Topic: A specific problem...

It's lower than waist height, so you drop too fast. I've cleared it, but I had to destory my momentum, and it was a hairy experience. 

I've been working on getting my legs and butt higher, but I basically get a temprorary form of ADD (No intention to offend anyone!) when I practice, so I always get distracted by some other thing.   

Haha. No, I can't underbar the rail, and still clear the bushes. Good try.

I would say the monkey is the best bet, dont dive at the rail at all, run up to it as fast as possible and monkey and try and clear everything.  But if its under waist height, thats probably not ideal.  What about a turn vault then jump over the bushes from the other side of the rail?

Judging by what you said Kyle, I'd say monkey it like Anthony said, but you don't have to do that. Your goal is simply to get over the rail and the bushes right?
In that case, you could practice approaching it with long strides and step up on the bar with one foot and leap off over the bushes, or maybe you could just leap over the bar and bushes all together. Remember you don't always need to do by the book vaults if you're just trying to get over something in the fastest way possible. With lower objects, one could certainly just jump on top of it or over it.
That being said, its good to practice doing vaults and techniques on obstacles you wouldn't normally use them on too if you were just flowing through your environment(i.e. a speed vault on a 2 ft tall stone orb thing). The more things you can effectively vault, the better you will be at that vault.

Yeah, thinking a monkey is probably best idea.

I train with a friend, who is less experienced than I am, and I have to tell him occasionally "You got over it, safely, and quickly, right?" I do realize that parkour is not a collection of pre-defined movements, so much as a continuous fluid action to get somewhere.

Also, thanks for all the feedback guys. I looked back at some of my posts and I gotta apologize. If I came off as having a "I'm rite, ur rong!" attitude, then my bad.
