practice planting (look in the trouble planting forum) and focus on pushing the pole from you. it seems counter-inuitive to beginners (took me a month to get it) but it's neccessary to push the pole to go up, and you WILL get into the pit if you have speed. Confidence is the key. (and please check your spelling before posting :))
