i have always wanted to do a kong vault since i started but i was always afraid i would clip my toes on the edge but today i went over my grandma's house and was doing them over her couch. when i got home i was doing them off the generator outside my apartment complex and landed them. so a long story short i will try to do stuff over a couch to start rather than going straight at it.

Glad you got it

but in life there isn't always an easy route, same thing with Parkour. One day you'll probably have to try something new without the couch.

Haha, good way to think, but that defeats the purpose, since there's no more cushy love from protecting you from getting hurt if you mess up (which is, I think, why he was talkin' bout using it in the first place).

very creative, though.

Be very careful because couches are liable to tip!

QFT. I'd rather scrape my knee than have all several hundred pounds of a couch make love to me.

the couch is where I first started my kongs as well. hopefully it's just as good for front flips. gyms are hard to come by where I am so it's just enough that I have 2 parks I can practice at.

fear is horrible. but you just gotta get over it. more power to ya.

Hey! I did that too! I'm still nervous to do Kongs, but not nearly as much as before.

P.S. My mom freaks when I practice on the couch. lol.

So you front flip on or off it........don't see how that helps

I do kongs on my couch all the time though.

Wow... several hundred pounds? What in the world is your couch made out of? Lol, you did put a very interesting picture in my mind talking about the couch making love to you though.

Haha, I use my couch for a lot, palmspins, kongs, cushions for first rolls, practice height in jump,s practice length in jumps.

Good job on the kongs, took me a while for mine as well.

Matthew Wang · « **Reply #16 on:** April 13, 2009, 07:15:02 PM »

Haha see! It's a lot of mental fear! You'd be amazed at all the physical things you can actually accomplish. The mental fear factor is what stops people from performing well.
