What type of pole is this?

Unread postby BDvault06 » Sun Apr 17, 2005 11:07 am

Our team has this pole and it doesn't have any markings or engravings on it at all. It is 14' and has a pink and black spiral all the way up the pole. Does anyone know what brand this could be?...thanks

It could be hard to tell unless you know who used the pole before you. After the label is removed I don't know if there is a way to find out, but I could definitly be wrong.

If You are located in Blacksburg VA area it could be a Fibersport Featherlight. 3 were made for women in 1980.

One was made for Irene Speaker coach for Blacksburg College She held the unofficial Womens word record in 1979 of 8'3" and broke it in the 1980 jumping 10'3" on the Fibersport Featherlight I made for her.

It could be this pole with Hot pink label in the middle black writing?

we own two bumble bee poles. One, like yours, has no label of a company, and the other, its labeled, as ESSX said, a rocket...a special kind tho. maybe an older one...changed logo
