I think that we see this happening more and more as the years go by, i think mainly because interest in the event is increasing.

Nitro for example:
14'6'' at 14 yrs
15'10'' at 15 yrs

And I jumped 16'6'' last year when i was 16 yrs.

And Scott Roth is still jumping his age, Spencer McCorkel 1 over his age. Jordan Scott jumped his age last year, dont know when he turns 18. Many others, still it is pretty fun to say that you jumped your age!

Congrats!!!

Jaquon is the third guy from SC to do it in recent years. Mitch Greeley jumped 15' at 15 yrs old. And Chase Shealy jumped 15' 1" at 15 yrs, 16' 7" at 16 yrs and 17' 1" at 17 yrs.


I think the all-time world best is probably Jacob Davis from Texas. Achtung and some others probably have his exact numbers. If I recall correctly he jumped his age plus about two feet. :yes:
