Do you go to the CHS in Baton Rouge, LA?

Anyways... I'm 5'8" 158 lbs.

14'-80 spirit = 13'6" handgrip = 15' clearance standards @ 75.

I can't get on my 15's :no: :(

Hope you don't mind me for asking, but how tall were you and how much did you weigh? For your junior and senior years, were those pr's on your 15's? 15'6"s? and about how many lbs. over your weight were those pulls?

thanks :D

I weighed about 135lbs my junior year vaulted 16'6" on a 15' 175 pacer at a shade under 6' tall

my senior year I was about 145lbs 6' and was on an Spirit 4.90m (16') 18.6 (I think that makes it about a 180 I can't remember cause I started calling them by their flexes that year).

hope this is helpfull
