i agree with what you said, and true, not everyone jumps up, but they should learn to, because it will get you on a longer pole, if that is your aim.
What have you done today to get better?

True everyone has to jump somewhat at the plant but there are different types of vaulters, for instance im a drive vaulter, so I get tall as possible but keep my angle straight5 ahead, not up. And I drive the piss out of it, example Derek Miles, Joe dial, tim mcmicheals etc... Usually jump vaulters takeoff a little outside an there angle is up, if your going to do this you better be able to lj like a son of a gun!

true, i guess guess different types might not jump up as much, but the ones who do can get on longer poles with less speed :idea:
