I long jump.
Pole vaulters are lazy at my school. With the exception of those on relay teams, they never run.
Ever.

You would win our district with a mark like that.sexecuti0ner wrote:

Shit, we never had awesome things like Pole Vault at our school. I used to be quite good at Long Jump and High Jump though. Javelin, Javelin was fucking stupid because the fucking teachers never taught anybody how to do it properly. And Shot Putt is stupid, but fun.
I'd rather play real sports like Football than Athletics. I hate running around a track but I love doing cross country running
Oh yeah all of that was during High School - I've barely even played Football since going to Uni

how far do you jump?
I used to pole vault in high school. never could get used to the 'bend' so i was relagated to straight poling it and as such never got over 10'6". i pretty much just muscled my way up and over since i wasn't the fastest guy. to be really good, you have to be extremely fast AND acrobatic and i was neither. haha
There was a guy at districts who could easily best 14'6" and the pole bent nearly in half. he also shot so far that one time he landed on the ground towards the back of the mat! i've seen several poles actually break. sounds like a thunderclap. Looking back, it was fun but i actually had more fun doing shot put. it was also alot less running involved. am i lazy. you bet your sweet azz i am.

18'6.5" is my best, although I have scratched jumps of 18'7, 18'9 and 18'10.ceslayer23 wrote:
