What pro vaulter do you think your form looks the most like? or wish it looked like?

I think my form looks most like Russ Buller. Mostly my plant and take off and I pull my legs in like he does after my swing.

I don't have much form so i dont think i really look like anyone, but I would like to be like Ruslan Yeremenko cause he is tall and skinny like me.

i like to think i resemble Vigneron a little perhaps more in stature than in vaulting, but our celebrations look very similar

Bill Payne - still haven't gotten his yell down perfectly yet, but similar swing and lineup.

Dude, you really need to grow the mullet and the pieces will REALLY fit! We tried to get Simpson to do it, but he chickened out. As far as the yell is concerned, Watch that video I gave you from Gus and that should get you started!

LoneStar, do the mullet, big mustache, carry a flask of tequilla, be able to drink lots of beer and stay skinny, stare down the biggest dude in the beer joint and make him leave, then learn the yell, and you look just like Wild Bill. Oh, you gotta learn the ULD, the upper lip dip, stuff in a big ole wad of Copennhagen in your upper lip before you jump. Good job in Houston Saturday by the way, Lonestar Pr'ed and should have pr'd again. I think when he learns that Copenhagen trick he goes 5.50

I look like that pole vaulter who has no form and when she messes up, she flails out her legs and usually ends up crashing into the standards and/or falling off the mat. You know which vaulter that is? Oh wait...thats me... :confused:

i'd have to say that i take a lil bit of huffman's style. drop the leg a little bit, put the drive knee over my head and use that to turn...... not pretty at all.
