Yep - PVJunkie - I will be happy with half his push off -lost a beer betting he would not make 5m in practice that day - but he will get me to PR this year at my young tender age - lots of kids in his camp showing big improvement as well - come Sept - he still would not take me in more than half the events if he has the nards to line up - Brian really stresses taking off tall - even if you are not
Plant like crap sometimes ok most times

Yeah, that is definitely a misprint. That guy was actually like 6'2 or so. Not sure how the 6'10 got on there.
