The highest max vertical jump ever recorded was just set in June 2025—and it happened on the Vert Trainer.
Vertical jump testing has always been one of the highlights of Dunk Camp. Athletes get to find out if the last several months of training are going to pay off with a new PR—and sometimes, history is made.
Darius Clark’s First World Record
Back in 2022, Darius Clark (@kingdac) came to Dunk Camp with one goal: break the Guinness World Record for Max Vertical Jump. With a jaw-dropping 50" max vertical, he became the official World Record Holder.
The 2025 Jump-Off: A New Record on the Vert Trainer
Fast forward to June 2025, and Darius returned with even bigger goals. But this time, it wasn’t just him. Facing off in a 1v1 “jump-off” format, Darius went head-to-head with another elite athlete—Isaiah Espinoza, who had also recorded a 50" vertical.
The stage was set. The Vert Trainer was the measuring tool. The rules were simple: jump higher, ring the bell, and claim the crown. The result? A new World Record Max Vertical Jump of 51" by Darius Clark officially set on the Vert Trainer in front of a live crowd at Dunk Camp 2025. 🔥🔥🔥
Could Vertical Jump Become Its Own Sport?
The jump-off format was electric. And, the Vert Trainer keeps things pure: it’s not about height or long arms. It’s simply who can jump the highest and ring the 🔔!
That simplicity is exactly why we believe this could evolve into a brand-new sport. Imagine athletes competing head-to-head around the world in Max Vertical Jump contests—where the only thing that matters is raw jumping power.
Want to Jump Higher Yourself?
Whether you’re chasing your own PR or just want to add more inches to your vertical, the best way to improve is to measure, track, and train consistently. That’s exactly what the Vert Trainer was built for.
Train anywhere
Measure every jump
Track your progress over time
And have a blast while doing it
If the world’s best jumpers trust the Vert Trainer, imagine what it can do for you.
