Lolz. I knew, but I don't have a highbar and can't do any of them. Just in case people were keeping count, that means that I don't have a swingbar or highbar. The only piece of training equipment we do have is a slide box and of course the pit.

Very nice!! We built an extension off of our deck on my old house, to attach rings onto them. And now that we moved, the new owners have a perfect vault-training facility attached to their deck!! I think that should have added a little price to the house ;).
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

Man, if I ever get the money I'm gonna get myself a pit installed somewhere around my house. That would be choice to vault at home.

working on that too i have the pit, i just need to pick it up from the school i go to, then i need to dig the runway part out and fill it full of garden clay and then pack it down i think it would look cool, plus it would be cheaper than rubber

Or you could just buy on of those portable runways and kill the grass under it.

Not really. I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find a decent one. Besides they run for about 10-20 bucks online. I'm sure it'll probably just be like 5 bucks for shipping and stuff. No biggie really. If/when I get my pit that's what I'll be using.
