Good morning guys!
You kept asking me to make this video so I'm going to show you a day in my life as a professional
parkour athlete and YouTuber.
So first thing I do after I wake up and take a shower is I go to the kitchen and make some
breakfast because when I wake up I get hungry, so we're going to watch some Anime while cooking
an omelette.
So we're going to grab some eggs, some egg whites, some pre-cut peppers over here, and
some mushrooms.
And just because I'm fancy, I'm going to add some salmon.
Since my omelette is so big, it actually takes a bit of time to cook which means I have a
couple of minutes to do flips!
Audio clip: Maybe we'll meet each other again...
And now that breakfast is done I'm going to go get changed and start filming.
Okay so today I'm filming part of a Parkour POV with a GoPro in my mouth.
In case you guys have never seen it, it's like this but one of the jumps I want to do
is I want to jump over the railing over here into a dive roll onto the block down to the mat.
Total coincidence me and Brandon were training yesterday on these blocks just back there
and I saw it and I thought you know what maybe I can do this.
So let's prep it.
Woah!
So clearly that didn't go as planned.
Oh no!
Hey!
Okay so hopefully this is a slightly better angle for you guys to see how sketchy this is.
Okay, okay.
Not bad.
There's just too much momentum.
Dang!
Hey hey!
I was able to get it but I think I might change to a vault off the railing and then onto the
blocks instead.
That might be better and look cooler with the GoPro in my mouth instead of flipping
over with the dive roll but I still needed to get it for another video, for fail vs. win.
Okay so I just got a couple of clips with the GoPro for the POV video here's a little
preview for you guys.
As you can see that trick worked out a lot better than the other one.
Now it's time for a quick lunch so I can get back to work after.
Because I work a lot, I don't always have the time to plan my meals and do groceries.
So one great option is Hello Fresh.
Hello Fresh is a meal kit delivery service.
Let's see which meals we got today.
So we've got chicken schnitzel, we've got pan seared chicken, and we've got summer chicken
bacon burger.
Actually this one looks super good I'm going to be making this one right now.
Alright so we've got the bacon here, we've got the chicken breast, and then the rest of the ingredients.
Let's get started!
There are so many recipes to choose from so I never get tired of eating the same meals.
Hello Fresh is also super friendly to all kinds of diets like low-calorie, pescatarian,
vegetarian, and carb smart.
Their selection of extras is getting bigger and better every week, like delicious desserts.
Oh buns, okay!
Alright I think that's everything.

add extra protein which is something that I need.

So usually after lunch I have a parkour training session, just so happens this time that I'm
doing it in Vancouver instead of back home.
I'm extra lucky today because I get to train with some of my friends.
We've got Brandon as usual, just stretching.
We've got Tam and Mat over here, some of my oldest parkour friends.
I'm a little excited because we have a parkour park and we have some drops over here into sand.
You guys know I'm going to be doing some double flips.
Oh God!
Okay so that wasn't the best landing but the sand is actually really deceivingly hard and
I didn't want to fully stick it so I wanted to back roll to absorb the shock but I had
to do it because I told you guys that I would do double flips.
So because of the really nice ledges I'm going to be trying a bunch of flip precisions so
let's see how that goes.
Okay let's see how many I can get and you guys can comment down below right now and
guess how many you think I'll do.
One
Two
Three
Four Yeah stayed on.
So I want to do a hand cast precision over here on this wall so basically I'm going to hang off of it and go into a backflip.
Land on the ledge.
I have never done a precision with this trick before so let's try and prep it, do a few
to warm up.
Okay.
Five Yeah sick!
Six Hey first try!
Let's go.
Seven Yes!
One shot.
Eight Another one.
Nine Oh!
No way.
Okay.
Nice!
Ten I think that's good.
I don't think I need better than that.
Good stick.
Eleven Now it counts!
Alright so I was able to get a full ten (eleven) which I'm super proud of because like two
or three of them were brand new never done before so I'm happy!
Oh the stick!
Good job!
Yes!
First try.
Alright so she wants to try the same thing but this time starting from down here and
going up so make sure you smash that like button for Parkour Girls.
Yeah.
Ooh precision.
Ooh yeah you know he's not satisfied with that, the last attempt was way better.
There you go!
Ah I knew that was bad.
You've got this, you've got this.
Yes!
Full stick look at those feet.
Okay so I just thought of a challenge over here.
I want to swing off this bar, do a flip and instead of landing on the ground I want to
grab these two bars over here but it's scary because if I miss this, I could slip hit my
shins, could get hurt but let's try and go for it!
It's a scary commit.
Okay.
Ooh yes!
No!
Yes sir!
That's it!
Let's get that reaction content.
Ah!
Aah!
Oh!
Yo.
Okay so that was a super fun session, a lot of good times with good friends and I actually
got a few new tricks so I'm really excited.
Now usually in my day I go back home.
So after I train parkour I usually go back home, go in my basement and relax.
Just kidding!
We go and lift some weights so we can get better at parkour and take all those falls
and not get hurt.
So today I'm going to be doing a pull day which is usually back and biceps.
I usually keep my push days for when Brandon comes over so that he can spot me on bench
and I can spot him.
Go!
Ah!
So I have an app that tracks my breaks in between my sets so that my muscles can relax
in between and instead of just sitting down and waiting and stuff, what I like to do is
keep my body warm by walking on the treadmill but then I get bored!
So what I do is I take out the Xbox and I play Assassin's Creed while I workout.
Okay so that was not bad, that was an hour and forty-three and now it's time for stretching
while playing Assassin's Creed which is also important for parkour and injury prevention.
So after the parkour training and the workout I usually spend my evenings just working and
editing the clips that I got earlier that day.
Since I work every single day and I don't really take much of a break, I like to watch
Anime while I work so at least it's not as intense.
So I know a lot of you guys think that being a YouTuber is super easy and fun... well it's not.
It's super fun but it's definitely not easy.
You have to do constant research, keep an eye on the trends, and also keep an eye on
your analytics to make sure you know why things are doing well or why things are not.
There is more to being a YouTuber than just posting a video online and hoping it does well.
You can post a super high quality video and still not get any views on it.
But for those of you who still want to be a YouTuber, my number one advice is have fun!
Because no matter what if it doesn't pick up as long as you had fun you didn't waste your time.
So once I'm done editing I usually go upstairs to get ready for bed.
The usual brush my teeth, take a shower and also one thing I love to do is I love to read
before bed time so I'm not looking at a screen.
You know Star Wars or Anime stuff, Mangas.
So yeah that's basically a day in the life of Nick Pro YouTuber / Professional Parkour Athlete.
It's not easy but it's definitely a lot of fun.
It would be much easier if I wasn't a professional parkour athlete because that's definitely
the thing that takes up the most chunk of my day.
The working out, training, the stretching, the eating properly... it's just a ton of
hard work but I absolutely love it.
Thanks for watching.
