The guy in the black shirt kinda looks like Bubka, but I think he's making reference to the painted spectator, ie: the graffitti on the wall :deadrose:

Are you talking about the naked drawn guy on the glass?

yeah the naked guy and girl in the further background, its not graffitti its modern art lol, it was a vault outside a brand new modern art museum. as for the mats well they are pretty average for the mats i vault on, at a recent competition i vaulted on a pit where the box came further forward than the mats :confused: if that makes sense, no regulations here at least i think not.
