Pole Vault Commercials

Unread postby rebelvaulter » Wed Aug 04, 2004 1:12 am

It's that time again where all the awesome commercials come out because of the Olympics. I saw the first PV one today. It was the one for SBC with Scott Slover vaulting. Anybody else seen any good ones?

saw some NBC advertisement with clips of all of the olympic events from 2000. Had Hysong's winning jump in Sydney... kinda cool, even though it lasted about 2 seconds....

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

I saw one last night that had the crossbar placed on top of two greek columns. Couldn't tell who the vaulter was, just a shadow of a figure.

I think that is Scott Slover! Some one said SBC earlier, but I think they meant DHL.
