@mouloudo The only way you can be sure that his head is at rim level is to have the camera at rim level (which it isn't) otherwise it can look like it is at rim height without actually being at rim height (this effect is exploited time and time again) Plus you also have to assume the rim is at 10...

@Mailme81 You might take note of the fact that the camera is at floor level, this means that although his head appears at or even above the rim, it isn't necessarily so, especially when the camera angle is from behind him. A better angle to judge his vert from (but by no means perfect) is from th...

While your vert leaps are extremely impressive, I don't believe you are jumping higher than 38" at best. For a 50" jump at your height the top of your head would need to be level with the rim, and you are at least 12" below this. T-dub is a good example of someone with a 50" running vert. A 40"+ ...

Well done on your hard work (and your accuracy and honesty relating to your vert)

@thesniper321 Another more simple way of seeing that this is nowhere near 49.5 inches is that the distance between the tip of his toe and the top of his knee (at his highest point in the jump) is only slightly shorter than the distance between his toe and the ground. It is highly unlikely that h...

Are you sure that a. he touches the ceiling and b. the ceiling is 12'6"?. Making the assumption that T-Dub has the same reach as me (230cm-I am also 5'9") he is doing a 59.5 inch vertical leap, which (even for T-Dub) isn't possible.

@trentbroadbent you can surely understand why a title saying 'vertical jump 62"' attracts this sort of responce, why not change the title to a 'one step box jump' which is what it really is.

I concur that this is a legitimate 40" he was in the air for slightly more than 27/30th of a second.

He stays in the air for 27/30th of a second =39" running vertical

In the air for 26.5/30th of a second = 37.5" running vertical.

A genuine 48" running vertical. (off the ground for one whole second)
