just wondering, how far can people rolling hop? what are the records?
i jumped 190cm today (i think thats about 6 foot 3 inches). i am 14
years old and only about 160 cm tall (5 foot 3 inches i think!). is
this a decent jump?

Sounds pretty decent to me! But I can't rolling hop to save my life. The
NZ record holder is about your age, maybe a bit older I suppose, I have
no idea, he can jump over 2.3m, I'm not sure what he got in the end
though.

'Here's' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/search.php?searchid=10907) a
start.
And the results of the recent 'NZ Uni Weekend '
(http://tinyurl.com/dv3ga)where the winning long jump was 2.45m.
Your 1.90m looks pretty good.

If people are going to start posting how far they can jump, please also
post your static gap length, I've done 1.8m, would be impressed by
anyone who can do 2m!

Static gap: 1.575 meters, at O.U.I 05.
Rolling long jump: About the same, maybe less.

How are you guys measuring your jumps? The IUF now has official rules
for the competition event, though these are not necessarily what has
been used at competitions in the past:

If you use sticks and a witness, it's very easy to see whether you
cleared an exact distance or not.

We use the method with the two sticks.

The 2-stick method was also used at the recent NZUNi Nationals. It is
by far the fairest and least subjective method I've seen for long jump.

I can appreciate the fairness of the stick method but I also have my
reservations...
I filmed Peter VB (munimanpete) when he was going for 2.5m at the NZUni
longjump competition and although he shaved the top of the "landing
stick" when he landed (therefore discrediting the jump), by the time he
actually made contact with the ground, he'd infact cleared the distance
by a good 10cm!!
If the sticks used had been lower profile he would have been credited
with clearing the distance so I think we should be aiming to use lower
profile sticks or else consider other methods of measuring official
records. This is afterall a longjump competition so the height of the
jump shouldn't need to be a factor.
cheers
Pete

OK so maybe it wasn't 10cm but it's definitely disputable about whether
he made the distance or not...
I do think that if we'd used a lower profile stick there wouldn't have
been any contact.

Pete, I though we taped over my final 1.5m jump attempt? So you sure
that one is it? Cos I remember when we watched it the distance being
bigger, more like 10cm 😉
And then yeah I thought we forgot to go forward and taped over my last
jump....

yeah i'm not too sure, I remember the distance you cleared it by being
much bigger... that might've been your 2nd attempt at 2.5m. The frame
"NZuni05.jpg" is the last frame on the tape before the Pidgeon Park
stuff
