« on: May 25, 2009, 08:06:15 PM »

So I've been mainly practicing on my "Kong" vaults for the past two weeks. I can't seem to get enough height with my legs. Also, I don't really understand the concept. Is a Kong vault just basically jumping over something while crouching in mid jump. What are you technique for Kong's and any helpful tips for training up to them.

Well, I recently got in to parkour and also moved. So I went out and tried to find some local places that I could train. Not sure if anyone lives near here or not but I live about half of a mile down the street. The places name is "Kneeland Park", this park has an old nostalgic appearance being of 3/4 wood. A great place to train it is, with many rails, towers, bars, and general parkour able spots.

Location: Shelton, WA.

Hello, I recently started parkour and have worked my way to the wall run, Once I run up the wall and put my hands over the rail/top It seems like I have no traction and therefor can not pull my self up to the level of the rail. Could someone post some tips for training Pull Ups? Also, I believe it is called "The Cat" in which I am trying to do.
