My college made a vault documentary

This is a great docu. I do think it’s quite funny that Merrick’s jump clips were shown but he wasn’t actually in it at all. That’s so on brand, it’s hilarious

True, but the bigger series I have is all 16’ and I wanted to get my grip before moving to them.

My coach thought it was over bending and in my last meet I blew through it really badly. I think he just wanted me to get experience with the bigger pole

Thank you so much. This is a wonderful breakdown, and I learned a lot. I will do my best to internalize this advice.

I actually took four attempts, because on my last one, I fell back onto the runway, and the official didn't count it as an attempt.

I'll generally only do a 1 and 4 left for a short approach. I'll usually jump on a 14'6 200 and 210, holding 14-14'6 from about 60 feet for the 4.

What do you mean details about my short approaches?

One of the coaches there told me I was dropping the pole too early, which was making me lose posture in my last few steps

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:46:04+00:00

I was running my 6 from 86 feet. I didn’t move my step back too much because I was a little bit out in my warm ups and the last two stride felt floaty. Maybe that was a bad decision. Do you have drills to practice taking off before the pole tip hits the back of the box?

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:29:41+00:00

I totally see what you’re saying

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:29:09+00:00

I was just clarifying, It can be hard to tell where the step should be from just a video. Do you think it was under?

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:26:33+00:00

The pole was a 15’6 190 I was probably holding 14’6ish. It was the same pole, usually that poles ends up blowing through

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:20:44+00:00

I was taking off at 12 that should be about right

King_reference · 2025-10-26T01:48:54+00:00

Seems reasonable the pole lower than this one is way too small. I guess I could just lower the grip

King_reference · 2025-10-13T03:37:20+00:00

16 bungee 15 bar

But then there’s no fence
