7'4 high jump from high school

[Cussen4]

I cud jump 6'4 last year when i was 14 :)

[Cussen4]

What age would this guy have been??

[88ShowMeTheWay88]

@BrunoLars

I agree with you. That program offered by the site

JumpHigher.info

provides complete section on how to form

enhancements that can get you immediate

gains and gives a portable nutrition list to

have more healthy lifestyle aside from giving

you the best jumping workouts for higher jump.

[xxmatt4444xx]

How tall is that guy?

[Bahaa425]

is this at UMES?

[poolec4]

I love the fact that there is a race going on on the track but no one is actually watching it

[0ucantstopme0]

I love the gradual audience build up in the background from 0:00 to about 1:45.

[weirdrubberbandboy]

im still a sophmore in high school and i jump like 6'2

[javstar78]

thats not high school....thats the brown university old gimnasium...garsh

[MrDeltaMaster]

@javstar78 yeah in an indoor stadium how many high schools have indoor stadiums? in high school i competed at stanford invitational and woody wilson invitational at c davis what wack ass school do you go to where you dont even go to a college invitational?

[javstar78]

@MrDeltaMaster well i go to an international boarding school....so i hav evrything...u hav a point ther....haha

[JoshuaUduojie]

im 12 and cleared 1.58....i hold the essex district record for long jump and high jump..... this is insane

[bobbylikespie]

track is not a real sport... its how u warm up for others

[blkhauck]

@bobbylikespie Explain how track isn't a real sport.

[envisageCP]

@bobbylikespie It's how you're punished in others.

[TheInvincible1997]

@bobbylikespie That's bullshit, and you're a dumbass, Track has been a sport since the 1900 at least. Track isn't for warming up for other sports. You must suck at Track or have never tried it before at all. I dare you to try Track Mr.Big shot idiot. You suck at all sports, don't post bullshit again.

[RG32hockey]

@bobbylikespie lol you fucking dumb ass if its not a sport then why is it at the olympics you fucking retard

[ashtonsawyer93]

@bobbylikespie wow you ignorant piece of shit. just bcus track isn't a bunch of dumb idiots crashing into each other doesn't mean its not a sport.

[CrazyOldBernice]

7'4" is freaking high. I jumped against a 5'10" guy in the California CIF finals and he ended up going a little over 7'4". His name is Jeremy Fischer. He jumped that in 1994. It was amazing to see a shorter guy get that high. Either way, this guy is an amazing jumper and I'm sure can dunk a basketball on a 10' rim with ease. I'm sure he could hit his head on a rim as well.

[SnipeSession19]

Im 13 and i can only clear like 4'9, we measure in meters though and i cleared 1.40, this is jist fucking crazy

[kvijar10]

yo i'm 6 and can clear 8'. jk i'll be serious i'm 14 and can only do 5'2, this is just ridiculous. you're the guy who set new york's state record, right?

[pulpfictionost]

you have no idea how hard it is to clear just 5 foot until u try it, 7'2 is an amazing accomplishment

[21cassiemay]

How do you do that?! When did you start highjumping? You have an incredible talent, keep it up.

[jelaelkeleel]

It's funny how sometimes highjumpers form just goes to shit (first attempt at 7'2) but I'm definitely not criticizing because he's way better than me and I do that too sometimes

[SlashManEXE]

This is just plain cool to watch. You've got perfect form for just barely swinging over the bar.

[dribbledunk]

I am number one in the nation for eighth graders in high jump. What did you jump in the eighth grade?

[iamjacquesbarjon]

this is nuts. awesome technique

[Arvon1991]

Damn, you have major bounce. you were only jumping from a seven step approach. How did you get bounce like that?

[realllybigmike]

awwwww yeah right foot jumpers represent

[realllybigmike]

awwwww yeah right foot jumpers

[wonka479]

thats amazing its so cool how the whole crowd is into it and cheering and may i ask were this takes place

[johnjirvin]

wow. this was in high school? you have some serious skills! my PR was 6'3 1/4", and you jumped a whole foot above that! DAAAAMN!

[airmike345]

how wide out was your approach then?

[miahammfan99]

damn u were googd

[decadoc]

I remember you from College Dan, your approach was always suspect. I can see that didn't just start at Wheaton.

[bbender1986]

thats insane.

[yoman738]

yeah good for sure, but... the dude doesnt looks to be in high school

[mbudbud]

@yoman738 he was in hs son!

[Brymaster0]

jeez stop making it look so easy

[StrikeShot101]

I think half the guys in the crowd jumped higher than he did when he beat 7'4......

[FragMoviesCss]

haha at 1:50 ''yaaaaahhhhhhhh!!''

[jayci68]

That's awesome, bro... great job!

[x2xfreakx2x]

this is fake and gay, the jumper is not black, therefore he cant jump, therefore its gay

[DrProfessorAwesome]

I jumped 5' 5' in eighth. I hope to get really good with the better coaches in high school.

[eazyenation]

man epic i would have loved to been there to see u to jump just amazing

[blkhauck]

Of course your 6'4. Thats y i quite high jump. I'm too damn short. I'm 5'9

[warrenrox]

@blkhauck well when you think about it the pro female athletes are like 5 ft something around your height and they jump 6-7 ft which is pretty good...

[blkhauck]

@warrenrox true

[KDUBZ06]

I have a friend at my highschool in grade 12 and his best jump was 2m 20cm. He's insane

[thepicklebubble]

wheres my trampoline?

[isanameavailbale]

you jump with a left because a matter of balance when you kick a ball you kick with the right for more power so you need to balnce on the left

[andergra000]

I high jump 6'2" and I'm in 9th grade. What do you think my full potential height is?

[carlheinz57]

i jumped 6'5 fin 9th grade and jumped 6'9 sin 10thr. it really depends if u are growing anymore, if u lift ect. jumping since 6th grade and my biggest improvement was 8 inches from 8th-9th grade. it really depends, u might jump 6'8 u may never hit 6'4....but if i were to predict wut u'd be jumping in a year i would say about 6'4 or 6'5 and later down the road easily over 6'6

[andergra000]

@carlheinz57 Oh wow. That's amazing! Well thanks for the advice. It really means a lot when I get feedback from an athlete such as yourself. Thank you.

[carlheinz57]

i jumped 6'5 in 9th grade and jumped 6'9 sin 10thr. it really depends if u are growing anymore, if u lift ect. jumping since 6th grade and my biggest improvement was 8 inches from 8th-9th grade. it really depends, u might jump 6'8 u may never hit 6'4....but if i were to predict wut u'd be jumping in a year i would say about 6'4 or 6'5 and later down the road easily over 6'6

[EddieVedder13]

Dude if you jumped 7' 4" in highschool you could have gone to the olympics if you put 4 more inches on that in college.

[imthechase]

I am n eighth ade and  can jum 6'8'' and can scisso 6'2'' and my form is horrible

[andergra000]

@imthechase lies

[andergra000]

@imthechase @imthechase How do you expect anybody to believe that you can high jump 6'8" in eighth when you can't even spell the words in, grade, jump and scissor?

[AustieSizzle]

why haven't i heard of this kid. surely he should be jumping in the better part of over 7 feet by now?

[MrYankeesfan413]

this guy looks tall..how tall?

yo but this is amazing...i pole vault and i only do 8 feet..this is crazy

[ChezterG]

the highest I've ever jumped is 5'6" lol but my form is horrid lol

[2curtis6]

i hated high jump! when your about to jump it is so nerve racking, now i run 200's and 100's and i think high jump is still pretty bad in terms of nervousness but sprint's really get to me ha

[11aggies]

@2curtis6 You should try running the 300 hurdles, the 800, and the mile relay.

[OHYEABRUH]

man thats nothing i jump 9 feet on a bad day lol jk nice jump my pr is 6'10

[GMB32557142]

Dan Olson, I wish I saw you compete in high school. If you're still living around here, the Empire State Games are happening this summer (they were canceled last year). It would be great to see you compete. I've been filming track meets for 3 years and the best HJ I saw was 6-07.

[destin325]

shit....im 6'4" and you cold miss my head by a full foot...thats just crazy to think about.

[charbar5432]

did u go to division I track for high jump.

[eLLPoCoLoCo228]

isnt that like one less centimeter of what they the most they did at the olympics this past one at beijing(my bad if i didnt spell it right)..but thats sick... nice job

[rocketdb01]

haha I was there watching that happen. That was fun and a sweet performance. Did you go any higher in college?

[Slash4eva7]

wow how old are you?

[ballafasho332]

wow, this is nasty...... I done the high jump in high school and my best in a meet was 6 4 in practice all the time i could get 6 6 but fuck this dudes damn near a foot better, congrats on being a beast! that was my high schools record 7 4 set in like the 70s lol

[co2cart]

I was told a good technique for high jump.... Fuck the sky!

[Crypto91]

ha thats a good one :D

[billybobby800]

ive been told that too lol... its harder than i thought

[heyimJoeK]

where r u from, and do u own the high school state record?

[SGSHADOWOD]

Guys, whats 7'4 in meters?

[djangoLovett]

2.235m

[xXMasterofBassesXx]

yeah ur amazing my PR is only 6' 6' i could never imagine getting 7'4''....gratz man

[crossoverSJ]

wow man your awsome at the high jump

[lcbusnardo]

[booitsivilly]

[icesk8ergurl1230]

OMG

[moonlitsonata17]

holy shoot!!! i used to be the best at it last year, but now i see my school sucks!!! we barely do 5 feet!!!!

[Chicken993]

Brilliant! 7'4" that's just insane!! I'm nowhere nere that. Very inspiring.

[anthonystandifer]

i jump 4'6 and im 13

that took my confedence from a 6 to a 0

lol

[ubflash1]

DUDE im excited for you! your my new inspiration. im a sophomore jumping 6'5 and by senior year i now want to get 7'4.. :D

[This1kid09]

ppl like you only further the stereotype that only gangly tall kids can jump. . .seriosly you must be at least 6'10'' to where it looks on you at 7'

im in 10th jumping 6'2'' and im only 5'9''

[bomdigity21]

i do high jump in my high school....i'm in 10th grade and just yesterday i broke my school's record...the record was 5'3"...and i broke it to be 5'3.25"..it's not much but i want to break my own record again at districts on tuesday!

[ubflash1]

great job! just yesterday i had league finals as a 10th grader and i jumped 6'5 and broke my pr. i came in first. i almost had 6'7. my school recored is 6'9 1/4

[This1kid09]

bomdigity. . .your school must suck( you too) because im in 10th and jump 6'2'' and no where near the record

[bomdigity21]

did i mention i'm a girl and not a guy...so jumping 5'3.25" is a big deal..i'm seeded second in the PIAA district two...now i can see were you are syaing i suck if were a boy but i am a girl...so yeah

[yopeople70]

WOW!!!!!! I do high jump for my school and no body looks that perfect

[killerjunior23]

dude!!! put out some dunk videos man! you would defenetly get some pretty sweet dunks, i dont care if you dont play basketball! give us a dunk vid! PLEASE! lol

[kdub511]

man if you wouldn't have taken all thoes eralier jumps (the 6-8's and 6-10's) you definitely could have had that 7-5

[1073601]

which college did you high jump for?

[Averock4]

Man that is tight I can only jump 6'0ft but I am only a fresh man I have some years

[ZomgAnime00]

those jumps were beutiful something to be proud of. i mean this is a possitive way.

[shirley1trillion]

that must have been awesome, with the whole crowd getting pumped up like that.

I had a similar experience in high school, albeit like 8 inches lower but a crowd like that put me over a height I probably wouldn't have cleared otherwise

[highjumper205]

That's huge man....What is ur last name...im trying to see if i remember hearing about u....I graduated highschool in 2000 ( my first year of track fully) but was in freshman year of college at the time of this video... Man ur form and takeoff was awesome.....LOL my shit was terrible then.....i was only jumping like 6'8 then but was scissoring 6'6 in highschool....

[snowdrummer3]

i think i may have had a minor orgasm...

[fullermt0705]

UGH! Yes!!! Im only 14 and my PR is 5' 4'' And i've been thinking lately that the reason i cant get 5' 5'' is because im jumping to close to the mat/bar and i need to jump earlier! When i look at you jumping, you start about 1 or 2 maybe even 3 feet away from the mat! After watching this video, i think i know what i need to do to set my new PR! Thank you for posting this video sir!! Incredible jumping my fine man! THANK YOU!!!

[highjumper205]

To get those higher heights u have to jump out further....u should be taking off about 3 feet away from the bar minimum....also take off at the standard or just inside of it...u will notice a world of difference

[fullermt0705]

Thank you!!! Thank you so much!!!

[joemokicksass]

faster approach is huge too. my pr last year was 5'6... i started working with plyos and speed drills and now im up to 6 foot. check out my vids for the progress.

[raiderzfananthony]

wow thats amazing

[patpat565]

ha u vikings fan...i'm the same age as u and i jump 5'2"

[vikingfan82]

i'm a 13 year old girl jumping 4'7'':D 7th grade:D

[BaldViking]

Awesome! You should try to find a place to work out/jump. You may regret not doing it later on in life.

[pwnedut144]

woot woot!

i'm a sophomore and have cleared 6'8".. xD (the sad part is, i've never trained my jumping..it just gets to track season, i high jump...and win xD)

[mattman0666]

Where are you now? If you jumped 7' 4" 9 YEARS ago whats going on now? 9 years of training should mean that ur jumping with the pros...and out of college unless ur going through graduate school...Let's see some current stuff.

[Penziano]

He has more current stuff. Look at some of his vids. His PR is still 7'4" though, I think.

[mattman0666]

so...no gain in 9 YEARS???

[ojizzzle]

yea come on man

[sooistheshiet]

he probably quit after college/high school

give him a break we all have lives

[hidgico]

dude if u r white then u inspire me lol

[ojizzzle]

most good hi jumpers r tall white guys, tard

[T2kManSolo5000]

Nice man!

[goobanuba]

dude what the fuck this is so nasty. you must have been so tired at the end. and you must have gone crazy when you went 74

[Bahaa425]

did you go to the olympics? and if not, why?

[wayoveravg]

dan olson?

[madcow312]

damn you almost ties the indoor national high school record

[MusicIsMyOnly]

Wow, you're friggin amazing huh? Lol. How long have you been doing it for?

[johnjirvin]

that was incredible, i only jumped 6' 3.5" in high school, i hope you went to college and did this cuz you clearly have talent. really good vid

[ldformw]

how old were you and what year in hs

[madhops123]

dude my entire high school record hasnt gotten anything close to 7' 4" nice job

[Thies1313]

I jumped 6' 11" lots but never went past the 7' mark. I jumped against a guy that cleared 7' 2" but that was nothing compared to this. Did you get anywhere at nationals?

[zKingofAmerica]

2 questions, are you left handed? and you can dunk right?

[ABUSEDGOAT]

Yes I can dunk. I throw left, write right, eat right, jump left... it's a mix..

[WhitieWithBounce]

it sounds like you're dominate right handed, and most dominate right handers do jump left. like me =)

[WhitieWithBounce]

but i just looked at your vid again and you jumped right =o

[meanmanthehat]

@ABUSEDGOAT

:O

[AVIRAM0]

@ABUSEDGOAT you jump with your right not left.....unless you use mirror effect in your videos

[tompitch4d]

"A prolonged applause ensues, and Dan raises his arms in almost embarrassed acknowledgement. It was one of the most exciting moments in High School track, with some in the crowd recalling the great 7'1"-7'0" duel of Oceanside's Alex Rosen and Carmel's Eric Muller at Yale in 1990. And the best part is, it's clear that Dan appears undaunted by the task ahead, "It's only a matter of time, but I don't know when or where" says Dan".

-George Febles

[discgolfer550]

I can't believe you didn't get tired, you took alot of jumps!

[blkhauck]

Amazing

[JGood121184]

Such an awesome video, Dan. I have never seen a high school crowd this captivated at any track meet.

[joshlee1090]

great form! I always lacked that. I got 7' a bunch of times, but my form was so bad I could never get higher.

[veganwaffle]

ahahah lol i love that agree-ing with yeater319 that had to be a really good feeling people probably talking to you going like holy sh*t dude!! 7"4'!!!!lol nice vid 5/5

[hopoffson]

damn your good

[Yeater319]

thats gotta be the best feeling clearing that with all those people cheering.

[twigman1200]

thats amazing

everyone just goes crazy when u make 7'4" lol

Wish i was as good as u :p

[blkhauck]

damn very good jumping

[dopeman123456789]

good jumping
