the ramp does a lot for you... u have to remember they are running full speed into it too... i mean if you took a RC Car and ran it at their speed, it might hit the lower part of the camel... so we're lookin at great reactive force by these guys, but sorry... not talking even 50s... no one knows for sure though, so speak ur opinions... just pretty cool to see though

yea guys that has to be atleast 60 inches those camels are almost the same height as the guys. i think this movie is somehow fake there is no way you can jump that high. the tallest vertical i believe is like 60 inches.

This is the "al-khamis festival," where young men from all over Yemen compete in horseback racing, camel racing, and jumping over camels, invented by the Zaraneeq tribe. This festival has been going on for over 100 years, in the town of Duraihimi, celebrating the end of the palm season.
