CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT

[pVking'a'kRunk]

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME TIPS FOR FINISHING AND REALLY GETTING A GOOD POP OFF THE TOP OF THE POLE...THANX

I'd have to see your jumping in person to give you an accurate piece of advice but I'll give it a shot:

A. Make sure you don't pull you arms in until you are inverted, meaning your hands to your ankles/quads

B. Stay tight, when you fall away from the pole you will be shot outwards instead if up! To do this, make sure when you turn, drop your right shoulder towards the pole as you "pull and turn"

C. Try to ignore the cross bar, and make sure you keep your body as straight as possible! Flayling legs will make you lose balance.


And thats about it, but you could have some errors or habits that may permit you from getting into position for the shoot, turn and fly away....

stiffer poles give u better pop. u just have to be able to get on them without coming up short. also timing ur pull with the bend of the pole makes a big difference.

Run better. Take off better. That's it.

Yeah, the vault begins with the first step. Make sure you have a good run and plant and take off, the rest will come once you have that down.

I wish people would understand that.

I think a lot of people dont understand it, because either they think they have a great run and take off, or their coach does, so they completley disregard it. At Alan Launder's camp, we had pretty much 3 sessions on the approach. Remember, the vault begins with the first step!
