Monkeys are fun on rails. Get enough explosion and you do get a nice flying sensation. Thief's come in first on walls and ledges though.

My fav would be the Dash. A lot of people, at least who I've talked to, don't like it and think it is harder and dangerous. I think it is actually a lot EASIER than some of the others. I also like to put in a little flair by doing a 360 rotation after the dash (push off more on one arm making yourself spin off of the obstacle).

Turn Vault.

I like to slow down the motion in my mind and it's pretty much awesome.
Aren't we all running?

gustav is officially allowed to make fun of me now, just look at the "vaults you have invented" thread. lmao.


Anyway, my favorite is probably speed. i dont think its nearly as versatile as kong, but its so fast and very fun. Plus, i just did a speed over this huge transformer box thing, and it was really awesome.

If it's a good topic, why let it die?

Speed, just because it's the first I learned and I'm best at it.
And you can quote me on that.

I like the reverse vault. It's a good tool to have when you don't have very much momentum going for you but still need to smoothly clear an obstacle.

Speed vault, by far. It just feels so awesome to fly over the object sideways.
