This is something you would only see at the trials prelims with two pits going. Derek Miles and Brad Walker have a double make. Respect to Miles for keeping focus with Brad in front of him and to the right. The one minute time limit was in place so there was very little room for error.

It would awesome to have synchronized pole vaulting. Be scored on how close together two people are instead of how high they go. That would be tight. :D

World Record for Synchro Pole Vault?

Unread postby completemadness » Wed Jul 28, 2004 2:14 am

Hmm... I remember back in the late 80's that we set what we believed to be a world record of 3.50m with 2 people over the same bar at the same time (one left handed, one right handed) and 3 people over 2.50m (straight pole jumping).

When I was in Europe this summer someone claimed a 4m dual jump. Anyone else got something better?
