DERF REGNA we'll see about that

+Ferdorski I suppose as long as everyone is using the same gear, but it does seem like the slingshot poles would give unfair advantage to heavier/stronger vaulters vs. graceful ones.

it was aluminum

My first pole was Swedish Steel, it was damage (and free) so I sawed if off at 10' to vault in backyard at age 12. Pit was tires, raw bed springs, old matresses.

By steel you mean aluminum right? I’m old enough to remember them going from bamboo to aluminum but not for long before fiberglass came out then carbon… I remember when the “Cloud 9” was the thing to land on… lol was quite an improvement over sawdust. Me… I was a shot putter … LOL

Sand? Never saw sand in a pole vault pit. Before the mid-60s we used sawdust (actually more like wood shavings or chips). Your landing technique was probably more important than your vaulting technique.

Yes it is true. In 1960 the pole vault, and high jump pits were both sand. Our one and only pole was Swedish steel.

Yes, bamboo era was definitely in by the 1920s

Vesemann ...,,,did he train with JAN JOHNSON the pole vaulting master of masters at 1 time at Jan .J'zzzz place in Atascadero CA...,,,

Sand was cheaper!

brutal! stuntmen

The ones landing in sand weren't going as high. Modern poles are much more flexible so people go much higher.

Looks like a showboat thing for the american beach crowds without better results

@@giuseppenero110 He cleared 5.97. Hardly showboating.

amp3cx10000a7jp Q...when did he start this style of the top of the jump....he comes so close to waking the cross bar off...Awsome stuff...,,,

U should update this with Mondo

Antonio Nguyen & there Ankells & feet...they had some funky old track spikes

Antonio Nguyen ....,,,knees , face ect...,,,,Gods of the pv game...,,,

Because it is a video about the technique, and not about the great champions of the specialty

Jay Sylva Renaud Lavenville has jumped higher than Bubbka

@@sheyannebusche375 yes, but bubka paved the way to how we all vault to this day. Including the world record holder.

Sergej Bubka is indisputably one the most importtant athletes of all time. He sat the standard for todays pole vaulting with his unique speed, power and grip on the pole.

@@steli6490 Bubka was truly amazing and broke the world record 35 times! He topping out at 6.15 meters, a record that stood for almost 21 years until Renaud Lavillenie vaulted 6.16 in 2014. And now we have 20-year-old phenom, Armond Duplantis, that recently vaulted 6.17 and a week later 6.18. This young man is perfection and will dominate the pole vault for years if he stays healthy.

George Grant well 14ft really I’m a 8th grader on a 12 foot 140 pole and jumped 10’6” very very close to 11’

Ian Busche how many pullups can you do with a 45lbs plate hanging from your waist?

Courtney Huffman Yyy the spinning methodologies...thing $&&& When did he start perfect ing this spinner techniques over the cross bar...I has a few kids 1 at John Marshall H S.of LosFelez Doug Way 11'07'' inch'$ home school all the way ll 10th or 9th Grade,, & 1@t Eagle Rock in L.A.CA Elvis Eldridge 11'06" both did it ok...spinning top over the The Marshall kid Won CIF L.A.CITY SECTION one yrs E.R.H.S. Kid Eldridge his dad Coached em in practice 1once a week .The Dad jumped like 14 in Col or University someWhere back East...The Head Coach at E.R.H.SCREW is a tool a Mr.Martinez...I'd been helping kids with vault since forever zero dollars since 1980$-90'$....real tool said I had to take a NatH.S.fedration test for Coachs Cpr ect dick cheese...poopoo head...

Courtney Huffman ....,,,,Awesome...,,,

True... update needed. Just wait the end of his indoor season before doing a new video.

Real men only need a pile of dirt to land on :-))

For sure! As a high schooler I vaulted 11 feet 7 inches in 1960, and landed in 4 inches of sand!

On which planet do you live ?

PVjules....,,,,, thats rough...,,,

John Rosalie thats funny

Duplantis

S. Hoffman as a Master of doing something different... Of course in term of performance Bubka was above aller ôter vaulters.

+PVjules then you should probably include him in this. Good video until the end.

+Jonathan Fickle with time I must recognize that this sequence is a little confusing. Thanks for watching.

Huffman's technique at the top mirrors that of the great straddle high jumpers, which allowed them to clear heights which were above their body's center of gravity. In that respect it looks good. It does add complexity to an already complex event.

Or a backwards hurdler if there were a thing.

I know. I was there for his last indoor meeting at Clermont Ferrand. Pretty close to brake this 6m19 height.

PVjules woah! I’m jealous that is so sick!

I used a bamboo pole from 1958-1960, when I got my first aluminum pole. The bamboo pole was given me by a guy who worked in a rug sales place, and the carpets came wrapped around bamboo poles.

Steel was actually used for a very short period of time and not many people used them.

sorry m8 I made the video with ressources I had. I stated Scott H. as a master in finding an other way of pole vaulting.

PVjules Masters don't find another way, Masters are the one's who lay the ground work for the future and that's what bubka did. 99% of vaulters use Bubkas technique, that is why he is the master. However, I respect your opinion.

sorry m8 Renaud Lavenville has jumped higher soooo

@@sheyannebusche375 yes... Using a form of Bubka's technique. Lol

John Rosalie bubkas I saw jump indoors in LaaLaa Memorial indoors stadium Sunkist classic he went 19' 19'02''- 19'08'' highest in Us soil at the times 1980??? & Joe Dial , Earl Bell , Billy Olson 19'02'' French guys Quinion 19'07 & a Russian guy they called the Doctor 19'07/08'' Bubka jumped or att 20 ft didn't clear though....A t the beginning of the Sunkissmeet they had some Usc kid start the meet at 14'07'' probably took 40 min to get to 15 ft or higher....took up a boatload of time....Bubkaa did jump till 10:30/11:P.m.,,,11:30 P.m....hes awsome just to watch em worm up...so cool guy...

John Rosalie But Renaud Lanville has jumped higher

Higher than what?

You have a Swedish guy who's "jumped his age in feet" since he was 7.... 21' at age 21 may be the end of this weirdly American record.
