Last weekend, when I was in Florida, some friends of our family that live in Gainesville asked me to pick up some poles that my former teammate had left at their house. They have been sitting at the house for about 2 years, and I have not heard from her in about as long.
So I picked them up and took them to Athens. They were Altius 12'4" 115 and 125. I tried the 115 in practice from 3 lefts, and it was AWESOME. I was so excited, I had my new $$$$ pole (from 3 lefts).
I took about 2 jumps on it today at Clemson, and on the 3rd jump it BROKE

I got a bruise on my knee, face (I think from my knee hitting my face

My coach thinks it had a nick in it. It broke cleanly in one spot about 2/5 up from the bottom. I was bending it a decent amount, but it didn't feel like THAT much. Then again I have hardly ever jumped on Altius, so maybe they feel different? I think it was just a nick.
I went on to have a great competition and clear... oh wait nevermind I no heighted and it sucked. But hey... I broke my first pole!
