World's First (?) Light-up Vault Spikes!!

Unread postby theczar » Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:19 pm

A few vaulters and I had an awesome idea after watching a kid at a track meet run around wearing those flashy light up shoes. We wanted to put them in a pair of spikes. So, I bought a pair of those kids shoes at the goodwill store, tore them apart, and put them in an old pair of pole vault spikes!

Hopefully I will get a video of me jumping in them up soon...
