[lostnmyhead]

[jz1233]

i got first in our track meet cleared 8 feet

[punkxrockin]

That looks like my pole. :P

[Jessonlovesmusic]

You're not supposed to hold the bar where ever you are comfortable. You need to find a good distance from the top to hold (as was shown). Then, while holding the bar at the top with your left or right hand (as taught) bring your elbow from the same arm up and place your other hand's thumb underneath it on the pole. THIS IS WHAT TELLS YOU HOW WIDE YOU NEED TO HOLD IT.

[SarahTheDancingPrep]

guys im starting today and uhhm..how long is it gonna take me to learn how to do it nd etc??

[gbaspfreak1]

i picked it up pretty well, I'd say 1-2 months

[illiniwek3282]

at least

[samdashiz11]

actually the grip you should reach up as high as you can with the pole straight up, the move 5 hands up the pole, as for the other hand, hold the pole with one hand on the pole ands the other end of the pole on the ground, on an angle, pull the pole back, and your un-dominant hand should line up with your armpit. i have been vaulting for 1/2 of a season, and with that grip, and alot of speed, i am clearing 12'6" not even lying...

good luck everyone!

[CoastGhost3]

This guy's the man!

[fuerfribangbang]

im 8 months into pole vaulting and i can clear 11.....eh

[wangopuff]

[Randalthor993]

[ghostnuttt]

again i been doin other things and only got like 10 mins of practice each day

[jvann244]

i've been doing it for a week and can only clear 9 :/

[yoboe7]

thats fine dude lol

[vaultersupreme]

To all you shit talkers:

This guy coached Olympians, all americans and guys who cleared 18 and 19 feet.

Most of you cant even clear 17 feet and you think you can coach. You're all funny.

[sureloc]

this guy sucks ass im a short asian and i can vault 13 ft and stupid fart doesnt know crap u want to have a cresent shape it allows shoulder penatration which gives u a longer whipping motion DUH lol SERGEI BUBKA RULES

[vaultersupreme]

13? and you think u can give advice?? When you start clearing the height that he has gotten guys to, then ttalk shit.

[sureloc]

lol at tat time i was only 5 months in im doing 14 now if u vaulted 14 ft at 7 months then u start talking shit ok?

[vaultersupreme]

haha at 6 months, i was vaulting 15 feet.

And my old buddy Anthony Curran, the UCLA coach and my other buddies at Mt. sac and the clinics there, taught us alot of stuff like this. The coaches i know, coached guys like gio lanaro, toby stevenson, tim mack and Jeff ryan.

Right now, i vault 17'6.

[vaultersupreme]

Oh yea and this guy, bill faulk, had a guy go 5.50m or 18.4 feet.

[sureloc]

U KNOW MY COACH REALLY??? wow hey say hi to him say the little asian kid jeff said hi JEFF RYAN and he was my coach tho his mom was my 2nd grade teacher LOL say hi to him for me

[vaultersupreme]

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but sure. If i see him, i'll tell him, it's been a while though.

[sureloc]

no im not being sarcastic he really did coach me

his mom was really my second grade teacher mrs. ryan from plavan he has a gf forgot her name but shes crazy too shes like uber good swimmer SEE i know him tell him im jeff tran from fountain valley high school

[vaultersupreme]

Wow you know alot about him. lol

Alright, sure I'll let him know if i see him at any of the pole vault clinics or meets.

Fountain valley? thats southern section right?

[sureloc]

yea maybe ull see him in reno idk if hes going

[djsaigon92]

thats fucking bullshit

[skatemystery2]

sorry about all of the comments... but this video disgusts me... The bottom hand should not be facing down. you should have your palm facing up holding under the pole as soon as that pole hits the box. no power any other way to get that bottom hand out and get a bit more bend for time to swing up.

[vaultersupreme]

Yes as you are running with the pole, your hand should be down to aviod stress as you run. When you take off, then the rules change. What do you clear, by the way?

[skatemystery2]

wow and the method of putting in the box is fucking shitty. honestly by then you are way out, or under according to where the pole ends up going to in the back of the box.

[skatemystery2]

what a piece of shit. that old dood says good runners, jumpers, and someother thing dont make good vaulters. Our school's best vaulter at the time is jumping 15 and he only weighs 125 as a senior, barely strong, he is kind-of fast. but not niggerfast. and he used to run distance.

[CharlesWII]

I think that this whole selection thing is shiiite.

Like with a handstand, if you find someone who's never tried doing handstands before, they're probably not gonna be able to do it!

I can't do a handstand, but i'd be alright at all those other things. I know someone who'd be awesome at all that stuff, but can't pole vault for shite.

It just make sas little work as possible for the coach to condition their athlete.

[flyingace451]

That old racist fart can go suck it, I can't jump vertical worth a flip (i'm 6' tall and I can barely touch a basketball rim) and yet I still got 3rd in A-AA state with a height of 12'...as a sophomore in highschool. If someone wants to vault, then let them vault.

[vaultersupreme]

12 feet is not very good though. In California 12 feet as a sophomore is crap. I can high jump 6'7 and im 5'9. I vault 17 feet. Just about everything he said to do is right.

[mattmcoop]

thats crap

[T0scO]

wow this educational video is so racist: here is an example of a bad polevaulter (shows black man), now here is an elite polevaulter (white guy)

[garfgunk]

Your an idiot the black guy was bad, so he put the black guy as a bad example, the white guy was leet - good example. Der. Not Racist moron.

[xxMARTINEZxx]

woo

[skatemystery2]

great theory on the planting the pool at about 2 minutes in though!

[considertheravens]

pool?

[skatemystery2]

i dont like the guy at the begining... i am not super fast, i can barely do a pull up, but i have great form

I am the 6th best pole vaulter in the nation in my age group (13)

[considertheravens]

what do you vault?

[skatemystery2]

8 feet... but that was last year.

now I am clearing 9 feet no problem with a bungee and yesterday was my first day to vault again.

[Fedexd921]

this is almost comical

[SasukeLvr2TheExtreme]

dang...i'm not soo good at jumping/running/pull ups/hand stand but i do, do long jump and i guess i'm okay for a newb and for pole vaulting i just started like last month and i can get 6 feet but i have no upper body strength

[considertheravens]

uh 6 ft sucks man sorry

[xxMARTINEZxx]

i agree

[xxMARTINEZxx]

that relly sucks

[steweyb1]

well...i have 1 of those things...speed..haha and im still a decent vaulter

[considertheravens]

what do you vault?
