When you say "4 step" is that "4 lefts"? Or is that 4 steps in total (ie. 2 lefts)?
Sorry, the terminology is a little different here in Aus. Also, what is your grip height?

hmm...what pole are you using? you could be developing some sort of bad habit if your are on too soft of a pole, i would try to get your grip height down a little bit, you should be trying to jump ABOVE your grip height not a foot below. however this is pretty impressive for a first year vaulter.
