My steps are normally on but my plant sucks i think. I weigh 130-135 and i'm vaulting on a Pacer 140 Lb pole, 14' long. I get up to the top and thats about it, i just stall out there

Try dropping your grip 2 fists and tell us what happens.

yeah, i have a problem stalling sometimes too. make sure you are accelerating all the way through the pit and that your plant is getting up early enough. i always lower my grip and once i am consistent at that lower grip, i will slowly move it back up, as long as i am getting good penetration and making it into the pit.
