Seat Vault
The lowdown
You sit on the obstacle, swing both legs round to the far side with a half turn and slide off. It is the slowest way over, and the surest.
How to learn it
Sit
Put both hands on the top and sit on the near edge.
CueNear edgeSwing
Turn your hips and swing both legs over together.
CueLegs togetherSlide
Slide down the far side with a hand still on the top.
CueHand stays onLand
Let go only once both feet are down.
Why it isn't working
- IfSitting in the middle of the obstacle.ThenSit on the near edge so your legs only have to swing a short way.
- IfLetting go before your feet land.ThenKeep a hand on the top until both feet are down.
- IfSwinging one leg at a time.ThenBring the legs round together in one movement.
