Does anyone have any advise on polevaulting?

If your school has a gymnastics team, you should be on it. You  will build upper body strength and learn body control.\n\nDevelop a consistant approach run. You should be able to hit your marks every time. Learn how to adjust it for head and tail winds.\n\nIf you get a chance, spend a week at one of the pole vault camps.

Razor wire, proper fencing and support for said razor wire, very heavy gloves (try grease gloves like used in fast food places) or just the heavyist gloves possible, a stapler to attach whatever, or wire or whatever your setting up. And be very god damn careful.

I'm a snowboarding instructor and it is super easy to do.  To start come in regualr and really it is about elbiow position and take off, depends on whether you are going frontside or back side.  If backside try to redistribute your weight so that you take off of your nose, rotate your shoulders, becasuse where your upper body goes so does your lower body, remeber to twist that head around to spot your landing.   If going frontside, lean back a little more, so most of your weight is on your back leg. try to take off on your tail, same time rotation constant rotation of your shoulders.  If you want to spin faster bring your arms and shoulders in toward your body.

definately take lesson.  don't try to be a good skier/boarder if you aren't, you will get hurt.  work your way up, when you feel comfortable you can start and stop and turn to avoid people on the green circles, move up to a blue square.  don't try the peak on your first run!

i also started skiing and switched to snowboarding after like 5 years of ski exp.  I got on the mountain day 1 with my snowboard, went to a green trail, did 2 or 3 runs before I was bombnig down blues and soon single diamonds. I kid you not, it was extremely easy for me to pick up having a ski backround.  Just read up online on how to turn on a snowboard and remember it when ur on the hill.  if you google 'how to turn snowboard' you will find pages.  A snowboard is basically a big ski.  if you have the curve skis then you know how easy it is to turn: you put some weight on your right ski at the big toe and take the weight off the left to turn to the left, more pressure and lean = sharper turn.  as you let off the pressure your skis fall back to straight down the mountain.  just remember the principles of where you place weight to turn and apply it to a snowboard - heel edge to toe edge.  Just be careful to not prematurely shift the weight to one edge while that edge is still downhill.  i.e. you turn to the left on your heel, and then while still facing diagonally on the slope you shift to the toe edge.  You have to let the board return to its natural downhill direction before doing this or you will just catch the edge and fall on your face.  just work it all out in your mind with what you know from skiing like I did and you'll be fine!

Practice.  \n\nYou are likely not clearing the top.  It should be a smooth motion; versus rolling over the ledge.\n\n_

Cool.\n\nUse the FOIL method. First, outside, inside, and last.

I know it is possible to ski down: Davo Karnicar, some Slovenian maniac did it... but good luck getting up there and carrying the board with you... i hope you are in peak condition!\n\n... oh, and, when you do it, be sure to tape, I want to see how many times you make a face plant!

have fun,if someones falls around you help them up and there isnt really a technique.watch around you and avoid the idiots who just wanna start fights.90% of the time they get booted by security.If ya see someone interlock there hands next to you thats your ladder to body surf.its usually all fun.make sure your shoes are tied tight as well.

well hopefully this helps:\n\nif you want to do it moving i suggest to go with the wind. try the first part of the trick lifting one part of the board, with all your weight and balancing then do the following  1.   bend down on your knees( with right foot on about middle of the board, and the other in the tip of the board.), 2.   lean to your left side(if thats the foot you push with, with your left foot) and press the board and once the board is up lean to the other side while sliding your foot the other way so the oppostie side comes up as well\n\n there short and sweet, for you\n\ncome to HELP YOU, first practice it alot of times. make sure you lean tothe other side WHILE you slide your foot.\n\nTip: I would try it in the grass first)\nPS it works, but it will take some practice!

The key is playing the currents and letting the tide take your rig out.  Try a monster pole and at leat 6 OZ of weight rigged in a Carolina-Style setup.

you need alot of starting veleocity to gain altitude and distance.  you need the proper trajectory (probably 45 degs) and strong legs.

Dude man I love to snowboard! And you don't really do an ollie. Since your feet are strapped in you can't really do an ollie. The way you get air is you almost kinda "hop". Or if your going off a slant ramp then you just kinda "glide" off with your knees bent alot. Don't know what else to tell you bra! Aloha!
