Im on a 15' 170 pacer carbon fx and my goal by June 6th is 17 feet cuz im trying to get to junior nationals , earlier this year i cleared 16' 1" on a 14'6" 170 sky pole. Does anyone have any major doubts about my goal? i think its possible if i get in the right position on the top of the vault and get thrown cuz the carbon fx's have BIG TIME throw off the top.
Anyways let me know what you all think, thanks.

sounds like it should be possible if you can handle the bigger pole well w/ the extra power. do you have a video of your vaults?

if you can hit the same positions on a bigger pole you should be able to... but the thing is ive seen some people that really arnt any good jump 16 but ive never seen anyone without a lot of skill jump 17 so it is a huge difference in that one foot.... i think if you put ur mind to it enough you might be close

I think its gonna be a lot on how much that pole is throwing you, work on being taller and get on some heavier poles, because im guessing if you are on a 15 170 and jump 16'1, you weigh about 140? i could be way off, but just keep getting stiffer poles and theres no reason you cant get up there. And you are trying to go to junior nationals, isnt that qualifier 4.90 (16'1)?
