This is a video of parkour athlete Nico Fischer demonstrating his skills by repeatedly (and smoothly) jump-climbing up and down two parallel walls without touching the ground.

This is a video of Swedish track and fielder Jesper Hellström competing in the 2022 European Championship finals and things going sideways (namely, him) during his jump. Hey, it happens. If I had a dollar for every time things didn’t go the way I’d planned, I’d have a dollar for
