Looking for a place to vault in North Jersey

I'm in east brunswick for the summer doing an internship and would also like to vault because frankly, I have nothing else to do with my time and would like to get better for next season.

Re: jumping off the wrong foot?

i actually already have jumped of my right foot right handed. I spent a good amount of time trying to correct it, and now I can go off either one at will. I've jumped my PR off my left leg and my right leg, and I most certainly do not spin around. I could maybe put up a video of me going off my righ...

vaulting in college?

how good do you have to be at pole vaulting (male) to pole vault at a division III university without being recruited in high school? I kind of want to keep pole vaulting in college but I never really got recruited because I only got good recently and I havn't been vaulting for long. My PR is 12' 6'...

Re: Orthotics for track spikes

i got orthotics cuz I had terrible shin slints from the structure of my foot, and I thought if I didnt put them in my spikes I would get the shin splints again, but the heel in the orthotics made the spike like "too short" so it would fall off my heel when I ran. I I just went without it, ...
