Ok first it would be helpful to know what your problem is to fix. A very common problem with shoulder rolling is breaking away from the habit of somersaulting straight forward along the spine. This causes damage to the spine from full contact against the hard ground. To avoid this you need to roll across your back from your shoulder to your apposite hip. The easiest way to avoid this is tucking/scooping the "rolling arm" (usually the dominant arm) under the opposite armpit while falling forward into the roll. Place the hand palm-up to the ground and roll along the back of the arm to the shoulder. Also keep your head tucked to your chest so it doesn't hit the ground. Don't try jumping off anything before the roll becomes second nature, and is close to perfection.

I'm posting a YouTube video that deals with the numerous problems people tend to struggle with when learning the roll (but I give credit to UrbanCurrent who actually created the video). Remember that each persons roll is slightly different, and its best to find a roll that works for you.

Give you a list of every parkour move and parkour technique?

well yes and no. first there is a small list of parkour moves that every tracuer (a practitioner of parkour) knows. kong vault,lazy vault,speed vault,dash vault,reverse vault,quadrapedal vaut, turn vault,kash vault, pop vault, thief vault, under bar, 360 under bar, wallrun, tick tack, dive roll, roll, side roll, cat grab... but parkour is not a set of moves, just because you do the moves doesn't mean our doing parkour. you are doing parkour when you "flow" a term used to define how we move between obstacles flow is o be like water and from that stems all of the techniques in parkour, once you realise this it becomes apparent that if you where to try an make a list of techniques you would never finish because people never stop making new movements.


Why is parkour called parkour?

Parkour is a French word for method of movement focused on moving around obstacles with speed and efficiency. Parkour is also called Freerunnning. Parkour can be very easy if you set a goal to do it. All you have to do is set your mind to do it, find the right are, and go! Working out and building muscle is a key in freerunning. The first thing you should learn is the Dive Roll. Then the front handspring and/or the Kong Jump. OH! And learning how to hop a fence wuickly would be useful. Trust me... Im a freerunner myself.
