Practicing the lazy vault can feel intimidating, particularly when attempting it on a rail. It's beneficial to start by practicing on the edges of the rail to build confidence. Using props, like a stick, can help make the initial attempts less daunting, allowing for a safer practice environment where there isn't a fear of damaging equipment or injuring oneself.
To effectively practice the lazy vault, it’s essential to focus on the placement of the legs and hands. Starting with your inside leg going over the edge of the rail can help you get accustomed to the movement without the added complexity of worrying about clearance over the top of the rail. Gradually building up to executing the vault correctly allows you to gain more confidence and control of your body movements.
As comfort levels increase, one can progress to thinking about completing the vault over the rail. This technique offers a structured approach to mastering the lazy vault, moving from basic positioning to executing the full maneuver. It emphasizes the importance of practice and incremental improvements to achieve better technique without rushing into the full jump.
Key Points:
- Begin practicing the lazy vault on the edges of a rail to build confidence and safety.
- Focus on proper leg and hand positioning to simplify the learning process.
- Gradually progress to executing the full lazy vault as comfort and skill develop.
Demonstrate a lazy-vault around the end of a hip-height railing or wall. This is to show that you have the correct movement mechanics without including the height.
Example:
- Start with the rail to your left side and face the end of the rail.
- Grab the rail with your left hand in a pronated grip (facing down)
- Swing the left leg around the rail (no need to go over the rail).
- The right leg will follow around the rail.
- Turn around the end 180 degrees and facing the opposite direction to the start.
- Land on the left foot first.
You must show three repetitions in each direction.
The inside leg must takeoff first.
The rail must be hip-height or greater.
