Video Details

In this session, the focus is on practicing a maneuver known as the high slide vault, a technique where one performs a slide while transitioning over an obstacle to land on the other side. This technique can be particularly effective when there is a rail or edge with a drop on the other side, allowing for variations in height and drop intensity as the practice progresses. The practitioner demonstrates the movements involved, emphasizing the importance of maintaining control while executing the maneuver.

Practicing with both hands and legs, the individual highlights how to properly position oneself to ensure a safe landing. The importance of body mechanics is key, as they demonstrate how to use their hands to control speed and stability during the drop. With the goal of increasing height gradually, the individual encourages careful attention to landing techniques, aiming to land on the balls of the feet to absorb impact effectively.

The overall aim of this practice is to build confidence and control while executing the high slide vault, which ultimately opens up opportunities for additional movements post-landing. Continuously increasing the challenge by adjusting the height of the slide is encouraged, and practicing both sides helps in developing balanced skills. This exercise promotes a sense of achievement and the capability to transition smoothly to further actions in a dynamic environment.

Key points:

  1. The high slide vault technique involves transitioning over an obstacle while maintaining control and ensuring safe landings.
  2. Proper body mechanics and hand positioning are essential for controlling descent and stability during the maneuver.
  3. Gradual height increases and practicing both sides are critical for developing confidence and balanced skills in performing the vault.

The Lesson

Slide-vault over a hip-height obstacle (wall, block or rail) at a constant speed, with no slowing down or pausing. You must be going at a jogging-pace or faster.

The must also be a greater drop on the far slide of the vault that is hip-height or more to the bas of the obstacle. (Effectively making the height of the floor to the top of the obstacle twice hip-height.

Land on one foot and still run out of the vault at a continuous speed.

You must repeat three times on each side.

so the slide
7.76
Vault
9.599
um doing a high slide is uh where you do
15.28
the slide Vault or thief or um slide
18.76
monkey whatever you call it um to a drop
22.519
on the other side and you know if you
24.359
can find something where you've got a
26.039
rail with a drop on the other side this
28
is great I've got a brilliant situ here
30.64
environment here because I can slowly
32.399
increase the drop the further I go back
35.28
so uh this is my offside so I'm going to
37.96
practice with my right hand and my left
40.079
leg going over and then to the drop so
43.36
from here over and drop notice that hand
47.76
was slowing me down on the drop um
51.32
that's good so that means that I'm
52.84
keeping my hips the right way and this
55
hand is slowing me down I'm going to do
56.92
another one
60.519
let's now go a little bit higher so same
65.08
deal um I
67.64
can slide Vault and this second hand is
71.439
going to Slow Me Down uh on The Descent
74
so from here over and drop okay I'm
78.759
landing on the balls of the feet two
80.36
feet um yeah this high slide it's a lot
84.56
of fun it means you you're in control
86.96
you can you know exactly where you are
89.079
your Landings good and it means you can
91.24
keep going and do something else
93.28
straight after um yeah it's a very
96.04
controlled movement um practice that
99.32
increasing the height make sure you do
101.36
both sides let's do the other side
103.2
instead so I'm going to be facing away
106.479
from here left and drop so you can see
109.719
this hand is on and I'm landing balls of
112.399
the feet give that a go increase the
114.68
height and see how you get on

1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
so the slide

Vault

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:18,000
um doing a high slide is uh where you do

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
the slide Vault or thief or um slide

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
monkey whatever you call it um to a drop

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
on the other side and you know if you

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
can find something where you've got a

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
rail with a drop on the other side this

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
is great I've got a brilliant situ here

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
environment here because I can slowly

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
increase the drop the further I go back

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
so uh this is my offside so I'm going to

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
practice with my right hand and my left

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000
leg going over and then to the drop so

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
from here over and drop notice that hand

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
was slowing me down on the drop um

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
that's good so that means that I'm

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
keeping my hips the right way and this

deal um I

23
00:00:67,000 --> 00:01:13,000
can slide Vault and this second hand is

24
00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:18,000
going to Slow Me Down uh on The Descent

25
00:00:74,000 --> 00:01:20,000
so from here over and drop okay I'm

26
00:00:78,000 --> 00:01:23,000
landing on the balls of the feet two

27
00:00:80,000 --> 00:01:26,000
feet um yeah this high slide it's a lot

28
00:00:84,000 --> 00:01:28,000
of fun it means you you're in control

29
00:00:86,000 --> 00:01:30,000
