		The maximum strain energy of the pole is ms2/2rE, where s is the maximum or "failure" stress on the outside of the pole, r is its density and E is its Young's modulus (i.e.
		He demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that, during a jump, the greatest bending moments and hence the greatest stresses are at the middle of a pole, while the lowest stresses are at the ends.
		Also, the bending moment and hence the failure stress increases with the stiffness of the pole for a given section of the pole and radius of bend.

	USPC - Bending Games Tips
		Bending pole 3 must be placed on Line B. Spread two bending poles on either side of pole 3.
		Riders must replace poles if they are knocked over and must rebend the pole that was knocked over in the proper bending direction.
		Each rider should start bending the poles on the side of the pole that is best for him and his pony.

	Pole bending
		Pole Bending is an amateur rodeo event that features a horse and one mounted cowgirl, running a weaving or serpentine path around six poles arranged in a line.
		The cowgirl and horse will make a serpentine path through the poles, that is passing on alternating hands and leads through the poles.
		When the last pole is reached, they horse and rider continue in a mirror pattern through the poles back to the first one.

	Regional Qualifying Show Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The National Pole Bending Association is accepting applications from individuals or associations to sponsor regional qualifying shows in the United States for the June 1, 2006 - April 15, 2007 qualifying period.
		Poles and pole bases must be on the NPBA approved list.
		A regional qualifying show may include a senior 3D pole bending (rider 50 and over) and a junior horse 3D pole bending (5 and under) which can be NPBA approved.

	Welcome to Pole Vault Education.org
		As each pole bends, the energy and stress is distributed through the pole as engineered to withstand such stress.
		In this case the pole can not be recognized with a test weight for a 12'7" or even 12' pole since it was not made from a pattern or design intended for such a pole.
		The problem is bending the pole with the lower arm and not with the swing and if the vaulter/coach does not distinguish between the two, progress will be limited.

	Welcome to Pole Vault Education.org
		I'm a high school pole vaulter and the pole with the lowest weight we have is for 120lbs., however, I weigh 100lbs.
		Further, "training poles" are not permitted and each allowable pole must be properly marked and labeled with a one inch band showing the test weight (eg 110 lbs, 120lbs, etc.).
		The training associated with pole vaulting subjects both the take-off and non take-off foot to a lot of stresses and potential overuse injuries.

		For example, if your athlete can grip the pole and successfully vault from 5 lefts at 10'6" and he weights 130 pounds then the proper starting pole would be a 12'6" 130 or 135, or perhaps a 12' 135, or 140.
		Since the relationship between pole length and pole and stiffness are inter-related at the basic rate of 6" in pole length equals approximately ten pounds in pole stiffness, both these suggested poles would be acceptable.
		Please note that part of the process of learning to bend is a result of having the proper pole, and part of it is the process of having the proper technique.

	Pole Vaulting
		Pole vaulting is a step by step process that must be learned correctly from the beginning.
		Let me say now that I have seen a million hours of pole vaulting and no two vaulters jump the same, so remember that when you are watching film of world class vaulters, they may or may not look like the athlete you are coaching.
		The objective is to bend the pole past 90 degrees (top of pole must be at least horizontal with the runway with both hands at least level with the runway while you are still on the ground.) The longer the pole the easier this becomes so don’t expect this too soon especially with short poles.

	Pole Bending Clinics with Ken Smith
		Pole bending is by far the most complex and challenging of the speed events, with ten lead changes and three turns, each separated by only a heartbeat of time.
		It includes the anatomy of a turn (the Sandberg method), preparing the horse for the turn (the most neglected part of pole bending), rider position for the turn, applying basic horsemanship, properly finishing the turn, the importance of the "look with your body", and avoiding being "behind" the horse.
		Pole bending is very detailed and I kept wondering how you could 'properly' teach it to the kids.

		Besides the SPBA 3D pole bending futurity held each October, there are a number of other pole bending futurities in the West.
		The Speedhorse Pole Bending Futurity is a “barrel- type” futurity with restriction on entries to five year olds and restrictions on the horse competing prior to its fifth year.
		There will $1,000 added to the pole bending futurity and the purse will be paid out on the two goes and on the average, as OQHA has done for their roping futurities (see www.oregon-qha.com for the payout information for the 2005 roping futurities).

	Pole Bending Bases
		There are several associations that have published specific rules regarding the poles and bases which are to be used in their approved events.
		Here is the complete description of a pole from the AQHA Rule Book: "Poles shall be set on top of the ground, six feet (1.8 meters) in height, With no base more than 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter." Note that the pole diameter and the weight of the base is not specified.
		If your poles are going to be used outdoors and if you live in an area where you consistently have to ride in a lot of strong wind, then the heavier bases may be a better choice for you.

	BEGINNING POLE VAULTING PROGRESSIONS AND FORMULAS
		For example, if your athlete can grip the pole and successfully vault from 5 lefts at 10'6" and he weighs 130 pounds, then the proper starting pole would be a 12'6" 130 or 135, or perhaps a 12' 135 or 140.
		Please note that part of the process of learning to bend the pole is a result of having the proper pole, as well as having the proper technique.
		I base this upon the fact that the resistance to pole bending will be approximately the same on a 20-pound larger pole with a one- foot higher grip.
