description Dash Vault Overview
A dash vault is a parkour vault used to pass over an obstacle with the legs extended forward while the hands support the body behind the performer. The practitioner approaches the obstacle, jumps, places the hands on its surface, and moves the hips and feet over the top before landing. The technique is useful for waist-height barriers and differs from a speed vault because the legs travel in front of the body rather than to one side.
