this guy out in south bank loads! Truly inspirational
Very inspirational. I’m 31 and I missed out on a big chunk of my 20’s due to mental health issues. I’ve been depressed a lot about all the potential I thought I had wasted. I’m clawing myself out of a rut that I’ve been stuck in for far too long, and seeing amazing people like this proves that I can still do everything I wish I had done.
Litterally, this is my situation. I'm in the same boat.
Same thing happened to me. Here's a few things that helped me a lot!
Lifting weights-More Testosterone
No Fap-Ejaculation is such a huge energy waster
Faith-Reading the bible and thanking God in advance for healing me
Law of attraction-the mind is so powerful, I would visualize myself doing parkour again a few minutes after laying down to sleep.
11 years of no training and now here I am training again! I even landed my dream trick-2 step wallflip.
You got this!
@@TheDwoods14
Very inspirational. It's nice to see evidence that I've got a lot of potentially active years ahead of me, if I keep myself in good shape. It's really cool seeing Beau's progression even through the course of this video. Thanks for doing this documentary!
He.always landed on his feet off the beach wall jumps. That was just amazing.
And he still does today! At 52 years old, better than ever. Bravo Beau!
This dude owns. If everyone had heart like him, we'd all be much better off
One of the most inspiring things I've ever seen on RUclips. Thanks for doing this!
Done a bit of parkour when i was younger, started again this year now 35... and was panicking id left it too late and was gonna run out of time before I get any good again... this guys a massive inspiration
This is the demonstration that it's never too late to learn and practice extreme sports!!!
Respect to this man!
Thanks to this I'm gonna start free running again! Thanks!
Good to know there are more people closer to my age out there who are loving this like me. Lets train hard and one day hopefully us older guys can post some vids ourselves and inspire others like this video inspired us and others.
I'm 47 (in august) too and I train parkour since 7 years - I love to see people in my mature age doing parkour & freerunning. Never too old and never too weak! Beau, and you all - Train safe and have fun! Greetings from Austria.
Please make more of these. Old age is a mentality.
Bravo Beau Kendall! no excuse for me 43 yr . great motivation
Amazing insight on how no matter the age u can learn and get better at what ever u wanna do
Awesome loved seeing this. The world needs more ppl like him
That is just absolutely AMAZING!! Wel done Beau!! What a legend.
This is great to see, I'm 40 and am still learning. It's good to see someone older than me moving in such a fantastic way.
This was so motivational for me. I am 41 and just now getting into Parkour. I have practiced and taught martial arts for 20 years and until now nothing has caught my heart and soul like martial arts. Until now. It is a bit harder for me in my 40s but I always do what I set out to do and I'm excited to learn and train Parkour. I'm actually excited again to go out and train and condition because of Parkour. Never to old to do anything if you believe in yourself !
Thanks guys. You help many people!!!! Enjoy your life...
This has made my day. Thank you.
One of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen, this guy is awesome.
Never going to stop
This guy is absolutely incredible - unbelievable!
I'm 38 and just starting to learn.. this video is truly inspirational! I don't use that word lightly... but this is amazing and shows me that it is possible. Thank you and keep up the amazing work !
Amazing! Keep it up! I love how motivated and humble he seems!
From Philippines, Proud to those who LOVE Parkour and Freerun.
Deffinatly my biggest inspiration! Everytime I'm in London watching this guy train he just amazes me! Keep it up! :)
Thankyou for your words of inspiration :) I'll be sure to take it slow. I've definitely felt wierd when I was training with younger people who where so much better than me. I'am still recovering from an ankle injury and it's really frustrating.. but I guess that comes with age, slower recoveries like you said.. we just have to stay positive and motivated, and it's people like Beau Kendall and this great community of athletes that help me stay that way :)
This dude is absolutely crazy good not just for a 47 year old but if someone said he was 21 I would still be amazed at his movement
only one word "RESPECT".
this was very inspiring, huge thanks!
This is life affirming and a true inspiration 👌🏼
Awesome!
Amazing, keep this up man!
Love this guy. Truly inspiring, so fun to watch!!
Gotta say I admire someone whose older and wiser enough to do something like this and I do agree with the 47 year old free runner the human body is a fascinating thing
thank you flow and beau for tha video... message recieved loud and clear
I'am 27 and people have told me it's too late to start in parkour or any sort of gymnastics stuff, even though I already have some basics down.. but I don't like to believe it's too late.. and after seeing this video I know I can do it too. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am 35 and I have started Parkour for 5 months now. Beau is doing what he likes and I feel him.Human body is truly amazing and I hope me and him will keep training till we reach 60. Thank you very much Beau for the inspiration and the guys at Flow for making this video!!!
This may sound a bit dramatic but watching this almost brought me to tears of joy! Let the new standard for the future be written today! No excuses, just solutions, time to get it!
Respekt and much positive vibes send you an also older guy from Vienna/Austria Mr. Beau Kendall ! One love!!!
Amazing. Thanks
Es increíble.. Como este hombre recibe semejantes impactos y que aún así vuelva a hacerlo y lo consiga, y con esa edad... De verdad, muy grande la motivación que me ha dado. Este hombre tiene todos mis respetos, es muy grande. Paz.
I'm 33 tomorrow and like him I believe it's an internal thing. Loving yourself and know that life has NO limits. Live on.
truly inspiring!
01:23 He didn't even think he could do it, and then he went and did it anyway. Inspiring.
Right on man! Good for you!
This video is great, This man is greater and motivational and inspiring video,
Thank you so much Tim.
I have waited 46 years for a video like this ;) ... HUGE respect to Beau has his Fellows Wayfarers ! (Y)
Truly inspiring. i hope when i am his age i am still doing parkour. love this so much and for the age of him he is actually really good.
so much respect for thus guy :) truly inspiring
This guy is incredible. I'm almost his age now and I started training parkour nearly a decade ago and I'm by far not as good as him. Don't wait until you're 40. Not all of us are able to become as agile when older.
this is epic!!
Congrats!!
amazing. very inspirational.
That guys is such a winner! Started at 40's and he can do sick precisions and that sand spot . Omg gainer from that height, i dont understand why some guys disliked this video:/
Great video. Beau is very inspiring. Age doesn't exist unless you want it to; It's about mind over matter. Look at Beau, a classic example. I've been Parkour training barely six months now & as Beau says in the video, it does something positive to you, it connects you to your soul as well as your body. Very spiritual. I'll be 48 the end of October & looking forward to making a deeper connection with myself & others through Free Running/Parkour training. Thanks for making and posting the vid!
Wow! I have been doing parkour for 7 months and I feel so free flipping off things and landing a big jump or doing a really cool vault. So Inspiring. Never stop
The oldest guy I know who trains is in his 50s. Age is no barrier :)
This was pretty amazing, thanks Tim
Absolute legend and respect
Great post - Inspiring story - Thank you!
Lots of respect!!!
You’d be surprised what us “Older” guys can do. I started Krav Maga in my 40’s and can wind a 20 something in workouts 🤠
Endurance is a state of mind and if you ask me comes with age. Cheers!
Absolutely awesome. Beau is such a massive inspiration. He moves with fluidity, softness on all landings yet has beastly pre distances.. Makes my 38 years seem like nothing. Just show's what is possible. Wish I was half as good as him. I'm certainly looking forward to hitting 47 and still be doing this awesome art.
I love seeing people this age still doing a passion that they love :)
He’s awesome. We need more people like him!
Truly inspiring. I am beyond surprise.
This is amazing! NO EXCUSES!
Great episode of flow, definitely shows that we can keep training into our older ages!
inspirational !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love it!
Dang! 47 and still strong! I see that he is able to clear jumps that Tim Shieff can do! Awesome!
Pure Inspiration.
This is awesome, I like to see more video's of him. He is very good :)
Very cool! Inspirational!
Just Inspiring!!
one word.. impressive!
respect !
This is so awesome! :O
Wow, so he started when parkour started hitting the streets. Very inspirational
Awesome. I went from doing nothing for years and jumped straight into front flips. By the time i was able to complete my front flip my knees were killing me. I should have worked up to it and strengthened my tendons and ligaments. Also, about 20lbs over weight and in my 30's. absolutely right NO EXCUSES I am going for it! Train right and listen to your body, push past your limits and keep progressing. Thanks for sharing this video. "Defeat is only a state of mind" --BL
True that bro! 👌 (just learnt frontflips flat today so stoked!)
