High altitude. Low sportsmanship.

I guess maybe i missed the unsportsmanlike conduct in the video...........All I saw was someone who set his 1st pr in years and being jubilant about it. Toby has, is, and always will be one of the most down to earth fun guys to hang with out there. Really.............what exactly was was the part of what he did that was unsportsmanlike.

I think it was a particular word he yelled out as he was celebrating.

I've been known to drop an F bomb or two while vaulting, not because i was being unsporstmanlike or rude, but because i was caught up in the moment(or about to land in the box). People celebrate in different ways and we all should be happy for him. I'd probably say the same thing after clearing 19 :P

Toby should stroke and celebrate because:
1) He hadn't PR'd in a while
2) It was 5.81 afterall
3) He is easygoing and Badamick is not

Badamick, what happened to you? You used to be so easy going.

Ha! I haven't changed as much as the vault community. A good vault should stand on its own. Naysayers: See what they think of that song and dance in Europe.

ok - I appeal to Tarasov's post jump celebration at 97 world championships.

what is it about the song and dance that you don't like?

And Neovaulter (Cal Poly Philsophy Grad), ad populum arguments of an ad hominem nature are invalid, as you know.
