Hi, My names Riz and I'm currently a vaulter from the UK. I will be coming to America to train during the dates of 31st March- 22nd of April spending a week in NYC, Yale, Harvard, Penn, and Cornell Respectively. I am currently at University and, it is a visiting trip to train and compete. I am hopin...

since i was injured last year i have been doing nothing but squats sprints abs...repeat! and now im big and fast and bla and have a seargent jump of just under 80cm (2ft 6??) im 16 and 6ft 5. Now ive been vaulting and ive been jumping 15 foot off 8 strides (4 lefts) gripping 13ft8 non effective, and...

hmmm, I try to avoid counting down steps, but whichever helps. I mean, there's enough to worry about in the vault without counting your strides. ive done so many, lowers and sliding boxes, plant and drive off 2 strides, that i KNOW when to plant when iI'm racing down the run way. I suppose its just ...

if by nut up, you mean grow some bollocks then yes! lol i don't like people that pussy-foot around, getting scared and blocking or running through at take off. To be frank you shouldn't worry too mch just because your pole got a few inches bigger, most guys cope with the same scenario 8 times a day....

If you rhythm run, habits can form, as one can "remember" the same beat. If the consistancy in your run is not the same, ultimately you will plant late or too early and changing you're run won't help because every run up is different. I do rhythm running as you call it, and i've done it fo...

Im 16, about 6 ft 4, run my 100 in about 11.3-4; the video i plan to post later will fill the rest in. Im jumping off a 15 ft 180 off 8 to 10 strides or 4 - 5 lefts as you lot say. Im having trouble with my swing. Being tall I understand that long levers mean a larger arc of movement and therefore a...

its called the Olympics and yet its only for americans...should i even ask, well what would you need if I was american.

i see so im a sophmore...dddude thats pretty sick man UK number one is in league with this guy then. Now i just need to catch up

how old are you when you're a sophmore? could someone give me the age at which you are in each year, eg how old are you in sophmore? The jumps are good but i have nothing to compare it to if i dont know how old he is. I wanna play too :P ive seen a just gone 15 year old do 4.75m (15ft 6) (????)

haha classic. Heights will come later man, just wacking your grip up isnt the solution. By lowering your grip, you should be able to perfect your technique on a smaller scale, THEN move up. Putting yourself on a large pole will just AMPLIFY your previous problems. And in in your case its the driving...
