Kong Vault - American Parkour - Parkour / Free-running

[woodzee6194]

no .. launch off two feet its better

[devster117]

@woodzee6194 a 2 foot is called a monkey vault, the prequesite of a kong vault

[woodzee6194]

@devster117 I find you take off with way more power with two feet doing long kongs..

[devster117]

@woodzee6194 yes definately, to me they're all kong vaults of u run at the thing and do do a kong/monkey vault. i just heard that the only difference between the two is that a kong is more of a running one foot take off but personally a 2 foot take-off is still a kong to me..

[LevitatingDuck]

How many times my feet have caught something and have made me faceplant with long kongs.

[theconqueror]

what is it called if you do this same move but your arms go between your legs and your legs dont go between your arms, but your knees lift up to your shoulders , kinda like a cheetah running, cause i bet soemone could get some really fast speed if they could run like that

[odinthreat]

@theconqueror I think it's called a straddle vault?

[joshieboy125]

should be abel to do from 3 metres back

[BitesHisTail]

Ok americanparkour , sorry , but you have made several mistakes when explaining this tutorial , first of , This is a long range kong , long range king kongs are scarier to do , what you actualy did , is look at his legs , he jumps on one foot and then puts one foot infront then he takes of that first foot , but there is another kong variation , it is hopping once with your legs close together , then blasting of them to jump over obstacle . So explain this first , and how to get braver to do it.

[luigisf]

I seem to be having a heck of a lot of trouble doing these, when I try, I start out putting both hands on, but then I shift my legs to the right a bit and lift my right arm as well. I'm just scared of tripping my feet I guess.

[BitesHisTail]

@luigisf well first try to do a monkey stall , it is just jumping on an object and not vaulting it but climbing on it as if dong a kong or a monkey vault , then add more and more speed , and you will get braver to actually do it :) Then when you vault it with monkey stall , or when you almost to vaulting it , then try a kong , you will be ready for it , trust me :)

[Asam360]

he's cheating!! theres a fan that helps him :O

[JuanoSoccerMan]

I have problems with my Kong Vault...Mainly in the part where I have to raise my hips.

I either dont raise them enough making me to modify the vault, or I raise them too much forcing me to flip...any tip?

My friends find weird that I can perform a Kong-to-Lazy with ease but I have trouble with the Kong. =S

[lloydp37]

your shit you done it rong

[LuckyAc3]

@lloydp37 you cant do it at all.

[addyviper]

ohh....ok...:) i prefer to do it with both of my legs....... it seems more safety to me...:)....

I want to do a front flip and a backflip........front flip is hard for me.....because i practice parkour for 2 months and just in weekends . when i perform a front flip i get down on my ,,ass,, :)) (bad english) or on my legs and ,,ass,, ........who can help me....do it please.... i am from romania....:)

[addyviper]

Lol..... That is not a kong.....in a kong you must jump with both of your feet at the same time........from the ground........ bleah ong!!! sorry for bad english

[VHParkour]

@addyviper no it doesnt matter you can do it either way one foot or two

[nodokargra]

@addyviper

the actual kong set up with your feet that your suppose to do to get more distance is a hop on your un dominant leg, then pounce from your dominant. BUT it can be done from 2 feet also, doing it with one just makes life easier

[robertej09]

Kongs never cease to amaze me! I can do a kong vault, but the two foot take off. The one in this video is a split foot takeoff right? I gotta practice that. Any tips?

[ccarson2]

thats pretty good

[andrei989]

nice

[Tregreen]

Dive kong = kong vault?

[kboy3141]

welll to perfrom a kong vault u should dive anyway.

[rejectedwolf]

would it be fine if i did this on park benches. I go jump from the side where the bench is facing and then do the rest.

[boredman443]

Speed vault. Kong is for long obstacles.

[fatfatss]

he did it with the help of the fan blowing him up

[DigiTan000]

Figures!  Everyone takes the easy route! :P

[Skatapatita]

can anyone say me the fastest way to make a kong vault without decrising speed and momentum? PLS PLS????

[DodoDaHonk]

Rofl!

They call the "Kong Vault" a "Monkey Vault", and a "Monkey Vault" a "Kong Vautl"... It's the other way round =O!

[BloodyyKing]

m8 lol i hope your not doing parkour or free running yourself cuz mixing these easy 2 up :s

[dirtjumpaddict]

no it isnt

[InMythxGodIsForce]

your the one who has mixed them up, no insult

[gimlysadasda]

parkour is about being unique, u shouldnt tell people not to do a certain move on an object, because they can do it if they want, there are no set moves for set objects.

[portal1337]

smack you with my dick

[gimlysadasda]

grow up

[amplifier8]

That was deep, but Parkour is about finding the fastest route around things -.-

[m0Rt4lSin]

not "around" things, but across things...

[AsianBorat]

That's actually a better description for free running.

[gimlysadasda]

why so?

[pathscience]

parkour is about efficiency, free running is more of an art and more about individuality. silly goose.

[gimlysadasda]

i see parkour as getting from point a to point b quickly and smoothly as possible and free running is purely show, theres hardly any flow in it.

[Ldero3]

i thought it was the other way around? Freerunning A - B and Parkour Tricks

[gimlysadasda]

nope freerunning is deffinatly tricks

[killzall13]

no exact opposite.

[chancescheatz]

@gimlysadasda

no, but your supposed to do things the best way :P your talking about freerunning

[gimlysadasda]

You mean the most efficient? Some people find different movments easier and therfore it might be more efficient for them to do it that way. Also who wants to see everyone doing the samemovment over the same obstical over and over again?

[chancescheatz]

@gimlysadasda

it doesnt have to be the SAME movement on the SAME obstacle. really, it wont be. people do things on what they feel they need to. for example, somebody might do a speed vault over an obstacle, while somebody else does a monkey vault, or someone else dash vaults it, or somebody else just jumps over it.

[gimlysadasda]

yeh thats what i ment, this was about someone saying that someone elses way of doing a certain obstical was wrong. lol

[chancescheatz]

@gimlysadasda

ehh, whatever, im confused. lol

[gimlysadasda]

yeh i am a little bit too lol. I agree with what you said though :)

[FLxXxStayPuftxXxCL]

Whats a good starting way to practice these>?

[ParkourBike182]

kong vault is a simple kong vault, king kong vault is a double kong, right?`or am i wrong?

[hillexallen]

Names don't really matter in parkour ;)

[CoD4Animal]

@hillexallen but technique does, you can't try and vault over a long obstacle the same way you would a rail.

[richnick001]

Grrr...my knees always hits my head..Any tips people?

(:

[ThaJohansson]

thats not a kong it's a diving kong! good by tha way

[celtic13dandamc]

recipe for an epic faceplant

[KezSMPK]

look how he runs up at it lol

[j4ckyb01]

i can't 1,2 foot take off! i ahve to punch up with both feet

[KezSMPK]

thats decreaes ure distance bad:/ work on it

[YamakasiParkour16]

yo lo hago mas guay y mas plegao

[skaterpunks305]

i dont really parkour that much but thats a cat leap sorry buddy

[cheeseman5678]

no its a kong vault a cat leap is when when you jump twords a wall have feet touch it and the grab the top edge opf the wall to hang

[heyyal12342]

is it still a kong vault if u put 1 hand at a time or isnt that a vault

[themidgetdemon]

no thats not a kong. its not really any named t;ype of vault but its still a vault. anything using the hands to get over an object is technically a vault

[Tyrone2412]

if you do a kong by placing one hand down, and then transition to the other hand as you move forwards, that's called a "traveling kong."

[Byt3B0y]

king kong vault not kong vault!!!!

[blueboy4rock]

its the fucking same thing..

[thaJmasta]

@blueboy4rock freerunning incorporates more aesthetic movement as parkour is made only to be an energy efficient way to negociate obstacles

[themidgetdemon]

dumb ass

[YoureyTraceur]

sdc, saut de chat

[jcole60brit]

lol, themidgetdemon, mange l'merde, YoureyTraceur, par avous francais? ou juste jure ?

[cheeseman5678]

kong vault for short meany

[yeahemocrew]

how do u monkey vault cuse ive been tryin all day!!

[jaegernaut33]

same here

[crazychasinator]

same

[KingdomHearts5575]

Monkey Vaults arn't that hard once you get used to them. First find an object about waist-height, next put your hands on the object and jump up so that your feet land on top of that object. Make sure to use your arms to push up as well. Do this a few times to get the feel of it. Next simply have your momentum carry your feet over the obstacle and land in proper form, keep working and you have a monkey vault, little brother to the kong vault in the video. Good Luck!

[agamandia]

Most importantly; START LOW. Take little babysteps and then build up!

[77josh77]

yea i learned a monkey vault without even trying its really easy just make sure u tuck ur kness high enough so u dont clip wat ur jumping and face plant.......best 2 try on were theres somthing soft if ur not 2 confident

[XinayShin]

It took me 1 friggin month to learn Monkey Vault, just did it today :)

[tylerc5512]

Congrats. I got it my first try a few minutes ago lol.

[articpolarbear1991]

i love the monkey vault

[pkunderlord]

thats a dive kong.

[Dru1dM4N]

call watever you like, it's not the names that are important you know

[cheeseman5678]

tru but it is important to know names so that you may find tutorials for t he move you want to learn

[gouldfish]

na it a kong if u dont dive its a monkey valt

[cheeseman5678]

no it is kong vault where the hell you get kong dive notice how apk are professionals yeah and on their vid it say kong vault

[EGrobinPK]

Actually, It's not.

[cheeseman5678]

actually yeah it is

[puzzles47]

what was that you were practising in a gym?

[severmine]

good demonstration of a kong, but not much a tutorial. some people are able to gather how to do moves properly just by watching good vids like this, but many aren't well coordinated but want to learn and need to be explained what to do with their bodies in great detail. Sweet demonstrations, but for pure beginners, especially those without much athletic ability or coordination, more description would be best

But awesome demonstrations! works well for me

[connor110]

do u have to kong off one foot or is it still a kong off 2?

[actor098]

its doesnt really matter its more of a personal prefferance. i kong two footed but my friend kongs off one so really it doesnt make a big difference

[ryanports69]

and i cant kong worth shit.:(

[jkole2]

in the case of high walls you would neither kong nor monkey, you would pop vault or, if you're good, kash vault, or dero flip.

[TheCreamCheeseDuo]

thats a diving kong

[Jayyyde]

and you.. are a moron.

[UrbanCurrent]

Thats a kong, you are thinking of a monkey vaults. kong are suppose to start as a dive.

[kenton250]

not bad, but thats a 'diving kong' not a 'kong' get rid of the first saw horse and you did fine (or rename it) Nice job, glad to see pk coming to america

[Hutchi117]

in a kong your feet leave the ground before your hands touch the object so all kongs are diving... learn or dont comment!

[shetlandtraceur2]

not all are diving though lol, think of really high walls

[swannvesta2]

a very good kong vault
