I wish I was as fast as guys like Huffman, Ryland, and Duplantis. That'd be sick. Imagine if Huffman was 6'2 with his speed, he would have jumped so much higher than he did. Mad props to the roll.
Pole vaulting is the most epic event! it makes your heart drop when you see people in the air, but when they get inverted and drop onto the mat without dropping the cross bar its just an awesome sight!
the people who beat huffman are better vaulters, plain and simple... they are better because the vault with better form which allows them to use bigger poles... you may be able t vault high with bad form, but the only way to get any higher is to use a bigger pole, which requires better form
of course huffman is strong... look at how ripped he is... im saying his form is bad tho... ist usually the stronher vaulters that have the worst form...but huffman could have been much better had he learned the right technique... bubka is the perfect blend of form and streingth... thats why he is the best.
@DunmireD001 5m meters is an impressive height but i hope you can keep that... Most guys who go into college jumping 16+ are the ones who drop down to 14ft vaulters...And highschool means nothing Tim Mack jumped 13'6 in highschool and went on to win 2004 olympic Gold. Lets leave the cockiness and the egos out alright? Cheers mate.
Five meters isn't high?... Hahahahaha... Try sixteen feet 4.8 inches... Keep dreaming... Oh and FYI I cleared thirteen six as a freshman in high school and right now I'm a freshman in college... Grow up a little bit more before u try to talk smack about something that u know nothing about
Well im sure i will be jumping 5m by the time i am a senior, i am really fast and really strong. I bet you are lying too because you seem like one of those people that know a lot about the sport but never were good at it so you comment on youtube videos to make yourself feel better.
HA walker didnt even clear 5m in high school... but if you can push 2 feet off of the top of a 15 ft pole then by all means do it, but its half technique and half strength... if you force the bend, you will stall
@DunmireD001 well in college 5m isnt that high... thats like jumping 13 in high school it good but your not going to win anything... you would know this if you were in a good district im also in college and we have 3 ( that are freshman) guys going over 5.2m and 2 (freshman one of tham is me) going over 5.5m. so plz stop talking shit to kids in high school.. by the way me and my team have only jump for 3 to 4 years if you only jump 16 after 6 years you need to look for a new soprt.
@620mPV WOW u are such a bad ass... can i have your autograph??? really.is that what u want??? triplejracing is my teammate and he is over 5m also... we were just acting like jackasses via youtube by mouthing eachother...its not about who vaults the highest... no matter what,its fun as hell, win or lose... u worry about the competition and we wil go do what we do best... vaulting, dirt biking, cliff diving, ping pong... we do it all... LIKE A BOSS!
notice how huffman has to let go of the pole, even tho he is three feet away from the bar... this is because he curls up in a ball right after he takes off, witch reduces his penetration...
if you want to be a weak vaulter, vault like huffman... if you want to be a great vaulter, vault like bubka... i suggest 4 you to watch him vault. and tell me the difference
huffman held the american record up until walker just broke it... that is not weak. even walker bends both of his knees on the end of his swing, it gives a more explosive invert
@DunmireD001 if you want to be a weak vaulter vault like huffman? you got to be joking. huffman's vaulting style isnt as good as bubka's but the huffman roll can be just as effective as the regular style if done correctly. so i wouldnt consider huffman's style as being "weak"
and triplejracing... you will probly always be a weak vaulter, because you have only been doing it a year, and already you think you know everything about it... i have been vaulting for six years, i have cleared 5m. and i still show room for improvement.
ok... the reason he, and so many others do the roll is because they are too weak to hold a good takeoff position, witch prevents him from being able to swing his trail leg through, allowing him to get inverted... and you dont need lowere body any more than you need upper body streingth... you need fast, explosive legs, a strong upper body, (to hold a good takeoff position) and great core streinght to help get inverted.
You obviously don't know the first thing about pole vaulting... i've only been vaulting for a little over a year now and know that that was a very good jump and it is another form.
I'm 16 and was compeeting in the WYC in Italy. I saw this film thee day before the competition and afterwards I was so excited that I won :D I jumped 4,32m with a PB outside on 4,12m before. Thanks
yes it requires your abs,shoulders,tricep,bicep,not alot of forarm,and and make sure to work onyour speed. i recomend doing hand stand pushups for begineers. do 10 sets of 10 each day after practice unless you have a meet the next day. you should also do about 1000 crunches a day and do planks and v rocks. GOOD LUCK! it is fun im in 8th grade and is looking to get 10'6 this year :)
ummmmmmmm no! the main thing u need to pole vault is a strong lower body so you can drive straight through and bend the pole. if you have only upper body strength and no lower body, u will have no speed, u wont jump high, and you will load the crap out of the pole and break it.
ablsoluly not. i dont get it. hes so fucking good but i lost all respect for him cuz hes the bigest tool in not only pole vauling but sports in general. like after you jump 19 feet why do you have to fucking ride your stick like a fucking donkey. so gay
i used a 14'1" 180 spirit, but i only weight 140 and that thing fired me like a cannonball, then i got sick for a week and had to stiff pole a 140 pound pole...i was so depressed cause that killed my season
hey you seem like an experienced pole vaulter... how much upper body strength is involed im doing vaulting for the first time on march 2 and i wanna no...
in general pole vault has a lot of upper body strength, but first time vaulting you *probably* wont need it, i think youll just be trying to kick your feet above your hands and flopping over for the most part. But eventually youll need upper body strength and speed and such
i have done pole vautling for about a year and what i think requires strength is your chest, abs and arms and for me it was my lower back as well because everytime i went over the bar i would stretch my back... I think u will be fine if u r in some what of good shape, good luck its fun
k ummm dont listen to any of these guys, sure you need upper body, but lower body is the most important. you need to have a powerful run and jump hard and high.
i don't like pacers, all the ones i've had have been pretty heavy compared to their UCS counterparts. They bend really easy though. Shame the lose some of that off the top as a result.
From my experience (which isn't much tbh lol) UCS are the hotness.
I love spirits. i personally think their the best. my school is just cheap and didnt have another one i could go onto. so i moved to the pacer which was just a little stiffer. i liked it and it sucks that it broke. but honestly i would still have liked to move onto a bigger spirit. and yeah ucs is really good at bein lightweight. except for the pacer III's
he vaults on Cata poles. only person in the world at his level that does very strainge. as a huge % use carbon Pacer FX. my self included as i found they are the best poles.
spirit is still the most popular brand among the top vaulters. "best poles"? depend on what you like, pacer are light but pretty hard in the beginning. spirit are heavier but smoother. i know russians who thinks pacer are to light, its hard to use other poles after.
i just moved up to my 14 foot 155 spirit. Throws me up so much faster and harder than my catapole. i just haven't penetrated far enough in yet =( it'll happen in a few practices if that
ehhh... the movement stops too much at the bottom of the bend for my taste.... although it makes up for it in its great hoop strength... i dunno... i prefere a rocket... it may be a slower moving pole, but at least it doesn't stop at any point, and the hoops strength is almost as good...
wait... your coach is toby stevenson? or is it justin norberg?... lol... if you have one of the for your coach... you are one lucky lucky man... by the way.. you dont spell coach with a t... lol
youre an idiot, stevenson is not a jackass, he brings entertainment to the sport. im sure you have never actually talked to him cuz i have n hes real chill and nice... so suck a big one
ok dude i never said he wasn't a cool guy, but after he jumps he acts like he's never cleared a height. I'd be enthralled to talk to him, maybe get advice and whatnot, but it's like I don't like him. You don't know what I was thinking so you can fuck off you and don't talk to me if you don't know me you moron.
Yeah, Toby is a cool guy but he gets way too excited after his vaults. Like at the 2004 olympics, he celebrated as if he had won the competition, but Tim mack topped him and made him look kind of stupid. Funny because Tim Mack barley celebrated at all.
i just started im in 10th and 1A privit schools first meet was 8 then 9,10, and now 11 foot soo at 11'6" im going to states top 4 and i can't wait... its addicting...
who is the dude in the begining at the beach, the one who does the splits to get over than spins sidways once he does? all i can remember is that his first starts with a H.
i just started pole vaultin like 8 months ago and my pb is 10'6 (in comp) for some reason i could never get over 11 DAMNIT!!!! but then i came home one day AnD i watched this video...the next day i watched it again like 5 times b4 i left for practice...when i got there...i sat 11'6...THIS VIDEO IS GOD!!!
ahah shit dude... CT states mark is 11 ft for outdoor... ahahh... and favored to win is like 15-16 ft... ahhhah goes to show that state size is a really big factor...
f** dude. i feel like a jackass. lol oh well this season, i am going to hit 14. im lifting right now and sprint workouts and can walk on my hands for a long time. im determined, but i still feel like a jackass lol
hey around here 12'6 is still good for a freshman or soph. So just keep at it.
i got 14'10 and i only advanced to state prelims because my Section is weak. I didnt compete at state cuz of grades =/ btu i would have gotten routed!
i only vaulted this season, during season... march to may. first year of vaulting, made 13 feet. i had an awesome coach and my dad vaulted in college so i had a lot of help all the time
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd
since we are all talking about wat we did.... started track sophmore year started vaulting at the last 2 months of outdoor and hit 12' 9'' beat that .. haha
I love vaulting. Started my sophomore year last year and hit 10' 3" before the season was over, take in mind that was my first year and I am about 5' 2" tall and about 105 lbs. But I am working out to add a bit of weight. I can't wait to start vaulting again! Sweet vid!
yeah i know what u mean. I am an avid water polo player (goalie) and i joined track this year to keep my legs strong for next water polo soeason. However, halfway through the season I started having knee problems, and there was an opening in the pole vault team so i tried it..and now im hooked. I vulted for 4 weeks that season and by the end i made it over 10 feet, so i guess i did pretty well. Hoping to reach 12 or 13 after next season.
I thought your vid rocked! I was a prodigy pole vaulter in Middle School, (13'6" at 14 yrs). Sergie Bubka ? was my hero. I moved to a school my freshman year where they didn't have vaulting, moved back for my sophomore year, broke ankle, and that was it, went from collegiate hopeful to pictures in a year book, I thought your video Rocked! Good Luck!
I wish I was as fast as guys like Huffman, Ryland, and Duplantis. That'd be sick. Imagine if Huffman was 6'2 with his speed, he would have jumped so much higher than he did. Mad props to the roll.

Yeah, Toby is a cool guy but he gets way too excited after his vaults. Like at the 2004 olympics, he celebrated as if he had won the competition, but Tim mack topped him and made him look kind of stupid. Funny because Tim Mack barley celebrated at all.

This is a sick sick video. Skipper and bullard seem to soar over that bar every time.
They've announced that the California High school "At large" mark is 14'10 for the pole vault for the 2008 outdoor season.
The Favorite to win state- Nico weiler, PR- 17'06".4
Wow.

rhsxc19 4 years ago
15 feet is qualifying down there? holy shit. i live in minnesota, so not too many people can get up there. i think 15'2" won state last year.
bmercilstunt 4 years ago
yeah man the guys around here are monsters! umm the past 4 years..maybe 5 the lowest winning state height has been no lower than 17 feet...=o
rhsxc19 4 years ago
well... i feel good where i'm at here but obviously i'd be a joke there. oh well. what do you get?
bmercilstunt 4 years ago
hey around here 12'6 is still good for a freshman or soph. So just keep at it.
i got 14'10 and i only advanced to state prelims because my Section is weak. I didnt compete at state cuz of grades =/ btu i would have gotten routed!
rhsxc19 4 years ago
lame. im a freshmen this year. last year i went 12' 6" missed state cuz of a broken ankle.

I love vaulting. Started my sophomore year last year and hit 10' 3" before the season was over, take in mind that was my first year and I am about 5' 2" tall and about 105 lbs. But I am working out to add a bit of weight. I can't wait to start vaulting again! Sweet vid!
Guardbug 4 years ago
yeah i know what u mean. I am an avid water polo player (goalie) and i joined track this year to keep my legs strong for next water polo soeason. However, halfway through the season I started having knee problems, and there was an opening in the pole vault team so i tried it..and now im hooked. I vulted for 4 weeks that season and by the end i made it over 10 feet, so i guess i did pretty well. Hoping to reach 12 or 13 after next season.

I thought your vid rocked! I was a prodigy pole vaulter in Middle School, (13'6" at 14 yrs). Sergie Bubka ? was my hero. I moved to a school my freshman year where they didn't have vaulting, moved back for my sophomore year, broke ankle, and that was it, went from collegiate hopeful to pictures in a year book, I thought your video Rocked! Good Luck!
