Re: We are doomed. Repent and ask for forgiveness.

One of the best threads ever on PVP...had forgotten about it. There are about 5 or 6 original posts on PVP by Agapit that are the real deal and should be read at least once a year for affirmation. On one hand the simplicity is beautiful and on the other mind blowing. Thanks for the great informatio...

Re: the core of m640

I'm sorry but I'm not able to connect the dots between what I posted and what you're saying here. Or maybe you're referring to Walrus' post? :confused: Could you please explain? I have always believed that you needed to JUMP vigorously on takeoff, and I don't see Jake doing that, else his lead knee...

Re: And in the real world.........!

I will say that you have one major advantage altius... it's the same as your major disadvantage: you only have one program. Here, a new vaulter must get lucky in high school to have a good coach, must then get lucky to have a good coach in college that coaches in a way similar enough for the vaulte...

Re: the core of m640

...Wow! The conclusion from this is, that if you look purely from speed preservation, it is better to let the pole to lift the body rather then for an athlete to jump off the ground!??... Really? What are you thinking man?! Well, we just published two new sections on m640.com: "Note to Members&...

Re: And in the real world.........!

If you did not know, Mr. Launder's contribution to pole vault worldwide is enormous! Crystalizing modern ideas and presenting it in a teachable form, is one of the outstanding achievement of Mr. Launder as well. This man understands the event to the depths that most not even aware exist, so I would ...

Re: And in the real world.........!

It was never my intent to make it a competition Altius but, only to give you a perspective on how well your kids in Adelaide are doing! I do want to point out however, that the good ole USA also has coaches (Mostly just fathers not "Elite: either) living "In the real world" and achie...

Why women don't participate

I have listened to this piece on NPR, dealing with participation of women on discussion boards online, and believe it or not, there were several serious studies done on this subject. The conclusion is that it is too conformational and women do not operate like this, they prefer cooperation. Should w...

Re: the core of m640

Jake Blankenship in my opinion is the closest one I know in the world to m640 model today Roman, not to deviate from the current conversation, but would you say that Marvin Reitze, from South Carolina, represents the 640 model pretty well too? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1QAK9t1jjI I perhaps I ...

Re: the core of m640

Gift to Roman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K-HZaXRpSA Isaksson clearing, I believe, a WR of 5.49 or something like that. I'll stay on the sidelines while y'all discuss matters. -6P This video is a perfect illustration of the purpose of this post. Isaksson demonstrates nearly perfect technic, ex...
