nau indoor is an awesome place to vault
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali
Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

casa grande high school has a cool set up too....the pole vault pit is off to the one side of the track, set off with the shot put and discus area.....theres a fence between the vaulting/shot/disc area and the rest of the track, so it's cool, we get like our own crowd there

University of Texas - fast surface, great location always with a big pole vault crowd, mostly good winds, great pit and standards.
Abilene Chrisian University - screaming West Texas tailwinds and a deep box
My backyard - 135' downhill boards on a 22' x 25' Elite pit with extra padding at the standards, and Gill National customized standards, surrounded by Oak and Cedar trees which block most bad winds

Recklinghousen, Germany was the best I have ever jumped on, although I think they use the same runway all around Germany for street meets. I had to start on two bigger poles than I ever used in my life to clear opening height, and I've jumped on all the good ones including the original Reno runway and the original runway at Texas when it was in the Stadium.
In the US, my favorates are Oklahoma indoor and Nebraska.

I think the prettiest place to vault is at my high school, King's High School just north of Seattle. My favorite is probably the Alki Beach Vault. I love the setup at Civic Stadium in Bellingham WA. There are 2 runways with pits at each end, so for the all comers meets we can easily get 3 pits going at the same time
