myspace videos making fun of pole vaulter

Unread postby spike gibeault » Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:17 pm

i went to log on to the famous myspace.com, they always have four supported videos displayed on their main page for one day, today i saw pole vaulting in one of the titles and of course i checked it out, because how often does our sport get published on world wide sites that have nothing to do with sports, or even track. i was pretty disappointed when i watched it, but it is still an amazing jump none the less at the early millrose games. steel-poling 15'1" is impressive no matter how much you bash it

I wouldn't take it to serious. Vault is supposed to be a fun event. They weren't making fun of it in general, just having a little fun. I'm sure you've heard people joking around at practice or in a meet about farting for a little extra boost down the runway, or even over a bar. These guys just took the joke to the next level.
