Butt Plug

Unread postby baggettpv » Sun May 02, 2004 4:36 am

I have a black cat we named "Butt Plug" and a grey one named "Carbon". I think ya'all need to focus on running 10.80 in the 100 and be able to do repeat Free-hip-handstands on the high bar.....

The mechanical drawing is available upon request to my email direct, it requires a free down load of a special animated software.

I will get two more tips made today and take a pic of them and place them on a web site for all to see.

Right now prototypes are expensive like over $25.00 each. As there is only one mold cavity.

We are still testing it and will release a launch date soon.

Well if you ever think about marketing it as a chew toy, i think i have the perfect dog to test its durability. I got a horse in my garage that my dad thinks is a dog.

seems to me like kind of a dumb idea. why not make the box deeper, or make all runways downhill. then they could be on bigger poles too. People are always looking for easy gains. Work your @ss off on the track and the weightroom and you will see much more gains that a cheater plug. just my opinion though.

I see your point however, the rules do not allow a deeper box or down hill runways.
No rule against an enhanced pole tip to aid you in the potential to jump higher.
There are those times when the box in reality is too shallow, there are those times when the pole you want to get on it is to stiff by.2, and sometimes you need to hold 2 inches higher SO a device such as a pole tip that creates a greater angle in the box would be handy. Yes working harder is the trick and Scott working harder and using the new tip is also the trick.
I love the PV, it is in my DNA
