I came down on the pit and landed on the angled part of the mat at snapped my arm in half last year. But I am vaulting this year

It's a beautiful thing. . .

I love the man who says: "It reminds me of dolphins"

I recently had a traumatic brain injury and Skull fracture from missing the mats and landing on my head while vaulting. Doctors say I can't vault again for 3 months, but I can't wait!

You have to be king of addicted to pole vault if your doing this. Even if it doesnt work sometimes. I use to say, pole vault is a bitch. No offend to bitches ;)

Just love the sport

It only takes a couple of awsome vaults to keep you comming back for more.

I broke my pole 2 days ago at my meet. I've gone over the video in slow motion with my coach, I didn't do anything wrong like pull on it, it just looks like it was the pole's time. It counted as a 'no jump' and I got up and did my three more attempts. All that I have to show for it is a bruised hand, guess I'm lucky!

One of the younger kids who trains under my coach broke a pole last week at a competition. Slapped up his leg real good. But he was back the next training session :)

I had a buddy who broke his pole back in 11th grade and fell on his head in the box. He got realy hurt. But was back the next week ready to shred!

This vid makes me proud to be a pole vaulter.

[Tarzan07330]

so why don't you continue to?

[bt1000001]

just seeing the state stadium and watching this makes me ready to jump. Go pv!!!!

[hunterdakerwoods]

Good video. The kid at 6:10 did everything possible to ensure he broke a pole.  Perfect example of unsafe vaulting.

pole vault is dangerous sport which requires risks (sometimes) but what gives you the same feeling and doesn't require a bit o crazy? :P

[jhinkin]

[sensei15]

really good vid...pole vaulting is only dangerous if you dont know what your doing. Ive never broken or pole or gotten seriously injured but ive gotten hit in the balls about 5 times

[abitante5]

hahhhahah same here man, same here

[xxMARTINEZxx]

so true vaulting is nothin like football you go to a meet and evryone their is calm and respectful. its just a flatout fun and relaxing but also pressureing sport and thats alsom. and in football your always under some kind of pressure. nice vid.

peace...

[crimination15]

This is a great video

I would have to say pole volting is the best thing in the world, I wish my personal best was some of theirs

[gymrat750]

Brings me back... glad to see pole vaulting grow like this since 1993.
