how do you know when to star backing up your run?? i am on a 14'155 from 4 lefts and i am curious how i am supposed to know when i need to start backing up my run. should i wait till i can get on a certain size pole first then start backing it up 1 left at a time or just wait till i can feel comfortable with each run then start tring to move it back on left at a time?

my coach always told us to start backing up once we showed we were not at our top speed when we plant. Need to use all the energy without slowing down.

Set yourself a goal for that run. Stay there until you reach it, then move back and do it again! Its a fun way to "face your demons" as Bubba Sparks puts it. By that he means you have to address your issues NOW, before you can go higher. Try it. Ye shall see.

Try and work your way up to the biggest pole on the highest grip that you can while still jumping Effectible. Then once you feel you have topped out move back a step... Make sure you read what I said Effectible, it is good not bad to be holding high on a big pole. But only as long as you can jump properly.

Also, if u move your run back and are winded after just a few (my coach said if ur winded after 10, go back to the orginal spot) and then do some more pole runs after practice
