Curling into a ball

Unread postby arector » Wed Nov 14, 2007 7:20 pm

When i vault, i tend to curl into a ball and sit over the bar... i've cleared 12 feet like that and i have started to get a better swing... i managed to clear a 14' 6" bungee barelly touching it using a 15' pole, but when i look at the video that was taken i still curl into a ball then push myself strait up. Anyone have pointers on how not to curl up.

Get a video on the video review thread. Then we'll be able to see how much of a ball you are actually getting into. Later...Mike
