@@kellyallen8528haha That comment must have gone over your head. Leap year, because he's "leaping" abnormally high. It's a play on words, and pretty witty. Made me chuckle. Lol
actually shadows like that are borderline impossible to make those shadows are probably real light from a real jump editing software *hates* overlapping shadows with a passion overlap on a shadow is typically one of the easiest ways to spot real shadows because real life has more then 1 light source you often have multiple overlapping shadows in this case, with a floor that shiny I think it's pretty clear you would get another shadow I'll leave the assessment of its position up to you it would be much simpler to get real jump lighting and then just edit the jump that's seen real shadow doesn't mean real jump 😂
I looked at this video 5 times to spot the special effects to help Isiah’s incredible leaps? I would like to know how tall this guy is? This was Great!👏👏👏
@@chrisjames6327shit. You’re right. At first, I thought you were full of it and then I watched the video a few more times and realized you are correct. Definitely some forced perspective going on, but I certainly don’t think his hand was WAY lower than the top of the backboard. Good call though.
@@Gunz_o i’m with you on that, I am the person who just liked your comment, I don’t think this is a world record jump, but dude the guy can jump. He might be using a low camera angle and some forced perspective, but I could never jump this high! I’m only 5 foot nine but back in high school. I could just barely touch the basketball rim. Now I’m fat and 35 and I probably have about a 12 inch vertical leap. I’m just trying to be silly and decent, I wish you the best.
Since this video gives you no information, however, Isaiah Rivera indeed holds a world record for the highest vertical jump. He achieved a 50.5 inch running vertical jump at Dunk Camp in 2022. This record is for the approach jump, which involves a running start. However, it’s important to note that there are different categories for vertical jumps. For instance, the highest standing vertical jump record is 47.1 inches, set by Josh Imatorbhebhe. Additionally, the Guinness World Records lists the highest vertical leap with a running start as 1.27 meters (4 ft 1.92 in) by Darius Clark, achieved on June 28, 2022.
There is this comment in every max vertical video on youtube and yet still remains so very incorrect lol.... Max vertical- reach as high as you can from your preferred take off, one foot or two.
Except if you look it up he’s actually set the world record. The effects from the slo-mo can’t keep up with the speed of his movement so it improvises. Quick Google search
@@AverageJayMedia Bro. Look up the actual video on his channel. His name is in the description of this short. It’s in full speed, he set the world record.
I think it has something to do with the reduction of speed the camera being used doesnt have high FPS or settings must be out of wack or something on those lines..
So when they say max verticle leap. That means with a running start for max effort max height. Not from a standing start. That would be a vertical leap test. Not a max vertical.
Watch his legs That shit look weird It's like something is up with his legs like they're fake I wouldn't put it past them if this is legit but I'm just saying his legs look animated as soon as he leaps off the floor
His legs are moving slightly behind his hip area, hence it looks like his legs are shrunken. Not at all true that it’s fake or altered. The Sun light coming in through the gym windows give the effect that his shadow is lower, you see the same effect when walking down a sidewalk, it’s either longer or shorter depending on which way you have the sun behind or in front of you. Just give the man props for mastering his craft.
So what is the measured "running" vertical leap in this video....???? Currently(2024)....Tobi Lawall(VCU MBB)...has a recorded vertical leap of 49.5 inches....he can touch the top of the basketball backboard(which is measured @ 13'!)
rivera is more of a straight up vertical guy and also since he jumps with 2 feet its a lot harder but i think his best is like around half a foot from the free throw line
If you look at the shadows on the wall, you'll see his head is actually barely above the rim - if not level with the rim. Still a good jump, but the camera angle is deceptive. Makes it look higher than it really is.
@lightbeforethetunnel what are you talking about? Camera angles has nothing to do with this. Just look at the jump bar, he's touched the highest bar. Dude is legit
@tman5697 Yeah, it was a good jump. I'm just saying it's not like he's tryna go balls above the rim. Just look at the shadows his head is level with the rim. Head above the rim just barely.
@@tman5697 For someone who is 6'2 like Rivera is, getting your head at the rim is impressive. So it's not knocking him at all to say his head is at the rim. He's got a 50.5 inch vertical. Highest in the world.
Why he not competing in the high jump competition for the USA team. Instead of wasting his time attempting superficial records ...he could be medaling at the Olympics...yall weird
What the hell are they feeding these kids.? That has to be a world record breaking jump because I've never seen no one jump that high. Good one young man.
Really people? It's all about perspective... thos is an optical illustion. Notice the camera angle filming from the bottom of the jump upward, giving the impression that he is jumping beyond the top of the backboard. If this was accurate, then it would mean that he jumped so high that his lower rib cage was above the rim. Every team in the NBA and on the planet would give this kid a very lucrative contracts for rebounding alone. Wow the human brain is so easily manipulated!
@Testifydesignfactory Not necessarily. Sure jumping ability is great and useful but if his basketball skills when it comes to dribbling, shooting, passing etc are not at an NBA level then his use could be limited. Obviously some of the would be overlooked for his show athleticism but not every great athlete is an NBA ready basketball player.
@@RamaSivamani exactly. His endurance alone could not be up to nba level. Unfortunately nba scouts look for more than just raw jumping ability. Like, endurance, age, agility, basketball IQ, shooting ability etc. Think about it, there's very little spots to fill an nba roster, as a scout as you going to recommend some random youtuber just because he jumped high and risk your career being on the line? You willing to take that bet? Hell no, most scouts will error on the side of safety to keep their job and look for someone that GMs and executives feel more comfortable with
When you walk is your shadow even with you? It's always lower than you. Now put a hoop at your head and the rim will be at your head and at the chest of your shadow. Im not saying it's real I'm saying the angle which this is being recorded (close to the floor and at a side angle instead of right in front of him) can cause the shadow to be lower than the actual person is jumping. But I do believe that this is fake. Because why show it in slow motion and not real time?
@taraatkins4823 there is 2 shadow in the video, also the leg shaking so weird, there is many details that are not in balance with that jump lol... also no even a vertical jump lol, is just a jump with impulse that is not recognised as vertical...
and from the floor to bottom of the feet without bending knees. still pretty impressive here at around 4ft. The record is 50 inches which is around 4'2" with a running start so around there! The record from standing is 65 inches 5'5"!!!!!
So what is the technical term for a running jump like this? Seriously, running jump? Whenever you watch combine stuff they always seem to bundle this in with the Vertical Challenge, which is probably where the common misconception comes from

Yea NBA needs this collaboration. NBA dunk contest is dead and these guys would sell tickets. Even as half time show competition in regular season games.
Hey there. This is not (necessarily) photoshopped or more accurately edited. What’s happening here is something called motion interpolation. In short, the camera they recorded this with likely recorded at a very slow frame rate (I’d guess 30 frames per second). When you slow down those thirty frames it looks really bad and more like a slide show. To get around this, some programs will “interpolate” or guess at what the frames in between should look like and add them to try and capture that slow motion look. Unfortunately the program that did the interpolation on this did a bad job. Hardly unusual and yes, technically edited but not fake. Just low quality
@@mastersurvivals1no... that would show his entire body being shifted around not just the parts that make the video look good. Also... this isn't a "vertical" it's a running lead into a "high jump".. very different on a valid vertical test. So.... fake!

I wish it were easier than it is to find the video of African schoolboys qualifying for the high jump , although of course I realise it's different when you have stay vertical.
While incredibly high, the camera angle has it looking way higher than it actually is. I mean at top jump it looks like the rim is at his solar plexus- it isn't His head is most likely slightly above the rim. If you look at the shadow of him in relation to the shadow of the backboard and rim you get a different perspective.
My father (played second highest level of volleyball here in NL and always was an enthusiastic coach) made one of these measuring devices himself. Out of stainless steel. Really, like he always does, crafted to perfection. He loans it to everyone who wants to test this with their team. You know. And he writes everything down for everyone when he gets it back. Haha. I can’t jump for shit myself. This guy though, amazing. He doesn’t even look like the type that could go so high.
@ABFABC Stop falling for carefully chosen perspective. Look at the camera angles chosen for these videos. Nowhere near 12 ft. Why don't they use a camera with someone on a step ladder in line with the rim - why not also set that up at the free throw line - why don't they have the measuring device close to the basket. The videos are always a con job.
Nah he put the work in frfr. There was a point where I wasn’t sure if he belonged with Kilgannon and them. Then he went crazy on the iso and plyometrics. When I was growing up we had Strength shoes and jump soles and if you couldn’t get what you wanted off them you wasn’t getting there.. He definitely jumping a legit 12-15 inches higher
Dude is the definition of vertical progress. Bro jumping like 2ft higher than when he first started being recorded.
How did he do it
Yea true 😮
Thats not possible

The Vertical Jump is usually defined as being from a stationary standing position.
FN energy check… 88%
i agree with you it's not running and jumping it's called a vertical jump for a reason jump from a standing position
There’s standing vertical and there’s approach vertical. Two categories, both measure how high you get vertically.
3 steps all he took
Agree...
It's not a vertices jump. He jumps toward award a momentum start.

Didn't notice that at first. Upper shadows legs are on lower shadows chest.
actually shadows like that are borderline impossible to make
those shadows are probably real light from a real jump

overlap on a shadow is typically
one of the easiest ways to spot real shadows
because real life has more then 1 light source
you often have multiple overlapping shadows
in this case, with a floor that shiny

More like hold my spear… and my palm wine
The forced perspective in front of the hoop and from a low angle makes it look way more impressive than it actually is
Perspective in angle not withstanding he was close to the basket and nipple high!
@@ObeseIllegitimonah look at his shoes near the guy holdings hands - that’s average
how did all of you miss the obvious video editing of the legs being shrunken to give the illusion that he jumped higher than he really did?
If "Upward Mobility" was a person 😂
No fair, he inhaled helium right before that jump!
It's clear that many of you have no idea how frame rates work
This dude has some serious hops!!!!!
Bre if he ever in the NBA dunk contest this dude finna dunk himself in the rim, then em judges finna give em 8.5 😂
Yea NBA needs this collaboration. NBA dunk contest is dead and these guys would sell tickets. Even as half time show competition in regular season games.
Kenny smith definitely low balling
@@NauqNauqKenny’s knees be forcing him into bad decisions
😂😂😂😂😂
He said Iam the ball
Shrinking your legs is a clever way to increase your vert without having to jump higher.
The measurement is his hand not foot. I swear some people do not have a brain.
I played volleyball and never knew to flap my feet to gain more height.
Watch his legs as he jumps. They be them telescopic type yoooo
I didn't know that one can grow ones arm on demand like that... Good on you. And your shadow decided to let you fly solo. Impressive.
I think he shrunk his legs to do that mid jump
The full body shadow is on the wall, in front of the spotlight.
As soon as his left hand crosses his right just as he takes off, some glitching can be seen. So strange.
watch his legs loool. @@BostonOz
@@BostonOz oh I saw his shadow. Where his shadow head stayed below the rim
This guy fly, literally.😮
Dude's chest was over the rim, holy shit.
Victor Webenyama: hold up bro, you got a higher stick than that?
The angle of the shot is still very deceptive. He does jump very high, but at least position the camera from a more realistic perspective.
Look at the shadows on the wall behind. Not perfect either but it’s another angle. Seems his chin would be about rim level. How tall is he?
he's definitely not chest at the rim, but is still the highest an human has jumped off the floor
@@sgttomas6.2
@@DunkademicsOfficialYeah but that's not a vertical. So it's not the highest someone has jumped.
@el34glo59 what? You're not making any sense
Bro's training the high five wemby
😂😂😂😂😂 how does this not have thousands of likes
@@ATown-ql2nj thanks
that's not a vertical leap. A vertical leap is done from a straight standing position with no running start.
Wrong! Look it up
yeah, now do it with 285 pounds on you. Hats off Zion.
It's photo shopped...
That's the reason why the Camera 📸 Slowed down.
do you see a photo or a video here buddy.
Hey there. This is not (necessarily) photoshopped or more accurately edited. What’s happening here is something called motion interpolation.
In short, the camera they recorded this with likely recorded at a very slow frame rate (I’d guess 30 frames per second). When you slow down those thirty frames it looks really bad and more like a slide show. To get around this, some programs will “interpolate” or guess at what the frames in between should look like and add them to try and capture that slow motion look.
Unfortunately the program that did the interpolation on this did a bad job. Hardly unusual and yes, technically edited but not fake. Just low quality
What you say, lol 🤡
That’s not a vertical Jump.
Shouldn’t he be standing in place and jump.
@@mastersurvivals1no... that would show his entire body being shifted around not just the parts that make the video look good. Also... this isn't a "vertical" it's a running lead into a "high jump".. very different on a valid vertical test. So.... fake!

I wish it were easier than it is to find the video of African schoolboys qualifying for the high jump , although of course I realise it's different when you have stay vertical.
No way! He jumped off a small trampoline. It was fuzzy when he left the ground.
What a performance
While incredibly high, the camera angle has it looking way higher than it actually is. I mean at top jump it looks like the rim is at his solar plexus- it isn't His head is most likely slightly above the rim. If you look at the shadow of him in relation to the shadow of the backboard and rim you get a different perspective.
Very good point. And very perceptive, regarding the shadows. That's a perfect way to get around the camera angle issue.
Don't directly compare rim height to body unless the camera is right at 10 feet. Anyone should know that.
@@mileshall9235 You would think, but scrolling down the comments says otherwise.
Don't have children
Also his buddies hands are roughly elbow level. Looks like 30 some inches vertical. A good jump for sure, but not world record. Maybe I'm wrong.
A vertical is a stand-still jump, not a running head start.
My father (played second highest level of volleyball here in NL and always was an enthusiastic coach) made one of these measuring devices himself. Out of stainless steel. Really, like he always does, crafted to perfection. He loans it to everyone who wants to test this with their team. You know. And he writes everything down for everyone when he gets it back. Haha. I can’t jump for shit myself. This guy though, amazing. He doesn’t even look like the type that could go so high.
Why don't you tell us how high it was?
They won't do that - or they'll lie.
It's probably 12 feet
@@icyboy771z Nowhere near that.
@@ngc-fo5teits over 12 ft. Stop being ignorant
@ABFABC Stop falling for carefully chosen perspective. Look at the camera angles chosen for these videos. Nowhere near 12 ft.
Why don't they use a camera with someone on a step ladder in line with the rim - why not also set that up at the free throw line - why don't they have the measuring device close to the basket.
The videos are always a con job.
And the landing is even more impressive... Like a feather
like if he didn't' really jump that high...
Looks is for picture… skill is for contract
There's alot missing in this video to prove its a world record.
He told gravity to hold his beer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
And the editor of the video said it as well

Me when the teacher asked for a volunteer to pick up something from the office.
Nah he put the work in frfr. There was a point where I wasn’t sure if he belonged with Kilgannon and them. Then he went crazy on the iso and plyometrics. When I was growing up we had Strength shoes and jump soles and if you couldn’t get what you wanted off them you wasn’t getting there.. He definitely jumping a legit 12-15 inches higher
OMG jump ☠️🔥🔥🔥
