And we're very thankful that they named the technique after his last name. XD
No I've seen this comment be4.make ur own style.floppy.😂
Pfizer isn't - they lost a spokesperson
Lol
Imagine naming his technique after his first name lol.. I'll be jumpind Dick technique
Old joke that just keeps getting older.
This one man revolutionized the event, all because he dared to stand out from the rest.
Search for ichiro Suzuki.
@@bertilrosager6890 you’ve caught my attention
All you gotta do is watch 1 hour of baseball highlights and the 5 minutes of Ichiro Suzuki
@@bertilrosager6890 why? what did he do which can be compared with fosbury?
Why do you have to say it like an idiot?
RIP Dick! What more can I say? You changed the game. You changed everything. Thank you.
One of the most important people in the history of sports.
Rarely does somebody invent something 'totally' unique. Usually it's a slight variation on another idea.
Well, someone revolutionised long jumping, but was banned because he wasn't American.
@@quattuorperquattuor1711 Who are you refering to?
@@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.
Well done! I love learning + laughing at the same time :)
Rip GOAT ! 🙏
RIP Dick Fosbury, 1947-2023
Genius like, Copérnico, Davinci, Nikola Tesla, Steve Jobs, etc. They all Thought different. They are my inspiration.
Ist ne very cool to be the inventor of the fundamental different technique that everybody copied until today
That rejection at 4:08
E-MAN 10 hahahahaha
He floped
Just like Jan Boklöv... that V-style ski jumping take off for more distance.. instead of parallel skies
Julius Onah, along with Avicii, has made a music video about him.
MY IDOL
це круто!
❤
She did NOT pioneer the Fosbury Flop FFS…she pioneered the BRILL BEND.
Boss
i figure foam had a lot to do with it.
When you always do the same things in the same way you get the same results.
or get more efficient at it
Sad that we've lost him. Such a fascinating story!
this is Rock n roll attitude at its purest... one of the greatest middle finger in history of mankind
Cringe
This reeks of boomer energy
@@iame6552 OH does it? Well BOOOM
Dick Fosbury is a real life success story. I hope they can make a comedy movie about him someday. I say that because he seems like he has a really good sense of humor.
RIP!! A great man and innovator. Sad he passed away today 3/12/2023. By the way, this video was excellent!!
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.
Used it in high-school and won!! Thanks Dick. Rest in peace.
is there a movie?
One of my Olympic heroes that I first learned about in an Olympic history book about some of the Games' legendary stars! Rest in Peace Mr. Fosbury! ✨️🤍🤍🤍✨️🥇
I did the high jump in high school in 1968 and tried doing this but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Our two track coaches where teachers so they were no help. Their coaching technique was just have us running a lot.
then Fosbury came and everyone said: "WTF WAS THAT?!?!?!"
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.
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.
La revolucion del salto de altura
Fun video very good...but the most common high jump technique of elite jumpers just before Fosbury was not the Western roll, it was the straddle.
They should have used his first name in naming the technique.
Flop Dick or Dick Flop?
Seems like a nice, smart guy.
He is a legend.
that brown guy at 4:07 has my sympathy
Haha...Yeah totally rejected.
Genius
Such a good video
Странно,что еще художественный фильм о нем не сняли
ONE OF MY IDOLS. I WISHD IM FINNISH FOSBURY
Can you gravitate towards a high jump? It's an interesting thought 🤔
Nice video, but those are short basketball shorts.
They should’ve called it the Dick Flop. Really missed a trick there.
This is underrated man!! Nice!!
what is exactly underrated? Everyone in the world knows he revolutionized the high jump, and those who don't, well they live in a parallel reality.
... and you can't take that away from him
Give this man a Nobel Prize
And aj styles take it to a new level
Facts
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🥳
Anyone who wants to read a great book bout his story pick up - The Wizard of Foz.
I have read that book and it is very good, it was a must read for me because I broke Dick Fosbury's high school record of 6'7" in 1978 I went 6'8" in the only year I went to Medford Senior High.
These are the pioneers. Outsiders who transformed the game.
Why didn’t they use his first name for the flop?
Probably because it would’ve ended up being called the Floppy Dick
මාත් දවසක me wage තැනකට enawa මේක මගේ හීනයක්
I'm very curious what other revolutionary techniques are hidden in other events or sports waiting to be discovered
This is super cool !! ... and I evern dislike sports competitions....
This guy got me over 1.80 metres last friday. Probs a bit younger then him in the video trying for the track tem tho (15)
Kpss 2021 tayfa ses verin
how they haven't made a movie about this guy yet?
Das war die beste Veränderung der Leichtathletik,danke Dick Fosbery.
Rest in peace Dick Fosbury
Vale Dick Fosbury.
Thank you, sir
So glad to see this video.
Cool guy, even today
I went to Medford Senior High in 1978/1979 I never saw one black person, nor do I remember more than one or two minorities out of over 1800 students, I was very glad to leave that valley of narrow mindedness.
Maybe you’re the narrow-minded one?
The one
Cool😎
Great Doc
2:55 Lean back more and raise your hips for high jumps over the stick

Dick Fosbury is to high jumping what Edmund Hillary is to mountaineering. What Michael Phelps is to swimming. What Roger Bannister is long distance running, a unique revolutionary
There was nothing revolutionary about Ed Hillary. His technique was good, but no different to any other New Zealander on the Everest expedition.
@@quattuorperquattuor1711 My point was what 'those' individuals did was unique and revolutionary within the context of what humans are capable of achieving. What they did shocked the world
@@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.
one of my idols
"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!!" ...)
ngl, but I couldn't care less
How graceless Mr. Fosbury. Look north and get real.
1962, I found "back-to-bar" (Archie's Little Black Book) high jump 1890s world record setter. I'm a year younger than Dick. How did he not see it, too? "Fosbury Fake"?
What page?
@@veridicusmaximus6010 Michael F Sweeney 9-21-1885 back to bar picture PAGE 72 of 1957 edition - Also cover of "Mike Sweeney of the Hill" on the web.
@@mtoledo8284 Can't find it! I have the 62 edition nothing like that on page 72. The only thing close to it is on page 75 where it mentions his running HJ WR (1.97/6.5-5/8). He used a new technique he created called the Eastern cut-off which uses a layout to set that WR in 1895. It is a variation of the scissors. The pic is probably showing the layout portion of this style.
@@mtoledo8284 I found the book online and the picture. That's the layout part of his jump. It has nothing to do with what the Foz perfected. You are taking that pic out of context and suggesting that it was like the flop. Not sure how you could make this mistake and then accuse Foz of being a fake?
@@veridicusmaximus6010 I don't believe a "62 edition" was ever published. I stated in "1962" I saw "back-to-bar" in ALBB. It was a 1950s edition in which Sweeney's pic is on page 35. If you can't admit to seeing the "Foz" style in that photo, you might simply have a rigid desire not to do so.
