The diving cat pass is a challenging yet useful technique in parkour that involves a specific jumping motion. To execute this maneuver, one must leap slightly higher while engaging their hips and shoulders to dive forward. This technique allows for clearing obstacles, such as walls or blocks, and landing smoothly on the opposite side while maintaining a forward lean for better trajectory.
To successfully master the diving cat pass, it is important to practice on smaller, thinner surfaces before progressing to wider obstacles. The focus should be on maintaining proper body alignment and trajectory during the jump. As riders become more comfortable with the technique, they can gradually challenge themselves with larger distances and heights.
Safety is key when practicing the diving cat pass. Start with manageable challenges to build confidence, ensuring that each attempt aligns with personal comfort levels. By taking this gradual approach, individuals can safely develop their skills in parkour.
Key points:
- The diving cat pass involves a higher jump and forward dive, allowing for smooth transitions over obstacles.
- Gradual practice on smaller surfaces is essential for mastering the technique before tackling larger ones.
- Safety through gradual challenge progression is crucial for building confidence in parkour skills.
Using a bag or any item that is knee-height or greater, place it three steps in front of a hip-height wall.
You need to demonstrate a diving cat-pass over the lower item and over the main wall. You entire body needs to be in the air for a moment. As you jump and your feet leave the ground, your hands must not be touching the wall yet.
You hands must land flat on the palm and there must not be any twisting in the movement.
Repeat five times, not touching the knee-height item.
