Record Box Jumps by Parkour Mumbai traceurs. 54 inch and 56 inch Jumps by Hanuman.
Record Box Jumps by Parkour Mumbai traceurs.
Hanuman manages 54 inches and attempts the world record of 56 inches.
On International Parkour Day on Jun 5, 2011 (actually the day was on the 4th but we celebrated it the next day), Parkour Mumbai practitioners got together to try and set some Standing Box Jump records. We were hoping to capture the crazy flying Hanuman get a 52 inch box jump, but we were rewarded with a 56 inch attempt instead, with several other guys also setting impressive figures.
Now 56 inches, if the landing is stuck and balanced, is a World Record for Standing Box Jumps. Possibly a Guiness World Record as well.
We're pretty sure that if Hanuman trains a bit more, he can go all the way to 60, seeing as his 56 inch attempt still looked easy, and considering the circumstances under which he set the record.
The figures of the jumps are -
NOS and Zeeshan attempted a 50, but did not manage to stick it.
Nirmit stuck a 52, and attempted a 54 inch jump.
Hanuman stuck a 54, and attempted the world record of 56 inches, almost sticking it.
All the people who attempted and got their feet up on top, but did not stick it, would have gotten it given a few more attempts. But we were short on time, and had to keep moving on.
