i remember seeing a commercial for a really cheesey Nick and Jessica Christmas Special...it advertised, see them dance, sing, and pole vault across the stage...or something like that! it even showed someone that looked like jessica pole vaulting, but it was a stunt double, and they were really bad!! ;)

I remember that Nick/Jess special. I think pole vaulting is referenced in the movie 'Bottlerocket'.

What about Jackass the Movie
Steve O
They call it Tropical Pole Vautling or Urban Pole Vaulting or something
He tries to clear a few different things, but I remember a volleyball net specifically

Everyone probably already knows these but....
Nick Hysongs Coke commercial
Stacey Dragilas Visa commercial
Russ Bullers Hyundai commercial
Scott Slovers SBC commercial
