@838112 You obviously know nothing about pole vault. Hooker has "god awful form"??? Shut your fucking ignorant mouth. Hooker's form rapes derek miles' any day, as well as pretty much everyone else in the world. There's a reason he's knocking on the world record you idiot and his impeccable form is an essential part of that.

@838112 Okay I apologize for calling you out on your stupidity without any actual proof of your lack of knowledge..instead i'll let you prove it yourself. Answer this question: How does Steve Hooker, the number one in the world, the number two of all time, a vaulter with better technique than nearly ever other vaulter currently competing, have "god awful form" ? This ought to be good.

Walker isn't so far under at all, he is covering a lot more ground because I think he was on a 5.20 m pole. put it in slower motion at you will see that he isn't under by much if at all.

[joebro391]

do you think walker's back hurts, like ALL THE TIME, from taking off, so far under???

[838112]

lol who cares when you are the american record holder.

[joebro391]

@838112 All men of power want more power. Walker's only real goal now is the World Record; and he'll never get it with the way he jumps. -6P

[838112]

Explain yourself...

[joebro391]

@838112 he purposely takes off under, the major reason why he landed in the box last year. he had to withdraw from Worlds because of the injury which was directly causes by his style of jumping. I mean, I envy his chest-drive and swing (well, the first part of his swing), but it's not WR technique. He's a power vaulter. -6P
