Today i managed to do my first kong vault and i can do them pretty well now, I have done it on a bench and can only do it sideways not longways so could you please tell me how to improve to be able to kong the bench longways. Thanks Crazyhero100.

Callum Trilby Posts: 739 Group: Members Member #2,323 Joined: November 24, 2007	Practice kongs/cat-passes over a regular obstacle, but use the technique you would for the dive as much as possible, pretending you are doing a real one. Simply put, get comfortable with the technique from 'indirect' practice, so that when you go for the real one, you'll be more comfortable with it.
