Wall Flip:

The wall flip isn't so much parkour as it is just style or free running. It is however, definitely hardcore, earning its spot on the blog. When attempting a wall flip, run a comfortable speed, a little faster than a jog. Plant your stronger jumping leg on the wall first as high as comfortably possible, waist height or higher. Once more experienced you can try two steps on the wall. But for now with one step, plant your foot on the wall and push up, not out. Very important to push up not out. This gives makes it easier to rotate and allows more time to complete the flip. As you can see in the picture, this kid is about to spot his landing. It is good to spot your landing early as your body will be able to adjust the speed of your spin to land upright. For extra speed on the flip, tuck your knees to your chest. With experience, less of a tuck will be necessary and it will be easier to incorporate style.
