Unread postby patybobady » Fri Apr 02, 2004 10:02 pm

how many heights does everyone usually take? i am a 13'ish vaulter, and open at about 11'6". how many heights do you all usually take and what is the best amount? i know eveyrone is different, but just trying to get a feel for how i should do it...
Fight the good fight: It's nice to be great but it's far greater to be nice.
