About this Video: With a longer jumping stick, a higher slope to jump off and deeper water to jump over, Red Bull Fierste Ljepper took a look at the history and the limits of the Netherlands’ oldest extreme sport. A 14 metre-long pole, a 2.5 metre-high embankment and 3 metre-deep water were set to make us forget old records. Old rules of the traditional Dutch sports were ignored and the best fierljeppers were challenged to jump further than ever before in the centre of Utrecht. Watch the highlights of this unique event.
