Whoah. How high was the bar for the make from 3L?
Fight the good fight: It's nice to be great but it's far greater to be nice.

Looks like it's from a 4-left actually. Still impressive

Well I guess everyone who hasn't seen it will just have to take our word that it was pretty sweet
Hooker looks good for a guy with a bum knee who is taking his summer/our winter season off.

I think that vid was posted in the summer, which means it was probably footage from some time in june of this past year. I've never seen any flaws in hooker's run, but if he can clear 5.32 and kick 6.63 from 3 then i'd assume that his run is a big thing that he needs to work on. cause if he jumps 5.32 from 3 and 5.61 from 4, is in unreasonably to conclude that 6.10 from 8 should be an "easy" jump for him. But I'm sure all vaulters will agree, the longer run, although speed is gained, efficiency is lost. And since this is definitely a non-linear sports, it's impossible to determine what Hooker SHOULD jump.
Does anyone want to create some type of chart of how things should look?? I'll start:
3L- PR: 5.32 Grip: ? Pole: ?
4L- PR: 5.61 Grip: 15'8 Pole: 5m 12.9
5L- PR:
6L- PR:
7L- PR:
8L- PR:
9L- PR: 6.06 Grip: 5.12? Pole: 5.20 11.3?
Anyone able to fill in some of the gaps?? Thanks. -6P
