Board Runways in Texas/Houston Area?

Unread postby AP » Sun Dec 03, 2006 1:42 pm

Hey all,

Looking for two things in regards to board runways:

(1) Competitions near Houston, TX with board runways

(2) Who has a portable board runway in TX? At least 120 ft.

Anyone? What's the nearest?

I have 2 board runways in my backyard. The main runway has 132' of wide open vaulting room and 147' of room for just running (trees near the back prohibit pole carry). The second runway is about 85' but depending on your style pole carry (extremely across the body or high) may not be suitable for much beyond 6 steps (that's steps, not lefts) because of trees.
