Topic: Wallrun help please

[Shawn Meilicke]

The biggest thing I notice about people who are new to wall running is the lack of a lean... you HAVE to lean back to go up the wall... or sideways to go along it... too many people try to stay vertical and only have their legs out... that does NOT work! you will get NO force onto the wall unless you lean back... that uses your horizontal momentum to glue you to the wall... since you WILL be generating G forces (Probably around 2 or higher if you can even walk on a regular floor), it really will be like gravity changes direction...

Think of it this way... if you even generate 1G of force, not hard to do since you can jump (Which means your generating more than 1G), then your being pushed to the wall at the same rate as Earth's gravity... in other words, your walking on the wall like you walk on the ground... since people can easily generate more than 1G, if you focus, you can actually run on the wall like you run on the ground... the thing is! your G Force will dissipate FAST so do NOT forget about that last push to get you back vertical or you WILL fall on your back/side

how do you grab the top of a wall if youre leaning back

and how do you not fall?

[Team Avian]

well your last step should send you back vertical and depending on whether you want to get away from the wall or get to the top is how hard to kick off and how hard to lean forwards...

thanks

i realize thats kind of a hard thing to explain

[Team Avian]

lol everything is hard to explain... mostly because when people PK... it's all a natural flow...
That, and I can't explain stuff for crap

About the only spot I could pratice wallrunning, the wall is high I can jump up and pull myself up it but the ground leading up to it is sloped so if I was to run straight at it to try and go up it I would be going up hill, is that a probalm?

[Shawn Meilicke]

ist a problem if you make it one
lol


id suggest still practicing there, but try to find somewhere else you can practice on different inclines so you dont get accustomed to just one situation

[Blankenship]

The only other places have either classes in them or students sleeping pr it just way to public.

[Shawn Meilicke]

eh, public isnt bad as long as you dont get yelled at

ive been doing them during my gym class whilst playing dodge ball, lol

Work on one legged power, because you're pretty much relying on that one leg you're using. Do lots of pistols.
