Ultimate Polevault

[zzxcrozzy]

thats amazing

[THEmanTHATSwhite]

his first legit vault was atleast 18 in over the bar. pretty sick

[lugwid101]

what is the song?

[avillarreal62]

wow hes vaulting too his left thats crazy!!

[catthtlndsonback]

I almost want to flip this around so it looks like he is vaulting right handed so I can actually see his form in the way that I think haha

[saleenstracer68]

I love short fast vaulters there alot of fun to watch, congradulations man, and you deffinetly had 17'10 just need a little bit of work on the top form to get yourself around that bar.

[firestorm521]

Whats your hundred time? Looks smokin fast on the runway!!! Nice Job

[cbou5]

Great video, music is great choice. Does anybody know what this is song called and who its by?

[DaDannyBoy123]

Adimus(or something like that) by Enya

[gautlet996]

nice vaulting, its easy to to find imperfections in ones vault but very few have ever perfected the vault and you my friend are very close.

keep it up =)

[LetMeHeal]

i like it how he stands up at 2:01

[dudey91]

Good job man.

[DaDannyBoy123]

This song makes everything epic, no matter what it is. But, then again, a 2 foot P.R. to freaking 17'6.75 is nothing short of epic in itself. Excellent Performance!

in response to whs89, I think he was jumping on a 15'7" 175lb if i remember correctly...I had asked him about his pole selection via email. anything smaller than that (to match his weight) he'd squash...and that gets pretty nasty.

Cheers to all...vault high.

[nhttr53]

Funny that I keep coming back to watch this video...good stuff.

Adam, you went back to Athens to compete?

[whs89]

it seems to me that the pole is much heavier than he is, which simply means that he is fast and strong, it would be interesting to see what he could do with a pole his size and weight..regardless he is able to run fast and plant high which is two of the essentials to a good vault....its also amazing how early he comes in and still has the stamina to vault well at the later heights

[CharlesWII]

it's like the pole killed a childhood friend or something, he's absolutely drilling it XD.... Definitely could do with a bit more upwards off the floor imo.

He'd get more penetration just by letting the pole move upwards before he cruches it.

Still he's jumping almost a m higher than me SO WHAT DO I KNOW

[TorryHoltFan]

man its trippy to watch a lefty vaulter

like it just seems off to me, apparently it works for this fool, jesus haha,

cool vid

[mikeobie]

hes good i just think he has a little wide grip

[TheSpencer77]

Holy crap, he absolutely launches off that pole!

[nhttr53]

regardless of what's missing, this is still one hell of a PR day! And right in my backyard (reno).

When I first saw this video, it made me want to jump again. I'm a lefty, so this got the idea swimming in my head and 8 months later, here I am vaulting for the first time in 14 years!!

[helene1417]

does anybody know the song in this video?

thanks

[burlong01]

wow i just noticed that he's left handed

[MDKid73]

OMG, how much under your pole are you? Guessing around 30lbs. LOL, that thing SHOOTS YOU! hold on for a fraction of a second longer and you will get another foot, keep it up.

[mattmcoop]

if you could work on your top end and try to push off while the pole uncoils, i bet you;d clear some HUGE bars. looks great tho man. Hopefully i'll get over something like that some day...

[vaulterUk]

yup ur right . u dont seem to jump up u jump into the pole insted of jumping over the bend off the pole. also one more thing when u come to plant u drop ur left hand way behind ur body which pushes or shoulders out of line and can in some cases throw your run up off a little bit. makeig it harder to drive throw the last 3 steps of the run up.

UK 2003 pb 5:11 at 18 years old. this year hope to go 5:50+ lets hope and see

[paulchandz]

... i disagree with you... i feel that he shouldn't jump up more, he needs the penetration from running through, without it he would come down on the bar like he did in the first jump...

[vaulterUk]

i see you point. wathcing the video again somthing else he is not doing. is moving the pole as in keep pushing throw his left shoulder moveing the pole forward and keeping energy in the pole witch increases the penatration off the vault. i have to do these a hell of a lot becasue i drop my right Knee on take off.

[vaulterUk]

a good drill for this is called a rolly. taking a soft pole from say 8 strides run plant hold the take of C then swing the take off leg to the vertical while pushing your top arm from take off to your balls in a long swing then landing on ur back as deep into the bed as u can. AKa pole long jumping aim is to land with ur legs off the back of the pit. Sugestion use a 15ft pole or so :) and mabe place other mats at the back. i have a highjump mat behind

[polevault09]

man that was sick!! your pole just launched you over the bar!! that was sweet, i can't imagin going that high, being a girl, but maybe someday =). sweet video though!!!

[SamirNagheenanajar]

I remember seeing him jump for the state record several years back at our Shore Conference. Those were nice jumps for a high school senior...

[bigtrav654]

dude i love it, theres so much extension from the pole, you really know how to load that pole up.

[Saveagondola]

I like the music. It makes it seem "epic" which it definitely is. Amazing vaulting!

[lostin88]
