The turn vault technique is crucial when a performer finds themselves with excessive forward momentum while landing on a wall. This maneuver allows the athlete to transition smoothly into an arm jump position or a similar stance to mitigate the risk of falling or losing their balance. By executing the turn vault, the performer can effectively drop and save themselves, displaying a combination of agility and control just before landing.
The procedure begins with the athlete jumping across the surface to initiate the turn vault. It resembles a conventional straight turn vault but modifies crucial aspects to adapt to the specific scenario of landing on a rail or wall. The technique involves a structured sequence where the performer transitions from the jump into the arm jump position, executing a half-turn and preparing for a stable landing.
Through careful timing and body positioning, the turn vault integrates a descending motion that enables the individual to navigate forward momentum effectively. By dropping to one hand and shifting to the arm jump position, a practitioner can land safely while maintaining control. This technique ultimately reinforces the importance of adapting movement strategies based on situational dynamics in parkour practice.
Key Points:
- The turn vault technique is used to manage excessive forward momentum when landing, allowing for a safe transition into an arm jump position.
- The maneuver combines elements of a traditional turn vault and an arm jump to create a fluid movement upon landing.
- Proper execution involves precise timing and body control to facilitate a secure landing while mitigating the risk of losing balance.
You must demonstrate a rail precision to turn vault precision. You can take-off from any obstacle, but must land on a railing from a two-footed broad jump. Land both feet on the railing and transition into a turn-vault on the far side of the railing.
Land in a precision under the rail from the turn-vault.
The distance of the rail-precision must be 5-steps or greater.
This is to show that you can transition into a turn-vault from a rail precision - which is good as a bailing technique to save yourself from over-powering the jump.
The railing must be hip-height or greater.
You must demonstrate doing the turn-vault in both directions.

1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000 another reason for the turn vault is 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000 when you do a turn Vault into a cap 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:19,000 position or an arm jump position 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000 you sometimes do it from a bailing 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000 technique point of view so it's 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000 generally uh when you've landed in a 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Precision on top of a wall and you've 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000 got too forward momentum you want to 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 drop and save yourself that's where that 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000 sort of turn Vault into the arm jump 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,000 position happens so again it's it's 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000 similar to the straight turn volt from 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000 the ground but this time it's landing on 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:59,000 the rail and turning into that arm jump 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000 position so you it's sort of half a turn 16 00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:08,000 volt half a arm jump position so from 17 00:00:64,000 --> 00:01:12,000 here I'm going to jump across and then 18 00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:16,000 end up in the turn Vault so 19 00:00:72,000 --> 00:01:17,000 again jump across drop and then into 20 00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:20,000 that 21 00:00:78,000 --> 00:01:23,000 position so again the turn volt action 22 00:00:81,000 --> 00:01:26,000 happens you drop to one hand drop to the 23 00:00:83,000 --> 00:01:27,000 other go down into the arm jump and yeah 24 00:00:87,000 --> 00:01:30,000 that's where you would use it as a bow 25 00:00:88,000 --> 00:01:32,000 technique you land Ed you've got too 26 00:00:90,000 --> 00:01:36,000 much forward momentum you can turn and 27 00:00:93,000 --> 00:01:36,000 drop into it
