  • This is what happens when men play with poles.

  • I rock climb, mountain bike, speedboard and freestyle downhill ski; but in high school I could never get into pole vaulting. It scared the shit out of me.

  • someone should tell that coach to go fuck himself.

  • Man this video makes me want to find a pv club somewhere again

  • I just broke my first pole this week :D

  • just go to 0:26

  • @jakeo102 thanks, i have fixed that problem now. Never broke another pole jumping well over 5m

  • @coffeecup212121 I pushed low with my left arm instead of up putting a lot of pressue in the middle of the pole. It was a newish pole but my technique made it snap

  • @running4545 your right and i'm still there

  • @hawthornechemical That rule is only in the USA. I don't like it. Causes more danger then it mends. I'm in Canada that rule does exist here

  • @dantheman513 No, it shouldn't happend with proper technique, you can't learn pole vault with out jumping on lighter poles. If your not moving it, your not really working on anything. The point of this practice was to practice moving the pole and flying off the end. Instead what i did was push with the left arm which makes the bend lower and prone to a break. It was my technique not the pole

  • @imaxcrunner2013 Thanks, aiming for 5.30+ at 5.15
