haha no one really knows what to thinking here brian. haha you posted 12'5 but im sure people didn't think it was you taking a skip and a left into the take off. Pretty good! The only thing i see is that you tend to have you arm back already at the take off. I say this but you don't have tension on the pole until your off the ground but i guess i have more of a question as to y you do this.

Isn't the one step world record 12'6'' or 7"? I'm sure of it... You're close!

Yeah i just thought itd be interesting to show. I have done more 1 and 2 left jumping than i ever though i would. And yeah, i tend to plant behind me a bit.. but im working on it. haha.

Derek miles has jumped 13'2 from 1 left
jeremy scott has jumped 13'3
daniel ryland has jumped 13'

i think dub jones jumped 12'8 gripping 11'8 from 1 left. pretty sick push off

i have had some really good looks at 12'8.. just couldn't the bar up.

You're skipping on your first step! That counts as an extra step!!! :)

Haha, I saw that too... :D
Good jump, but I would like to see a more 'vicious' extension. I know how difficult it is not to 'flop' from such a short run, but if you can come off the pole quickly from 1 left, once you move back, say hello to at LEAST 5.70. You can get rid of the little bit of tuck you have in your full vault from just doing these, so keep pushing that bar up!
