me :P

I don't like your idea Spit_Fire, I think it is useless information that some people might not want to share. I personally don't see how knowing that some of my enemies are friends of each other would be useful or interesting to me, I just couldn't care less about it.

no problem :) Also PM me what you want to write for club description and your goal

We will soon! :D

1000 subscribers! :D

Is this the typo you corrected, pdox? Is this really the correct way to say this? o: It looks like some very basic knowledge I'm missing... My English sucks lol

it's not an advertisement for my parkour team, it's just a nice title. the swift way means the quick way, because this guide helps people learn parkour faster. Also, I think that Fight & Flight is successful enough already and doesn't need more advertising... I mean we appeared on the latest VLOG. Also, as one of the leading teams in the parkour community I think we should contribute more to those who need help and we can help them, that's why I started posting these forum topics about parkour and i must say it works pretty well so I'm gonna keep posting more topics like these.

Coming in next video: the taxi trick!! Try to guess what trick could have such a name :P

Would love to see this in a video :D I don't think you need a website, idk if many people (except for club members probably) will look at it, it's much more convenient to stay in the forum :)

We want to see more creativity from the community and this is what we encourage by making this contest. I gave up the option to get crystals from parkour contests to be able to contribute to the parkour community, and I am going to judge only based on creativity and performance and definitely not gonna give penalty to anyone for being in a specific team. Good luck, and I'm expecting to see some good stuff from you! ^_^

I wouldn't say it's very challenging, can be easily done with the Sandwich Trick. I will add it, but I will make it more interesting: you are also not allowed to touch the gate, and you have to go under the gate. Good luck! ^_^

we were talking about the first time a mammoth got up there, I know what ToT did :P It's not extremely hard, it's just different parameters btw, shaft had a much greater impact force back then, and the skyscraper was lower too btw. which makes me wonder if Godmode_ON climbed on the lower or higher version of the skyscraper (not that it would make it more difficult for him... lol) Are you sure Godmode_ON did it before everyone else? I was thinking it was after the contest. o:

Let me quote you something from the guide I just published today: "A whole lot of players think that to learn parkour they need someone to teach them. They watch parkour videos and wish to be like the players in these videos, then they ask them to teach them parkour and never get a reply. Next time they talk about parkour they say "I want to learn parkour but not one wants to teach me", this is the main reason I decided to write this guide." jk dw I already said in FJ topic that I will come to teach your club more :) but it's gonna be rare cause I dedicate most of my time to F&F

Learning Parkour - The Swift Way! Most of this guide is focused on getting started, and is intended to help new parkourists learn parkour faster and without making frustrating mistakes giving up. All the amazing parkourists out there started from being a newbie, with no exceptions. Some of the newbies reading this topic might be the parkour legends of the future but you still have a long way to go and I am here to help you start your journey. You don't have to follow my instructions exactly, or at all. There are many ways to learn, everyone goes his own path. I learned by just experimenting with friends, and it just might be a good way for you too. But anyways, I recommend you to read this article to get some helpful advice. A bad way of learning parkour A whole lot of players think that to learn parkour they need someone to teach them. They watch parkour videos and wish to be like the players in these videos, then they ask them to teach them parkour and never get a reply. Next time they talk about parkour they say "I want to learn parkour but not one wants to teach me", this is the main reason I decided to write this guide. A good way of learning parkour Players usually imagine themselves doing impressive and complicated tricks in the future, and decide that their goal is to be able to do that. That's a great goal and there is absolutely no problem with it, but aiming so high without looking at the way to your goal isn't the best thing to do. Here are a few simple steps that can help you build your learning plan: Learn more about parkour - do your research, watch various parkour videos, read articles, just learn more about what different things there are in parkour. Get familiar with different concepts and parkour styles. This step will be easy for you because I've done a lot of the research for you, I'll get to it later in this article. Define yourself a clear goal - whether it is to be able to make big and impressive jumps, to be able to climb any building you want, to become an OMP master, to know all the parkour tricks, or even to become the best parkourist ever. Just make sure you know exactly what you want. Break it down into small goals - Now that you've done your research, you know enough to be able to choose small goals or check-points to build your way to the final goal. For the first goals pick something not too far fetched, you need to start from something you can accomplish quickly and easily. Increase the difficulty gradually, go step by step so you'll always have some progress and will not lose your motivation. These check points can be learning new parkour skills and tricks, accomplishing goals like conquering a whole map or reaching higher places, or even getting better parkour equipment. Start parkouring! You have a plan, you have useful resources that some of them are made especially to help you learn parkour - use them. And most importantly, have fun!! Learning from videos is an option for talented players, fast learners and experienced parkourists, but it is not the best way for most beginners. For those of you who can learn easily enough by just watching others doing parkour, I recommend starting from "parkour guide" videos. While these are not real guides and the commentary doesn't provide any new information you can't already see clearly in the video itself, the main reason they are good for learning is that the tricks are shown clearly and slowly enough. you can watch videos by TFP, BRTT, AoP, GTT, or any other team you know that makes this kind of videos. You don't have to worry about the language because - as I already mentioned - the commentary doesn't provide any new information. Another useful type of videos can be found in the Parkour Dictionary, there you can see various basic tricks from player's view so you can see what things should look like from your own view in the game. When you are already capable of learning from videos, it is most likely that you will be able to learn from any video because you already have the basic understanding of how things work in parkour. The types of videos I mentioned in the last paragraph are the easiest to learn from, but you should try repeating tricks from other videos too. Succeeding a trick you see in a video that isn't made to teach players is a nice way to confirm you are getting much better at parkour. If you are not yet capable of learning from watching parkour videos, you should focus on the basics - the most fundamental skills that are used almost everywhere in parkour. Once you master these, learning from videos and trying more complex tricks shouldn't be a problem for you. You can find videos and explanation of all the basics in the Parkour Dictionary. The order of tricks in the Parkour Dictionary is based on similarity of concepts. I tried to put the most basic things first but the order isn't perfect for learning. I recommend starting from these: (in order) Swing, Tower, Ramp, Bump, Mine Jump. After mastering these, you can try pretty much any trick form the Parkour Dictionary, there are some more difficult tricks in it but most of them are pretty simple. Just make sure you have the right equipment for the trick you want to try. Finding a good team You want a team of players that are at about your level in parkour. Don't waste your time trying to join more experienced parkourists that don't need you in their team. You can try joining existing teams at your level or gather some friends to start a new team. You don't need to create a forum topic listing your team mates, and you don't even need to call it a team. It's enough to just know what friends are interested in parkour and just invite them to do parkour with you whenever you want. This is how most parkour teams came into existence, including some of the best teams that exist today. Warnings! There are a few big mistakes that many people keep repeating and it causes them to lose their motivation and stop trying to learn parkour. Parkour is for everyone, but not every parkour trick is. Many players get demotivated by failing tricks they don't have the right equipment for. These huge jumps you see in parkour videos are done using upgraded equipment that not everybody haves. If you seem to do everything right but the trick still doesn't work, it's a sign that you might not have the right equipment. A lot of low ranked players fall for it and wrongly conclude that they are not talented enough for this level of parkour. If your best equipment is just M1, I recommend you TFP's M0/M1 videos. Sadly they didn't show a lot of what's possible with this equipment, but at least it is something you could start from. A less popular thing (that sadly still happens sometimes) is that players give up after failing a few parkour tricks when they do have the right equipment. They don't understand what they do wrong. If you keep failing a trick - instead of repeating it over and over the same way - ask yourself some useful questions: are you doing something wrong? is anyone else in your team making a mistake? is the timing right? why did you fail last time? are you missing players in the trick to have more firepower to shoot the jumper further and higher? are you using the best equipment for this trick? If you still can't get it to work, try watching a video of this trick and see how exactly the trick is done in the video, and with what equipment. Another very helpful thing is remembering exactly what you did last attempt, look at the textures on the ground and remember where exactly you start accelerating from, where you placed the mine, when you shot... Every little detail you can memorize. Keep changing these little details every one or few attempts and see if it makes the trick work better or worse, try to fine tune every little thing. Keep experimenting with small changes and see how they affect the trick. In most cases, if you can't perform a trick in the best way possible or the trick just isn't effective enough, you can add another player to shoot the jumper and give him the extra boost. Do parkour with your friends in a private battle. Public parkour battles are the wrong place for it, they are just a big mess. It is important that you use parkour format for the battle because in this format there are no "kill zones" that make players self destruct when they get on top of houses or to any other area you shouldn't go in normal battles. There are some myths that many believe and some useful facts they don't know, read the list of parkour myths and facts to make sure you don't repeat popular mistakes in parkour. (like using double damage and thinking it increases impact force too) Helpful Information What is parkour in Tanki? Parkour in Tanki Online is about overcoming obstacles, climbing places that aren't reachable with simple driving, making cool jumps and tricks even if not to land on a high place, and making stunts. Common things parkourists do: Just randomly jumping around for fun. Getting on top of houses. Making parkour videos - usually conquering a whole map in each video. Playing in special parkour styles. The most popular parkour style, not including the classic team-parkour, is OMP. Learning new tricks. Trying to come up with new tricks. Catch gold boxes using parkour - flying right to it while everyone else is watching them from below helplessly! What is OMP? OMP stands for "One Man Parkour" - it's a parkour style of climbing things alone, with no help from anyone else, and that includes not using their mines.

As some of you may already know, our next video will be in the map Skyscrapers. It takes us especially long time to release this video due to some technical problems, but don't worry! you can watch right now 3 of the tricks we did for this video with the new Striker turret! It is in the latest VLOG :D

The long list of nicknames you see there is their "students". They teach players parkour from the basics and you can see the list is separated into ranks/classes. (which is a great idea and I'm thinking of starting to do it myself too btw) I don't know if they participate in recording the videos, but they don't need many players for the tricks they record so as long as these players can be online at same time often enough, everything's perfectly fine. :)

well that's an obvious one, they only affect damage, nothing else. There are no hidden bonuses in this game.

I guess you mean double damage, it is helpful in parkour to heal jumpers so they can survive more mines. Was suggested many times already and I agree with it.

GTT did first :P with twins elevator

don't worry, you'll have more chances ;)

half a year ago? I wasn't even able to play tanki half a year ago o: I was away for a whole year... I don't remember what you're talking about, but if it happened it probably was cause I didn't have time to play.

oh, I guess that's talking about the weight parameter of micro upgrades, like upgrading all parameters except for weight
