What length pole do I need

Unread postby sean » Fri Apr 28, 2006 6:29 pm

I'm a new jumper and my school has a limited number of poles. My best jump so far is 10'. I weigh 160 lbs and I'm 5'8. What would be the ideal length of pole I should use and when would you change the lengths? Thanks for the advice.
