condition that brain and the body to be on the same page. like when you almost fall and your body just kind of takes over ypou know? except in these cases its happening while the user is actively aware. so instead of just falling hoping your body saves you, you can fall and scan your surroundings and place yourself to fall in the best manner possible. run through the woods on a trial and you will see how everything comes on line putting you in the zone. just my opinion from my experiences (mostly skateboarding)
Just think about this for a second… It’s 1300 AD, you feeling HELLA safe in your castle walls, and then 10 dudes show up hop over them walls with sticks and then take your shit.
Never mess with a kid in school who pole vaults. They possess no fear and I am confident they will get back up from anything you can throw at them because nothing hits harder than the ground from a botched run.
@Brandon Heat why are yall so fragile in these comments? By your logic nearly all sports played in the USA are anti-white propaganda- football, baseball and basketball etc. Crying about it solves nothing bub
In the Netherlands, in the province of Frysia, they would call that fierljeppen. The goal is not to go the highest, but the furthest distance, over a brook.
The way they bend, if there's a small crack in it from falling too many times it'll snap. Poles go by weight and how long the pole is, so they usually start with a shorter pole, but it stays within your weight range, though they generally try to keep it as close as possible in order to have more bend
That last one. He seemed so far from the bar line, I literally said out loud this isn’t going to go/end well. Then slowly BUT surely, he got higher and higher! 😂
for those wondering : yes it is a lots of fun the feeling of it. at first it tight like strong core body contraction but then it's like taking off in a swing chair and at the end you falling it's like 5 fingers tickling your booty before landing like a couch potato
@mikeyiwnl LOL. My humor was totally lost on you. Compare the last one to the first two. Now wasn't the last one amazing? Sure, it's not a 20' or higher record. It's better than what I could have done in high school.
Former vaulter here… This shit is insanely tough. Our high school stopped having pole vault in the mid 80s and my dad brought it back in 2004. He placed 4th at State in 1971 and rebuilt the program in 04
i was an top 5 pole vaulter in my state a few years ago in high school, it’s definitely as hard as it looks, very technical. must have crazy core strength to even get upside down on the pole
I thought the last guy would break his pole but the way he stretched out to reach the bar I already knew he would be awesome, not to mention the catch, made it perfect!❤
When I ran track, they made each of us compete Ina field event. I was totally mesmerized by the pole vaulters. Then I saw a girl run up, put her pole into the pocket, bent up, and then it snapped to where she wasn't quite to the bar or mats yet. She went about 6 feet and landed flat on her back. Luckily it was a recycled rubber approach so it was cushioned a bit, but she got the wind knocked out of her like I've never seen. We ran up and her eyes looked like dinner plates. She sprang up, grabbed me and one of our coaches trying to get a breath in. She started quick shallow breaths and muttered, "did I break that pole?" We all laughed our asses off, but it was sketchy man.
