Pole break video

Unread postby keelowman » Sat Oct 11, 2003 3:18 am

I put a video of my pole break on my site, I don't know if it can handle too much traffic, (it was a free website). The file is 3 megs so you need a good connection and you need to have quick time installed on your computer to view it. If you need quick time go to quicktime.com and click on the download button. To view my break go to the link below, but the video isn't too spectacular, my friend who recorded it is in a wheel chair and the camera was in his lap the whole jump missing a lot of the aftermath, but its better than nothing.

How much do you weigh? How far under were you on that jump?

Yeah I checked it last night and after a couple of views it shut my site off for an hour, I guess it is time for my own domain. Does anyone know of a good one that is pretty cheap.
At the time of that break I was 10lbs over the pole

Most coaches would refer to that as "SLOW AND LOW" with the empasis on the low part! No angle of attack at the plant at all. If you pause the vid and follow it in your knee is almost still out of view (behind the pit) when the pole hit 90 degrees. After watching that, if that is common for your vault, I would be surprised if that was your first broken pole.

I had a break like that. It was on a 15 180 carbon that had shipping damage that we didn't see. Just jumped and it didn't go anywhere. Felt really good to, till that whole BOOM thing...
