Insane hip and knee bend I think you mean. His waist really only goes about 30" vertically.

It's the world record......

Its not a true measure of vertical leap but its still mighty impressive.

maybe he can learn to alley-oop a basketball with his feet...that would be awesome.

Are people in this thread really that clueless?

This is how you measure a vertical jump



Now look at the guys waist in that video. If he is say around 5'10" then his waist should be ~39" high. Now go forward and look how high his waist goes. It goes maybe 6" above the stack. 63"+6" = 69" - 39" = 30"

The world record for the vertical jump is 55". This is nowhere near that.

don't freak man, there are 3 people in this thread other than yourself and only one person has implied its a world record of some kind.

It might be the world record in stabilized jump height (?).

I'd rather see the fail reel than this.

.....

some people are taller than others. some people's arms are longer than others. you're measuring vertical reach.

Say wha...

If I stand still, reach my hand up as high as possible and it hits 7' and then I jump and reach the same way and it now hits 10' Whats my veritical?

Well, that page is pretty clear on what record we're talking about

This guy handily beat the previous 58.27" record. It's pretty ****ing impressive regardless

hmm now i'm not sure. but the point i was trying to make is that i dont think jumping abitlity has anything to do with how high you can touch that mechanism. a 5ft guy that can elevate 2ft off the ground is still gonna touch that thing lower than a 7ft guy that can elevate 1 inch. which is the better jump?

not sure if troll or...

not trolling, it's an argument of semantics and perhaps i gave a retarded example, but to me the best jump has nothing to do with how high ur arms can reach.
