Pole Vaulting

For the ultimate in pole vaulting equipment, you can turn to Swing Up Invert. Their device offers safety, affordability and success. Bill Ford invented the Rick Attig SI device with safety as the primary concern. It offers a key safety feature in the machine's ground-level replication of a difficult and potentially dangerous phase of the pole vault, the Aerial Phase. A perfect runway is required to even attempt proper swing up, inversion, and launch. Mistakes in pole vaulting are costly. Replicating the movements too quickly or incorrectly can put vaulters at risk for serious injury. The SI Device allows for multiple repetitions of the needed muscle movements at a height that is just above the athlete's clearance of the safety mat.

pole vaulting is safer with the SI Device and it is also versatile. The vaulter can practice the maneuvers required at a lower height. The SI Device's height is easily accessible for spotting by a qualified coach. The specific, hands-on guidance allows the physical manipulation of the vaulter into each positions with precise accuracy. The vaulter is more successful while the chance of injury is decreased and the learning curve for correct and efficient pole vaulting.

The Rick Attig SI Device is a great investment for any pole vaulting program. When a coach on a budget spends money on the device, they are making a purchase for their PV program that will benefit all pole vaulters immediately. Poles are generally the largest expenditures a pole vault coach requisitions. But unless they are fortunate enough to be part of a school district which offers an unlimited budget, poles are ordered infrequently and can fit only the few pole vaulters for whom they were purchased. The SI Device offers a training pole for every vaulter in the pole vaulting program.

Coach Rick Attig is considered by many to be the premier pole vaulting coach in the United States. He started his career at the high school level where vaulters became the "Best Pole Vault Trio in High School History." In the final two years of his five-year stint at the University of Nebraska, he had six NCAA All Americans and one NCAA Champion. While serving as the National Pole Vault Chairman, his vaulters went on the compete well at the post collegiate level by winning four US National Championships, a Pan American Championship, a position on the Olympic Team and one athlete that set an American Record with a vault of 19 feet and 7 inches. Coach Rick Attig is an expert at pole vaulting and his knowledge is behind the construction of the SI Device.
