I jumped at his (Kris') new indoor place last Friday. WOW!! Lots of space. It's got a throwing ring, long jump set up, weights, bunks, etc. He's got the old UT runway and it's pretty dang fast and solid. Doors on each end like Earl's too. See you there! Kick butt until then!! Bubba I didn't know yo...

We've experimented with duct tape and even taping strips of aluminum from coke cans on the tips ...
powerplant42: Like Rainbowgirl said, you are just guessing on some things, and not just regaurding Tye. Until you have seen the effects/benefits of this model or actually done it yourself, you really have no basis to go on. You are just assuming. The bottom line is, what works for one person may not...
I'm going on Medical Scholarship which means I lose my eligibility :(. I've had the same foot problems for over 3 years (redshirted twice). I plan on vaulting again on my own time if it ever heals up, but I just couldn't give my coaches a definite yes or no about next season, so this seemed like the...
