Hey, I made $125 last year at Pleasanton. That makes me a "Pro", too. Heh.
Yes, it does. I tell folks I'm living the life of a professional athlete, well minus the mansion, the cars, the wimmen, etc.

The platform is nothing more than a couple of sheets of 3/4" plywood glued and screwed together and a rubber stall mat cut into pieces for the landing area. You can buy the stall mats at any feed store that caters to the ag community.

The leftover pieces of stall mat went on top of the blocks. The blocks are nothing more than lengths of 4x6 lumber bolted together.

True weightlifting shoes (about $35-65) will also make a big difference. I bought the black and white ones because they looked like the kind of bowling shoes Walter Sobchak would wear.
