This is my second year vaulting and i have already worked on getting inverted but I am ready for the next level but having a hard time....a 15 160 pole is really all i have to work with due tot he lack of funds at my school.......so I do whay I can with what I got.......So you are saying to go back ...

I posted something below about what the difference of how wide you hold....Now I am on a 15 ft 160 pole and I am only hold at maybe 12 ft so I am not getting a bend......my coach has me moving up the pole a hand grip everyday so I can get high enough to bend the pole...Now what I want to know is if ...

You said something about holding wide on the pole...now this may be similar to what I have been doing....I am wondering of how much of a difference it makes to hold different distance apart from ur hands.......I have tried different ways and have not really seem much of a difference.

I am running into a problem when I jump and I am having a hard time correcting it. When I jump My top arm is bending and I can't seem to keep it straight when I jump.....Does anyone have any suggestions to correct this?

I am stuck because my school has very little funds for alot of poles so we work with what we got...heres the thing..I have a 15'6 160 pole and i am hold about 10 ft on the pole...now where I am having trouble is I need to move up the pole so I can bend it but When I do my run up holding about 10'6 I...

I am having no problem getting verticle but I am also not bending my pole when i do it.....

See the thing is......I can't hold higher for my 3 step when i am drilling so what if I started doing my drills from the 5 step and moved up the pole........there is a point on my pole where if i go any higher at my 3 step my jump is slow and I usually stall out in the middle of the jump......

this is my second year vaulting and I just started Drilling on Hanging back and kicking the top of my pole....although I am not bending the pole and I am not sure if it is that i am only hold about 3/4 of the way up the pole or if I am just not doing it right........

I was actually talking about getting the jump as in actually bending he pole and getting inverted stuff like that....because you don't start off jumping upside down....

How long did it take for everyone to get every part of jumping down pat?

Yall should check ur steps....if ur steps are perfect than the last step will be perfect
