VAULTING POLE NICKNAMES

[Bruce Caldwell]

Weve got a pole from when brian hunter was here. The damn this is 20 ft long (its a 17footer with an extra 3 feet of handle). we just call it absurd

Uhh, who has a 6 meter oven?

We have 540 meter long ovens that will make a 530 poles LOL corrected to mean 530 meter length poles efficently.

We have a way to add on to the oven to extend the oven by 1' but have not used the method yet.

bruce, did you mean that you have a 540 meter oven that can make a 530 meter pole, or a 540 meter oven that can make 530 poles (each being approx. a meter in length?). im kinda confused.
and how much do these ovens cost? perhaps i should buy one, make some of my own poles.....sell em off for cheap, make my living off it....ya right. haha

one of the girls at our school has a 11' 125 big stick. she put a sticker that says sexy over the stick part so now it is nicknamed the big sexy.

Maybe he used the East Texas redneck method of building poles with Bondo.

Carl Eriksson once had a pole that was broken 4 feet from the top. He patched it up with Bondo and it worked just fine...but it was pretty scary looking.

yeah, what i said but obviously didn't word very well is that it used to be a 17 foot pole that he just stuck another 3 feet on the top for pole runs and such. its freakin soooo hard to run with.

I don't really name my poles. But I call the white caps on the end of my spirit poles my lucky caps.

just curious: what kinda person can vault on a twenty ft. pole, i thought the longest manufactured pole was/is 17 ft. 6 in. leading to my second question, if its not physically possible, why is there three extra feet? can someone actually hold there and run fast enough to vault on it?

Dude, do you even read the entire threads before you post? VTechVaulter already gave us the answer as to why the pole was that long in this post:

It was lengthened to be heavier for pole runs. Nobody could jump on a 20' pole, it's physically impossible.

my apologies, lonestar. indeed i do read entire threads, i must've been tired or out of it when i read that one one because i don't recall reading the end part about why he used the extra three feet. thanks for bringing it to my attention.

No problem man, you don't have to apologize. My bad for coming across negatively. Lots of details in these threads sometimes!

I could see a "Real World" fan nicknaming their pole Bazooka Joe

Or, more likely, a male pole vaulter getting tagged with that nickname
