Getting on Bigger Poles

Unread postby asaleh » Wed Feb 06, 2013 12:03 pm

In the summer i jumped on a 13 130 pole at a club. Now the only pole my school has is a 13'7 135. I have gotten faster and stronger since the summer. Would it be possible to bend the pole if i run fast enough and have a strong bottom arm?
Your only as good as your last jump.
