I have the vault on TIVO. I have watched it a number of times. I think that vault would have come very close to clearing 6 meters!
That vault was sick!

I think every time I have seen him attempt 19' (which has been a solid number of times) he has come down on the bar.

Well, hip hieght isnt everything. You need room around the bar everywhere. If you notice, he doesnt have much room on the way up. his feet or legs would hit it every time. Once he fixes that...
Just you wait...

For a while it was available at http://www.goducks.com, but it is not in that same place now. Does anyone know if they have an archive that would have the video?
