A small amount of bend is better for teaching the proper technique. ;)

I agree with you on that JJ. I just wish I was taught that when I was learning the vault! :(

i had a bad series, but its the big transitions that i made in the first two years of high school. i started on a 12'4" 160 freshman year and went 10'6", sophomore i started on a borrowed 13'6" 175 and went 12' on that then went straight to a 15' 165 and 15' 170 and went 13'. junior year my selection was better, i had a 15' 175, 180, and 185, and went 15'6". now senior year ive got two new poles to jump on, a 16' 175, and a 16' 180. we will see how high i go on those

so it was just my freshman and sophomore years that were weird
