ACE (from PkCali.com) posted the video on Parkour.NET’s forum :

“As many of you know and have read, David and Cyril were recently in the U.S. to promote B-13. One of their stops in L.A. allowed them some time to hang out and do some light hearted training. While attempting to do a fairly routine (for David anyway) Saut De Chat to Saut De Bras, something went wrong and David took a rather nasty fall, which was captured on 3 seperate cameras. This is the video David asked for us (those of us that were there during that day) produce and release. Pk Danno (pkto.ca), who was present, did a fantastic write up on his experience on the trip with David and Cyril and it contains words straight from the two of them, a few of which were quoted in this video, as well as more details on the fall itself, that David would like released.”

Text of the video

“Instantly he pointed to me and said to put it all over the internet, so everyone can see him fall and see that he is human and falls just like everyone else out there, that hes no different at all…”

“… He said he trained Parkour for 18 years and still on such a simple jump a mistake can happen.”

“… Thats how real Parkour is and thats why everyone has to be careful doing it and to make sure.”

“I looked at him and he said “CA! Ca c’est le vrai parkour” (This! This is real Parkour) … He spoke so fast, and so happy. He continued to be so excited…”

“… He said that this is what he lives for, this realness, this feeling that his life is real, that things can happen, that life is unpredictable.”

“… The best part of falling is getting back up again. If that phrase doesnt examplify what David showed us all there that day, I dunno what would ever!” - “Pk Danno”
