the 130 is an older pole but it's not that old. my friend who's about 140 lbs seems to bend it great so your explanation seems about right. : ) is there any way i could get it to bend though?

ok, i used to use a 120lbs 13'6 pole but i need to move to a 130lbs pole. the only 130 we have is 12'6ft and no matter what i do i wont bend. i need tips, help, suggestions as to why i can't bend this stupid small pole and what i can do to fix the problem. as far as pole damage goes....i think we ha...

how can you tell if your pole has damage or not (and i'm not talking about big cracks in the fiberglass or ne thing like that, i mean small things)? oh yeah, and what do you do if you can't use your old pole anymore (because you've gained muscle/weight) and so you have to use a new one but this new ...

hahaha. i agree....my coach is an idiot. good thing i will have a new one this year.

If anyone knows of a clinic coming up or a club that we (being my teamate and myself) could go and vault at in VA that would be really great. i'm in a bit of a pickle and i desparatly neeeeeed some practice before state champs so anything before feb 30 is good. palllleeeeeez tell me if you so much a...

i think that standards should be moved back too but there's just one problem w/ that: how do you teach kids to vault w/ their standards all the way back at 18 when they have always had them at 14 and done just fine? i mean like people that have been doing it for years and haven't had any problems w/...

I am ready for the outdoor season to begin again.we haven't had many meets this season because of the cold weather. i really haven't thought about what i want to get a whole lot, this year (as far as heights go). i guess whatever happens happens and i will hopefully improve

never heard of that technique before. kinda funny. lol but hey, whatever floats your boat as far as vaulting goes in my oppinion just as long as it's not dangerouse. : ) is it true that a new rule about standards has been made or is that just some rumor? i heard something like " they won't be allowe...

no way! never had a snake in my life (and i'm just fine w/ out one!). dogs don't bite like snakes do!

that's a good question. so what IS the average height needed for female vaulters to be able to vault on a college track team? and in answer to that other question, i personally think that 8'0 or maybe 7'6 is a pretty good start but i'm not sure what the average height is (just a guess).

i have seen many pole vaulters use this technuiqe effectivlely. i think that whatever works for you, is what you should use
