I love how the little girl is intently watching you from the bench. She'll probably be a world champion pole vaulter by 2040.

[@graciekramer14]

awww that’s so cute i didn’t even notice

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

Right you are Gracie Kramer.

[@juliannewman2029]

You guys should try the style clash aka the faithbreaker

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

I can try.

[@sophiachiaverini8299]

the gymnastics to pole vault arc is so real im invested in this

[@krazed0451]

Sooo many pole vaulters are ex gymnasts... Usually the problem is that gymnastics is a short person's sport.

[@saltyyankee5149]

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)

[@Clean97gti]

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.

[@charliehubbard2533]

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 😂

[@graciekramer14]

he was an awesome coach!!!

[@graciekramer14]

omg that would be awesome to see Griff try!!

[@jamesheuer5139]

The GOAT of women’s pole vaulting, Yelena Isenbayeva, started out as a gymnast, and included giants on the high bar in her training!❤️❤️

[@1DS_Events]

You CRUSHED IT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@graciekramer14]

THX 🤍

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

You are so quite welcome Gracie Kramer.

[@smallberries]

You did really well! I coach the sport and gymnasts are almost always good right out of the gate.

[@Tanner.Olivia]

I’ve been a gymnast my whole life and started pole vault in sixth grade. I love it, it’s so fun doing both.

[@Ameylynn]

“ I will not think that “ 😂😂😂

[@nails3394]

Respect...that was fun to watch, well deserved smiles.🙏

[@steviemac350]

I just smiled the entire time. Amazing

[@edwardkirchmeier9348]

That was sooooo cool! Let’s go!!!!

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

Gracie Kramer you nailed it!

[@phelpsfamily2211]

I remember rewatching over and over you 10.0 on floor! Love you!!❤❤❤

[@8180634]

The bungee bar is fantastic, wish they had those when I was in school!

[@Robjay1795]

One of the most complex sport bodycontrollwise. A former friend did it and he was a real good gymnast too.

[@iangunther]

It’s so much harder than it looks!

[@qt_stacy]

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.

[@drexeldragon1723]

Does it look easy?

[@bdbko]

I love it ❤

[@Thatonepreppy507]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@heavymetalit370]

Love this kid she is a riot

[@adamlambert3892]

Awesome job

[@jimromero1384]

Miss gracie that was so fun to watch thank you

[@graciekramer14]

thank you!!

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

You're quite welcome Gracie Kramer.

[@slamin2095]

I love this video

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

Would love to give the Vault a try. Especially over a river

[@ChiefEarlyBird]

Practice makes perfect 😉

[@TerjeMathisen]

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.

[@MrMezmerized]

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.

[@TerjeMathisen]

@@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!

[@greatestone4eva]

this is cool af

[@rmannayr2129]

POLE VAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamiegower9254]

Beautiful!

[@MrMezmerized]

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...

[@juliannewman2029]

You guys should try the styles clash aka the faithbreaker

[@Gdawg_10]

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

[@jefffawcett]

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.

[@kevincolwell3066]

well done you are great with a pole

[@rmannayr2129]

POLE VAULTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paolopischedda7629]

Sei formidabile complimenti

[@broncobilly4029]

Nice job.

[@antoineparadisproulx]

i was looking at Gracie white chucks and saying to myself there no way they will be pristine after this ....:D

[@Imon_Lusk]

I love this girl. From Russia with love, Gracie. You're perfect

[@gaby_mejia]

You need to revisit this because honestly you could be legit good

[@Thatonepreppy507]

AND IM first 0:42

[@prahlikahatti9726]

I literally practice there

[@amberotermat1978]

As a pole vaulter who's a "self taught gymnast" I feel like this video was made specifically for me😂

[@Boris_printmaker]

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...

[@juliannewman2029]

Or the ddt aka the maryse French kiss

[@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.]

You remind me of Ash Watson... you're good at everything!

[@graciekramer14]

aw thanks! love Ash

[@georgesimmons4923]

In love with gracie

[@imeprezime1285]

Very lovely babe 😊

[@alexfolly3786]

Man sieht selten so fröhliche Menschen!

[@punkskaterpizza]

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

[@LordBigSlime]

What does doing everything "toe flexed" mean?

[@Radler811]

that means the opposite position of the toes that the gym girls have

[@graciekramer14]

flexed foot

[@LordBigSlime]

@@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?

[@vagirl19]

@@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.

[@johnwalker6977]

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.

[@amberotermat1978]

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.

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

They did the track and field at the Olympic Games.

[@iroll]

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.

[@pedrowoolson4273]

And now it's time to watch Tremors

[@paulocoelho558]

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? 😉😉🤩💦🐬

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

O she had 12 no problem,an could take 17 like easy .

[@rodney73991]

let man-her up have shot pot or disks . throw javelin , swing hammer. I never hammer throw.

[@nait11]

you look like iJustine

[@expectationlost]

is there someone chewing gum ?

[@MinikongRJM]

Why her eyes dropping when he says "lock it in girl" like what she looking at xD

[@ryanhills4907]

Are you from Tennessee because your the only Ten I see ❤ 😂😂

[@krazed0451]

You need to do this again, with a better qualified coach...

[@captain_context9991]

This woman can not move 2 feet without looking for confirmation.

[@hotjesta]

You and @CorinneNicewick should do a collaboration with @danielbuyeske
