Nice film, thank you guys! Brought back my school memories when I made 1.85 m (around 6.07 foot) with that technique. At least, higher than my hight, 1.83. Although, what is shown here is actually not the original Fosbury Flop, but its modified version used all over the world today. Dick would make it with hands by his side, not raising the left one above the bar - and no one does it this way anymore, unfortunately.

@@luckofthedice Tuariki Delamere. He did to Long jump what Dick Fosbury did for high jump. although the high jump had already changed from landing on one's feet to landing on all fours, organisers had started to use a soft landing instead of the sand pit. in the long jump, they were still using the sand pit when Tuariki Delamere started doing a head first like Dick Fosbury,, except that he went stomach down. banned for too dangerous, rather than putting in a soft landing like they have for high jump.

Legend. Dick Fosbury started high jumping at the age of 16 with the traditional roll jump style. Then he revolutionized the traditional roll jump style by replacing the jumps with a "strange" backward style. His coach discouraged him from using the unconventional method. Newspapers wrote that Fosbury's technique was like "a fish flopping into a boat" and that he was "the laziest high jumper in the world". . . . But 5 years later, at the age of 21, he won Olympic gold (in 1968 in Mexico) using his technique. Since then, all high jumpers use this "strange" . . . “Fosbury flop” - back-first technique.

I wanted to try it in 1978 but to be honest with the poor mats that we had, it wasn't really a jumping pit, I was afraid to let my head hit first. Darn shame, though only 6', I could bounce my head off the backboard and could really "jump" but ended up not becoming a high jumper, but a mediocre sprinter, who's best time was about a 11.2 100 meters.

@@spactick well, the world is easily shocked. Hillary only climbed slightly higher than Charles Evans and Tom Bourdillon two days before, and they only climbed a little higher than Tenzing and Ray Lambert the year before that. The relative ease with which they did it was due to their acclimitisation - an accident - and the thorough preparation of strategy, organisation, physiology and objectivity of the whole expedition, a team effect if you will, in which the cannon fodder was hillary and tenzing. They did what they were told to do, and did it well. But no more. You are right that they became famous, but not for any reason that I would justify. And that celebrity hides the truth. I'm just going on a bit because I resent the cult of the individual, so I will stop now.

"Pioneering" (in track and field athletics): ...Discovering that they've placed a heaping pile of saw dust and/or thick bed-mat on the other side of the bar (and, realizing that they are going to have that at real competition). REAL high jumping (and pole vaulting): Go and find the 1936 Olympic footage of those two events. Once they saw the first guy do this (in either high jump or pole vault), they should have realized the ridiculousness of it and resolved that for competition time they were going to ban the use of elaborate cushioning. (It should only be allowed in the early stages of training -- the stages where you master the technique of getting over the bar. Then, you learn how to land like a MAN!! ...Not like that Italian comic, Roberto Benigni, leaping through a whorehouse window, "Ladies, look, I'm uh-here!!" ...)
