  • I dissagree with the warning not to "row" it is now taught (by Brad Walker's college coach, Pat Licari) that rowing is essential to the vault.

  • Budka? i think you mean  Sergey "Bubka" the "God" of pole VAULT.

    And it doesnt matter who it is.

    This is a video of the Fundamentals targeted at Beginners. I'm not saying that the vaulter is wrong, im saying that the Video doesnt show enough of the take off prior to the swong. Get it?

  • In the beginning

  • That guy is crushing the f*** out of that pole

  • I have a problem with my swing-up and was wondering if anyone could help? From a four step holding down on the pole (for drills) i can swing up fine. But my issue is converting the swing-up onto 8 lefts full run.

  • why you gotta show a black guy pole vaulting the wrong way...

  • yah i agree with urteos i have practiced a lot with pat and the row is near essential to the vault especially once you get on bigger poles

  • yeah im a soph going 14' =P

  • Dont bring your hands to your feet, bring your hips to your hands! This requires you to break at the hips a little, but the important thing is to stay as long as possible as you swing.

  • it's not a row, just simply moving the pole back into position above you where you can swing to it

  • rowing causes one to try to meet the hands to the feet and eventually extend off the pole. i used to not really row, but after my coach mentioned it, it definitely made about a 6" or 1' difference

  • Well if you have ever tried to swing on a high bar you notice that you cannot swing with your arms in front of you. Same thing with the row. It causes your arms to move in front of your body, which stops you from swinging.
