Renamed "Thunder Jump" to "Splash Jump" since Thunder isn't the only turret with splash anymore. Also this name is more self explanatory and intuitive so it is easier to get used to it.

You should've renamed it later... Edited by cube3e

What is the use of this trick anyway (besides impressing girls that is)?

 

Handstand

 
A tank standing vertically on his front or back side. A stable handstand is not achievable on flat ground without anything to hold you, but it is achievable when standing on another tank, or when you are slightly leaning on a wall with one of your edges.
 
Where it is useful:
  • When building structures out of tanks
  • For a special way of positioning the jumper or helpers in a trick, especially when need to aim straight up or down.

 

I already showed one screenshot of a trick that starts with the jumper doing a handstand :P

But its use? Can it be used to conquer anything? 

It can be used on it's own to get on a house too (like in this video), but it is also an essential part in the trick I just showed. If I did the same thing without a handstand the splash from the strikers would push me (the jumper) more sideways than up and I wouldn't be able to shoot down to gain even more height.

I bet you can't come up with another trick in the next hour.

I just remembered a very old trick I called the flying schnitzel :P

It's a tasty trick that I never actually did because I had no team with good equipment for it at the time I thought it up, I have lots of tricks like this that were never done, and one of them was a concept that we developed into the taxi trick :D

Added a new trick by @sterre933 @Krutik_love @SwiftSmoky

Still need to come up with a name for it, would love to hear your suggestions.

Unnamed Trick

 
Dictator and Viking, both with Hammer, touch each other with the back of their tank and aim at each other. A Wasp with Thunder stands on top of the Dictator, dips down onto the Viking in a swing motion, both Hammers shoot him and he shoots down to hit himself with his splash.
 
Where it is useful:
  • To jump straight up or forward without acceleration
  • For high jumps and medium length
  • For precise jumps to land on small surfaces such as billboards

Added another unnamed trick, with a video. Any suggestions for a name for this trick?

 

Unnamed Trick 2 - [ video ]

 
This is a trick for falling falling off the edge and landing on a lower place under you. A jumper (best with wasp thunder) stands on the edge with a helper (best with wasp hammer) on top of him. The jumper drives off the edge and starts driving back when it's too late to not fall, this makes them flip and the helper ends up in a good position to shoot the jumper towards the destination.

Re-organized the topic, now everything is sorted by category and difficulty level.

Categories: One Man Parkour, Normal Parkour, Free Fall Parkour, Structures, Archive, Terms

 

Also, you can now submit videos to be added to the parkour dictionary, even for tricks that already have a video about them. See the top of the topic for video requirements.

 

 

Added the trick "Flip off" in Free Fall Parkour category, and uploaded a video of it.

Added a menu with links that scroll between the categories without reloading the page, just trying to make this too long wall of text to be somewhat convenient to go through
