Second attempt is under. He keeps the right leg slightly more bent (but not tucked completely), thereby speeding up rotation around top hand by a notch, allowing him to complete the roll-up in time (he peaks above bar).

I totally love your slow-mo videos...


I would disgaree, i think his entire jump starting with the takeoff was much better than the second, his topend was much better in the first one which helped move the pole way past verticle. In the second he gets under and comes off early which had the pole not even getting to vertical... So by a bad plant it gave hime the effect of jumping on a bigger pole.

Kyle, I think you missed my point. Overall, I also like the first attempt the most, but IMHO, he blows it because he drops the knee.

Had he retained the tuck, would he most likely, have covered the pole faster, and peaked above the bar by a fair margin. Again, IMHO.
