A garbage collector from Sydney turned himself into one of the most watched names in freerunning, and his November reel proves why.

Dominic Di Tommaso doesn’t need a five-story building and a made-up backstory to get attention — his real one is wild enough. Known online as DOMTOMATO, the Australian freerunner spent November 2019 stacking rooftop drops, precision gap jumps, and his signature diving front flip into a new “FreeDom” Instagram compilation, the latest entry in a monthly series that’s become required viewing for parkour fans.

• Di Tommaso, born in Sydney on May 14, 1992, moved from competitive figure skating and ballet into parkour in 2007, training first with the Australian crew Crew 42.
• He joined the international freerunning collective Team Farang in 2016 alongside Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns, and later signed on as a Red Bull freerunning athlete, competing at events like Red Bull Art of Motion.
• The “FreeDom” series documents his monthly street training across different cities and rooftops, built around his trademark diving front flips and high-impact urban drops.

From the Rink to the Rooftops

Di Tommaso’s path into parkour is unusual for the sport. Before he was chasing rooftop lines, he was a competitive figure skater and ballet dancer, disciplines that gave him the core control and air awareness that show up in every one of his flips today. He worked as a sanitation worker — a garbage collector — while building his skills on the side, a detail that’s become part of his origin story as much as any of his stunts.

He picked up parkour and freerunning in 2007, training locally with Crew 42 before his jumps started drawing outside attention. That grind eventually connected him with the sport’s biggest stage.

Team Farang and the Red Bull Circuit

In 2016, Di Tommaso joined Team Farang, the freerunning collective built around Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns — two of the most recognizable names in the discipline. The move put him in direct company with athletes competing at the top of international freerunning, and it wasn’t long before Red Bull signed him as a sponsored athlete, putting him on the roster for events like Red Bull Art of Motion, one of the sport’s premier judged competitions.

DOMTOMATO’s monthly reels are built on one signature move — the diving front flip off a rooftop edge — repeated across a different skyline every time.

Building DOMTOMATO’s Following

Under the handle DOMTOMATO, Di Tommaso has built a large following on Instagram and YouTube by releasing monthly compilations of his training, and the format has stayed consistent: real street spots, no green screen, no stunt doubles. The “FreeDom” series is the umbrella for that footage, and the November 2019 edition keeps to the same formula — precision jumps between ledges, large-gap leaps, and drops that look far more casual than they should. Fans looking for a similarly stripped-down look at obstacle-based movement can check out the Floor is LAVA Parkour Challenge, which runs on the same reflexes and spatial awareness that define Di Tommaso’s rooftop work.

The appeal isn’t just the danger — it’s the repetition. Every clip in the November reel reinforces that this is trained movement, not improvisation, which is exactly the distinction Di Tommaso and his Team Farang peers have spent years trying to draw between parkour and reckless stunt content.

Future Strategic Outlook

With Red Bull Art of Motion and the wider freerunning calendar building toward another competitive season, Di Tommaso’s monthly Instagram drops double as both highlight reels and training logs — proof of reps between judged events. The next “FreeDom” upload will almost certainly push the same formula further: a new rooftop, a new gap, and that same diving front flip landing him exactly where he wants to be.
