Dude what pole were you on when you fell into the plant box? Also just in general, what poles you were using?

Just found a 13' 160 Pacer FX in my school's field house. I was pushing up on it against a wall, bending it, and it really gave way more than was expecting. I weigh 162lbs. Will I end up just blowing through this pole, or worse, breaking it? Also, on the label it says some s*** about 'Bestflex' and ...

Is this a good pole? Could someone include characteristics of flex, recoil, and whatnot?

if im 5 pounds overweight, will a 13' 160 pole break while bending? No. Not if your PR is 10-6 and you're swinging properly. The 160 pound rating of the pole is based on someone using it to clear a bar higher than the grip of your top hand (about 12-6 or so). It's irrelevant for someone that's just...

I'm 6'4" and weigh 163lbs (Yeah, I know..). Does a good bend and penetration depend on arm strength? Are there any advantages of being my kind of slender, lanky build? Please elaborate on some technical parts of pole vault which I should focus on perfecting, accounting for my lack of muscle. Pl...

What's the story with the dances? Could I get DQ'd from celebrating? Under what circumstances would one get jiggy with it straight off the pads? Meet PR? Winning vault? Anytime at all? Elaborate!

I was surfing through some vaulting videos on YouTube and came across a bunch of videos from what looks like the 80's or 90's called Air Strike pole vault technique. Does this work? Is it used? Is it bulls***? I can't find any demonstrations of the technique, so I'm thinking that it's the pole vault...
