Brian Hunter did this when he was at UT. It looks like crap though since he painted it on a stripped Spirit.

Ok...lets get the fact that Derek Miles is already the freakin' man out of the way.... and point out that this tape job just makes him the master of the Elite PV world....

Vaulting with Miles

Derek and I were teamates and vaulted at USD together for two years. It's good to see that he is doing so well. I can't believe I used to beat him at meets at 15'6''.

Oh, I love it! :D

Imagine having a street vault on the Fourth of July where all of the vaulters had their poles wrapped just like that! How cool would that be?!
