I can't believe you kept swinging. That's ridiculous. I seriously can't find any reason why that pole didn't break. But hey at least i can trust my carbons for sure now.

I think the best thing I have heard is that it is pole vaulting not pole bending.

So I am one of those people who usually has to wait a while to come in. I stay out of the sun as much as possible, drink lots of water or gatorade, and I do a few warm-ups at least every 10 minutes to keep my body warm so i don't have to go and do a full fledge warm up before I take my run through. ...

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place for this post but it seems like a hear a lot about this in here so what the heck. I am wondering about DJ's chart. I don't fully understand why one would use this because i was looking at it and I know that at the grip heights listed my takeoff is def...

I am really hoping you were joking when you called her chunky and out of shape...cuz if that is chunky and out of shape i don't wanna know what you would call the rest of us....
