Does UCS get a royalty for using their color scheme on the pole?

Nice how he got the clap going at the beginning.

I think it's both feet...looks disturbing like Mark Johnson from Coastal Carolina...i wonder if he was the motion capture model?

What is it you have to do with the controls to finish the jump?? It would be cool if you got to pull through on top, but i doubt it. Great, now I'll be made fun of when my friends get this game and i can't pole vault :P.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
