Dash Vault PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 23 February 2006
 

A Dash vault involves running at a wall or rail between waist and chest height and jumping legs first over the obstacle, planting your hands at the last second to push off. This vault is useful for situations where you need extra distance on the other side of the object, and is useful for a precise landing as you can see your feet.

This vault is useless for anything other than style points. Any situation you could use a dash can also be konged, with the kong having the added advantage of 2x+ the distance and about 2x the vault hieght possible. Instead of wasting time on the dash, your time would be better spent perfecting a good kong.

If you don't have a lot of room to land, or if you need to stop, this vault can be easier in certain situations to land with precision. Also, some people find it easier to do this vault than a kong. For some, going "head first" is scary; for others, going "feet first" is scary. 
 
It can also be useful to save you from a nasty bail if you misjudge/something goes wrong.
