Steps

[edit | edit source]
  • Run near a wall at a steady pace. As you approach, your weight will fall backwards.
  • At the same time kick up one leg to clear the height of the wall. The trailing leg will then be powered through.
  • Place your hands on either side of the legs and to keep the momentum going with a push away from the wall.
  • The momentum here will fire you over the wall. While in the air your body weight will be brought forward to prepare for landing.
  • With your body weight moving forward, you should begin to straighten up and get your feet ready for a nice landing.
