Francis wrote on Instagram: "This week in Cali(fornia) has really transformed my thinking about the vault and life for that matter! I went into the meet today with a few cues I've picked up while I've been here with (the) whole agenda of trying them out in a meet. I opened up at 5.35m (17'6") and had the best feeling jump I've ever had! 

"Felt effortless on a somewhat small pole! Plus nothing hurt which is always a plus! At 5.50m (18'1") I got some swirly head winds that were messing with my run but overcame it on my third attempt and put a good look at 5.50! I've never been a good headwind guy, but for the first time it didn't really bother me. I'm more jacked at the window of potential that's been opened thanks to Bubba Sparks, Brian Yokoyama, and Giovanni Lanaro." 

"The progress is unreal for the short time I've been playing with these cues. With more time and practice the sky's the limit! Outdoors is officially opened and big jumps are on their way!  P.S. thanks to everyone who came out and said hi! I loved chatting with you. I saw a few hoot shirts out there too! You guys were the best looking people in the crowd by far."
