go see a coach! you can never know if your good of if you're not if you dont try with proper tecnique and poles. Also, vaulting alone could be dangerous if you get higher...go see a coach and you could really improve...good luck!

yes , u definitally want a coach. because a couple times my coach has had to do things so id have to vault a bit by myself. its alot easier to tell someone else what they are doing wrong but when u cant see urself then its really hard to tell what ur arent doing right, and if ur new u may not know alot about it. so ya a coach can help alot.
