Do you think that hockey had these exact same discussion when helmets were beginning to be used in their sport? Of course they were. First off these changes are not going to happen over night. Helmet wearers get out there and stand tall. I would hope that non helmet wearers would have enough common ...

Well if you remember he was pretty close to making it over that volleyball net. If he wouldn't slide his hands I think he's capable of 9' stiff poling

I know that I should really keep my mouth shut here but I really can't. That previous post makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine. First off the analogy of wearing a rain coat in the shower has absolutle no possible parallel to pole vaulting with a helmet. It just goes to show tha...

There aren't any foreign athletes because this is the national pole vault summit. As in our nations summit. It would be wrong to go to russias pole vault summit and compete for america. Thats almost like going to another nations nationals.

My freshmen year in high school I broke my arm because I was vaulting on a pole that was larger than I should have been on. My coach was a great...

Good things to say: 1)Its my boa constrictor, it has a back condition and I have to fly it to the vet. 2)Its an experimental lighting rod.....I sure hope there isn't a storm where we are flying to. 3)Yup, its a hang glider. 4)To be honest with you I don't know. Some guy just asked me to hold it. 5)I...

I vaulted in those spikes for the last two years because that is what my school bought and trust me you can't lose by picking nike or reebok. The adidas spike does not put you on your forefoot like the reeboks and the nikes. they are also uncomfortable and I had problems with the heel picking up out...
