Thanks a bunch. I think the cause of my problem may he overstriding and being under and incorrectly moving back as you said in other threads. I'll be honest I have never used a mid before so i will try that the next time I jump and keep you posted on the outcome. Thanks again.

Dj, could you please clarify how to get a starting point for a run of 7 lefts. I understand that my mid should be 46 feet, if i am holding 13 9, and im 6'1" tall. I guess my question is do you put tap down at 46 feet from the box, then run back an aditional 3 lefts to find a starting point for ...

On a 14 foot pole (gripping 13'9") my run is 14 steps, 7 lefts, with a length of about 93'6", more towards 94' in competition or when i am a little juiced up.

Hello all. Does anyone have any tips to get through a spell of not being able to take off? I know that physically, my run is 100% on, im on a pole i can crush, (and have crushed in the past).

Thanks alot, will definitely try to work on the drive knee at practice. Any advice for getting back fully and extending. I know my coach and I have been talking about how i would go much higher if i do not sit in the L position, and i knee to get my head and shoulders back. Any thoughts or keys to a...

Last saturday i jumped a PR of 13 feet on a huge pole (it was 14ft 170 and i weigh 145). I know that if i can improve my technique especially at the top, i can acheive much greater heights, hopefully 14 plus feet by the time districts and states come around. There was little to no wind on this day, ...

During take off you should apply pressure upward. No, you should be elastic here Once the swing begins, if you are still pushing with your bottom arm is this not a passive phase You are not still pushing, because you just came out of an elastic position. I am not an expert but i have studied the pe...

oh yeah, in addition when i do an approach on slide box i hit my left foot every time... whats wrong!?
