If people aren’t coming to watch your sport wherever it’s being played, maybe it’s time to bring it to the people.And that’s exactly what Mike Pascuzzo did 4 years ago when he started the Jersey Jumps Beach Vault competition at New Jersey’s famous Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights. “No one goes to track and field events unless they’re watching the Olympics or some type of elite qualifying event, or they’re there for a family member,” he said. “With me being a track guy, I was convinced that people enjoyed watching these types of events, but just didn’t seek them out all of the time. So I decided that we needed to bring it to a place where it can’t be ignored. And with pole vaulting being the most bombastic and high-flying track event, it attracts a crowd.”After a successful collegiate and US National Team track career, Pascuzzo began Vertical Adventures, which specializes in track athlete training and track camps throughout New Jersey and other cities across the country. He’s a high jumper by trade, but has brought pole vaulting to the Jersey Shore for the largest beach vaulting competition in the WORLD. And the best part? Aside from all of the spectacle of being on the beach and in Seaside Heights, it’s a USATF sanctioned event. Which means that some of the best pole vaulters in the world can come to the beach and have any record breaking or personal best jumps officially count  more
