I stare at the vault table. It’s intimidating grin doesn’t scare me anymore. I find my point on the tape measure, 70′, and I hold my left foot out, and place on the ground and push as hard as I can. I sprint all the way down the run way. Then I push as hard as I can off my left foot, propelling myself on the springboard, and diving on to my hands on the solid vault table. I spring off the table. I can’t see ground. I have to just trust myself that it’s there somewhere. Before I know it I hit the ground and my feet spread apart, I bend my knees and I look for the ground. I know i’ve landed just soon enough that I don’t move my feet at all, and I stick my vault. It feels so good to know I can do things that 99.9% of the world can’t do.
Wow. I’m impressed! You do a great job of conveying the strength and power that go into performing a vault. Well done!
Nice job! You hooked me into reading this post. It caught my eye and I wish I could do that. I know I won’t be able to.
I bet you ROCK that vault! Can’t wait to see you do it in person.
from you-know-who. 🙂
