Kirk: "Willrieffer, I was going to ask you to define the term "elemental pole rotation" ... but never mind. I found the source of all this wisdom! It's at the 20-second mark of this vid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAELTlDbAps First of all Kirk Willriefer was not the one to use th...

Some of you may laugh at this guys ideas and I don't care. They make perfect sense to me and match my observations of things Lavellenie does better to match the natural charcteristics of what the pole wants to do. Here is another one of his videos. His ideas came out prior to lavellinies World recor...

Will, I believe the entire premise of your Gravity Vector point is that Lavelillenie has found a superior way to load the flexing pole earlier,while in the air by keeping his Cog low by keeping his legs and hips back more and longer in his swing. You now have fully explained from a Physics standpoin...

Evidently my statement about the Experts with the overinflated ego's must have applied to Kirk (I didn't address anyone in Particular but he got all offensive)

No worries , I won't be coming back for while.

Your post should be sounding about exactly like mine by then.

Do you agree that Lavellenie does a better job of not fighting the poles elemental rotation better than Bubka?

You take the High Road and I'll take the low ♪ and I'll break the World Record befoooore you! ♪ (Even though I'm shorter and slower!) Well done Will, well done my friend! You did not have to convince me, I saw it for myself, over a year ago. But thanks to your bright mind and mastery of Physics you ...

Stopped in just to see were this all has gone. I am sorry to hear that Altius has passed. I did not have the time or energy to read through all of PV Students mindless scientific charts and dribble. I read enough to see that he is back peddling now and he even admits that lavellenies technique is no...

Vault3rboy: If you're going to dig into the deep and complicated elements of physics, biomechanics, and physiology to explain a model of the vault, you have a responsibility to do so clearly, simply, and in a way that is easily understood by the average PV'er or enthusiast reading it from their couc...

Altius, a great example of his grandmothers saying. "A man convinced against his will remains of the same opinion still!"

Altius, Not a lot to take from that.

Decamouse, Examine the cap end of the pole. The end with the hole. Throughout Lavellenies WR vault, during pole support. Where is it going? What direction? Do you think the Butt end of the pole is rotating in the box? How much? If the butt end rotates 4 inches, how far does the cap end were Lavellen...

And I suppose if we just imagine that the poles rotation has no effect on the vaulters swing path that it will just disappear? After all, it worked ignoring that effect for the past 20 years for the great thinking minds of the pole vault experts and Bubka! Until a shorter, slower, Frenchman named La...
