Pole Vaulting Quotes

Unread postby blackbird292 » Thu Oct 27, 2005 9:12 pm

Does any one happen to know of any good pole vaulting quotes or quotes from famous vaulters?

I'll altered my pole vaulting safety campaign into a book on vaulting aimed at a basic overview of the sport for novice vaulters, and I am planning on including quotes throughout the book.

Any suggestions?

I would suggest doing a search for "pole vault quotes" ...I seem to remember a few past threads on this. If that doesn't turn anything up...try searching "quotes". I would do it for ya, but I'm kinda busy right now. :o
