Inversion trust issues
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 9:58 am
Sounds corny, but I have trust issues swinging completely upside down on my big pole, even when landing far enough in the pit.
I'm a 12th grader, 5'9", around 161, and the pole I use in the video is a 14'6" 170 sky pole with a flex of 18.1. I don't know if it's my swing, or if I just need to drop my shoulders and go, but here's the video

My step was around 3 inches under, sorry about my buddies head, atleast he has nice hair. The bar was 13, tying my PR, I would have tried to get better video, but it was a 3 jump meet, so we only were allowed 3 total competition jumps.
My essential question is what do I need to do to nail my swing and invert? I should be flying on this pole, gripping almost the top, getting pretty deep, even on a pole above my weight. I realize I might be asking the wrong question so please correct me and send me on the correct path to a higher vault. Thanks for your time.
