i hope she gets better...she has too much talent to be sidelined...

get well soon.

congrats man...

i'm trying soooo hard to get inverted. i can't wait until i actually get it, i want to qualify for districts....

jumped 10 feet at a meet. i only jump good at meets, i blow at practice lol. i knock the bar off at 6-7 feet lol. i call it LHD...Low Height Disease. i been vaulting for about 5 weeks and i still can't get inverted, it's really pissing me off. i'm clearing bars with my feet on top like i'm standing ...

that looks like 8, lol. it's the rubber band and you raped the hell out of it. landed far to the right too, lol. i don't have the right to say anything though... today i video taped me and some of the other pole vaulters. i look pretty bad going over. i get way over the pole at 9, but i have NO top ...

i'm gonna give it a try and see how much it helps me.

anyone know where i can get some? some with the nice quotes on them.

i just started bending the pole. i'm on a 12' 6" pole. I moved my hand hold up today to about 10'. i'm not afraid of the bend like i thought i would, it feels pretty good getting it. i get good pop up, but my top form over the bar isn't that good. i can't get inverted, and rotate my body for the pik...

9 feet so far, that's my pr.

i'm sure i'll be getting 11 pretty soon though.

gotta work for it.
