One of my students is clearing incredible heights.... on a skypole ez-flex.... is this o.k. in competition??...or is it considered a "traning pole"??

It should be fine as long as it has a normal weight label, not one with a variable weight range.

Right on.... thanks for the much needed info...

If he is clearing incredible heights, something is wrong and probably unsafe. We need to abolish such poles from High School competition!

Rhino - I hope that was a little tongue and cheek

Incredible hgt could be 10ft for a freshman or novice vaulter -- regardless -- If it is built and labeled according to the rules - it is legal -- the design of the sail piece should not be the factor that makes it legal or not - that is not how the rule is written

Everyone should be more aware of the tampered or forged labels, the set-up that do not meet the rules, the exposed hard surfaces, the bad box installations or worn surface in front of a box

It is all about having fun, safely, and hopefully vaulting high - could be 9 ft or 19 ft

Cheers

she......is an 8th grader....
