then you get into combos, stacks, and different versions of the vaults

like the double kash and 360 vaults

or good combos like the Dash to Dive Kash - Which is just fun to say AND epic to perform

Come on people. It good to have a name or two for techniques just communications processes, but a pop vault = Wall passe = Wall hop. Dont get caught up on names. If your looking for a great place to see alot of the basic techniques check out www.urbanfreeflow.com and look at the videos on the bottom of the main page.

that and most of em are on APK

people seem to forget that the forum isnt the only part of the site

when you go to APK, instead of going to connect/forum go to learn/tutorials

Oh my God, so many named techniques being thrown around in this thread!  Honestly there's only like five useful vaults: Kong, Turn, Lazy, Speed, and Reverse.  Pretty much all of the others mentioned are either variations or combinations of these. 

If you try to memorize and seperately learn each of those individual variations, you're going to end up confusing yourself and getting trapped by names.  Just go out, practice the basic techniques, and play around with them in your own time.  Exploring the movement for yourself is the only way to truly learn, and in time you'll find yourself adapting to your environment and naturally doing some of those other things as well.

Keep it simple!

i agree SOOO MUCH D: ppl abuse parkour and freerunning definitions! I mean yes THEY ARE BOTH MOVEMENT but really i like the ORIGINAL DEFINITION we (alot of us) followed before.

some nubs have been calling ME a noob because i  dont do flips/trick vaults , some people said im not a real "parkourist" ( in know, its traceur, just quoting )and i've enjoyed parkour for years...!!!! i just tell them that im not their performance monkey and that i do pk for ME not them...
