I just started Parkour and was wondering is it possible to Lazy/Monkey Vault over a 5 foot wall? I can do it no problem on like a 3-4 foot wall. But any higher my foot gets caught and its annoying. So my question is, is it just because I just started and I need more practice? Or is it just impossible and I should just Pop/Gate vault over it?

Lazy vault over five feet? Ummm... I can't say I haven't done it, because I have. Monkeying something that is five feet isn't too bad. Yes it is possible, but it really does depend on you. How strong you are, how tall you are, etc.

I would say that it is, though in a lazy you would have to basically lie down in mid-air to clear it.

Just thinking about it, a 5 foot Lazy? Seems dumb high haha. Id probably get scared of smacking my foot and falling. As for the monkey I just think its my strength.

Here's a good video on the monkey vault. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoSHryz88l0It taught me a lot about the monkey that I didn't realize I was doing and how to correct them. |

Honestly, your best bet is probably to just do a small pop vault. It expends much less energy and the likeliness of you clipping a foot is reduced. It's definitely possible to do a monkey or a lazy over a wall that high, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to do it, you know?

U have to understand that noting in pakour is impossible. if ur trying to vault a 5 foot wall.. try doing a wallrun, then vaulting, for extra height.

Oh well Yea a wall run would clear a 5 foot wall no problem. Im just saying is it possible just to Lazy Vault / Monkey vault it. Without wall running or climbing it.

5 foot wallrun? Thats like a wallrun for a 3 foot person. I would say a 5 foot wall would be more of a pop-vault... (unless of course you Lazy/Monkey it)
