how high?

Eqgirl1371 · 07-17-2008, 06:32 PM

Have you ever jumped over jumps on your own two legs? If you have please tell the highest youve jumped and if you have had a funny fall or have seen one please share.

Okay ill start: Ive jumped 3'2" over kid jumps and the worst fall I had was I jumped and landed face first. I was at a horse show so people like started laughing. It was really embarrasing.

I've done high jump for track and field at my high school. The highest I've jumped is 5' 6" (and that is with my whole body clearing the rail). Remember that's high jump.

My vertical leap (knee's not bent, and legs straight) is almost 3 feet. I'f i bent my knee's i could jump clean over a car...lol

My friends and I used to jump those jumps all the time, we made our own little horse standards, it was awesome.

I could jump about midlength between my belly button and chest. Not sure how high that is though.

Not exactly a fall, but funny story. The first is when I was jumping a high, narrow verticle, and as I approached it, I repeated bring up your knees, bring up your knees to make sure I cleared it. Well, I brought up my knees so high and so fast that I knocked myself in the chin. That was a funny lookin' bruise

Another story, I misjudged the distance, and instead of jumping over the pole, I landed on it with one foot, and pushed off from it, launching myself a lot higher in the air, and became unbalanced and almost fell face first. ouch.

LOL you could jump over me

Anyway.. probably not very tall cause I'm short (5') so my short legs can't clear that much

Probably just like 2'3ish.. lol.

well...if I get a running start, I can clear 3'6"-ish, maybe 3'9" if I'm really trying.

From a standstill I can jump over something almost 3'

Buckshot · 07-18-2008, 05:36 AM

If I have a running start, 5' anyway. Haven't tried higher for awhile though.

From a standstill? ~3'9.

Haha I can jump higher than my horses.

Just a regular jump I can do like 3' ish, but I've never tried high jump!

I used to jump on all fours

The highest that was was 2'6 and on two legs was probably 3-ish.

I can't jump, the tendons in my feet are shot. I have no springs.

when you say high jump is that just running at it and jumping or is that like where you have a pole
