Jeff, Matt, and the Time Warp cameras discover what happens when you're hit by a taser gun, how a pole vaulter defies gravity for a record-making jump, and how a jack hammer pounds the pavement...and the body.

Lukas says they showed a blonde girl in the preview. We can't even figure out where they film the show, it's brand new and isn't even on Wikipedia or IMDB yet.

Anyone want to take bets on who the vaulter is?

Dang it Becca ya beat me to it! This episode of Time Warp was filmed right here at our facility in Westborough Massachusetts and it features UMass 5th year senior Kristen Bakanowski. Our media gal Ingrid took about 1000 photos during the shoot all of which can be found at http://patriotpv.com/gallery2/v/events/timewarp/

And here's Ingrid's blurb from our website :

Discovery Channel and PPVC
Time Warp

"This summer Discovery Channel came and filmed at Patriot Pole Vault Club. They brought in an abundance of equipment including high-speed cameras that capture over 100,000 frames per second, jibs, ladders, TV screens and more. Former Algonquin Regional High School vaulter and now UMass athlete Kristen Bakanowski jumped all day. Pictures of the filming can be found in our photo gallery. The show is called Time Warp and involves examining different events in slow motion. The description of our episode is as follows: Jeff, Matt, and the Time Warp cameras discover what happens when you are hit by a taser gun, how a pole vaulter defies gravity for a record-making jump, and how a jack hammer pounds the pavement...and the body. The episode will be airing next Wednesday night, October 29th, on the Discovery Channel at 8pm. It will also be replayed so check The Discovery Channel website for more information."

What's really bizarre is that came one week after they filmed an episode of "Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman" at our facility. That is suppose to be on the tube sometime in the fall of 2009. Who knew that Massachusetts would become such a hotbed of pole vaulting television shows. Weird stuff :-)

Thanks for the heads-up - I'm going to set the DVR right now!
