Hey so i would say that it is much more essential, because I am assuming that you are a high schooler, to get the proper run, plant and take off mechanics before worrying about swing "technique". I would much rather see a guy jumping 12' on a 15' pole 30 lbs over his weight than a guy jump...

When the pole has reached it's maximum bend, what position should the vaulter's body be in? When the pole is completely straight, what position should the vaulter's body be in? (or when the potential energy from the release of the pole has completely transfered into kinetic energy and momentum takes...

And what in the world is a rock conveyor belt?

I built a Rick Attig swing machine (50$), 2 sliding boxes (25$), A weight pulling sled (25$), a pulley machine for learning the top end (10$) and fixed our pit cage (0$) for my school. All together, this probably comes to 5000$, and I spent 110$. It just goes to show you, that its always cheeper and...
