Video Details

The slide pull mounting technique involves a rapid upward movement to gain speed and maintain momentum while transitioning onto a rail. The primary focus during execution should be on one foot, which helps in achieving balance and control, while also allowing performers to pay special attention to the more challenging inside leg. The key is to establish grip and turn toward a perpendicular position, ensuring that the foot placement is done effectively to maintain stability.

A successful slide pull requires pushing off with the ball of the foot, which is crucial for achieving the necessary control while on the rail. Proper arm positioning enhances balance during this maneuver, as arms should extend straight in front. Additionally, the technique emphasizes the importance of constant practice, as consistency can be difficult to achieve.

Overall, mastery of the slide pull mount is achievable through diligent practice, and becoming proficient in the technique can significantly improve performance. It's vital to focus on gradually building up the skill set required, paying attention to footwork and balance, and utilizing the body's natural mechanics effectively during the execution of this advanced movement.

Key Points:

  1. The slide pull mounting technique emphasizes rapid upward movement and balance, focusing on one foot while ensuring proper foot placement.
  2. Using the ball of the foot for control and maintaining arm position for balance are critical components of executing the maneuver successfully.
  3. Consistent practice is essential for mastering the slide pull mount, allowing for improved confidence and skill in the technique.

The Lesson

This movement is to demonstrate that you can mount a rail at an angle with momentum.

  1. Start facing the rail.
  2. Place both hands further down the rail to your right. The left hand should be past the right hip bone.
  3. Pull the rail as you jump along the rail to the right.
  4. Both feet should land on the rail to the right of both hands.
  5. Release the rail with the hands and finish in a crouched position.

You must stay in the crouch for 10 seconds on the rail.

You should have travelled along the rail more than 2-steps.

The rail must be circular and no greater than standard scaffolding bar width.

You must repeat three times, moving on both sides.

okay that is a slide pull so with this
12.519
mounting technique the idea is that you
14.559
are going to pull slide upwards and then
18.48
Mount this is a much faster movement
21.6
it's usually used for kind of continuing
24.16
on and doing other things but getting
27.039
onto the rail um at speed is kind of of
30.199
the idea here you can build this up
32.68
again uh focus on just one foot so as
35.52
you slide just focus on getting that one
37.96
foot on you can then focus on the inside
41.32
leg that's the harder one so as you pull
44.76
try and get that inside one up and then
47.28
try and do both
49.44
um the pull is what's going to give you
52
the momentum to get up and turn you're
56.239
sort of coming along the rail and then
59.12
turning in to your perpendicular and you
62.559
really want to get the ball of the foot
64.199
doing the work again here because the
66.479
ball of the foot is what's going to give
68.119
you control when you are on the rail um
73.119
make sure yeah that your arms are once
75.4
you're pulled they come straight out in
76.84
front of you that's also going to help
78.64
with the balance um but yeah that is the
82.759
slide pull mount um very hard to do uh
88.28
consistently but practice just makes
90.439
perfect again um just keep going at it
93.24
keep practicing and uh yeah it'll come
95.68
along

the idea here you can build this up

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
again uh focus on just one foot so as

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
you slide just focus on getting that one

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000

really want to get the ball of the foot

20
00:00:64,000 --> 00:01:07,000
doing the work again here because the

21
00:00:66,000 --> 00:01:12,000
