Holy crap! get a bigger pole before you break that!

seriously...what size pole is that, what's your weight, and where are you holding?

from what i see it looks like u had some pretty big clearance over that, so it doesn't surprise me that you have gotten 12 and are on your way to 12'6. Besides the fact that u bend the hell out of that pole, everything looks good, the only thing i could see was that ur swing to invert was a little lazy with your legs. Nice job otherwise.

you need to work on your plant, from that angle its not looking to well and your not jumping of the ground, thats why the pole bends so much. otherwise looks ok, get a bigger stick!

oops... sorry i did forget to post all that info
it is a 12'6" 130 PacerFX.. & i weigh around 125ish
the only problem is... the next biggest pole that i could move to is a 13' 135 Pacer Mystic... which i HATE!!
my school has recently purchased a 14' 130 UCS Spirit... the only problem is that when it came, the first foot of it was smashed... so the second one is on its way... hopefully soon
thanks for all comments

If you don't like the Mystic because it was too big, you're going to really hate the 14'130 since that is way bigger.

If you don't like the Mystic because it is pink, suck it up and get on the right size pole :P

no no no... the mystic is not too big... it's only 6" longer than what i use now... but it has no recoil to it, i really like how the pacerFX has a decent recoil.... it's fairly powerful... and the mystic is not
haha its not that its pink

you gotta get on the mystic, your form could be the problem why you don't feel you are getting a good recoil.

well today at my conference meet... i got 5th... i cleared 12'3"
to make a long story short... coaches from other teams were concerned that i would break my pole so decided to let me use a 12'4" 150 Altius
i acutally got decent bend on this pole and cleared 12'3"
i think i would have been able to clear 12'3 my my 12'6' 130 PacerFX
but i guess by the end of the meet all of the coaches knew that i jumped from a 130 to a 150 in one day
not a bad day... just keep workin hard i guess
