Question

Does it matter if I can't do it on the first try?

Community Answer

No, that doesn't matter at all. Becoming good at any new skill requires lots of practice and patience; it would be very surprising for you to get it right on the first, second, or even third try!

Question

How do I run up a wall that is 20 ft?

Community Answer

First you have to practice doing simple wall runs. After working up to it, if you feel comfortable doing 20 ft., you can try it. Doing the wall run can be a dangerous activity and must be experienced with parkour.

Question

What if I vault into it for more momentum upwards, could that decrease my chances of making it up?

Cesar Haas

Community Answer

Vaulting can give more momentum for this. However, it requires a little better footing and strength than just running at it. Other than that, it does help with making it up.

Question

Do I have to climb up a wall then fall sideways on a wall when running parkour?

Community Answer

Catch yourself before hitting sideways or you can do a side roll with your body or you can just keep you balance on the wall after you climb it.

Question

What can I do if I'm sliding back down the wall every time?

Community Answer

Practice makes perfect. Try doing thigh and calf exercises so you can get enough strength to wall run.

Question

I want to impress my friends but the walls are not long enough. Can a kid wall run? Is it okay to wall run as a kid?

Community Answer

Yes, but the wall shouldn't be too high. As long as you have enough practice in wall running, then you can wall run as much as you want.
