Vaulting Progressions

[~jj~]

Yo! How is everyone in j-boro?
How old were you when you started to PV?
Where kind of having a discussion regarding when is a good tome to start vaulting. Perhaps you could ask the j-boro guys to send us notes regarding how old they were when the started and how high thery jumped in HS and college. Kind of a progression.
Tell Earl, me and AC still want to take him surfing.

I don't think EB can surf, if you are from Arkansas the Ocean is off limits. I belive that is state law.

Here are my #'s

Thats ok, Were kind of having a shark problem out here this summer (no stuff!). Clay and his buddies got chased out of the water last night, after the harbor patrol told them a fisherman had chased one in his boat, for approximalty a half mile, about 10 min earlier, near one of the most surfed spots on the central coast. As you may remember we had a ocean swimmer attacked and killed about a month ago and several sightings since!!!!
Thanks for the pr updates.
Are you working at Earl's, or else where?
Say hi to EB.

With all that rain up in Seattle- she must have improved a bunch when she went southeast.

Come on Rainbow! Where's your progression?
I never saw any Rainbows in Seattle or Portland, all the times I been up there! But it sure makes the roses grow.
Thanks, for your progression BC. (Es-sex)

Mine suck, that's why I didn't post them

The Seattle rain does make me tougher! People down here don't like to jump in the rain. They are scared of this thing called lightning. We don't have that in the NW

11th grade - 6'6" outdoor, 7'6" summer
12th grade - 8'2" indoor, 9'9" outdoor, 10'6" summer
Freshman year of college I got cut from the team. I didn't vault that whole year and forgot how to vault by the time I got home for the summer. Got back up to 10'3".
Sophomore year of college I trained at a high school in FL and jumped 9'10" indoors, 11' that summer.
Last year I transferred to UGA and the SEC made me redshirt I was also injured in the fall (but that did give me the chance to establish left handed PR of 7'6") and jumped 10'6" about 50 times between the year and the summer. The good news is I can now jump as high from 3 lefts as I can from my full run

This year is going really well so far and I am kicking butt in practice. We'll see what happens!

Rainbow...You have a great coach. He will work the heck out of you, but your from Seattle, and you must be tough as nails. My sister lives in Seattle, and her daughter vaultes. I'm gonna send you a photo, and we'll play name the Seattle area mountian peak later in the week...KO? Perhaps we could even post it on the site, and have the entire country play. I hiked up this mountian last summer and I thought I was gonna die.

Adam....
Just wait hoss! There is some huge PV news about to hit in Illinois. Its never gonna be the same again (no stuff). Don't ask, its a top secret project ive been working on, but the s*** is gonna hit the fan and its gonna get all over the place.

In fact we should have a contest.....
"guess the the big news"

Progressive improvement is the key!!!! But it it is important to note that as you improve the rate of improvement slows down. Improvement is fun! It keeps ya going.
Where is everyone's progression?
Neovaulter! Where is ya?
