seriously andre, no one on getbig is going to leap that high, much less post it. seva is slapping around this livewire guy, who really seems to care about it.

that's huge. But you did suqat very powerful, so I say it's possible. Clip would be cool.

ok this isnt a vertical leap...a vert leap is from two feet, standing side on, and has no movement prior to takeoff.

this is impressive, but dudes are clearing their entire bodies over 8 feet, so 5'6'' isnt that impressive.

infact the standing high jump world record in the year 1900!!! was 5'6'' (165cm)...no run up allowed.

the current worlds best for a no run up version is 6'4'' or 190cm

so really, although this looks cool, its not even close to the record books...

edit:

for more info visit http://www.sciencebyjones.com/high_jumpers.htm

apparently the world record vertical leap is just over 50 inches.

that is that the athlete can actually rise above the ground that much through use of muscle only.

everything else uses conversion of other energies like motion, curling up the legs or moving the body's centre of gravity from a certain height to a new height (i.e. high jumpers only actually move their CoG from about 4 feet to 7 feet and their head move only about 1 foot!

we gotta compare apples to apples here...and this video is clearly an orange.

THe jump performed in the vid is simply a hurdle jump. Not a Vertical.

Here is the Diff:

Vertical measures how High you can jump off the ground in a straight line.
Hurdle jump measures how high you can get your FEET off the ground.

Thats no 66" vertical leap. He had to pull his lower legs parallel to get over the bar. A true 66" vertical leap would be where your feet are 66" above the ground while your legs are PERPENDICULAR to the ground. Dr. J, Jordan, david Thompson and the rest of the great leapers in NBA history have a 45" or so vertical leap. I think the highest measured true vertical leap was 55" a few years back.

did you see the original video? it was the same kind of jump . . . not a vertical leap.

Props to sevastase.

seva, you're quite the athlete. very strong legs. You remind me of a young Brancer warren, without the great genetics, deathly blood pressure, and hot wife.
