:yes: Yes! Thanks for dedicating your clinic to the memory of Altius! :rose: :heart: If I recall, I think you did that last year too! :yes: Kirk p.s. PVP has not been the same without him. :no: No more English idioms, like " don't get your knickers in a knot " ... " spot on mate "...

By "in your takeoff", what I mean is that your top hand isn't directly vertical above your takeoff foot. Therefore, it *must* be off to the left a tad too much. If it was off to the right (typically due to a late plant, or not reaching up as high as you should), then you'd drift right. But...

Archer, I was at first thinking that your vid was excellent - taken from the right view for the issue that you're trying to figure out. But unfortunately, it doesn't show your takeoff foot when you leave the ground. That might be revealing. I do note that your trail leg is at what I would consider a...

Thanks, VaultMD. I've corrected it now.

Congratulations and good luck to Sam Kendricks. He has a good chance for an Olympic Bronze, possibly higher if Lavillenie or Barber faulter.

First, read my posts in the thread titled "How to "go up - not out"? Roll the pole! It's basic physics!". You can find it by searching for "kirk basic physics". Your style of vaulting is quite a bit like Jason Colwick's! An extreme double-leg swing! I'm not going to say...

First, refer back to my comments to your thread in the Equipment forum: http://www.polevaultpower.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=55939&p=222325#p222325 Second, make sure you read my post above (the one that Austin linked you to). Here's a few more technical comments ... You say you need a new...

Never mind about the vid. I just found it here: http://www.polevaultpower.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=55936 I would say that you can improve quite a bit in the next year, and once you do, you really will be mushing out your pole. Since this thread is in the Equipment forum, I'll move to your ...

Take a look at Jan Johnson's (Skyjumpers) Pole Chart here: http://www.vstraining.com/skyjumpers/component/content/article/93-articles/pole-vault/65-pole-progression-chart Your pole has a relative stiffness of 31 on that chart, so my guess is that a 13-6 150 (relative stiffness = 33) might be your be...
