I like it because it is a part of pole vault that people who don't vault will not know about...

Becca,

I watched these videos the other day without any problem. Now You Tube says they are private and you must "accept the sender's friend request". Also, I don't know if this has any relationship to the problem, the video links that are displayed when I go to the above links, look like some at least are "adult" entertainment.

If anyone knows how to get around this issue, post it here. I sent these links out to all my HS kids.

I suspect it might be a problem on YouTube's end, but I am not sure. I tried to send the user a message and got an error message from YouTube.

Here is the link to the user's YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/lriglegna

I obviously can't do anything about inappropriate content showing up on YouTube's site.

Okay, so I thought this video was pretty kick a** while I was watching it for the first time....AND THEN I saw a clip of myself jumping in it. So now it kicks a** on a whole new level. Hahaha! Totally made my day.
