[MUSIC - EANAN PATTERSON,
"THEME SONG"]
FELICIA DAY: I'm here at the
Tempest Freerunning Academy,
and I'm gonna learn
how to do parkour.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FELICIA DAY: I'm here with
Luci Romberg, and--
Lucy?
Hey.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Parkour
started in France, and it's
basically about efficient
movement-- getting from point
A to point B as fast and
efficiently as you can.
And then freerunning is just
adding style and flips and
creativity.
What's so great about this
is anyone can do it.
All you need is a
pair of shoes.
You don't start jumping the huge
roof gaps your first day.
You start small, and you just
build up the confidence, you
build up the skill, the
muscle, everything.
So it's just fun.
We're just going to
play, have fun.
We're gonna be little
kids again.
FELICIA DAY: All right, well,
let's get started.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: All right.
I'm ready.
FELICIA DAY: Ready to go.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Let's
start out like this.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So with your
right leg out, and you're
going to reach down with
your left arm.
So basically, you're just going
to make a target for
your right arm.
Yeah, exactly.
So instead of rolling over your
head, you're just going
to roll right over
that shoulder.
FELICIA DAY: Like I'm reaching
in for my junk.
Only I don't have any junk.
If I had junk, I'd be
reaching in for it.
Let's not use that part.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: There.
Good.
Good.
Really good.
Now I want you to jump
off of here.
You know, if you want, you
can even just start
here, and just jump.
FELICIA DAY: OK, I thought I
was going to literally dive
into my neck.
My mom never let me play on
the monkey bars as a kid.
True story.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Good.
Yeah.
Good.
So we're going to reach out
with our left hand.
FELICIA DAY: I meant
to do that.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So you're
basically going to jump,
you're going to lean, and then
you're going to land on the
other side.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
Oh, wow.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Yeah.
Well done.
FELICIA DAY: I forgot
what I was doing.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: It's fine
if you want to jump off your
right leg and put your
right arm down.
FELICIA DAY: So, what?
Wait, left?
OK, left is this way.
This leg.
Oh my god.
Let's just go over this again.
There have been more
undercoordinated people than me.
OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
There you go.
FELICIA DAY: No, that
doesn't feel--
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: You've
got to jump.
FELICIA DAY: That
doesn't feel--
[LAUGHING]
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So you're
just going to take a step with
your left leg, and then you're
going to jump up the wall.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So, see
how I use my arms, too?
There you go.
Pretend like there's a
ladder here, yeah?
So you're going to step up on
that rung, and jump off of it.
FELICIA DAY: So I
want to go up.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
There it is, good.
Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: So what should
I do with my arms?
Because they're noodly.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So the arms
are-- when you do the
wall running, you'll naturally
reach for the wall and push
yourself up.
FELICIA DAY: Yeah.
Oh.
OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Just that.
And just be careful
getting down.
There you go.
Yeah.
That was close.
FELICIA DAY: That
was like a cat.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
There it is!
Yes!
Nice.
I want you to go here, to
your chest, and then
put your foot up.
It requires upper
body strength.
There you go.
There you go.
Yeah, see?
FELICIA DAY: Oh, my boob.
I hit my boob.
It's that easy, boys
and girls.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: And you've
done it 15 times, so you're
probably tired.
No, I see some muscles through
that lovely shirt.
FELICIA DAY: A little bit.
Thank you.
You like my shirt?
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: I do.
It's really cute.
Yes.
There it is.
Go!
Pull yourself!
Nice.
Push!
FELICIA DAY: I'm sorry, Luci!
Yeah!
Yeah!
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: This is
what I want you to do.
There you go.
Yeah, that was it.
Do you want to do one
more, or move on?
FELICIA DAY: No.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: OK, cool.
This is called a pounce, so
it's kind of like the
progression to the cat leap.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: So
basically, what you want to do
is you're going to put one
foot here, the other foot
there, and you're going
to land on two feet.
OK.
FELICIA DAY: I'm known for
my fear, basically.
So let's see what we can do.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
You can do it.
[INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
FELICIA DAY: Let's
do it again.
Do it again.
OK.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Yes, good!
FELICIA DAY: Hey, I did it!
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
That was great!
FELICIA DAY: Yeah, OK!
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Just
put your feet down.
That was awesome.
This is the cat leap.
Basically, it's just
like the pounce.
You want to get your feet out
in front of you, but you're
going to catch the wall.
Make sure that your face is
a good distance away.
Good.
Nice.
FELICIA DAY: I just keep on
hanging in there, right?
Isn't that that kitten?
Hang in there!
Oh my god.
Nobody's died in this
pit, right?
There's no people?
[SCREAMS]
Oh god, it's horrible!
How do you get out?
This is not like waves.
It's not like 8-bit
"Minecraft" waves.
This is no joke, dude!
This is a fire hazard!
I don't like the sensation
of freefall.
I don't enjoy that.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: You looked
good in there, though.
FELICIA DAY: I did?
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG: Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
So thank you for teaching
me so many moves.
I had an amazingly fun time.
LUCI STEEL ROMBERG:
Well, great.
Let's finish it up with
an obstacle course.
FELICIA DAY: Wait, what?
I thought it was over.
