it's not like it's you money that was very funny, but don't waste your schools charity it doesn't come around very often

hey i just gave the school another $3000 check, they can afford to buy me a $150 pole :P i think im gonna do like nitro said and wait untill outdoor starts to see what i can do. im feeling pretty good though, i weigh around 135 and i was destroying a 12'4 165 pole, the other school's coach made me use a different pole because he was afraid i was gonna break it. is it even possible to break a pole thats 30 pounds over your weight if its not damaged?

Yes. If it's too small it's too small. Weight ratings don't mean as much as people like to give them credit for.
