Kong Vault
The lowdown
From a run you dive forward, put both hands on the obstacle together and push, and your tucked legs pass between your arms to land on your feet beyond it.

Why it isn't working
- IfKnees or toes clipping the obstacle.ThenTuck tighter and lift your hips higher than your shoulders.
- IfHands placed too near the front edge.ThenReach further on so your hips are over your hands when you push.
- IfRunning in with your arms held out.ThenSwing your arms; held out, they kill your speed.
- IfHesitating at take-off.ThenCommit or stop well before the obstacle; a half dive is worse than none.
