Re: Trouble getting complete inversion
You can refer to Brian Ferry's book Modern Pole Vaulting, for an explaination. If you want to try it,
do a Bubka with feet flexed and toes pointed, and see which works better. I'm not sure why it works, sorta like the flight of the bumblebee, you dig.

Was also going to reccomend keeping the right shin moving opposite the pit once hips are above shoulders.

Re: Trouble getting complete inversion

Re: Help me get on a bigger pole

You could also endeavor to improve the quality of your video. It looks like you're being filmed from across town.
