How to Do a Tic Tac in Parkour

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Find two walls around 1–2 meters (3.3–6.6 ft) tall which are reasonably close to each other (around 2-3 metres between the two walls).

   Approach the first wall at a forty-five degree angle at a steady jog.
   
   About a pace from the wall, launch yourself at the wall from your preferred foot. (If you are right handed, this will be your right foot and vice versa) Your foot should contact the wall a little higher than the height of your kneecap. (This will be higher as you improve) As your foot makes contact, push explosively AWAY from the wall so your body travels away from the wall in the direction of the second wall.
   
   Land on the ground.
   
   Do not try hanging on to the second wall yet. ,,,, This will absorb the impact of the landing and then you can place your hands on the top of the wall. ,,, Practice! Practice!
