Bubka's Plant
Dedicated followers, this is a quicktime video of Bubka, and it can be moved frame by frame. Start at the very first frame, and use your right keyboard arrow key to move 49 clicks into this video. Notice Bubka’s left arm! His elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle. This has allowed his Center of Mass to move into the pit. Bubka used the biggest and the longest pole. Why? Because he had an awesome plant, and because he used the energy of the straight trail leg swing (more to come on this).
