    Looks like LDub has helped some people with this problem before.

    Yeah I owe you some Pole Vault lessons. Let me know, that seems like your style, you know running balls to the wall and then planting and you know that whole going upside thing..... LOL

    That is exactly what I was thinking..... LOL, pole vault is one of the more rewarding events though there is just something about flying 17-18' in the air by using only your own momentum. But when it goes wrong it goes wrong, much like... uh um.. cough.. rolling over.. cough.. excuse me. But yeah I am not one to talk, I planted wrong (took off way too far out) in Germany last year at a meet and hyperextended my knee and broke my foot, but I didn't know it at the time, I thought it was just sprained, so I kept on competing and finished the dec, the next day however my foot looked like a club..... ah hears to dangerous exciting adventures

    The rush on the way up and on the way down, when it is done correctly of course.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence...I've got a pretty good idea that I wouldn't have gotten that far off the ground...but hurt myself as bad or worse(r).

    YIKES ! ! !.......that looks awfully painful.

    Thanks just the same Ryan, but after seeing that, I think I'll just sit over here & do those curl things that Mr. Rowhard was a talkin' about earlier.

    YOW...
