This was where we maxed out. I'd like to think that I could go a little higher, yet I felt so beat up at this point I think I may have reached my limit. In researching other kicking games I came across the World Eskimo Indian Olympics that has a similar event. They do a one legged jumping kick event & a two legged jumping event. So far I haven't seen the record yet, but there are videos on youtube claiming 8'4. It's pretty amazing stuff. We'll be sure to have some follow up competitions in the coming weeks.

How High Can You Kick? Pt. 2
So this is the conclusion of the epic battle. Sure my landings might not be graceful (a boxing ring has more give than what it actually sounds like), but I really wanted to win. I spoke with everyone the following week & while all were sore in the following days, 0 people were injured. The 7'7 video that I have doesn't seem to want to load for some reason. So here's the finale!

This is Air Jer from Oakland. On my FB page, you can see a still pic of me kicking a footbag hanging at 8'2". The pic, taken just before the impact of the kick, shows my foot to be slightly higher than the target. This is very fun to attempt, although the landings can be brutal. I recommend trying to land on your feet or on your feet and hands.
