Episode 10: Why, Oh Why Are Weave Poles So Stinkin' Hard? **Weave poles, the hardest, yet most thrilling obstacle to watch, and for me, to teach. When you hear the roar of the crowd, it is often because of some amazing feat with the weave poles. For the general public, by far, the most hair raising. For the competitor, it is the HARD entrance they have trained for, over and over and over again. Weave poles are a given, they are a trained skill, in soooo many ways.At minute 17:55, Reason #7, the brain is thinking faster than the feet will allow, I talk about a head bob.
