so who here has got some good pv biff stories? I have a feeling that a post like this has been made...but didnt find it...let me know if anyone here has seen one. so today i took a particular slow run down the runway, got enough to go all the way up with NO penetration. i stayed upright, but for some reason forgot to let go. the pole flexed down, then planted me into the ground. i caught myself okay, just scraped up my knees and my hand went numb for a minute. after that i did another vault, probably the best at practice. anyone know Paul Martello from NAU? Hes got a pretty scary one, pole snapped and he got gouged in the side :eek: what kind of stories do you have?

I'd have to say I havent made it into the pit about a million times, catching myself someone what like you did when i try and get on a 15' pole. I just can't seem to do it. Coach tells people to learn how to fall from me :dazed:

Also, I've taken a shot to the pills once. I flexed the pole, the bottom arm let go....*smack*....*fall*....*graon and yelling and pain and screaming*. So that'd be another. We've had so many, it really is quite funny.

LOL no, but i do have a rough idea in my head of what has been discussed before. I am getting better at using the search feature. I don't like it too much, but it is better than trying to find posts by hand! :eek:
