Go to Earl's.

It's only 90 miles away, depending on where you are in Memphis.

I've been jumping for a few months now.. this spring was my first track season... all i can say is have a freakin great time while you're doing it and don't get down on yourself... this sport takes time to get technique down and you cant expect instant success... learn from other more experienced jumpers... its friendly competition and other vaulters are always looking to help out...
