HC, put away the hurdles, and get on over to the vault pit!

You want tips and info about PV, you've come to the right place!

This forum is chock full of advice for beginner vaulters.

Just start browsing, and if you find an interesting topic, soak it up!

Once you pick up on the lingo, you can use key words in the Search box (top right corner of this window) to find more information in other threads that use the same key words.

If you can't find a specific answer to any of your questions by surfing (unlikely), then just ask away, and someone will be glad to help you.

One standing rule tho, is that if you ask a question that could have been easily answered by taking a few minutes to Search for the answer, then you won't likely get a warm reply. Prove that you've already Searched for an answer - but can't find it - and you'll get specific answers to your detailed questions.

For example, if you're wondering how to carry the pole, don't start a new thread entitled "How should I carry the pole?". Instead, type the words "pole carry" into the Search box, and research the topic. If you can't find the info you're wondering about re "pole carry", THEN - and only THEN - post a question. But even then, it's probably best to simply reply to a "pole carry" thread, rather than creating your own thread.

Have fun pole vaulting, and welcome to PVP! Try it, you'll like it!
