...@@krazed0451...True but ii had 2 x Gymnast Girls Junior or actually 4 + 3 Jv Basketball girls at Flintrige Prep- School LA- Canada Flintrige... In 2019-20... Pandemic messed up everything...

.. But yes most X- Gym- are a bit short.. But if you work on there run..& teach them how to plant && Get the grip up...probably 11. Ft..12 is Max- height... YA. ! You got to work on the run ... It takes a while.. They usually have nice tops..all The gymnastics.. I'm good at the run part.. It's difficult to teach the take- off.. Middle part...I was like a cat & a natural... Though I never had a actual Coach till years out of high school... So ii had 2 reastart- everything.. & My Coach was from North Carolina with a Speech inpedament- hearing disability since bearth. 2. Much Penisiline as a child... & I'm not a good listener....it helped being around old high school guys & World class vaulters... You look at them..I say to yourself.. If they can do it so can I. ...but it's not that easy...I got my grip up on a 15-09... Grip 15-03...05... Probably cleared- 16-06 a lot..few 17-07... 18 1 once.. Scared out of my mind.. I'm actually a scared of height s.. ,,, but if you some what master all phases of the vault it is quite - fun...but it is rough if your my night..5-09..Now 5-07 at age 65..66... It's good to have speed.. But you have to know how to use it ., or it can be a big block.. I'm good at fixing jumpers runs...The rest is drills.. N..being like a cat.. Problem with a cat.. He..she..wants to turn over.. .. I guess inPv you want to try to stay up there for a little while.. & People just want to finishe to fast.. Like a cat.. They just want to get turned over- & on the ground.... I've eatin The ground a few times but I know how to roll...saved me a few times.. My friend Chuck- would say You Go up 15 ft & come down 15 feet.. I've ran into the standard s x2 at Santa Monica college . & They where not screwed in the cement... So I teetered tottered twice.. & have been at twice at OXY College n Saw Asian kid out of U. Cla hugg a Standard x2 different years... I was sitting watching with old Cal- Tech- Pasadena Coach. I said I bet he huggs The standard again... Sure enough he did ... It's a learned exspierirnce.. Yes it's good to be tall...but tall n No speed... Idk. You need some speed...
back in the 80's I was letting some of the girls on the track team polevault with me. Coach said that there was no way a woman's shoulder could do it. Here we are in current year and the olympic women are competing at a higher level than most high school mens athletes. So many memories, thanks Gracie for showing how much fun it is, and you looked EXACTLY like how my friends in the 80's did as I was teaching them. Guys would get frustrated and swear, the girls would launch and giggle... my best 'student' cleared 8'6" at practice... you are up there with them.. For the record, I was only clearing 14', no where near what your friend Tate could do.. just to add a couple layers of fear. Those poles EXPLODE when they break sometimes, and when you run up on a training pole and forget to jump, you can end up holding one end of the pole and standing on the other in the box. That is a moment of problem solving I don't wish on anyone.. (I jumped back up the runway and landed on the grass next to the track)
Yeah, there are very very few sports out there where it is physically beyond the strength limits of a female athlete. The technique is what counts for most. Gymnastics is one of those where the athletes tend to specialize in certain events and not others, because it plays to their strengths.
I used to pole vault and theres so much to think about when vaulting but props to Tate for keeping casual, light and fun without getting too technical. Also props to Gracie for giving it a try! For a one day crash course that was really good! Hope to see more and make Griff try it too! Who needs a fire ladder when you can vault into a building 😂
everything always is when we’re watching the athleticism of literal athletes lol. us regular sedentary folks see the most difficult shit & think “nah i could do that” we can’t.
Sonia Malavisi blew both knees out doing a floor routine years back. You can see her now in pole vaulting. Incredible transition between the two disciplines. A favorite for sure.
Ok, I loved watching that. I am new at track and field, and despite pole vault NOT being part of a heptathlon, I tried pole vault for the very first time yesterday evening. So much fun. Awesome. When I made a few good jumps, I was like "What did I do now?" and "IHold the pole even higher??" - I had only six steps on the run up. But they made me carry the pole at my hip right from the start, just like the pros - but I think the way you did was probably better. I managed half the height of what you did (btw, AWESOME you!) but then I am almost double your age and not a gymnast. I totally love the pole vault - felt like a kid again 🤩
I coached high school beginners and this young lady did great. Also, I agree with the coach not correcting the wrong way she was carrying the pole. Too much to think about on day one.
Back in University in Trondheim I was mostly doing rock climbing but I joined the gymnastics team to get relevant training in wintertime (no indoor rock gyms in 1980!). Every year the track&field group organized an open decathlon (we had ~150 participants!), I took part twice so those are the only times I have ever done the pole vault. The first year I passed 3.00m (i.e. 10') but failed on the next height (3.30), the year after I finagled slightly different steps so I got to try (and clear) 3.10. The pole vault is _very_ difficult, it probably didn't help that we had to jump using a completely stiff metal pole with zero bounce in it, lots of people failed to clear the same height they had just done in the high jump. 😞 All that said, it definitely helps to have lots of upper body strength as well as good proprioception, but to really succeed you also need world class speed.
Damn, 150 participants. That must have been so much fun (with a decent timetable). And good recruiting for the Trondheim athletics club. 3.10m is good with a stiff pole for an outsider.
@@MrMezmerized The way it worked was that everyone started each day with running, then 3 tech events rotated groups of 50, before the final run for all. The final 1500 was really nice, it allowed me to loosen up a lot of sore muscles!
That was fun to watch. And I wish we had youths that learned a quarter as fast at my local track club. I do coach two combined eventers age 16 and 18 with PBs of 4,15m (13.6 ft) and the youngster has real potential for it, but the rest...
Can't believe it took me 3 weeks to find this video. It's hard to believe I was in the presence of a youtube star like Griff. Super fun seeing you enjoy the sport. - the other griffin
As an aside, as a track fan, I’ve noticed that for some reason most of the top women pole vaulters are gorgeous. It’s crazy how it’s by far the best looking event while being so difficult too.
You should probably try a colab series with Capt. Emily of the @GaleForceTwins :) it can devolve from gymnastics and pole-vaulting into fishing and boating, and all sorts of other fun hi-energy activities...
@@LordBigSlimeso if you think of it as a motion versus position, toes flexed is pulling them up closer toward the front of your leg(shin) and toes extended(“pointed”) is pushing them away from your leg or toward the ground. Which is the one dancers and gymnasts are used to. Also known as dorsiflexion and plantar-flexion, plantar-flexion is the toes pointed and extended or “planted” into the ground and dorsiflexion is the opposite motion.
Pole vaulting looks like the most daunting of all the Olympic events. The most notable ones being things lole running, jumping, throwing things. You could drop me in any event, and I'd have a rudimentary understanding of how to achieve the goal. Pole vaulting is not one of them.
One question. Love the girl going thru all this. How is the guy behind camera giving her advise with no clue as what it takes to achieve what she does?
Gracie! Being that you like trying new things and that you've made 2 videos already I feel like if you got someone to actually train in pro wrestling I feel like you would enjoy learning the world of wrestling
How would someone get involved in pole vaulting? I'm from rural NC, I grew up with race cars, football, baseball and basketball. The weirdest sport we had isn't even legal, let alone in the Olympics.
There are pole vaulting clubs all across the country. Usually kids try it at their school first and if they're more interested they join a year round club to get competitive. There are a few in NC.
High school track and field, and it usually has to be a bigger school since its a niche sport with a lot of liability. Smaller schools won't build the pit. My friend vaulted in high school, then Div I, and coached HS later.
Hi Gracie! Pole vaulting might take more than a day to master... I think... but considering your interest in trying new sports and skill set, ever thought about springboard diving? 😉😉🤩💦🐬
the gymnastics to pole vault arc is so real im invested in this
Sooo many pole vaulters are ex gymnasts... Usually the problem is that gymnastics is a short person's sport.

I love how the little girl is intently watching you from the bench. She'll probably be a world champion pole vaulter by 2040.
awww that’s so cute i didn’t even notice
Right you are Gracie Kramer.
You guys should try the style clash aka the faithbreaker
I can try.

he was an awesome coach!!!
omg that would be awesome to see Griff try!!
The GOAT of women’s pole vaulting, Yelena Isenbayeva, started out as a gymnast, and included giants on the high bar in her training!❤️❤️
It’s so much harder than it looks!
everything always is when we’re watching the athleticism of literal athletes lol. us regular sedentary folks see the most difficult shit & think “nah i could do that” we can’t.
Does it look easy?
Sonia Malavisi blew both knees out doing a floor routine years back. You can see her now in pole vaulting. Incredible transition between the two disciplines. A favorite for sure.
You did really well! I coach the sport and gymnasts are almost always good right out of the gate.
Respect...that was fun to watch, well deserved smiles.🙏
“ I will not think that “ 😂😂😂
That was sooooo cool! Let’s go!!!!
One of the most complex sport bodycontrollwise. A former friend did it and he was a real good gymnast too.
I just smiled the entire time. Amazing
I’ve been a gymnast my whole life and started pole vault in sixth grade. I love it, it’s so fun doing both.
Gracie Kramer you nailed it!
You CRUSHED IT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THX 🤍
You are so quite welcome Gracie Kramer.
I remember rewatching over and over you 10.0 on floor! Love you!!❤❤❤

thank you!!
You're quite welcome Gracie Kramer.
Would love to give the Vault a try.
Especially over a river

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Your channel is simply fun.
The jump at 7:33 was really good. Def "legit."

Practice makes perfect 😉
I love it ❤
Petition to get Griff doing these challenges as well 😂😂😂
Awesome job
Tate Curran ❤😊
this is cool af
POLE VAULTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this video
You need to revisit this because honestly you could be legit good
❤the sunnies …
As a pole vaulter who's a "self taught gymnast" I feel like this video was made specifically for me😂
i was looking at Gracie white chucks and saying to myself there no way they will be pristine after this ....:D

I love this girl. From Russia with love, Gracie. You're perfect
well done you are great with a pole
This sport is nuts’
Coming from a gymnast😂
I literally practice there
Beautiful!
Sei formidabile complimenti
You remind me of Ash Watson... you're good at everything!
aw thanks! love Ash

What does doing everything "toe flexed" mean?
that means the opposite position of the toes that the gym girls have
flexed foot
@@graciekramer14Sorry, I'm a paraplegic so I'm kinda dumb with legs/feet stuff. What exactly does that mean, if you don't mind explaining?
