How to practice high jump?

Question

I've run track for the past two years and both i've tried to do high jump. i haven't gotten good enough to compete but i think that if i practiced over the summer i could get there. the problem is that i need something i could use as the high jump standard (the thing that holds the bar that you jump over). I looked at real ones online and the cheapest ones i could find were $300, and that's way too much money for just practicing over the summer! i thought of using tripiods but i haven't been able to find any that are right. if you have any suggestions of things i can use or where i can find tripods that are tall, adjustable, and inexpensive PLEASE let me know!

Answer 1

Maybe you could use some PVC pipes? They're made of plastic, and probably woudn't hurt if you hit them.
