MXC on Spike TV

Unread postby PinkPoleVaulter » Tue Jun 28, 2005 9:30 pm

The funniest pole vaulting I've ever seen ---> Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC) on Spike TV. The contestants have to pole vault across a muddy moat and land on a foam pad floating in the middle. :yes:
They even use a real pole vaulting pole. Looks like a Pacer :D .

To the stronger or faster man.
Sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

It is a Pacer III, I don't know what length or weight it is, but it is quite a stiff pole!

That Wheaties Commercial is on JJ's Sky Systems III video, in the first five minutes of it.

the scene in tremors is when Fred Wolf, Kevin Bacon, and the lead girl are trying to get to the girls truck without making much sound, and vaulting over the gaps by using long wooden sticks to get to the next rock.

I have seen Goofey pole vaulting. I believe Chip and Dale burrowed a hole in the box.
