Reno or Bell Athletics?

Unread postby sdvaulter06 » Mon Jun 20, 2005 6:08 pm

Ok, I've been asking questions on Reno and Bell Athletics and I was wondering what your opinions are! I would really like to go to both, but I am afraid that I am only going to be able to go to one. What is your input on which I should chose? All feedback will be appreciated! Thanks! Lance

You'll have more FUN in Reno. You'll get a lot more productive vaulting in at a Bell Athletics camp.

Each is a unique experience, I would try and wash some cars or do whatever to raise enough money to be able to go to both.

Thanks for the Input! I work 40 hours a week at minimum wage :( ($5.15/hour) Any other idea's on how to make some money on the side? Lance

I've been wondering if you bring your own poles to Reno or what? They can't possibly have enough poles for everyone there can they? If you are flying there, How much does it cost to take poles in the plane? Thanks! Lance!

PS Reno is 1300 miles from my house and Bell Athletics is 1200 miles

well. Move to Washington, find a job and work minumum wage here. Its like 7.25/hr or something. Or maybe, look for some sweet family hook-ups for flights and places to stay.
Just you wait...

$7.25/hr sounds great, but with an increase in minimum wage goes an increase in standard of living! I bet everything is higher priced in Washington than in South Dakota! Except maybe Gas lol! USE ETHENOL :) Lance

I was able to successfully borrow poles last year when I went to Reno, and I thought the poles that I borrowed were very nice and new. I would recommend using the system in place since bringing poles can be a hassle and potentially very expensive if they break in transit. However, there is a slight chance the exact pole you want won't be available, so once the competitions start you might want to check on the poles you're hoping to borrow and make adjustments as needed.

People actually have jobs that only pay minimum wage? Around here no one would work if that's all they got. :confused:

Yes, When you are a High School student and want a 40 hour a week job and live in a town of 500 people, YOU CAN'T BE THAT PICKY! You guys don't know what living in a small town/state (population wise) means. lance
PM me if you know of any vaults around the Midwest!

I know all about it! My town is right around 500 also...even though the sign says population 367.

Minimum wage varies from state to state, city to city. I think in Santa Barbara its somewhere around $7.45.
