BIOGRAPHY
Ruben Roldan is a rare kind of parkour practitioner: where most traceurs have two legs, he has only one. Yet he hasn’t let losing a leg in a tractor accident 12 years ago at the age of nine stop him from rising to the challenges of his chosen sport.
He now holds three Guinness World Record titles under the LA1 impairment classification: highest running jump onto a platform, farthest standing jump parkour dash, and highest vertical leap with a running start.
He enjoys overcoming not only the physical barriers, but also the mental ones. His feats motivate many and show that the only limits are those you impose on yourself.
