Pop Vault

[WatiTheChef]

Most useful move in parkour. I made sure I could do it perfectly on walls up to 7 feet.

[Athire5]

oh my god the person in the vid looks like my friend austin xD

[TACOfarmerXD]

I learned this but with a monkey instead.

[StBrahmintippa]

0:53 listen to the song

[masonburgess1998]

oh wow i though he was going to go over the BIG wall not the gay ass small wall

[st1wPNV]

dude u must not use your knees when u climb a wall

[semillasdelorto]

kneecap on wall???? NEVER DO THAT

[rancy240]

@ParkourBlog the guy who thumbs up your comments which is me needs to practise alot and alot on pop vaults. i call them "poppies"

[shrebeady]

First Pop wasn't a wall run.... No kick into the wall what so ever... Don't push down push into the wall and bring your other knee up followed by the other propelling your momentum upwards

[Moshikashitenai]

The guy singing sounds like he's saying, "Magic whale tits!"

[parkourninja137]

land on the balls of your feet, you are landing flat on them and it wont hurt as much when you land on the front half of your feet.

[shrebeady]

@parkourninja137

YOur ment to land on your toes

[Polairis42]

Does it make a big difference to have good shoes? I mean of course it does, but does it make a big difference?

[shrebeady]

@Polairis42

I personally use K-Swiss Ariakes *Light Mesh* and yes! My second pair recently got stolen but they were so worth it... The shock absorbtion is amazing if your landing correctly. The grip on the shoe makes it feel like you can walk up walls. If your going to get shoes get Ariake Light Mesh... Only problem is there impossible to get in the UK. I had to import mine from Latvia

[Polairis42]

@shrebeady thanks man. I've been using some old beat up shoes I used a year ago while running cross country. The traction has just been terrible. Anyway I'll check out the Ariake Light Mesh and hopefully i'll be able to conquer a few more obsticles.

[MrKiko8]

Thx, that video is perfect! :D i will try that outside but if i fall ;'( !!!

[larsiversen95]

that knee should really not touch anything.. contact points are suppose to be hands and feet. (except when you roll)

[Kirby98786]

there's no place where i can practice any parkour techniques :(

advice anyone?

[nextpkfr]

@Kirby98786 I have the same problem, but when you really look you'll find there are a lot more places than you'd think. For example, some window sills are great from arm jumps/cat leaps, but you wouldn't notice at first glance. Keep searching. Parks and especially schools are great, or try a gymnastics gym.

[jambah1234]

oh shit the klaxons! nice tutorial too

[TheRussianGlory]

Uh, I always have the fear that when Im gonna be bring my legs over the wall, they are gonna get caught and I might do a face plant

[warrior95serbia]

@TheRussianGlory You can't do a faceplant , you would fall on your hands , thought , that might hurt your shoulders

[yeticnn]

It's a tutorial ??

[brave9295]

see i can do all the shit you can do but i know that its beginner standard i want to see you jump off a 30 foot bridge and commit suicide you genocidal freak!!

[maiolo96]

sorry man but thats easy that hight

[parkourlover96]

sorry i was mistaken by the last one

[pennyandtaylor]

its a very helpful move but im confused about the foot placement when you jump to the wall do you use the ball of your foot or the side of the foot

[ViralTick327]

use toe and ball of foot, always use toes and ball

[zilverhd]

u use the ball of your foot to propel yourself upwards try that first

[ma0ma0ma0]

ball

[meatabuse]

Always on the ball.

[leedade]

you use the ball of your foot just as in a wall run to get maximum height

[yeticnn]

Ball :)

[ScottReflex92]

that's not very difficult..i learned this move very fast and my friend who's never been done parkour before did it on his first "parkour"day ;)

i just want to encourage you! ;)

[JewTimes2]

I'm just learning I've done a pop vault before on a fence but it wasn't flat there was a little ledge I used to pop myself up my shoes were shit anyway. Now I got new shoes I bet I could do this on a fence at my school. I can already 2 hand vault over it if I jump really high but the pop vault would flow better

[Flatline89]

Try to avoid using the knees. That can cause damage in the long term. Pull you feet right up onto the wall and when you do that it flows nicer as well.

[ParkourBlog]

Thats only really on landings isn't it? its not like the pop vault puts that great an amount of pressure on them? and without the reverb force from the knees blocking against the wall you can't do a pop.

[theloneminkus]

I think he means try not to put your knee on the all when you are doing this. It may not feel like a lot of pressure on them but a small amount of pressure over and over can cause damage.

[buttersownsuall]

He only used his knees to demonstrate the steps

[BrainDeadZombies]

@ParkourBlog In the long run, the using your knees to get on top of an obstacle will put stress on it and make them sore, causing it to be difficult to Parkour. Also, with practice, using your foot to get on top of an obstacle proves to be much faster then using your knee.

[Miskingo]

@Flatline89 - You're a base head... the knees are damaged from falls not from pushing off of things. According to what you just said walking is really bad for the knees as well (yeah im aware walking does eventually cause the knees to break down slightly, but im just saying the move is no more dangerous than walking.)

[pokesiny]

@Flatline89 lol yah no kidding i was doing wall runs and something distracted me and i slammed my knee on the wall

[NIStreakz]

@Flatline89 How can it cause damage long term?



[millazz11]

thanks you helped me youll get a mention in my vids

[viet925]

i love this move for some reason hehe

[parkourbull]

:Plol

[sparkru]

[JUMEK18]

Good, gooood.

[JamieJ332]

I can now do pop vaults YAY ! you'r great at tutorial's !!!

[sircaspian1]

pop vault is one of the easiest moves you can do

[ParkourBlog]

mmm...i dunno,ifound it easy and obv u did 2, but i know loads who had problems with it

[UnholyDeathM]

im alryt @ this move but when u muck it up and smash ur knee on the wall it hurts sooo much

:(

[vito452]

nice i learned it to:D

[Blober112]

ahah cool! yup im trying this one :D

[AxosHacks]

BAAAAG, wrong on 00 33 ur doing wrong, u will hurt ur right foot if u will do this quickly

[ParkourBlog]

i'm sorry, but i fail to see what i'm doing wrong? Its called a pop..its 2 elevate me over the object

[Rishnai]

I believe he means the fact that it looks like you are kinda jamming your toes into the wall. I assume you are actually hitting with the ball of your foot and immediately pushing down to get the proper traction, though.

[ParkourBlog]

nah i am hitting the wall with my toes, they bend and my arms pull me up on the wall, as they pull, i jump up from the toes and coz of the lift i get its basically like i'm jumping up and over. I dnt see wots wrong with that

[Boeing757basher07]

Your doing nothing wrong, Ignore assholes like that, Ive been doing parkour for 4 years and run a small little group down in stratford. thats exactly how i was taught and will proform the Pop Vault. 5* and brilliant demo.

[Kuzminent]

[SoccerOwnsYourFace]
