Robbie Pratt is pretty dam slow and I think he's jumped 5.60, I've seen him jump 5.50 or better a couple of times now, and I am always shocked at how high he can jump moving so ridiculously slow.

went to Earl Bell's camp last summer, he said Chad Harting ran the 15m fly in 1.58ish... thats less than 10m/s at top speed, without a pole...

for a 19' jumper, thats not teribly fast

He was running way faster on his 19 ft jumps obviously. My best 15m fly is 1.52 with lazers shooting out my a**. I've never jumped nineteen feet.
