You'll probably never be a world-class pole vaulter. If fact, you may well never want to try one of track and field's most extreme disciplines.
But, thanks to GoPro and former Cal pole vaulter Allison Stokke, you can get a dizzying sense of what it feels like.

The 80-second video embedded above shows Stokke performing a pole vault from multiple angles. The best snippet, though, comes at the 45-second mark, when a camera atop Stokke's head shows what she really sees. Pulled back to slow motion, it's actually quite majestic.
Watch. Enjoy. Try not to get too dizzy.
