I know that, but if they can make a 16 140, they can probably make you a 16'5 140.

16' 5" 140

Unread postby uconnvaulta » Tue Dec 23, 2003 10:39 am

16' 5" 140 holy crap how much do you weight, that would be nuts to see someone jump on that pole. That probably because i would destroy it but man that is a lot of glass for a small weight thats awesome

My first 4.90 pole was a 24.0 I was weighing about 138 at the time and gripped about 15'7" on it.

Young, dumb, and too full of it to have good sense!
