In my grandparent's photos, I have several of them doing these pole plant moves like this:

Does that have a name? How do you even do that? Unless there is a lip I don't see they are getting air off it looks like they are just vaulting themselves on their poles.

Very cool! Thanks, I found those pics and couldn't figure out wth that was!

How does one actually execute that, and is it even possible on today's gear?
