Whats the difference between thief vault and a lazy vault?

[Alex Lopez]

I'm having a really hard time finding this one out,I look threw many youtube videos and i can't see whats the different. Someone plz explain.

A thief vault is something you do immediately after you steal something

A thief vault leads with the outside leg. It's like a speed vault that comes in on an angle.

lazy and theif vaults, unlike most others, are done when you're not running at the obstacle head on (for example, running parallel to a rail, you'd lazy to get over, while running at it perpendicularly [head on], you could kong, side vault, dash, etc.)
So back to running parallel to a rail, if you're running beside the rail, lazy over, end up facing the same way, and keep running parallel, it's a lazy vault.
Lets say you're running and you want to go the other way; a thief vault is essentially a lazy, but you end up facing the other direction. After the vault you are now both on the other side of the obstacle, and also running the other way.

or such is my understanding

EDIT: also, what BobT said.
Bionicgrape, too, is partially correct, only the vault isn't done immediately after you steal something, but only after you've managed to outrun at least 85% of the policemen/security officers chasing you. (some freerunners will tell you you must lose only 65% of your pursuers. These freerunners are wrong.)

Run till you don't here sirens, that's my policy. Or run to hide, find an alley about your width and Spiderman Climb between them up and out of sight. lol.

But JFlash is correct, a thief changes direction, which is a very VERY good technique to learn.

[Alex Lopez]

I get it but why make it confusing and give it two different names if its just the landing that changes. Yea I would get it if you stole something and decided to do the move and call it a thief vault lol..... just lazy vault sounds two boring.

It's not just the direction change, it's which foot you take off of. Inside foot is lazy vault, outside foot is thief vault.

[Alex Lopez]

I tried doing it with the opposite foot and it just feels wierd and not right and at the end it still looks the same its just harder with the outside foot

[Matt "Matty Ice" Milano]

i concurrrrrrrrrr. haha

[JFlash]

killian's correct in his reverberation of bobt's post. Go outside and do them and you'll notice theifs use the other foot to kick around, so as to swing it and change direction. It's kinda like a speed

does it really matter??
