Imagine watching this dude walk home from school and casually hop over a 6ft fence into his backyard.

[jasons]

This is the first time I see someone jumps that high and lands standing up.

[grodard]

Falling on your feet somehow makes it more "authentic" than the Olympics version.
Thanks for the slow motion that makes those incredible jumps more understandable.

[Diego-rbvo]

I love the hug he gives himself at the end ❤

[aregyaan]

kangaroo : no one can jump higher than me
kenyan high school boys : hold our school bags

[fortress]

Nobody came to hug him and he decided to hug himself.

[roberttemple]

Beautiful!. I like seeing the appreciative audience, too. Such happy enthusiasm in a group is really heartening.

[johndoyle]

Such style, no landing mats, they land on their feet and walk away. Love the singing.

[cocochrisp]

Best part is that he hugged himself at the end. Self love.

The Kenyan space program is just some kid jumping to the moon.

[coachj]

One dude is jumping in board shorts and the other is wearing football/soccer cleats. Incredible athleticism.

[alboesenberg]

After living and working in West Africa for almost 29 years, I have seen and encouraged some amazing athletic talent, an unclaimed field of better than the average professional Western talent in basketball and soccer .

[thesoulmeida]

You are rejected for Olympic
Reason: overqualified

[herollsisolobitana]

Those guys are more than athletes... They are superhuman

[tahaniali]

This just shows how many undiscovered people in Africa that have a really good talent

[philipfleming]

Incredible. That's the most athletic thing I've ever seen!! The man actually lands on his feet!!! WOW

[VP-nxre]

And this is just high school. Imagine their national team.

[notintohandles]

Absolutely beautiful display of skill and prowess.

[jacktoddy]

Brilliant! the forward motion off one leg - both guys are inbelievable.

[Ken_inspiration]

Can only imagine how high these guys would go with proper training facilities... Proud of my local lads
