i agree goat....99% of us have more potential at any given time than we believe....Im good mates with paul burgess and vaulted with him for 7 years and that the main thing he has going 4 him......rather than thinkin bout whether he can get on that bigger pole...he just does it...and rarely does he fail

I am bouncng from 12'4 to 13'3' and I could not do it till I finally just did it. Right now tho I am having to use a ancient 12'1 skypole (dark blue 1978) that I can hardly get in on there is no room for hesitation on it
Im gonna try out a 13'3' I found in the pole closet stupid coach for got to mention it to me, Its alate 90's 13'3' 155 altius...
