Planning: Wall Vault

The penultimate step in the assault course was a good old fashioned wall vault. For this I looked to the hip, trendy, down with the kids baggy trousers sport of Parkour (or free-running) for ideas. The basic ethos of the sport is to make movement look as effortless and graceful as possible and also to be as efficient as possible. It was primarily developed in 'Nam by the Vietcong as a means of traveling quickly though jungle regions when in combat. But don't hold that against it. It really did help in making my character flow over the wall whilst looking graceful and was also extremely useful for referencing arm positions.
