By pushing with the bottom hand and pulling with the top, it is possible to hold the body outright or with the legs pointing up to resemble a flag. This move is particularly hard as it requires a lot of upper body strength.

A Kong to precision is used when it is necessary to vault an object, but to then also land on a very precise point on the other side. The Kong vault is perfect for this as it provides enough air and forward momentum to bring you to the exact point you must land on with fluidity.

A tic tac is used to clear high objects that the athlete does not wish to touch, but has a wall near by which can be kicked off in order to clear the object in question. The three step tic tac provides lots of height so it is possible to clear much taller objects.
