That's great. How high are they jumping?

It looks like they're doing a Liu Kang flying kick from Mortal Kombat. I've never seen someone do the high jump like that.

I learned recently from some commercial on TV that before someone decided to start jumping over it backwards in the Olympics, people used to do the high jump facing sideways as if kind of stepping forward over it.

Apparently they haven't heard of Dick Fosbury.

Judging by the stick-handlers at the sides of the jump, this guy probably jumped about 190cm. That's a lot higher than I can jump, but quite a bit lower than I'm sure they could jump if coached in the "correct" way to jump.

Didn't he have a nice soft mat to land on?

Apparently they haven't heard of Dick Fosbury.
