If you're in the Zaraniq tribe of Yemen and you want to show off, jump over a camel. Or better yet, three camels at the same time. According to a tribal legend, the practice began generations ago as a dare between two men. Now it's a sport of demanding athleticism.

Yes, there's a small mound. But that's still a lot of camel to cover in a jump.

Take away the mound of dirt that he launches off of (you can see it on the final jump)and then I will be really impressed.

It looks like the first camel's saddle is six feet above the ground and the last jumper's center of gravity cleared it by three feet. That is a full foot over the world's record! Someone needs to teach these guys the Fosbury Flop.
