Guys, Iv looked every where and thought of many alternatives to no avail, I dont know where else to go. I am making a Pole Vault pit at my house for me and my friends, but cant find anything to use for mats. Foam is way to expensive. We thought of giant yoga balls but it turned out to be to costly even in wholesale.Also if you landed on them it would hurt and you would bounce in random directions.http://www.yogadirect.com/yoga_ball85.html Im looking for somthing under $1000-$750. Then i thought about a giant net, but if I land on that wrong I could get "seriously injured".http://incord.reachlocal.net/amusement-netting.htm Then I thought i could just make a giant ball pit/or packaging peanuts.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DE9AVW?smid=A3CPL0HESECKY8&tag=nextag-toys-20&linkCode=asn It is within my cost but it would be wise to vault into that, its to easy to fall to the bottom (especially head first or from 12 feet). I did find some giant blow up things that would work but there to small and would pop with my spikes. http://www.familysportzone.com/megamats.html Then I thought, Dig a giant hole for water. Great idea but about 4 feet in I hit rock. So here I am stuck. I have the standards, box, Poles, and runway all ready to be made but with ought mats its pointless. Any help or tips? Thanks in advance.
