Can I make 16?
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 1213690693 this video is of me making an attempt at 15ft.
also look at this one: (horrible plant, i know, but another attempt at 15')
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ck&pl=true
or this one: (my 14'11" PR, again horrible plant, but better drive knee)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ck&pl=true
Do you think I can do 16 this year?
pointers are appreciated, too

Also something that might help would be when you take off, you let your drive leg drop, you should really keep that driving forward, that will help with you penetrating in the pit, one other thing is you let your feet come out at the bar instead of keeping them back and to the top of the pole, anyway good luck with every thing your jump looks good, you got the pike thing going for you. You got that man, good luck with it.

If by that you mean he will quickly knock the bar off then yes....jk.....he is falling into the bar...if it is moved forward he will just hit the bar sooner. The stardards are decent if he just doesnt' fall out.
i mean get a little more vertical with the standard closer and atleast 15' would be there.

hallvaulter wrote:^ what he said, its possible, just stay tighter and dont come out, you could correct this by not letting your left arm come in right when you plant, it would give you more time to get behind the pole and stop it from pushing you out. my two cents, now go jump higher !!
I actually think quite the contrary, i think its the fact that you are behind the pole... if you try and get your shoulders underneath you pole a little more, some people call it 'dropping your shoulders' I would also tell you to try and point your heels to the sky, it usually causes your body to stay tighter and closer to the pole when you start to fly away... with those things, i think you will be ahppy camper..
