so, im hanging out in Dallas with my cousin for a week, and i have spent some time at the ESSX factory which is about 20 min. down the road in Ft. Worth.

This place effin cool, and you would not belive the kind of efficiency practiced at the factory. My main man Beto is the engineer at the building, and this guy has got pole making locked down to a science and is pickier than hell about it. the ppl there just wont except anything less than perfect!

if any of you guys have the chance to come down here and check it out, just drop Bruce a line. SUPER cool cat, and im sure he'd love visitors.

Ne one else been to the factory?

jump high,

yeah, its an awesome spot. they just made a few 10 foot poles for bell athletics, with a test of about 45 pounds... witch is pretty cool i think. bruce has even let me make my own pole (under good supervision ofcorse), which is REALLY cool. I def. have much more appreciation for the poles i jump on!
