Video Details

The lazy vault and slide vault are two fundamental techniques used in acrobatic movements, with the lazy vault being the reverse of the slide vault. In a slide vault, the outside leg is positioned to reach the wall, while in a lazy vault, the inside leg moves back. Practicing these techniques involves adjusting body positioning to effectively drive the leading knee and foot over the obstacle and landing appropriately on the other side.

When executing the lazy vault, coordination is key. The practitioner must ensure that the inside leg goes over first, followed by the front leg. Maintaining a straight line towards the wall helps ensure proper form and a safe landing. It is also important to keep the upper body facing forward while avoiding twisting the hips. Practicing on a wall can help in mastering the movements until the correct technique becomes second nature.

Mastering both the lazy vault and slide vault adds versatility to an acrobat's skill set. Each technique has its advantages depending on the landing position or the obstacle's height. By being trained in both styles, practitioners can adapt to different scenarios when performing, enhancing their proficiency in movement and overall performance.

Key Points:

The lazy vault is the opposite of the slide vault, with different leg positioning and body mechanics.
Proper body coordination and alignment are crucial for executing the lazy vault effectively.
Mastering both the lazy vault and slide vault gives practitioners greater adaptability in various acrobatic scenarios.

The Lesson

Demonstrate a lazy-vault over a hip-height wall that is of standard brick-length or less, turning 180 degrees.

Example:

Start with the wall to your left side.
Place your left hand flat facing down on the wall using the palm.
Swing the left leg over the wall.
The right leg will follow around the wall.
Turn around 180 degrees and facing the opposite direction to the start.
Land on both feet at the same time on the other side of the wall.

You must show three repetitions in each direction.

The wall must be hip-height or greater and of standard brick-length or less.

The inside leg must takeoff first.

You must land two feet at the same time.

														19.359
														lazy vault is the reverse of this so
													
																									
														21.76
														this is where your inside leg is back
													
																									
														24.279
														because the inside leg is the one that

														is going to go over the
													
																									
														28.599
														wall let's start with uh just trying to
													
																									
														32.88

														35.96
														the wall you're going to drive that left
													
																									
														38.28

														42.879
														going to land on the wall uh on the
													
																									
														45.079

														51.239
														let's do it from the other side inside
													
																									
														53.239
														foot goes
													
																									
														54.76

														58.64
														on the same side as you feel more
													
																									
														60.84
														comfortable you can kind of go at the
													
																									
														63.359
														wall more a straighter angle but it's
													
																									
														66.52
														the same movement from here the inside
													
																									
														69.6
														leg so the um the the left foot and leg
													
																									
														73.2
														is going to go over first the front leg
													
																									
														75.759
														is going to go after so from here let's
													
																									
														78.439
														go more a straight line so from here
													
																									
														81.759
														over there and the back hand is landing
													
																									
														85
														on the W to keep my um torso facing
													
																									
														88.439
														forwards and not twisting the
													
																									
														90.88
														hips practice that on a wall and get
													
																									
														94.24
														used to sort of getting that first leg
													
																									
														97.079
														over and then pushing away with the
