on the 7' 2" your losing at lot of speed by pulling the pole up that early and you have a good knee drive trail leg looks good i think
on both 7' 4" attempts
you had no knee drive and no trail leg you can fix this by doin pop ups

Your plant was a little low. When you plant reach for the sky and be as tall as you can be.

Film from the side even with your take off...at least 30 feet away. Filming from behind the pit is worthless.

Don't try to jump but when your pole hits the back of the box you want to be to the point were you are about to get off the ground or only in the air for a fraction of a second. if you really try to jump high you might slow down and that will kill you vault. You kinda want to pop up off your plant foot.
