Again, don't mean to offend everyone, but I would think that the PVEI December drill of the month should be of interest:

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

PVC doesnt snap like fiber glass it just creases like a straw would. I know because I used to make my brother jump on PVC pipes. Thats a neat example of the "hands up"

I bet it would have a snapping effect if it slipped out of the hands of the person holding the bottom of it :eek:

Brad Tyler has video of himself (8th grade I think,) snapping a piece of PVC, landing on his head and getting knocked out. It is pretty funny.
