He runs up into the pole, and with those monkey arms, can plant from shorter distances. Sick Jump Derek!!!!

Does he do it on poles under his weight like i do for short run, or since hes a freaking stud he does it on pole at or above his weight?
Well, the one time I saw Derrick jump at the building, he was coming from 12 strides on a 17' 13.0--could have been a little more or less--gripping 16'8. Even though weight rating is very arbitrary (especially on HUGE poles like that) I would venture to say it was close to a 210. I will also venture to say that he probably weighs in the 190-195 range, so yeah, he's on poles way over his weight from the short run.
Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties.
