It looked awesome. I just don't really like the angle it was filmed at. It was hard for me to pull anything out of your vault. You get way higher than I do though.

Rockback once and go! Don't waste your physical and mental energy rocking back and forth like that at the start.
You are dropping the pole tip too early and running with it horizontal the whole time. Keep the tip up longer so that you can maintain your running posture. Read some of the posts that altius and agapit have in the Advanced forum about the pole drop.

I have the opposite problem and I drop too late.

The angle isn't great but it looks like you are a bit under because you don't really stay behind the pole at takeoff, and then you could definitely swing further back to finish the vault, otherwise a pretty solid looking jump.
