Do you have contact information for coach at the college. I'd rather borrow poles if possible.

no go on borrowing poles. Coach says he won't allow anyone to use his poles.

What size pole do you need? I've got some that I can bring down. Let me know brand, weight and length that you're used to.Later.............Mike

I also hear that "Decamouse" on this board may be bringing poles for rent? Is that true? Bubba

I am going to do the Pent on Thursday but have other commitments for the weekend so will be leaving - I am trying to make arrangements for a few poles I will drop off to be returned to me the following weekend at the Regional Meet outside Milwaukee - but I am not crazy about leaving a bunch of poles with no one running herd on them -
Plant like crap sometimes ok most times

I compete on Sunday. Would need 490 poles ranging from 18.4 to 17.0. I currently carry a pit pole, 18.0, 17.5, 17.0 flexes
I am not picky on brand names. most poles i jump on are black label ucs poles from late 80's.

I'm afraid I don't have anything that big. Closest I've got is a AMF Pacer III that's 15' 9" X 175. Wish I had something biggere for you. Later..........Mike

I am still bouncing the idea around about driving up to the meet. If I do come up i jump on 16ft poles. 16 175-195. You will be more then welcome to jump on them if I am there. Still have to get my work schedule ironed out though.
