The Downside of Sticky Grip

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Thu Jul 01, 2004 1:20 pm

This is just some crappy video I took with my digital camera, but if you look closely you can actually see Matt's trail leg get stuck on his grip :P

This is Matt Phillip's first attempt at 5.61 at the Club Northwest All-Comers meet last night.

I've only seen him jump once in person and I thought the same thing.

Matt Philips is a studd! The more hair on the legs the better. He live up North where isn't important for both men and women to have hairy legs. It's considered to be a "natural" thing right? :)
