In this picture, I am doing the most basic thing that every traceurs must know. This is called the “break fall”. “Break-fall” means, to lessen the impact of falling due to gravity pull. And plus if your body weight is “BIG” you will have some difficulties breaking the fall. In my pictures, this is the correct technique to break the fall. First, you have to land on the ball of your feet. Then , lean forward and then roll your whole body forward, this is because to continue the momentum that you have. This is a French sport, so I have to know the French language, in other words the terms of every action is named. So this moves is called “roulade” . Landing and rolling are two very important things. The stuff in videos, 3m drops and they like? Forget it for now. Practice on 30cm-1m drops. Landing is essential, the wrong technique will most definitely kill you in the long run.
