I had my first serious go at long jump on a unicycle. I was surprised at the  
success I had and was wondering  
a) Can anyone point me towards the IUF rules for long jump  
b) What the current world record is

My current personal best is 1.75m which unfortunately trashed another pair of  
expensive cranks ☹

I would be fascinated to know what the records from Japan are, and if/when the  
events in which they were set deviate from the IUF way of doing them.

Perhaps the pertinent information, in English, could be sent to the person that  
maintains (or posted) the records page on [unicycling.org](http://unicycling.org).

Meanwhile, I’m not sure if we here in the West have a copy of the results from  
the UNICON X long jump competition. If I remember correctly, a record was set  
either there or at NUC. Who has this information?

The Unicon X long jump was not run by the Chinese. I have the data. Now that  
people mention it, I haven’t put it in the records database that I have. I’ll  
get it in there for those who are interested here are the results for Unicon X:

Re: long jump records

So what’s last year’s total expenditures for you on cranks? Must be  
getting up there

Re: long jump records

Greetings

In message “long jump records”,

This reminds that the world records at [unicycling.org](http://unicycling.org) are out of date and do not  
reflect many new records in Japan. I believe I have been sending John Foss a  
book with all the records in Japan every year. John, are you maintaining the  
page? Maybe the Japanese threw you off 🙂

Jose Roman, in his hey days, would successfully jump over 5 persons at shows  
here in Puerto Rico. Even if they were small kids, I am sure that it was easily  
over two meters.

Unfortunately, as people who attended UX knows, he now weights about 60 pounds  
(25 KGS) more, so I would not volunteer now to lie down.

Re: long jump records

I ran the long jump and high jump at the 2000 NUC in Adrian, and Dan Heaton did  
2.25 m there.
