Brent Burns
"Brent was a three-time finalist at the United States Olympic Trials ('92, '96, and '00) and retired from active competition in 2000 following a sixth place finish at the Trials."
1+1+1/28 + 4 = still havent figured this one out
(2*3-1)/1 - 30 = 5.70m
92= the year he all americaned (at 5.70m)

Everyone will know by the end of April. He does have plans to compete in one or two high profile college/open meets next month...unless of course he gets injured...then he may just fade into obscurity without anyone ever knowing his identity...ha ha... ![Tongue :P](./images/smilies/tongue.gif)

Scroll down and read the part "Olympic Athlete" or here it is if don't want to bother
Olympic Athlete
Patient BB is an outstanding world-class pole vaulter, participating in several Olympics. But while walking in his house and cleaning his ear with a cotton swab, he bumped his arm and caused serve damage to his tympanum, middle and inner ear. He experienced severe balance disorders, including vertical oscillopsia. He sought treatment at several centers, but conventional vestibular testing showed normal results. When he then entered the USC Center for Balance Disorders, he described his experience during pole vaulting as follows. "When I run rapidly on the approach toward the bar, I see the vault box bouncing so much that I can’t plant the pole and vault over the bar. So I can no longer practice pole-vaulting for the next Olympics."
BB’s VAT results are shown in the baseline test in the left graphs shown at http://www.4wsr.com/rhab.htm. His horizontal gains and phases were within normal ranges, but his vertical gains and phases were below normal (2). For example, his vertical gains were about 0.6 at his stride frequencies of 2-4 Hz, and his vertical phases were progressively lower with frequency. Both of these conditions were responsible for his vertical oscillopsia.
BB entered the vestibular rehabilitation program at the USC Center for Balance Disorders, showing remarkable objective improvement in his VAT results after 7 weeks. His post-treatment VAT is shown in the right graphs at http://www.4wsr.com/rhab.htm. His vertical gains were within normal ranges. His vertical phase had markedly improved toward normal except for the highest 2 points. His horizontal gains and phases had also improved toward high normal values. However, he remained in the rehabilitation program because his preparation for the Olympic Games within the next year required that he be "super normal." After 22 weeks, his vertical gains and phases were both toward the top of the normal ranges, indicating that his VOR responded in a nearly ideal manner (2).
Outcomes measures are usually subjective in vestibular rehabilitation, but for patient BB, the results were both objective and quantitative. He successfully competed in the 2000 Olympics, and tied for 4th place in the final US Olympics Trials with a vault of 18 feet 41/4 inches. As a public figure, patient BB gave us permission to use his name – Brent Burns, because he expects to be in future Olympic games. Video clips of his final 2 jumps at the 2000 Olympics can be viewed at

One said: "If you can vault at the SerVass Center in Indy, you can do ANYTHING!" and another wrote: "Nothing like the old days a Lambert!" For those who don't know, Lambert Field is Purdue's stadium. I say Livin The Dream 2008 is Randy Miller, 4 time? All-American at Purdue, all of them in the late '90's. PR is 5.61m? The best clues of them all so far.
doug sharp also from prudue 18'-5" pr
I think everyone has to appreciate what Livin The Dream 2008 is attempting to pull off here. He already is more successful than Bubka was in his comeback attempt a few years ago. Of course, Bubka was a lot older then, which made his comeback seem pretty impossible (but after all he is Bubka). I think that is part of what makes this Board so fun and successful is that everyone has bought into The Dream. It just goes to show you, that its never too late to try again. Who knows the second time around, you might even be more successful. Live the Dream!

How are you getting 5.70m from (2*3-1)/1-30? Maybe I'm just completely retarded but I'm not seeing it! I have another theory on these equations though.......
(2*3-1)=5
1m - 30cm = 70cm
