You are taking off somewhat under and are collapsing your "mushy" left arm. Think about doing the following things (not all at once). First, move your step out 4-5" and don't thereafter stretch your step to be under again!. Second resist with your left arm from the very beginning of the jump. this is not "blocking" You are pushing both hands upward at 45 degrees. This will cause the pole to move out in front of you and will allow you to later swing into a rocked back position without releaing the pressur on the pole. Finally you could be a just a little more agressive on jumping off your take off foot. This will be easier to do once your step is on.
These things should put you in a better position behind the pole you the nust drive your right knee forward and upward and swing your trail leg hard, and hang on!
You've got a good fondation now take it to the next level.
Good Luck!

Hey thanks for the reply!
Yeah I'm really trying to figure out this whole bottom arm business. Whenever I put pressure with the bottom arm, I end up blocking out, and not being able to swing at all, so arghhh.
I'm going to really start working on plant boxes soon
anyway thanks for the help!
