When it comes to being able to run an 8.9 m/s for a girl at the box, isn't Stacy Dragila close. I thought I read somewhere she ran 8.5 m/s, I will have to look it up though. I definitely agree with Robert and agapit if a girl possess all those qualities then 18ft is possible.

As stated good coaching is key, and it depends on what area you live in, some areas do have more competition than others, weather isn't really a factor if you are properly trained, I mean certain weather conditions are prefered and others aren't.

I think I had a friend do this once and it looked tough, and in simple terms tell me if I am getting it, YOu do the short run and plant then as it recoils or after it recoils? then you re-grip or climb? Will the pole somewhat bend again or shouldn't it?
