Video Details

To successfully execute a dash vault, one should first build up their skills with a slide vault, which utilizes the outside leg. Gradually, the angle of approach should be adjusted from parallel to becoming more perpendicular to the obstacle. This transition allows for a smoother movement into the dash vault as one gaining comfort with the technique. It’s important to practice leading with one leg and eventually using both hands during takeoff for balanced landing.

Starting practice with a slide vault aids in developing the necessary confidence and technique. Utilizing the momentum from a run-up to help lift both legs over the obstacle is crucial. As one progresses, focusing on leaning on a single hand initially may assist in getting comfortable before utilizing both hands at once for the landing. Achieving the dash vault transforms it into a versatile skill that can connect with movements such as a cat pass for an engaging flow.

Practicing the dash vault not only strengthens physical abilities but also enhances the ability to overcome various obstacles with ease. It promotes fluidity in transitioning between maneuvers like the dash vault to the cat pass, maximizing efficiency when navigating spaces. Ultimately, whether practiced on the ground or against a wall, implementing these techniques aids in developing fun and effective parkour skills.

Key Points:

  1. Begin with the slide vault to build confidence before attempting the dash vault, gradually changing the approach angle.
  2. Start with one hand for balance and usage of both hands for landing as comfort increases.
  3. The dash vault enhances flow in parkour and can connect seamlessly to other maneuvers, maximizing efficiency.

The Lesson

Demonstrate a complete dash-vault with a box-jump/hurdle-jump over a knee-height or greater wall.

Example:

  1. Start standing in-front of the hip-height or greater wall.
  2. Box-jump or hurdle-jump over the wall, aiming past the wall.
  3. Place both hands on the corner of the wall, on each side of you, slightly behind as you pass over.
  4. Extend legs forwards and land on both feet.

The box-jump can have momentum from additional steps and does not need to be a strict two-foot box-jump take-off.

You must use the flat part of the palm of the hands. No steepling.

You must land on both feet at the same time on the ground.

The wall must be knee-height or greater and can be any width.

You must repeat three times.

5.64

														
all right so now you're at the point

													

																									

														
7.52

														
where you want to do the full Dash volt

													

																									

														
10.36

														
the one way you can do this is if you've

													

																									

														
13.32

														
been able to do the slide vault which is

													

																									

														
17.64

														
outside leg you can build up to doing

													

																									

														
20.96

														
the dash Vault but sort of slowly

													

																									

														
24.119

														
turning the angle from parallel so where

													

																									

														
27.24

														
you would do the slide Vault here to

													

																									

														
29.359

														
purple IC where you're going over here

													

																									

														
31.519

														
and you're leading with one leg so very

													

																									

														
35.48

														
similar to the uh lazy Vault uh when

													

																									

														
39.48

														
it's the inside leg but it would now be

													

																									

														
42.28

														
the outside

													

																									

														
43.76

														
leg okay so the dash Vault and oh the

													

																									

														
47.559

														
other thing is you can also uh use one

													

																									

														
50.199

														
hand to begin with so lean on the hand

													

																									

														
52.12

														
and then join with the other hand and

													

																									

														
53.84

														
then later on you can get both at the

													

																									

														
56.399

														
same time so from here over so we do do

													

																									

														
60.12

														
a slide Vault and then as you get more

													

																									

														
63

														
comfortable you can jump over and both

													

																									

														
66.439

														
hands land kind of at the same time and

													

																									

														
69.479

														
yeah this

													

																									

														
70.88

														
becomes the dash Vault where both hands

													

																									

														
73.4

														
land at the exact same time um and you

													

																									

														
77

														
should have cracked the dash Vault with

													

																									

														
79.28

														
doing that so slide Vault slowly

													

																									

														
83

														
increase the angle so it starts to

													

																									

														
84.72

														
become perpendicular running at it

													

																									

														
87.96

														
bringing the outside leg leaning on one

													

																									

														
90.68

														
hand to begin with and slowly getting it

													

																									

														
92.88

														
so you aren't using that hand only both

													

																									

														
96.399

														
hands on the exit um and that would be

													

																									

														
99.799

														
the full dashall um it's great exercise

													

																									

														
102.799

														
great way of overcoming an obstacle and

													

																									

														
105.64

														
it's a good way of combining multiple

													

																									

														
108.56

														
movements together a a lot of the time

													

																									

														
110.439

														
you'll find people doing a dash and then

													

																									

														
113.88

														
straight into a cat pass onto a second

													

																									

														
116.479

														
wall um and this is because the flow

													

																									

														
120.32

														
kind of lends itself to being behind and

													

																									

														
124.119

														
then transitioning forward to being in

													

																									

														
126.6

														
front so your torso is behind you and

													

																									

														
130.36

														
then you can step forwards and you're

													

																									

														
132.28

														
kind of using that momentum of going

													

																									

														
134.28

														
back into a forward position to take you

													

																									

														
136.959

														
into a camp pass so that's another video

													

																									

														
139.92

														
but yeah practice the dash Vault

													

																									

														
141.879

														
practice on a wall make sure you're

													

																									

														
143.64

														
doing it outside and yeah have some fun

then later on you can get both at the

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
same time so from here over so we do do

20
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:06,000

back into a forward position to take you

47
00:00:136,000 --> 00:01:80,000
into a camp pass so that's another video

48
00:00:139,000 --> 00:01:82,000
but yeah practice the dash Vault

49
00:00:141,000 --> 00:01:88,000
practice on a wall make sure you're

50
00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:88,000
doing it outside and yeah have some fun
