The lazy vault technique on the rail requires careful execution, particularly when it comes to switching hands behind the back. Maintaining one hand while transitioning to the other is essential for balance and success in the maneuver. Attention to detail, especially regarding the thumb position and hand grasp, is vital for achieving the correct technique and landing safely after the vault.
When attempting the lazy vault, it is important to emphasize the inside leg's position, which should come up and over as you perform the switch to the opposite hand. This movement not only enhances control but also contributes to the overall fluidity of the motion. Practicing the transition from different angles can help solidify the technique, making it easier to adapt in real-time situations.
To summarize, effective execution of the lazy vault on a rail hinges on practicing hand positioning, maintaining balance through transitions, and refining the technique through repeated attempts and adjustments. With an emphasis on accuracy, the vault becomes a smoother and more controlled maneuver.
Key points:
- Switching hands accurately behind the back is crucial for performing the lazy vault effectively.
- The inside leg should be lifted and positioned properly to facilitate a smooth transition.
- Proper thumb positioning and practice can enhance control and improve overall technique in executing the vault.
Demonstrate a lazy-vault over a hip-height railing, landing on the balls of the foot with two feet at the same time.
Example:
- Start with the rail to your left side.
- Grab the rail with your left hand in a pronated grip (facing down)
- Swing the left leg 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 both feet at the same time on the other side.
You must show three repetitions in each direction.
The rail must be hip-height or greater.
The inside leg must takeoff first.
You must land two feet at the same time.
