I’m a pole vaulter in high school and I love when people make videos and try pole vaulting bc it can be so fun but it’s not something everyone will try.
its fun, isn't it? i am a highschool pole vaulter and it can be terrifying to run at a box with a pole sometimes, but the more you do it the more comfortable you will become with it. its fun to see you improve and get out of your comfort zone.
In NJ (USA), boys opening height in a high school meet is 7’0” (2.13m), so to get to almost 8’0” in only 10 days is very respectable. I’d get you over 10’0” in 10 more days 😜. Great video brother. -Coach Dan
It looks not that hard, but if it's anything like how you made highlining look easy, then it's probably way more progress than what most people do on their first 10 days. Have you done any highlining again since? Are you following up on those activities you do for videos in general?
Haha thanks mate! Yeah some of them, the ones that really get me going haha. Highlining I would love to but it is a lot of work setting it up so think I will only do it every now and then
When you lift your back leg off the takeoff, your center mass moves upward and becomes less stable on the pole. When you SWING your leg through off of the takeoff and whip it upwards from the hip, your center mass becomes more stable, your lower half rotates upwards more powerfully, and your body goes higher. You got a bit of that at the end. It's very well done for only one week's work.
first thing i noticed on day 7 was that you were swinging the wrong leg up and driving the wrong knee up you were jumping like you were rghty and your holding the pole lefty
If it was easy, it would not be an Olympic event; it's fun to watch ppl try these things, but to be under the assumption that it can be mastered in 10 days is unrealistic; it's impressive if you can get over the bar, but to think or expect anything more in 10 days shows that ppl do not understand that this is something that usually takes years to master.
For a moment there, I thought "I guess Laurie won't make it this time around" But awesome to see that you managed to break some low records. I don't know if I suggested this already, but even though you make physically demanding challenges, what about my dream come true, becoming a model in 30 days lol Man, I would enjoy that a lot! lol
I absolutely love this video. I am a masters athletes and have been working on pole vaulting for a few years. I'd say 90% of it is mental. Good positive energy and can-do attitude = successful jump.
When you drive your knee, it’s on the wrong side when you start with the pole on your right, you drive on the right side of the pole after planting, the way you plant and drive would work it you held it with you started with the pole on your left side
I learned how to pole vault my senior year of high school and got up to 9ft9in by the end of the season, it was a blast. Well done getting up to almost 8ft in just ten days.
and you were jumping off the wrong side of the pole!!! I just wanna coach you now!! you have so much strength and ability, just no one to tell you how to do it
Landing on the bar hurts doesn’t it. I’m learning pole-vault for the first time this year and for fun I jump with the high jumpers but I hurt landing on the bar
Crazy how 2.40m is lower than the high jump world record and the pole vault record is upwards of 6.2m ... Like those athletes are insane!
I know it’s insane!

You must be a good gymnast to be able to pole vault
Mondo Duplantis was jumping higher than that at age 8.... of course he had lots more practice by then
This is the video I've been looking for! For years, I wondered how you even get started in pole vault and now I know - thank you!

7:20-7:40 is absolutely golden!

You are crazzy man!!! Hats off!!
Yeah you got that, I’ll stay on the ground 💀
😂
Pole vault is actually very easy, it just takes a lot of form and speed.(state champion)
I’m in 8th grade and just won my ccc meet with 9.4ft lol
Anything can be easy when you are good at it
U definitely have more patience than I do....I would get so frustrated....can't wait to see what u do next 👍

Dude you are underated
Tried it once, well done man.
Cheers mate!
You need to use your arms....you can't hang on the pole like a noodle.

easy like, I love pole vault. We love new pole vaulters! It's like crack once you get higher and higher on the poles
@Laurie Shaw are you a lefty? its so much harder for leftys
and you were jumping off the wrong side of the pole!!! I just wanna coach you now!! you have so much strength and ability, just no one to tell you how to do it
I did a two day camp and somehow got 9’2 on the second day
That's 2'8m
I watched another channel where the guy got 3.15m in one day. Insane after seeing this.
when you cleared 2:40 you accualy bent the pole really nicely done
