Kash Vault

▲ ▼

description Kash Vault Overview

The Kash Vault is a fundamental acrobatic technique used in parkour and freerunning to clear obstacles. It is a hybrid movement that combines the diving entry of a Kong Vault with the exit of a Dash Vault. A practitioner pushes off the obstacle with their hands, passes over it, and then brings their legs forward to land in a running position. This maneuver is designed to maintain forward momentum and is typically practiced by intermediate to advanced traceurs.

help Kash Vault FAQ

How does a Kash Vault differ from a standard Kong Vault?

A Kong Vault involves diving over an obstacle and pushing off with both hands without rotating. A Kash Vault takes the same diving entry but adds a 360-degree rotation before landing to face back toward the obstacle.

Is the Kash Vault difficult to learn in parkour?

The Kash Vault is considered an advanced parkour move because it demands significant air awareness and explosive upper body power. Traceurs must first master the basic Kong Vault before attempting to add the rotational spin.

How do you generate enough rotation for a Kash Vault?

The rotation is generated by driving your trailing shoulder downward while simultaneously swinging your legs upward after pushing off the obstacle. Tucking the knees helps accelerate the spin while airborne.

What are the common mistakes when performing a Kash Vault?

The most frequent mistake is mistiming the push-off, which results in clipping the feet on the obstacle. Another common error is opening the body too early, causing a loss of rotational momentum before landing.
