Richard Harris (Scissor Kick High Jumping) *HQ*
Рет қаралды 309,789
Күн бұрынUpdate 2: ***Update again, because I finally found this email again. To answer some questions, had scholarship offers and talks in 3 sports after HS, ultimately deciding to pursue an academic scholarship and graduate over chasing a professional sport. That being said, I'm still doing dope shit. Head over to Nomadic Weekenders:

Update 1: **Senior Year I grew an inch, becoming 6'4. PR was 6'4 (1.95m) which I did twice scissor kicking but consistently jumped from 6'1-3(1.86-1.92m). Never learned how to flop because I never had to learn, to win. Wish I did though.** (2010-2011)
Richard Harris scissor kick high jumping 5'6 .. 5'8 .. 5'10 (1.80m) .. 6'0 (1.84m) during a track meet during his junior year of High School c/o 2011.. he is 6'3 (2009-2010)

Senior Year I grew an inch, becoming 6'4. PR was 6'4 (1.95m) which I did twice scissor kicking but consistently jumped from 6'1-3 (1.85-1.92m). Never learned how the real technique because I never had to learn how to flop to win. Wish I did learn though.

Again agreed, Scissor kick for height ='s what I meant. This guy ='s replicating an actual scissor kick but jumping over a hurdle with a soft-landing and also while running.

This is a case of a coach not willing to chase an athletic scholarship for a kid for some reason. If he has the vertical to clear 6' with a scissor kick, he could have done 7' with the flop if his coach had thought to help him. Wondered if he had a scholarship for college?
@rahangels11 5 жыл бұрын
I would say it was the case of a young arrogant HS kid not listening rather than the coach not pushing. I had a few scholarship offers for 3 sports opting to take an academic scholarship instead.

Old post but similar experience. In 1970 when I was 13 I could scissor my height 5' 11''. I gave up on jumping about the time people were trying the flop, I only attempted it a few times before I concentrated on running. I failed miserably in my attempts but I could still see the benefits in perfecting the flop.

AGREED, Read my comment, Because honestly this is like jumping fences, It is okay but who cares??, Jumping from like nearly 10feet onto a HARD landing AND doing a mid-air double kick IS impressive, That mid-air double kick is a REAL scissor-kick. Even if i'm wrong at least it's cooler than jumping some hurdle.

Couldn't finish the comment due to YT's stupid word count, Anyways .. What i said before IS a scissor kick/mid-air double kick, The name is because it makes an actual scissor-like kick, Anyways all I saw was some guy attempting to be show-off by jumping a hurdle and landing on a soft bag, Know what I do for fun?, I jump off of playground-bridges that are 8feet off the ground and SAND is not soft, Try doing something actually impressive, Running over hurdles, They are like fences, So why why care

Dude, 1. Im 6'2" - 6'3" and bet you couldn't jump my height, but still, Good job for doing 6feet over a hurdle. 2. Keyword is HURDLE, Really how is this a scissor kick?? Want to know what a scissor kick/mid-air double kick is??, It is where you are NOT running, and then swing your leg as if you were kicking (this is the 1st kick) and then the 2nd kick is WHILE your foot is off the ground so that you are in mid-air off the ground. anyways the 2nd leg swings higher AND further than the last one.

I'm commenting on a really old comment for a couple reasons. You're dismissing the name of the high jump technique because it shares the same name as a martial arts technique, and therefore the high jump is wrong. In the same vein then, the high jump bar isn't a hurdle, because clearly the jumper doesn't have the proper form for hurdling either. All I'm trying to say is, is that multiple things can share the same name without discrediting the other.
