BACKYARD POLE VAULTING |
||
|
If you have ever pole vaulted
then you have done so at some primitive level in your backyard or someone
else's, sometimes without the owner's permission or knowledge. As we
get older, wisdom begins to escape us and we again recreate what we
wish we had when we were kids. Below is the backyard of Jim Julian (as
it appeared in the Houston Chronicle), the 2005 USA Track & Field
M70 Pole Vault Champion. Jim was my training partner last year and his
pit was donated when Rice University got a new pit. It doesn't have
to be beautiful, just functional and safe. There are links to other
backyards below. Please feel free to email
me your story and photos at bubba@bubbapv.com |

not up - PLEASE remind me. You won't be bothering me. Thanks! Bubba |
