Mad High Jump technique

[xSportsKingx]

This is called the straddle technique. Whoever posted this doesn't know anything about the high jump.

[soloisrollin777]

what potato did u use to record man?

[69yi]

last year i could high jump 5'5, but this year i could only get 4'9, is it because i got big and stronger becasue last year i was 140 and this year i'm 160

[bruceisjack]

[zguy876]

[Chukojc94]

[TheCANhunter]

first step: be black

[OjoOro]

@SuperAnything99 i think ur full o crap. not possible. im 12 and i jump 1.58

[SuperAnything99]

@OjoOro Probably because you are rubbish, I am the best in the country for my age and I am proud of it so get lost

[SuperAnything99]

I could jump 1.70 and I am 11

[Joehappyhour]

@SuperAnything99

If you can jump that height already at your age is exceptional. You have a great future so keep training and one day l ll watch you jump at the Olympics.

[thesportspro95]

@Joehappyhour its not thay hard two jump 1.70 we start at 1.50

[FiftyPercentRussian]

@SuperAnything99 I don't like to put people down, but that's actually next to physically impossible. But, if it's true, than.. erm yeah, good luck in Rio De Janerio 2016! I believe you'd be the first 16 year old as a high jumper at the olympics

[SuperAnything99]

@FiftyPercentRussian So you don't believe me and I can prove, I will put me high jumping 1.70 and you will be shamed!!!

[FiftyPercentRussian]

@SuperAnything99 As I said, I just find it hard to believe, but if you can put a video up, it'd be great, I'd love to see it :)

[TheReeceB6]

@SuperAnything99 shuttup you bullshitter

[keewee1091]

@SuperAnything99 an 11 yr old jumping 1.7? i call shenanigans

[guidodobboletta]

@SuperAnything99 So i heard you like attention...

[mrmaynard]

Moon shoes

[steventar]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I would have one dollar.

[TheMachanga]

Which pixel is the jumper?

[ToatsProductions]

Was this recorded with a potato?

[PaoloRi95]

problem is when you jump something you alwayes think that that is not good enough. curently I'm first in my country in my age 16 but I only jump 190 O.o

[kodibear07]

@karubottlefingers screw you. and last time i checked, its not pb. its pr. for personal record. and England "colonized" America, because the people who came didnt want to be there anymore. due to the fact the the British were against any other type of religion. sooo uhmmm... does hypocrite fit?? i think so.

[TheCookieMonster4321]

Im 13 and my i hold my school record of 1.63 m

[breakedsoul]

I'm 163 and the best i can do is 150m

i'm 15

[jappanese]

[TheValkyrieX]

Holy cow ! I raped the replay button cuz i didnt catch that scissor. Very Very Goood =D

[veganwaffle]

[jack20031998]

[gehrett123]

[VesperTipz]

Im jumping 171 but i need to find a new starting point i need to find out how to find a starting point help would be appreciated

[TheDunHorse]

I can only jump 125cm (I'm 5ft 1/2, and apparently, what I can jump is good for my height) but the thing is, if I try 130cm, I duck under it XD

[joslouisman11]

@TheDunHorse That's because you suck.

[TheNewDalekEmpire]

@joslouisman11 I'm sure you couldn't do any better if you were her height? No then. Shut up.

[rcaddict72]

[stormcloud12304]

[jduval677]

[misscheekybumy]

[ihatefegs1]

[Smillster]

he has big shoes lol

[xJakex77]

[Tarahh17Babyy]

What is "PR"?

[x3Nguyenner]

PR stands for personal record.

it's the best time or heigh you've ever gotten in an event. (:

[Basetornado]

@x3Nguyenner Its PB not PR

Personal Best not Personal Record

No one says PR

[hntr4evr]

@Basetornado actually most people say PR.

[joslouisman11]

@hntr4evr No, nobody says PR. EVERYONE says PB.

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr no usually PB

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 your a fucking retard. and your name says it. and it is PR not PB.

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr personally you seem to be the retard. Because of your lack of ability to spell, that doesn't make ME the retard. The fact that you even think for a second that it is USUALLY PR PROVES you are retarded. If you think it is PR thats nice. If you use PR whatever country you're in, thats fine too, but randomly insulting me for using PB is kinda pathetic, especially since in Europe we ALWAYS say PR

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 Okay faggot, explain to me where I mispelled. By the way if I wanted a comeback, I would have wiped it off your mom's face.

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr More insults? jeez calm down dude. your a fucking retard should be you're a fucking retard. Not to mention the epic spelling fail that represents your name -.-

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 My name? Wow douche, it was spelled like that on purpose you bonerbiting cum dumpster. By the way that anime shit your into is gay as hell.

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr Stop with the insults you raging knobjockey. All I've said is that we usually say PB. And my mistake I meant to say in Europe it's PB. I can't understand why you are repeatedly insulting me. Also the fact that you WENT ON MY CHANNEL, JUST to have an insult is actually funny. I don't yet know the extent of the mistake your dad made in conceiving you, but I'm sure all will be cleared up in your next pathetic stream of insults.

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 Okay, I'm sorry you're such an asshole. Maybe in the future you'll also be cleared up. And actually i could tell you're into that gay ass anime shit because the fag name you had made. You fucking Teste Tickler.

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr Thanks, now I have a new PB for laughing so hard at a pathetic internet troll. Darkfire has no anime origin. In fact I made it up for a game I used to play when I was about 11. Don't say MY name is gay when you are hunterforever. You're that fag here mate, not me. If that isn't your name then it's an epic fail because that's sure as hell what it looks like. How did you even start an argument over this in the first place. I already explained different places use different abbreviations.

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 Haha and what are you now 12? And this isn't the name I made up, my friend Anthony did. And he only made it that because I like hunting and outdoors. Make sense? There you go making more non-sense inferences...

[Darkfire25196]

@hntr4evr 17. Stop arguing over this. It's pathetic. Different places uses different abbreviations. I say tomato, you say tomato (this doesn't really work in text format.) I say PB, you start bitching and insist it's PR. Say what you will just don't swear at people over it. Why would you start insulting me anyway? Don't reply I won't read it...unless I have nothing better to do... then I will :/

[hntr4evr]

@Darkfire25196 Okay I will stop overstrung jizz soaked dick muncher. :)

[NightStandOff]

@hntr4evr

Dude, calm down. It's a different abbreviation for different people.  I use PR but Europe uses PB. Woohoo.

[hntr4evr]

@NightStandOff Hahahaha. I'm just fucking with this guy. Now you wanna start? Jeez.

[NightStandOff]

@hntr4evr

I find it pretty ironic that you think I'm looking for a fight. After all, you're the one calling someone an "overstrung, jizz-soaked dickmuncher" for saying that a lot of people use PB instead of PR. Where's the justification in that?

[karubottlefingers]

@hntr4evr actually most people say pb (personal best) it even says it on the sports games you buy for playstation, xbox etc... just because it is used alot in America doesnt mean that the rest of the world has to follow suit. Just shows the arrogance and ignorance of most Americans "our way is the right way" LMAO just remember your country was nothing until the English colonised it. Go Have another TEA PARTY

[ShennyBoy23]

@Basetornado

a lot of people say pr

[musicaldopeable]

@Basetornado who fucking cares take a chill pill

[rhskid11]

no lie, my best jump was 5' 10, but theres to otha ppl dat is betta than me on the high jump team. both of them PR At 6 feet.

[WasteAmerica]

@rhskid11 Im a freshman jumpin 5'10 and im the best jumper we have on our track team..except one kid that has mad ups but they wont let him jump. lol

[ZEBESTSKATER]

ive only had 5 practices for my high jump and im at 5'8'' is that bad?

[WasteAmerica]

@ZEBESTSKATER Thats pre good i guess. what grade u in?

[HerpPerson]

huh.. i couldn't really see how he jumped.

i'm trying to get better form for high jump myself. i'm trying to break the high school record of 5'4" (girl record), and my PR is 4'10". i'm not going to lie about my PRs either.

[152mph]

im 13 and i can only jump 155cm , Malaysia

[lafanderhurler]

[engelteir]

[MrQuacky45]

everyboby lies about ther best jump

[jlavileze]

why do people keep lying about their PBs?

[briangrindhard]

im 15 and 5'5 n i can jump 6'1

[co2cart]

[guitargod111]

I think alot of the comments aren't real :)

[RedEyeKiller22]

what the big shoes...

[sportingprincess]

do you bloody tank

[Joehappyhour]

It looks like you have a great future in high jump. 1.75m at your age is excellent. Keep it up cos you have a massive potential. lm 5ft 8 and l can jump 1.87m

[learntoplayy]

depends on ALOT of things.. i meen i got 2.06 at the age of 14 back when i was 5 feet 6 inches. now i'm 16 and jumping 2.21 .. 1.75 is good for his age but not really great, so who knows how he will develop :)

[BRADASHMAN]

im 14 and my p.b is 1.75 probs cos im 6ft1 lol

[slayerbat]

big win, i'm 14 and my pb is 1.90 but that was in training

i am 5"9

[FarseerOfPouiln]

Same age though my best is 1:15 (a metre 60 at the time)

[jordanaxlgibson]

video makes his feet look huge

[YuAsensi]

lol i jump 1.50 nd im only 11

PS i wouldnt put my real age on a youtube account

[lookintothesky123]

13 and 1.34 not very good, ah well

[Joehappyhour]

Your pb is very good. 5.8 feet ias approx 1.72metres. my guy scissor approx 1.97metres.

[ianmf16]

[Joehappyhour]

[cla123yto456n7]

[maddunkersTV]

[cla123yto456n7]

idc dude if ur better than me thats great

[STEVOJUMP]

what does pb stand for? i can only do 1.25...or 27 but only started today

[cla123yto456n7]

pb stands for personal best

[WTFbrendanishere]

@ianmf16 haha you kidding right??? 1.4m is shitty i do 1.67m and im the same age!!! Just kidding man i can do a 1.50m and 1.4m is still really good :)

[themafiafriend]

this guy is fantastic though!

[RoyalPaynne]

I'm currently jumping 1' 50", wish I could do that xD

[Joehappyhour]

just keep training and it will come

[matthiasprenzlau]

he is good!

with flop he can jump 30cm higher!

2.27m!!!

[learntoplayy]

You can't tell.. Some people wont ever get the flop technique right.

[matthiasprenzlau]

i agree with you! but everybody can learn a flop with a good technique!

1,97m with a bunny hop is the power for a ~2,30m Flop or Straddle, too.

[PrincessEmmaOx]

Haha. I could do with some tips from that guy. Im only jumping 1.40m atm.

Wat does he have on his feet? Maybe I should get some? hehe

[stolensteelios]

That was awesome, I think I was there that day, Southern Mens League wern't it. I asuume he's in division 1.

[huffgolf]

what country?

[Joehappyhour]

Well, it just looks like that cos of the camera. he's only size 11.

[joecaine96]

Umm? is it just me...or does he have giant ass shoes on

[nichuss]

does he have platform shoes on?

[Joehappyhour]

Yes, l know he's crazy but talented. lve now manage to get him to do Frosby style.

[stolensteelios]

Where was it at, I remember somebody doing something similar in Battersea? (London)

[Joehappyhour]

Yes, you are right, it was Battersea. He's my athlete and lve change his style to do Fosbury flop.

[perkyjoy]

you teach high jump? for someone of my height (5ft 2')i'm quite good at it-my only problem is that i jump over it as if its a hurdle haha, i clear good heights but its definately not the way forward

[JeffyBigH]

whats a good height?

[themafiafriend]

depends on your age.

Under 14 - 1.20-1.40 is solid

Junior Varsity (14-16) - above 1.50 - 1.70

Varsity (16-18) - above 1.85 is decent

[JeffyBigH]

now what do you get? in feet!

[themafiafriend]

well i am relativley new, and i dont use feet sorry, i can jump around 1:30-1:35.

I actually got my facts wrong, JV should be doing 1:45 to 1:65

[themafiafriend]

and i am 11, but turning 12 soon :DDD

[ma2183]

It depends on ur body lenght, not age

[goofygoober2point0]

im clearing 1.50m easy and im 13 but my school record is 1.651m

[MEFPRP]

lmfao bull shit

[khurram93]

i cleared 1.56 wen i was 14. 150 at 13 is possible.

[CharlesWII]

i was clearing 1.60 or so when i was 13 and i was never anything special

[guy0rgirl]

I can do that im 13 my personal record is 1.59

[darkfall2011]

Our Junior High Record for high jump is 5'10", which I think is pretty darn good. I got up to 5'8" my 8th grade year. And sorry I don't know meters.

[MEFPRP]

now THAT is bull shit but i believe the 1.50 now sorry man i didnt know it in feet before lol yeah thts not hard

[darkfall2011]

Did you hear about the Junior in High School who freaking jumped 7'5". It happened not to long ago and he beat the national record

[perkyjoy]

well considering what 'themafiafriend' has said, i no longer think it is a good height, i can clear about 1.55

[SjuaatteniTi]

Just WHAT THE FUCK?! :o

Now, THAT's wicked !:P
