Hello everyone,

David, I understand that you also have some vid of Kjell Isaksson. Would you be willing to share any of that ... especially any of his WR jumps ? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have just about EVERYTHING. I sent Kjell a compilation of some of his greatest vaults for his 60th birthday a year ago.
I have film of bamboo, steel and fiberglass vaulting from the early 1900's to today. If I don't have it, I know guys in Canada,
Germany, France and Italy that would. Please email me to discuss arrangements..............David stavhop@comcast.net
