Thats a big jump. With the way you are doing things now, you would just get thrown by it. You definitely need a bigger pole, ideally 2 or 3 bigger poles. But 12' 140 to 14' 135 is about 6 poles up. You could use a 13' 135-140 pretty well right now i'd say.

i think that jump is do-able, i went from an 11ft 140 to a 13ft 140 and went from jumping 10 feet to 13
