It's not a traditional sport here
liamNL
It's a traditional sport in Friesland, which as a part of the Netherlands makes it a traditional Dutch sport.

Looks just like a broken leg.
sofarfromheaven
So, what's the rules and how many points did she get? They need the old card score so we can see.
mormacil
The further you get the more points you get, losers get wet.
LXA591
This seems like a good way to break a leg
sensoryte
Also common in other nethergerman places, once enabled <1000 farmers with razing the dikes to defeat ~16.000 danish/holstein soldiers
andrefezzik
Is this a women's sport, or canal people do this?
mormacil
Yes
amrypma
No only 'kanaal' people can do it. ;-)

FACT: Friesland is where fries are born and harvested. 100% of the world's fries are exported from Friesland.

Except the French ones...
amrypma
you mean the German ones.

Fierljeppen!
uitSCHOT
it's called Fierljeppen, it's a sport to decide who can Jeppe the Fierlst

This comment = gold. You my friend, made me laugh so hard my sides hurt.
gynonurseifixyourladybits
I laughed like an idiot. Thanks.
FuseyTV
It isn't a joke lol, Jeppe means jumping and fierist means furthest in a Dutch dialect :p
Claxonclaxonclax
First of all it's a language and secondly, you got it entirely wrong. Nice try though. :)
gynonurseifixyourladybits
Could've fooled me

*Who can ljeppe the fierst
Claxonclaxonclax
Ljep it fierst* source: I'm Frisian
theblackbaboon
Ha! Leap the furthest. Thar makes sense!
skios
Etymologically, the Frisian language is closer to English than to Dutch.
romeo222
wow she is like totally a ninja
dabutcha76
Called fierljeppen in the Frisian language. Frisian is an official language in The Netherlands, yet few outside Friesland province speak it
Sylmor
Thank god
amrypma
nah thank non-Frisians.
xtraa
There is also a German part of Friesland but I‘m not sure if they do it there, too.
xtraa
North-Friesland and East-Friesland. Dunno why downvote.
mormacil
Historic Frysia reaches up to southern Denmark.
xtraa
Yes, before the Grote Mandrenke (big men-drowning) flood. Today it‘s all ground of the Northsea but you can still find artefacts from 1362.
gentlemanloser
Dutch? She looks like Pole to me.
amrypma
Once proper floors and ceilings were perfected the pole dancing industry could really flourish.
QuetzalcoatI
A Dutch friend told me Friesland is the worst. Nobody likes them.
NeedtofavouritetheseWallpapers
Jealousy though.

Then he is wrong, must be a Groninger

I came back to this post just to upvote you. I only got the joke after the fact. Well done.

If people from Poland are called Poles, how come people from Holland aren't called Holes?
disinfectantrum
Would that mean people from Iceland are iceoles. Cause I'm pretty sure I've heard them called that before.

I've met people from Friesland. That girl is probably 6'7" (2m).

We have multiple people from friesland married into my family. All are short. Maybe the shortones lefts after ww2.

Yes.
bog015
Looks fun but I'm fine watching this online.
ToughTurtle
I wonder how high she climbed and wonder what that is to the ground
ShootYourGooMyDude
Where's your spirit, or sense of adventure? I'm totally up for watching this IRL too if the opportunity came up.
jagalomp
Imgur trip to the Netherlands?

Do they get judged on distance as well as successfully making it over?
BirdsInTheTrapSingMcnight
That's what I thought, because she cleared it by a lot!!
Behomie
It's called fierljeppen, and yeah you get marked for distance. Record is currently 22,12 metres.
HiddenSanity
Umm... I'm just gonna assume that translates to 22.12 m?
RedJack3t
For numbers, Europeans use commas where british and americans use periods and vice versa, yes.
Behomie
what else would it translate to, my dude.
HiddenSanity
My brain was trying to convince me it meant 2.212 km, wasn't buying it.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
That looks hard on the knees.
IHaveATeenyPeeny
I was once a canal jumper like you... then I took a fall to the knees
nogoat23
Just got back from a Yosemite trip. I now officially have one good knee and one bad knee. I'm 33.
worldsokayestspeler
Yeah damn she should tuck and roll on that landing
tehRuksy
I find your lack of an opening tag disturbing...
CamWing
I'm 21 and I thought the exact same thing.
Nimafox
Literally me too
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
Alright you wee show off, go be young somewhere else *grumble grumble*
bronypokey6918

FirstAidPoetry
That’s ok. Just don’t do a superhero landing.
SecondTomorrow
There's no concrete to crack, she'd just sink to the core of the planet and die.
IRBafoon
Immediately thought this
Thingyguy
I beat a hip slightly out of place 3 yrs ago doing Fierliepper or whatever they call it, still not good....
icebergdraco
22 here, had back surgery. Watching this made my spine sting.
IntergalacticElephant
27, three bulging discs, stenosis and arthritis all over my lumbar spine. Watching this made my sciatica act up
dingofdong
22, broke my spine a few years ago, suddenly not feeling quite so bad about life now I have a little perspective
IntergalacticElephant
I've just got a shit spine. Problem started at 15, has only progressed since then
StonesOnTheHill
Nah, it's okay. They have three inches of coarse sand to dampen the fall.
TheCreamster
That stuff always gets everywhere... it’s the worst
eavenPayne
Very irritating
lemonsherbet
It makes me want to kill children
StonesOnTheHill
And not just the children. The women and men too!
TyberosTheRedWake
But as long you're on the pole, you have the high ground. It's a win-win.
TomVeilTomVeil
Neat! Here in America we just build bridges.
cattaxinspector
and then not maintain them until they collapse
FirstAidPoetry
And Mexico walls?
poorwhitetrash
and then burn them.

Jump off*
foreburgh
Please tell the Dutch how. They might need that information.
FristiGods
Bitch the dutch are genius in building bridges
FoodAndAlcoholism
I got so triggered over the previous comment even though he was joking... The Dutch are very nifty.

Boring tunnels.
