I would say it looks like 17', not 16' or 16'6.

Sweet all around.... I saw it on the internet, and when the pole is going into the box you can catch a "gill" logo on the pole....

GREAT take off shot, you want to learn from the stud himself, frame by frame that.... Big jump--arms up.... gives me goose bumps....

Is it just me, or does it look like a left handed vaulter when they change from a side shot to rear shot. Notice the bend sweeps to the right and he swings on the left side of the pole. Am I crazy?
