Learn something new!!!
I recently got a chance to visit the ESSX offices where they build the sharp looking new poles here in Fort Worth. I want to thank Bruce and his people for the opportunity to see the process and encourage all vaulters, coaches and parents to see this side of the vault. It was impressive to see the carefull testing that goes into each pole to ensure that you are getting what you asked for. I didn't realize the extent of Quality Assurance that they do, but was happy to see what all they do!! If you get the chance, don't miss the opportunity to learn about the how the poles are made. It's very interesting and will make you a more informed vaulter, coach, etc. Thanks again to Bruce and co.
