I was the slowest vaulter in the world, but i used the petrof model befor Bubka to set 8 indoor and outdoor world records as a senior 25 national titles and back to back world championships. I presently had 8 hs state champions this year. 7th grader#1 in the nation 105lb. Holdes 12-7 om a 13'154 essex and absolutly gets BLOWN up off the end. Let me make it simple--You put an arrow in a bow and pull it back, If you have guts enough to get COMPLETELY inverted EARLY and COMPLETE the vault EARLY!! You can be a super vaulter, because your technique is as good as BUBKA's. If the 19' american vaulters had your technique, they would be 20ftr's. Keep on doing what your doing, and find enough courage to complete the vault OUT IN FRONT, and you mwill fell like your shot out of a cannon. You must COMPLETE the vault BEFORE the pole straightens out. Charlie Polhamus Masters world champion and world rcord holder and proud of it
