Hands are shaking but I know they won't fail. Stepping up the the line - my sixty mark. This is nothing like running on a trail. Different from hitting out of the park.
The run-up looks easy but it's quite hard. Counting steps to correctly plant the pole. To pull myself up, my arms must be barred. My body must have the strength of a troll.
Powerful kick to get to inversion. The sensation of being upside down is nasty and takes complete conversion. I fly up and over the bar and town.
And the difference between me and you: my parents are proud of the high I do.
