well I'll give a critiq. What i noticed is that you look at the bar. I dot he same but you should look at something else. Maybe a tree or a post something that is up, so when you jump you don't look at the bar. Second thing is, you don't swing all the way up. You do like the typical beginner thing. ...

this guy asked for a video critique and out of all the responses there is only one.

i hate grips. i just put chalk on my hands and hope i dont damage them too much.

ooo. ok. my coach calls it the bubka swing and the rocking swing. He says the petrov is better. In petrov i think you swing like a gymnast when they do a kip. Their body is straight throughout the swing. This probl. isn't a good explanation.

how do you figure out your mid mark? Is it your run divided by two. My run is 66 ft from 7 lefts.

I don't know if it has to do with a strength difference or anything like that. Does blocking really inhibit getting to vertical or n...

i live in philly, its way too far from me and way to expensive. It would take me 1.5 -2 hrs to get there. Maybe if there's a carpool or something liek that. The coach from vertical assault was at the meet.

Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could review my jumping from my last meet. Starting height was 7ft. I think i need help on how to get my trail leg to stay straight during swing, and how to continue swinging. At 8.5 ft on my last jump i switched poles. but that isn't on the video. I used a 11.5 ...
