Dang Adam, you are getting awesome height. Hey, is that the green 175 you were jumping on? I loved that pole at AOC. Get that provisional...you are right there! Good luck the rest of the season!

it took lots of research and lots of people being nice. I was able to order a tape that is ust about exactly "skypole green" (green is my fav color) and i just untaped the poles and retaped them. It is NOT FUN to untape a brand new pole I can say that and it is very hard to tape a pole with out getting bubbles or LOTS of creases in the tape since it is so thin :yes:

damn, i thought that was a skypole in the video. cool. i remember being pissed when they changed the mean green to white. i wasnt vaulting on skypoles at the time, but it just seemed wrong, but luckily they changed back soon enough.

anyway though, that was a really cool roll/flip. i like the way you vault aggressively not worrying too much about miniscule details on the top while taking care of what is important on the runway/takeoff. :yes:

n

yes it is the same stuff they use on regular poles i just love the old sky pole CLASSIC so i make my poles try to be as cool as they are (carbon fx's are way better then sky poles)

and thanks Skyin' Brian i do try to have some technique but when all else fails its about clearing the bar

Hey Adam, never thought of this but were you trying to do the huffman roll, or was it all on accident? If it was on accident, that is the craziest thing I have ever seen, because you managed to pull it off...and that is very impressive!

I have a question, how do you get your video to transfer onto your computer so you can post it? Do you have to take on it a digital video card? Or do you take it, and plug it into your computer, and use a special program to transfer it over? Just wondering! Thanks

it just kinda happened. I was kicking my self when i landed and wondering why i didn't do the pole vault as normal. .. I use a prograp called "sony vegas 5.0" it is a great video editing software and i just plug in my DV camera and put the little titles and things on it. The program is great and i would suggest it ot any one who likes to edit videos and things like that :yes:
