thats me, ive put heat on 16'9 in a meet (atleast 6inches) but i dont think ive ever cleared higher than a 16ft bungee in practice, i can always get on way bigger poles in meets as well!

i think mecham said it...it's the adrenaline of the meet,
whatever it is, as long as it keeps me going and i keep
going higher in meets, i'm not that worried about it. its
better to work on mechanics in practice anyway
