I like how the officials don't even flinch, I would have been ducking for cover expecting a pole explosion

SO, not a jump because he didn't break the plane?

Bess would point out that he was on a much bigger pole thus making his more impressive.

Glad he's OK. Bubba

He has a nice straight trail leg.
