Hopping Pole Vault

[MewtwoExMasterMusic]

Thanks for the video. Today's jumping didn't go well, and i got somewhat discouraged... This motivates me!

[jdebrownie]

Chuck Norris can jump that without a stick

[GreggersFTW]

He's a hop, skit, & a jump from the olympics! (:

[imdagreatest4eva]

[domoerigato]

@HeYLeTsSkAtE no xD

[j111oncher]

@HeYLeTsSkAtE i don't think he can beat bubka by 6 ft lol

[zachislop2]

he would be an amazing triple jumper....if he could use both legs!!!

[freedomrider458]

i sprained my ankle in my last meet and have districts in 3 days so this will probably be what ill be doing to i can make it to regionals. hopefully by then i'll be healed enough for a shot at state

[MoritaStyle]

[xBlackHawkx32]

[jimcroce10]

Haha that's sick! only 8 weeks with surgery? i didn't have surgery for my leg and i was on crutches for 12 weeks. way to be champ.

[w00xer]

[polishsurfer]

wow this guy does better than me and i have two good legs.. i take my hat off to you sir

[stoneroses13]

just keep trying and you will succeed!

[airsoftingPenguin]

[vamperise]

[hjchamp04]

[davidlojkasek]

[cemicalali]

[TheFF5luvaddict]

you are amazing!

[eggnog158]

thats so sick, I'm a pole vaulter and have a broken leg aswell, although I got it from slipping on the water jump in steeplechase. Ima be doing this wen I get my cast off! lol

[BAPolevault]

thats "pro" dude... you got some big balls to do thats.

[kgymnast4]

thats soooooooo cool! BEAST (:

[timsvideos101]

pretty good for having one leg to walk on

[gigityguy]

dude, incredible dedication. all any event is mental determination and you show that pal. this may mean nothing to you coming from a distance man, but still, incredible mate. incredible.

[clearthebar]

bet your take off after your leg healed was beast...i mean after all polevault is a jumping event...

[pilkington0786]

its sweet how you keep good form even on one leg, lots of people can't do 3.40 on two legs haha

[facia46bruta]

I wish I would have thought of doing that back in the 70's when I destroyed my knee. You are the epitome of dedication to our sport. Never give up! I'm old now, but I still remember what it takes to be a Vaulter - determination! What you're doing is freakin' HECTIC! Best of luck to you in your career.

[SimoCairo]

oh man! i know you!...i met u 2 years ago in melburne probably in a comp at melbourne uni...XD it was incredible! seya!

[gautlet996]

Damn that is the illest thing i have seen in a long time!

Hope you get better dude u r so pro =)

[jessames21]

omg your my hero!!! hahah! i just sprained my ankle for the 4th time pole vaulting and i really gotta try this..regonals is this week too hah, but your an inspiration! :)

[AJ94Acura]

Dang, thats better than I currently do without hopping.

[sergeant892]

holy crap!!! u r a rebel man!!! crazy but awesome!! U ROCK!!!!!

[03Ranger4x2]

Ass. Hes using one leg.

[skiholic357]

ok bball masta, u apparently play basketball, not pole vaulting. so go suck a 120 pole

[vaultmaster2]

oh, how big of a pole can you get on with a hopping approach?

[Robbaz]

Hey i don't care if that's bad or good. It's better then what i can do with two working legs.

[mekinnaxoxo]

how easy would it be to count his steps...

[khockballer13]

wow that was pretty cool for only one leg!!

[acedenach]

you're a beast.  thank you for the video.

[moonowl700]

[johnno233]

smart ass!

how ya going joel? long time no talk

john ( erins friend / violence against women)

[irishh92]

BRILLANT !!!

[WaveRidder]

was he a vaulter before this? because teaching him the skills needed with a stress fracture, would be hard or near impossible. not to mention to jump up to looks like ten feet. he had to be a vaulter be for hand. still it's amazing and i'm quite jealous that if thats ten feet he reach my PR by hopping. gotta love his attitude though.

[WoWfosho22]

he could be the chosen vualter!

[JJJJJESUS]

You could be the chosen speller!

[monkeyfool900]

his PR w/ 7 hops was 11' 8" 0.o

and yeah he was a vaulter before...PR 5.25m

[718310]

dude his left leg must be jacked

[4rperks4]

haha

muscled it big time

amazing

[11kellb]

wow you have great form! that's incredible that you can keep a consistant runway when hopping! and it's incredible that you can even pole vault on one leg! that's awesome.

[mulinanr]

dude, i'm 15 and my PB is yet 350, you totally own, a few months ago had my arm broken, so couldn't even thing about it cause as far as i know it's imposible to jump with one hand only:

But i will try although my both legs are healthy;)

[slurpieboi]

wow, i am so amazed :D

[pvgrl13]

thats amazing

[milazzie]

i pole vault in college and my PB is 5.50m

[roblowe777]

I used to travel the country doing pole vault and my PB was equal to your 7 hop jump. Makes me feel rubbish, however my girlfriend looks more like Lara Croft than Lara Croft!

[tumbler89]

dude holy cow! that is HILARIOUS! YOU JUMP AS HIGH AS ME ( a girl at 10 ft) HOPPING DOWN THE RUNWAY!!! omg man, whats your pr on one leg? lmao

[py4god]

Oh my gosh! I was told that there were crazy guys like you on this site by a nurse in the Emergency Room! My son just broke his leg skateboarding. He is 12. I bet your Mom is freaking out! I hope you don't hurt yourself again. Must be a guy thing, LOL!

From Southern California

[XpolymerX]

That's totally awesome buddy!

[czechdancer]

[wheelielee82]

Holy shit. I pole vaulted in high school. Never thought of doing it that way. That's incredible!

[Zcayroo]

[Cherryanacheer]

This is amazing!!

The name of the song is Still Standing by Elton John. :)

[punkdude1668]

[Sketchy187]

[TheZ999]

WOW!!nice... what's the name of the song?

[cssherry]

Joel, you're a nutter! Don't try this at home kids!

[iluvthedictionary]

i had to wear one of those for a stress fracture once

[Bear907]

That is wicked! Haha...

Man, stress fractures are the worst! I'm still recovering from one. I was thinking cross country would be a bit difficult to do on one leg....

[ozstamps1]

Best part about it was the MUSIC!

[BRILEY1425]

oooh, there's always gotta be a hater...

[AniaGw]

wOW. That's great :)

[cranzberry]

[irishcutie27]

you're my hero. seriously.

[irishcutie27]

&ps i use a pacer mystic too. :]

[quehacespoc]

No way!...Dude you really made me realize that I should be better in pole vault, as I can use both of my legs. And using only one of them you can jump up to 3.60 metres... This week I will train hard on that

[toppskatt]

He looks like a nice guay :-D 3,60 hopping ! I have 4,10 normal =(.....

[KDeDom]

hes better than some vaulters on my team and hes only useing one leg....SIIIIIIIIICK!!!! (positive context)

[flipntwist]

[Cornutt123]

[bmxeraustin]

[HDDCdiver]

[skatemystery2]

[garrochero]

[Nuriyan]

Eight weeks non-weight bearing? That's a long time! I have a navicular fracture as well and start walking next week. I was non-weight bearing for only four weeks.

[zealwing07]
