Achtung, Stabohochsprung!

Unread postby vaultguru6 » Thu Feb 20, 2003 5:35 pm

Anyone know what happened to that site Achtung Stabhochsprung!? It was a great site with awesome photos on tons of world class guys and girls. I don't know if the site just went down or the domain name changed. I'm pretty sure it used to be www.achtungbaby.com. If its still around and anyone knows about it let me know. Thanks.

there is a site www.stabhochsprung.com that has lots of excellent vault videos if thats what you mean. Even if not, it's a great site so check it out
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

That, my friend, is a sad sad story of a man so hopelessly domesticated that there is no chance of return. Ironically, the former webmaster of Achtung Stabhochsprung is a member of this website and remains an avid spectator and analyst of the sport. At least we still have the memories of what was once the greatest pole vault site on the net... sigh...

Devereaux, please bring back achtungbaby. I find myself still cliking that address to see if your missus has let you play again. You are depriving the vault community of your warped sense of humor, how selfish.

I got lazy. The webpage grew to over 900 pages of HTML. It just became too much of a bear to maintain...

If I ever get around to revamping the page into a database driven version, it will return. I may work on that this summer.

It's your charming personality Wilson ;) You need to act more like Devereaux and act like you don't give a damn and chicks will flock to you :yes:
