From your post ek2 I cant tell if your being skeptical or mocking. I'll choose the former because no one on this site seems to be genually like that.
It's fair to say I might be exaggerating because I havent done them in a really long while, but I seriously believe that after my month of practicing; I'm about 92% sure, that I was geting 4-5 feet up and 12 feet of distance.
I'm sorry, but at the moment i cant prove anything to you because I dont have a camera. What I can do is go outside later and try a few horizontal wallruns to make sure my estimates of where I was, are up to my current relm of abilities. You'll just have to take my word for it untill I can prove it to you.
I try my hardest to earn peoples respect, so i will not BS you on this, or any other, fourm.

Lol this will sound odd to you, but many people wonder the same thing of me. Counciously I compiled all the fragments of memories I have of doing the move then, took into account the clarity, and possible exaggeration of the mental images due to feelings, biases, hopes ect. Then based on how many sure instances I had versus the not so sure ones I mentally came up with 92%. I'm very analytical and this may seem wierd to you, but thats it lol.

I don't think my height is anything all that impressive. I know of at least 2 people who can do it on a brick wall.

I'd like to see either of you get the height and distance that your claiming
This is the best i could find, i don't have any photos or videos of what i do, i just measure the space i play in. These pictures are a wall run off of an angled wall and for that i apologize, they were also around when i was first getting wall runs down and so please be aware that i have improved since this time. so the first photo is of a 3 step wall run on its second step and the second photo is the only other photo of me wall running ever completing another less impressive 3 step wall run. I know that this doesn't settle the issue and i will be sure that the next meet i am at where someone has a camera i will have them film my wall run and i will post it. http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/4/8/8/highres_4461640.jpeghttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/4/1/b/highres_4461531.jpeg |

I've always wondered what the limit was for horizontal wall runs in terms of number of steps. My best is 3. I once did 4 with a corner, but I don't count that for horizontal. I've tried to get more by taking shorter steps, but I still end up at 3.
I really want to see a video of someone doing 5 steps. That's seriously crazy!

O.k. Today i did a 4 step horizontal wall run on brick flat wall. I traveled about 7 feet forward and six feet high at the apex. i used my height to measure, i am 6' tall and i placed my top foot on the line of bricks that my head reached, three from the top, the distance is just what it looked like so i have to idea in reality what it was, but 7 seems pretty fair. verified by standers by as well, who didn't seems very pleased ( i was at a bus stop ). so i need to get a camera to prove it but this is the truth as best i can tell it.
Piknik benches around here are 8 feet and 5.5 feet around here. I measured for kongs, still can't kong either yet.

When I first started I would go out and try to do a horizontal wall-run, but It just proved to be annoying and my steps were like 8 inches apart. There was no point for me. That isn't to say you guys are wayyyy better at it than I was. However, from those pictures Tai you seemed to be going around a corner? Am I right in thinking that? In that case I can do two steps on the first wall before pushing off to step on the second wall. So in all about 3 steps. (However, that last step on the second wall was the equivalent of me kicking it  ) I didn't measure the height or anything. But, I can get a pretty decent height with my one foot one step deal!! |

indeed i am, however i can do the height and distance i stated earlier on a flat wall. Yeah i still haven't found a place to use this, but when i do i am sure it will look cool. |

Been sick guys just now recovering lol. Ok so when i retried my wall run the hight and distance where confirmed, but I was incorrect on the steps. I could only manage a max of four on the wall. Looks like my slaking is showing lol.
Seattle is really not being traceur friendly right now, but what do you expect it's fall. lol
