The Takeoff | A Parkour Podcast

Wenxin Yang (‪@wenxinyangg‬ on YouTube and @wenxinyang on IG) is a parkour athlete and digital creative making some of the most interesting content in parkour. His media profile is a balance between short form content for some of the world's biggest brands and touching, grounded pieces about his journey in parkour.

In this conversation, we dig into what he's learned about conveying ideas through video in his branded work and how he's started to translate that into his parkour content. We also touch on what it means for "everyone" to do parkour, how to find your most authentic self, and how to start creating art from that place - with plenty of nerdy parkour history moments along the way.

I hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, don't forget to share it around and tag Wenxin when you do. His content is always a treat and deserves even more recognition inside the parkour community. Until next week!

Join Max Henry and Dominic Di Tommaso - better known to many as Dom Tomato - for the inaugural episode of "The Takeoff," a parkour podcast for people who train and people who don't.

In this episode, Max and Dom dive into how Dom balances his reputation for pushing the physical and mental limits of the sport with his honest belief that parkour can be for everyone. Along the way, he breaks down his approach for committing to hard challenges, how he views parkour's future, some of his favorite athletes in the sport right now, and what it means to train with no finish line in sight. I hope you enjoy this episode and I'll see you next week! If you have athletes you'd like to see come on or topics you'd like to see me tackle in future episodes, please drop a comment and I'll see what I can do.
