Great job man, keep drilling it and you can turn it into a kong. Just be persistent :)

Nice work, a great start! I found the cartwheel-esque thing you where doing down stairs interesting, I might try that as a bridge to aerials. Anyway when you really get a consistent feel for your monkey vault, the next thing  you might want to work on is coming out of it in a one-two step so to keep momentum and flow to your next obstacle. It takes getting used to landing this way, but it helps in the long run. Thats all I have to say. :P Nice vaults and keep it up.

I must be misinformed, but that looked like a kong to me. What makes the two different?

Its the same really, people think the dive makes the kong if you jump into a dive then press your hands to pull you threw is a kong and monkey you put you hands on jump as you pass, its roughly the same

There is no reason to have a plan B, cause all it does is distract from plan A
