Lucas' Profile
Birthday: 08.06.1993
Based in: Berlin
Career start: Parcour-Career in 2009, self-employed since 2012
Biggest success: I am one of the best-booked freerunners in Germany and I have crossed the Alps on foot!
Favourite Stunt: Double Arial Twist or Pistol Backflip
Hardest setback: Inner torn ligament at the ankle joint. That held me back for 5 years.
Life goal: I want to get the best out of myself in all areas and be an inspiring athlete even at the age of 80!
No. 1 travel destination: The alps!! I love hiking and the nature. Also, Japan is on my bucket list.
Personal Idol: In terms of sport, I orient myself to Archie Aroyan, for my life to Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Bodo Schäfer. Success, let's go!
Favourite Parkour Spot: The "yellow village" in Berlin Kreuzberg
Another spot you would love to see: Lisboa! It is THE Parkour City and I definitely wanna go there for training one day.
Coolest place you've ever been to: For training: Ollerup. They have a huge parkour/gym. It's like a gigantic training camp! Otherwise: Haha, the Alps. As I said, I really like nature and hiking.
One thing you wish you would've known at the start of your career: How to care for your body properly. That would have saved me a lot of suffering and injuries. I pushed myself way too much in my training and should have listened more to my physical signals instead of "necessarily making the challenge".
Best advice you have ever received: To have routines. It changed my life completely when I started working on the things that really mattered to me first every day. I got it from the book "Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. Good man!
