Dude, do you even read the entire threads before you post? VTechVaulter already gave us the answer as to why the pole was that long in this post:

yeah, what i said but obviously didn't word very well is that it used to be a 17 foot pole that he just stuck another 3 feet on the top for pole runs and such. its freakin soooo hard to run with.
It was lengthened to be heavier for pole runs. Nobody could jump on a 20' pole, it's physically impossible.
