congrats adam...thats an amazing jump for you!!!
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.

Congrats Man! That's a great feat for a high schooler! Are you a senior or what? It would be interesting to know what pole your using and what brand! Again, Great Job!
PM me if you know of any vaults around the Midwest!
