@petistar01 Evermore, Running

[petistar01]

what is the second song in this video?

[joeglimmix]

what kinda  verticals do these guys have? over 50 inches?

[billhj2]

@joeglimmix It varies from jumper to jumper, but I'd say that most of them have verticals between 70cm to 90cm

[MrDeltaMaster]

@joeglimmix haha naw actually stefan holm 7:17 has a 25 inch vertical and jumped 7'10... its all about explosion and transfer of speed explosion and overall technique

[billhj2]

@MrDeltaMaster I know. We've been through all that in an other of my videos

[petistar01]

[highjump245]

[jobronkhorst]

What about the amount of clearance by Andrey Silnov at 7.52

[kidsamui]

GooD 2.45

[TheRazzy99]

Do you have Jesse Williams' jump of 2.35 from 2011 world champs or his 2.37 that he jumped earlier that year? Cheers

[bilkid11]

just look at Partyka attempt on 2,37. I've heard he could jump even 2,48 then.

[eXperde]

I can't find Part 2 =(

[Gaffney69r]

4:15 says it all

[hugiebold92]

Victor Moya...Eberstadt???

[comprimise1]

Donald Thomas at 4:08 looks like he's wearing nike flat shoes. Wouldn't be surprised, he's a mad basketball player :P

[MrKotree]

[themelispelekanos]

4:13



[mopbrothers]

they should use barb wire fence to test the point lol! That'd be awesome seeing a guy clear a fence with a jump.

[kbjac999]

what comp was 2.36 from 1991 who was the first guy that jumped?

[skategivnkids]

Good video man

[ThePHxyc]

id love to see the journey from all the old techniques till now

[RealXXXTurkey]

What competition was Patrik Sjöberg's 2.35 from?

[billhj2]

@RealXXXTurkey 1989 World Indoor Champs. It's on Youtube

[BRBBOWFLEXINL4D]

For how tall Stefan Holm is, its amazing how crazy his vertical is.

[loveless47]

I LOVE THE SECOND GUYS SOCKS~!!!!!!!!

[tasossemfe]

@Miss07Erinxx I think many condider this one of the greatest jumps ever in terms of technique and clearance,maybe 2.41-2.42

[bingin15]

[Leftyy15]

donald thomas might have the ugliest make ever at 2.35 haha

[llamadogwillkillu]

8:39 highest jump ever

[S3rike]

second look says that it was just optical illusion..

[llamadogwillkillu]

idk, neither angles are level with the bar so its hard to tell but still great jump no matter what.

[DaHBoys]

@llamadogwillkillu he got over it pretty high but that wasnt a 2.45 jump

[charge307]

[gullywun]

billhj2 what is the song to the beging of the video

[billhj2]

Electric dream by shapeshifter

[alossev]

But accualy i would have hoped that you also would have had Vladimir Yashchenko when he jumped 2.35 in Milano 1978 and Troy Kemp when he jumped 2.37 in Eberstadt 1995.

[alossev]

OMG I love Silnov! He is easily the best at the moment, and i think we will see much more of him.

[freequence]

Awesome videos man...great collection !!

for agcurtain...the current world record, which by the way is the longest standing world record in high jump history, is still 2.45...and has been since 1993 as you will have seen in the second video :-)

[K33nBarrie]

[TheRazzy99]

4:16

[Snauzer67]

Oh nice. Good idea with the journey videos.Wow the dude at 03.45 must be practicing at crawling. He looks a bit like the dude that just startet highjump switching from another sport.

[mack325]

ya he's like the only high jumper with a pinwheel kick as he goes over. but he's been jumping like that the whole time.

[Snauzer67]

thnx:-)

[NightStandOff]

That was only his second year of high jumping. I don't know how he's done so well wih that kick. It seems so awkward.

[Snauzer67]

yes lol
