  • Keep up the Good wok just remember Give it your all! thats just what I do ...idk about anyone else but I started off the year with a previous PR of 36'2" from my freshman year of HS now my sophomore track seasons ending and I have a PR of 39' and I really want to get 40'+.

  • @ESPAR2A Season finally ended for me and I ended up scratching all 3 jumps in districts....(I disagree with the last call being a scratch) and 2 of em easily would have been a 41"+ but they were not recorded so i guess goals aren't always meant to be reached, but used as a motivation point to keep working harder. I WILL GET 43'-44' next year and i will train to be the best I can!

  • @ESPAR2A Same thing happened to me. I had a sectional championship and my first 2 were fouls. The last one was horrible b/c i had to do all 3 jumps back to back 'cause our bus got to the meet late... : (

  • he fouled like every time....

  • i got 42,2 today and i need 43!!! and i only have two meets left :( baaa

  • well when i first started, my first phase was barely off the ground and my second phase was just a simple step, however, my third phase was my life savior to get a 30 feet in middle school. now in high school , i have to get higher on my first phase but it sabotauges my high second phase >.> i'm working on it though

  • Pick up your feet when you land. You'll get like an extra foot.

  • man he has such a fluid motion

  • There is this kid in my town that is in 6th grade and he jumps 39 ft.

  • I always rush my second phase and I can't seem to get the bound and height that you get. Also, my coach keeps telling me that in my last phase, I dont reach and my feet hits the sand too quickly so that costs me a foot or two. Any ideas on how I can fix that?

  • This is at princeton isn't it?

  • i always got my feet mixed up fuck triple long the jump the way to go xD

  • is this Princeton?

  • nice step! i cant get good form in my step, i over extend in my leading knee and dont get a good active foot strike, would you be able to sugest some drills to help fix this???

  • Crappy Landing, he could've gotten at least a ft or more better

  • jadwin!

    best indoor track in jersey

  • haha you look like a swan.

  • AH SHIT I SUCK AT THIS SO MUCH I GET SO CONFUSED WITH IT I GoT A 0!!

  • How do you correct a weak second phase? I am an excellent sprinter and long jumper, but I always collapse on the second phase unless I do a small first jump.

  • @milkjug1 you dont need to do a small first jump, in triple jump you do opposite of what you do in running long, you dont jump high when you take off, you go for distance and stay a little closer to the ground so you dont have as much downward pressure on your leg, and more energy propelling you forward

  • @milkjug1 u have to strengthen ur leg ur collapsing because your leg can't handle the force after the hop do a lot of single leg bounders on the weak leg but don't focus on distance so much to start off with, focus on getting ur leg used comming down after the hop, then increase jumping distance as strength increases

  • im doing this event this friday and i barely started training yesterday and i cant get my jumps down.

  • @akaymtz123 look at triple jump kings video...there is great technique on there to help u

  • And Matt, what website do you use for tutorials?

  • How do I make sure I consistently hit the take off board at the right place? I keep getting on the wrong foot. In PE I did it 4 times and only one was successful... 9metres40 and I know I can get a lot further.

  • @RobboAroso start from the take off board and run full speed bac toward ur run up start point, count ur strides as u run back til u land on the foot that u take off with, mark that spot, now, from that spot run toward the board counting the same amount of steps, this should get u where u need to be on the board u might have to adjust slightly by moving up, or back, but it shouldn't be a whole lot

  • well ima state qualifirer in the 110 hurdles but this is ma field event. my pr is 49' 7". im tryin to make it to like 55'. but your technique is good and maybe we'll run into eachother some way..idk :D

  • damn das good a can you hit me up man cuz i need help wit dis stuff

  • thats still sick as fuck

  • Hey peeps. Im in U15 (uk) and im jumping about 11 - 11.30. Is that a good distance. And was wondering, what could i do to improve my step?

  • @cotonmafia for a 15 year old thats pretty shit

  • wtf are you talking about thats over 15 meters, damn but i dont believe you lol. just you , just show a vid of you doing it then ill acknoledge you

  • SCRATCH!

  • this is princeton university in NJ isnt it

  • well i hav never ever done this before and my coach put me in this event in the track meet TOMARROW so im trying to figure it out!

  • How did you do?

  • @KaraSueBabe30 same with me, i don't have a mark but i have form so i am just gonna test

  • lol i know, tomorrow im going to santos stadium and they put my name down for triple jump and i have absolutely no idea how!

  • @KaraSueBabe30 me too its crazy they expect me to jump so far and i haven't even gotten it down!

  • im ten and i get proper training cause im going to nationals with a jump of 9 metres 60

  • @keirrocks212 no one gives a shit how far you can jump unless you can show us proof

  • I am a freshman I jump 41 I née to improve my form by Saturday... Any rips?

  • wut in the world is that

  • Heres a question.

    Is landing on the balls of your feet after each phase bad?

  • @OriginaLedd

    Athletes dont have heels.

    :)

  • @OriginaLedd yes, you need to land on your heels to roll off and keep momentum forward

  • @OriginaLedd, yes bcuz u lose momentum. try 2 land on ur whole foot

  • @TheMatt20131

    alrighty, thanks...my coach is pretty lame..so i have to learn everything from videos/internet

  • @OriginaLedd, your welcome man, u need any advice from triple or long jump, ask me. i'll b glad 2 help u out

  • what's the music called?

  • Hmm so it Hop, Step, Land.

  • Hop, Step, Jump, then you land

  • Wish I would have seen this before I competed in the WV senior Olympics this year-09. I would have entered (and won). Love the music! Usually, I have to mute some heavy metal crap:) GS

  • You have very interesting technique.

  • muchos fauls

  • not bad bro, but make sure not to cut yourself short on the first phase by restricting your right leg from moving. and work on not arching your back on your last phase, it will make landing a lot easier

  • Everyone Add Me As A Friend!!

    I will have Indoor Track Videos up this winter of

    Long and Triple Jump + 60m

    Thanks

  • dude, i'd say that is at max 40 ft. not even close to 50 ft.

  • im 12 just got 9.70 is that good for my age btw i just turned 12

  • I jumped at a camp a few weeks ago for the first time ever and my first full approach jump that we did at the last day was exactly 14.05m. I am going into my junior year. My state doesn't have triple jump. Is that distance any good?

  • how old are you?

  • That is no where close to 50 feet dude!

  • @jumperuk yea dat wasnt 50 feet

  • @jointheswateam stop being dumb...he siad his pr is over 50 feet, that doesnt mean he did at practice with a couple of steps thats ridiculous. It was probably at a meet

  • @jumperuk PR means personal record, he's obviously not going to be reaching his best during a practice with several steps

  • you jump 13 m?

  • hmmm...im no expert, but i think u should try 2 hold your legs up a little longer when ur landing. :)

  • second jump is not good at all. But decent first and last! :) Where are you from?

  • dirka dirka

  • r u sure thats 50 ft. cuz me and my cuzin both jump 46-48 and our jumps look farther then that.

  • dud his pr is 50 ft hes doing practice jumps... 7 step is not a full aproach -.-

  • @dlood10 unless he is just counting one leg witch would be 14 steps

  • B-E-A-UTIFUL jumping there mate love the 1st phase

  • is this college? if so wat school is it?

  • im no pro but it looks like you could extend your first phase which would get you more distance. great jumping

  • so what your pr??

  • this music is actually perfect for the video.

  • Ah, this is making me feel bad, lol. xD I just turned 13, an dI'm a girl and I only made about 7.9 meters or so. I made it into cities but only because I got lucky. xD There were over 100 people trying out and we had to get through all of them, so we only got 1 jump each. >=P Most of them messed up. xD Any tips for me? :(

  • lol i know. watching these guys jump like, inspire me. xP i have some amateur videos of my friends and i triple jumping. it was just a school meet.

    my friend marissa and i jumped around 9.5 metres, but her sister jumped around 7.9 too. check them out. : )

  • I broke my jumping record at the zones track meet! FINALLY! xD 8.7 meters and only 3rd place. =( The video inspired me. :D

  • how old r u?

  • 13, and a girl.

  • Hey i dont know if that is good or not but at our school a 11 yr old girl jumped 8.00 which i thought that was a good jump for a 11 yr old because when i was 11 i could jump only like 9.10 and im a boy

  • um guys im 15, i turned 15 like 4 months ago in January, so im in gr.9 my best jump right now is 12.07, i beat my school record but i want to know from people around the globe if thats a good or average jump for my age. Please click Reply to my comment if you want to make a comment to my post :), TY

  • That's amazing for a freshman

  • My partner in crime jumps 13.78 in grade 9, we are in Canada though

  • if ur telling the truth, u would basickly be set to win provincials

  • awesome form, man. thanks for posting.

  • Oh and also, I hurt my heel REALLY bad during a triple jump but I don't know why. It's been preventing me to run for about a month and jumping for a month. I can now run, but jumping will only bring back the pain and increase the time of healing. I need a quick way other than just resting and icing it because I have to qualify for provincials next week. PLEASE HELP

  • hey, same thing happened to me back when I competed. my heels were killing me all season, I had to stop jumping and just ran sprints and relays instead. Years later my heels were bothering me again and xrays showed that I broke both my heels when I was younger, and it had to be from triple jumping. So you may want to go in and get xrays. Best wishes.

  • well latroy im not sure what i can do to help the pain but i can help you prevent it from happening, i do triple jump and im in gr.9, 2 things you should always do when doing triple jumping or even long, always stay on the balls of your feet, if you dont the same problem will happen, i dont mean tip toe, just make sure your heel isnt inserted on the ground as much, and never do triple jump in sprinting spiked, that will make it worse, hope i helped.

  • your school record is only 12.07? thats weak. unless you're in middle school still. but high school records are at minimum 13.7m or 45ft. thats pretty good for a freshman tho. good work..

  • Sorry, but for the triple jump, you are supposed to land flat footed, or slightly heel and than roll. If you landed on your toes you would collapse. Long jump you stay more on the balls of your feet.

  • Yes Thank-you,

    but I know never to jump on my toes,

    but I do tend to hit the ground really hard on my landing, and I use Triple Jump spikes so it has a cushioned heel.

    I guess I'll just find a new technique

    Still after 3 months, it prevents me from jumping normally,

    I'm going to go for an xray.

    Thanks man

  • Guys, I'm 15 and 16 in 3 weeks and my best is 10.59m which is 2nd best in my high school because our team is not big on the field events and my friend jumps 11.70m which is his best and he's the farthest jumper. Do you guys think 10.59m is average or below average for a Grade 10?

  • its probably avrige if you dont practice, I'm 12 and my pb is 10.73

  • man i can only get 10.3 and im 11 turning 12

  • thats good:D

  • That's not bad. in the off season work on your core strength, run stairs which will really build up your quad muscles and work on your speed too.

    when you compete, keep your steps as even as possible and make sure you've got your run up measured perfectly so you don't have to think about it. try to shoot for about 11.8 next season.

  • that's very low for grade 10. I'm a long jumper and I can jump 12m in triple and I never practice for it or do it. Most kids should be over 12m in Gr. 10 if you are gonna do it. I watch and lots of kids are jumping over 12, some over 13, and one kid is over 13.60

  • Sorry im from england, how old are you if your in grade 10?

  • isn't it bad to arch your back on the third phase into the pit?

  • i dont think so, my coach always tells me to stick my chest out on the last phase, which would arch your back. But you could be right idk

  • dude, elekticar. ur a liar dude. thats 42.9 ft. i doubt a 13 yr old can jump that. when i was in 8th grade(14) i was only jumpin 40'. rite now im 16(sophmore) jumpin 50'. if u lie try not 2 over exagerate.

  • yeah listen to you hypocrite, sophomore jumping 50? yeah sure there are only two high school jumpers over 50 this year and one is a sophomore. and i would say if you ARE marquise cushon you're pretty gay to be bragging over youtube

  • only jumping 40? what were you like 6 feet tall huge strides? and 50? yeah right.

  • I am 13 and I jumped 13.05

  • americas middle school national record is 42 feet...

  • i can only jump 32' 9 :/

  • it really helps to see triple in slow-mo! hope i can break the school record now! only 6 inches away!

  • watching this i think has helped me, im a sophomore and my PB is 39"11, now hopefully i can finally break 40...nice video

  • ahhh

    all these comments about how far ppl can jump makes me feel bad :\

    I can only jump 25' -ish.

    :[

  • damnnnnn

  • my best was 39 nine somethin last year as a sophmore and i have bad knees

  • Heyyy...I broke the standing triple jump underr 13 record last weekk..( for wales) :)

  • i am 12 and today at practice my pr was 32ft

  • Why do u post ur results on other ppl's videos lol.. Bragging much?

  • yeah i go to school in NY and used to suck at triple but i got to see gary jones jump and he taught me a lot(his best in college is about 53-55 ft) and i was able to improve from 30 ft to about 37 with his help but triple jump is so much fun kills your legs though

  • no knee drive on your first phase cycling leg. bring it all the way through. not bad otherwise. check out my triple jump slo mo vid

    ill be a sophmore in hs this year and idk what ill get..

    :)

  • anyone going to massachusetts state meet this week?

  • i went to the devision 3 meet

  • Perfect hop, step and jump dude

  • man.. and the world record is like 59 feet! that doesnt even seem possible

  • I think the world record is actually a little bit over 60 feet :O

  • the WR is over 60 feet

  • If u jump so well, why don't you go from the 36" board?

  • yeah...a lot of people would say the same thing but some people just feel more comfortable jumping closer to the pit for their last jump

  • some of highschools varsity standards are low. I go to Hillsborough and our Lj is 38'6", lj is 18'6", an hj is 5'8"

  • I started out my first year of triple doing 40 ft. and now I'm doing 42's (i'm a fatass so cut me some slack). Most important thing to remember is continuing forward momentum by striking the ground with your foot directly under your hips.

  • I am a freshman in college, and got 43 and an inch yesterday actually.. 3rd time ever doing it, and i suck at form, so that is good to hear. And it makes sense, i think that is how i messed up on my last jump, because my 1st phase is huge, and my foot probably got out in front of me.. but hey, i won conference.. yes, i go to a smaller school

  • w.t..f...how do you get so freakin good at this...

  • I saw Marcus Smith from West Allis Central in WI get 48'10.5" a few days ago. He has one of the top 4 or 5 trips in the state history.

  • California has guys going at or above that mark every year, marks like that are damn impressive for high school athletes.

  • damn, well there's a lot more talented people per capita in places with bigger populations like Cali, NY and such

  • PERFECT FORM!!!

  • i have a big meet tomorrow, and i LOVE watching how other people triple jump. this slow mo video helps cause he has perfect form.

  • i jsut did MEET and man my legs hurt!!

  • hey man not a bad job keep up the work!! only major thing i would fix is getting your knee/leg up more on your third phase and then driving down to really get up in the air when you enter the pit. Otherwise not bad!

  • hey nice vid. i could definately see i was doign my first phase totally wrong. wuts ure personal best? and ure in high school?

  • excellent video

    but can you have a slower video

    of each step?

    my record for triple is 37"7'

    and long is 18"4'

  • 37 is not bad how old r u? I'm in 9th and mine is 38" flat. Our districts in PA is 34" I forget my long jump but my high jump is 5feet 8 inches and districts for that is 5 feet 2 inches

  • this kind helped me see some technique...but not enough, im doing this tomorrow for the first time at a meet. ive actually never even gotten the chance to try it...im good at the long jump but this i have no clue about...i actually really dont think ill make it to the sand lol

  • HEY BRO. you are a beast. congratulations!. I think you`re gonna be a world class athlete. I`m a long distance runner.

  • yo. i'm a junior, first time track jumper doing triple. I agot 37'4 with running shoes, probably no technique and not much confidence going into it. Is over 41 a possibility?

  • im not tryin to make u feel bad but last year as a freshman i started jumping 34' and by the end of the season broke my schools record with 41'4"...so yes, its very possible. its just technique.

  • 38'11= current PR

  • Im also a Freshman and my very first jump I took without any practice, I got 36'. I don't know how your school's record was 41' because our district qualifying length is 42'. Hopefully I'll be able to get that next year and from there PA states.

  • I get about 36 feet and im a freshman, best on my team =/

  • lolz

  • im freshmen this year. but last year in 8th i triple 38 something and my friend did 40 our very first meet.

  • haha u said first meet! ahaha thats funny to me...sorry immature moment lol

  • I'm doing 12.mids (40-41') at the moment with terrible technique, i have around a 5.3 meter hop, a 3.5m step (couldn't stretch it out) and a 4.8m jump, if I could get my step out, what do you think I'd be able to jump?

  • i got 35' as a sophomore but i never did it quite right so i'm hoping on 38-40 this year

  • wow you jump 15? sweet, how old are you?

  • How far do you jump I jump 43'6 and its my first year jumping... I like your technique how do you bound your second phase i just step.

  • im ajunior (girl)

    37 10.5"

  • ha, i wish i was that good

    im a freshman and i can do 37'10"

    but damn!
