wierd, have you ever had anyone else count your steps though?

you know what would be cool....is if the last person in the vault made a sandwich, cut it in half, and ate it in the 6 minutes they get to jump! i just think that would be the greatest thing...in fact, i think im goin to try that! wish me luck!

What about left handed people, who vault right handed? i guess i'm just an ambidextrus weirdo that cant spell! haha

I was talking to Jason Hentz from Bellingham high the other day, and we were thinking about how cool it would be to have records for different steps. like from a 4 step i've gotten 15' from a 5 15'6' and from a 7 16' i was just curious to see what other records are!

Not yet, I really havn't chosen a school yet, I'm still trying to figure out financial problems, so far Western is the choice.

how the heck do you grip that big of a pole? you need grimlin hands or something! claws! thats a big pole!

yea, i dont know about bruises on the arm, but once i sliped out of my top hand, and had a purple stripe from my right pec, to my left knee ( and yes that includes between the legs ) i guess you can call it insentive to never let go of your pole!

My little brother, he's my pole caddy

215 lbs, but i believe that an incline banch would be more of a useful lift for vaulting than flat bench. just because of the upward plant motion. But everyone should know that biceps are where its at! i wish i had some

i usually make my "caddy" put his hand on my mark, he moves when i tell him too!

Thats right, I want to know which one of you weighs the most! I am 170 lbs. and I want to know who is the biggest!

All I have to say is that, it is truely sad to know that schools are dropping such an amazing event! I wish everyone got the chance to do what we do!
