PARKOUR
TECHNIQUE
THE SPEED VAULT (Passement)
The Speed Vault is a vital move in your parkour arsenal.
It's exactly what the name suggests, it's a vault at speed.
In enables you to take on walls and rails as if they don't
exist. Timing, balance and a high degree of nerve are paramount
to perfect and efficient execution.
The key is to maintain your speed without deviating from your
trajectory path, this results in one fluid motion.
 |
STEP
1
Binary runs up to the obstacle at a constant speed,
(parkour is a practice of continuous movement). He'll
carry this same speed through the entire vault.
|
 |
STEP
2
He's going to use his right hand for the speed vault
and ensures that the length of his stride will put him
exactly in the right position for launch. With practise,
this process becomes an automated process. Any minor
adjustments are almost impossible to detect.
|
 |
STEP
3
The last step before takeoff. Binary will be using his
right hand and therefore taking off from his right foot,
the foot closest to the obstacle. You may have your
favourite, but always practise your weaker side as much,
if not more, than your stronger side. You'll be opening
yourself for more options in your run.
|
 |
STEP
4
If you look at the height of Binary's head, it will
remain at the same height throughout the entire movement,
even though the landing position of this vault was 30cm
above the takeoff point.
His right hand makes contact but does not carry the
weight of his body. It's merely applies enough force
to lift his legs.
|
 |
STEP
5
You need to get your body low and your legs parallel
with the surface. Do not loose speed. This is where
drilling movements and vaults can help improve your
technique.
|
 |
STEP
6
Binary's head has remained level and his body comes
back down on his leading right foot.
No unnecessary energy has been expelled and he exits
the vault at exactly the same speed as he entered it.
Beautiful!
