What are some of the weird or quirky things you do to prepare for competitions? (i.e. warm-ups, unifrom or anything you think is completly unique)

Umm, hmm, to tell you the truth, I have a huge massive bright orange umbrella, I love to set it up, get me somthing to lay on and take a nice nap. :dazed:

I like to drink Hawaiian Punch, before or during. Other than that, I'm so worried about warming up, (I have a certain set of warm-ups I do if that counts) that I don't think about a ritual. I can't have one because then I get screwed up mentally, like if I do bad I'd be thinking, now was it because of that pair of socks?? :confused:

well i have caught some flak for this one, evey time i step on the run way i raise the pole as if i were planting it with just my right hand and with my left hand extended up in the air i open and close my hand repeatedly (looks like i am waving ) thats my thing.

I used to jump without any twpe on the pole and just use stick um. so I would spray the pole at the end of the runway and twiat the pole in my hand until the squeak it made was just the right pitch from becoming sticky. That kind of always settled me into the right mind frame.
