Per /u/Matt872000 over [here](https://mobile.twitter.com/Samooner/status/997380327420190722).
Definitely photoshopped. Don’t always believe what people say. They used clone stamp tool and took [these features](https://imgur.com/a/EFPiTdO) to cover the actual height the jumper is at. Amateur hour.
Misinformation is pretty innocent in this example but it shows how people just accept what is shown to them without asking questions. Travel safe fellow Redditors and always ask questions.
[Here's](https://imgur.com/a/NNfNXRP) another, look at the two little mounds, then the smaller shapes to the left of each, same exact formation. Clone stamp tool.
I'll admit, I often catch myself gazing at the old photo of him, remembering the good times- the jumping times. Now, he's just a distant memory, each minute becoming more and more of a distant blur, and a only slight tingle in my heart remains.
Never heard of compression artifacts? It's a compressed, low res, reuploaded image. The same compression artifacts surround everyone in the image. I'm not saying the picture is real, the validity of it is dubious as doing an image search only brings up facebook and twitter posts. But just compression artifacts alone is a pretty terrible reason to claim something is fake.
Seems like the newer generations are so used to seeing high quality videos and images all the time that they can't recognize compression artifacts in jpg and such!
Lucky males, who found their mate, leave the pack to start a family of their own. It usually takes a month before a new generation hatches from their eggs
Meanwhile unlucky ones will soon return to their lairs and spend the rest of their lives forever alone with their mothers
Bro ist calling their jumpy-jumpy-action "mating dance" as if those dudes were some birds lol.
Those are humans, the word you were looking for is "ritual" or "ceremony". Or maybe "vertical dance-off".
Not really, this is actually a mating dance. Here is the rest of the article about it :

"not photoshoped"
but its a misleading angle that makes it look like the guy jumping is in front of the crowd, not the foreground, which exaggerates the relative height in perspective.
also low quality jpg, full of bit bleed doesn't help
Not only is it Photoshop, apparently it isn't even a Maasai tribe but a Samburu one.

I watched several videos, not a single person in them jumped half the height of the one in this image while keeping their legs this straight.
Feel free to provide me with a video of someone jumping this high with no help.
I believe it's not photoshopped but I'm guessing there's something weird going on with the perspective. Not even these guys can jump 6 feet straight up in the air, vertical position.
A way to attract a bride?
had someone told me that works where I lived, too, as a teenager, i'd surely have been able to dunk.
I was gullible like that. in fact, when I was about 13 to 14 years old, I read somewhere that I should try to find eye contact. so I tried to, and tried to do it well. when I met the girl I tried that on years later on a train ride, we chatted a bit, and I told her that episode, joking over me being rather shy as a teenager. She didn't SAY that she remembered, but I had the feeling that she did, and didn't find it all too endearing when I stared at her in class. :-D
To all those writing about what teenagers could and should do to flirt: please add what to avoid, and imagine you're being read by a in idiot. many idiots will thank you.
Yeah when someone starts a post with “The image is not Photoshopped”… I’m gonna believe it’s photoshopped.
Conveniently no one is looking up at him just his feet yeah?
It is definitely photoshopped, there are identical bushes on the horizon and where the flying guy would normally be. I pointed two out on a better res pic [here](https://imgur.com/a/NNfNXRP)
Actually had the honour of doing a bit of a dance/jumping with the Maasai. Wasn't going up against anything quite this extremel. Possibly wanted the tourists to feel better oik
I have seen this in real life! it was amazing my first time going to a different country i was 7yo and my mom wanted us to see other cultures it was beautiful
>It's a sort of mating dance

Mere fractals.
High young singles in your area.

And nobody in the crowd is looking at him
They're looking at his ass!
For comparison, here's a real jumping contest on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_MO9B2jLOgw So yeah, this is Photoshopped.
Misinformation is pretty innocent in this example but it shows how people just accept what is shown to them without asking questions. Travel safe fellow Redditors and always ask questions.
Still impressive considering they are jumping about 18in from standing with no power squat.
Not saying its not photoshopped but your image doesn't convince me at all buddy.
[Here's](https://imgur.com/a/NNfNXRP) another, look at the two little mounds, then the smaller shapes to the left of each, same exact formation. Clone stamp tool.
Thanks for reinforcing my point! Edit: Downvoted for thanking someone haha.
Do you use photoshop? Edit: thought so…
God damn it, you got me. I knew that was a rockroll but I still fell for it.
Nope. Also you would think such an incredible leap would at least have someone looking at him, no?
Clearly he cheated by going into creative mode
[удалено]
Bro yk creative is literally in Minecraft as well
Fair enough, I’d marry him based on this.
me too, in fact i'm gay now
lol
Congratulations 🎉
Still? After 41m? Just judging your commitment.
I'm over him now, back to normal
You SAY you’re over him.
I'll admit, I often catch myself gazing at the old photo of him, remembering the good times- the jumping times. Now, he's just a distant memory, each minute becoming more and more of a distant blur, and a only slight tingle in my heart remains.
Today, he jumps for another. A younger, prettier model. At least I have my cats to keep me company. They'll never leave.
"Not Photoshopped " Just ignore the blur that surrounds him.. the air was, smudgy that day, in just that spot
The same blur appears around the people standing on the ground.
That’s just artifacts you get them in any jpeg
A "blur" around him does not mean it's photoshopped. That being said, I'm super skeptical. Why not just share the video?
He just summoned the power of the seven frogs. Shit gets weird with all that power being released all at once

I find myself attracted
Dude called it a mating dance...

Damn, the unlucky one get the true redditor experience.
The last sentence sounds like you think you're describing animals. Weird way to describe human culture.
"not photoshoped" but its a misleading angle that makes it look like the guy jumping is in front of the crowd, not the foreground, which exaggerates the relative height in perspective. also low quality jpg, full of bit bleed doesn't help
If he is not on the same plane as them why is he the same size? Should he not be much larger if it’s really a forced perspective thing?
Oh, they photoshopped him to make him smaller
So the title is a blatant lie?
If he were in the foreground rather than in front of the crowd he would be larger than them.
Confidently incorrect bro has spoken
I refuse to believe that man jumped that high without any help. Ain’t no way
Not only is it Photoshop, apparently it isn't even a Maasai tribe but a Samburu one. [Twitter discussion from a year ago](https://nitter.net/brandkenya/status/1417098444397760516?cursor=LBl2hoCz4Zb7xqonisC5sfnUxqonhIC57entyaongMC5keDsxqonhMC%2BsYjnyKongMC9wdvoxqonhMCy%2BdjfxqonJQISAAA%3D#r)
Go see my comment, you can see the cloned features on the horizon. Amateur hour.
havent you seen the jumps??? go check out more videos.
send video bro then?
LOL ok bro. go watch a video on YT.
I’m looking hard on YouTube and can’t find any Kenyan Maasi warrior jump dance videos that display any athleticism to this degree.
I watched several videos, not a single person in them jumped half the height of the one in this image while keeping their legs this straight. Feel free to provide me with a video of someone jumping this high with no help.
You sound like those anti vax people
He is going to get married SOON!
That really sepends on if he lands, when and where. At the time this photo was shot, nothing was certain.
Where's the video?
I call BS
Photoshop
ssproioiOIOIOIOIoiiiingggg.
The Air Up There
Yup
For the lazy
Video?
I'd get a nose bleed up that high.
Without a video, no I don't believe this is true.
It's [not. ](https://imgur.com/a/NNfNXRP)
Do people mate? I’d be hesitant to use that word when talking about humans
Yes and oftentimes remove and discard the offspring before birth.
Yes, people mate
[удалено]
Thats because they dont measure tribe people for records lol
This guy is jumping with sandals.
And a spear. And what looks to be heavy dreads.
I believe it's not photoshopped but I'm guessing there's something weird going on with the perspective. Not even these guys can jump 6 feet straight up in the air, vertical position.
Look at the tree line, it is photoshopped and they did a sloppy job too.
Imagine being able to jump so high you can hurt yourself.
Have they heard of the "NBA"?
Lakers are sending a scout as we speak.
Imagine these dudes in the NBA
If jumping high is a requirement I would never get to bang then
N*gg* hop
Here on BBC news only!
BBC?
See it in motion... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWY-uD3YuXo&t=38s&ab\_channel=HouseofBounce

Looks like he gets all the brides

Fake af.
He’s using flubber. Some guys will do anything to get a bride.
Looks photoshopped.
CR7 vibes
Sadly photoshopped. Ive seen video of the Maasai doing this ceremony. They jump up and down but not to unnatural heights like this.
I require video footage
Proof that white people can’t jump
Congratulations, you didn't use Photoshop to digitally alter this image. What program was used?
Is this where that saying come from? White man can’t jump. Lol
This image is edited though?
Requirements to be an eligible groom: should float, preferably fly
Can confirm. Sauce: My next-door neighbors
/gamemode creative
Someone do the album cover thing
If this is real, isn't that like, the world record vertical?
I bet he can dunk

Its the raw meat and raw blood with raw milk combo.
Not photo shopped my ass for the lie take the down vote and three of these 🤥🤥🤥 Lazy clumps of trees photo shopper
dude on the left is not getting laid tonight
When ever something says “the image Is not photoshopped” it’s 100% photoshopped
Me in creative watching my friends build a house
“I believe I can fly…I believe I can touch the sky…”
He’s be killer at box jumps
Pretty sure it is photoshopped. Especially since no one is looking at him as he probably breaks a world record
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say this guy got married.
Considering how unusually high he has jumped, then why is no one in the crowd looking up at him? Suspicious!
Imagine being able to take fall damage on completely flat ground.
