9:14 Reminds me of the Lethal Weapon movies. "I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!" 😄

[@bricil68]

The meaning of fierljeppen is to jump far in Frisian language, which is related to the English to leap and the Dutch to walk. And you pronounce it as fierl-jeppen. In other words, it is the Pole Vault across a narrow or a wide ditch.

[@Wolfe1966]

You pronounce it like fier-ljeppen fier=ver ljeppen = (polsstok) springen. Leap lijkt niet voor niets op ljeppen

@@Wolfe1966 Oud-Engels heeft heel veel gelijkenissen met Fries. Als er gelijkenissen zijn, dan heeft dat meestal wel een soortgelijke oorsprong, maar niet altijd. Internet zegt dit hierover:
Het Engelse woord "leap" en het Friese woord "ljeppen" delen dezelfde oorsprong, afkomstig van het Proto-Germaanse werkwoord "hlaupan", wat "springen" betekent. Dit verklaart de overeenkomst in betekenis en klank tussen deze twee woorden.
Aan de andere kant is het Nederlandse woord "loop" ook afgeleid van het Proto-Germaans woord "hlaupan", maar met een iets andere betekenis: "rennen" of "lopen". Hoewel "loop" en "leap" vergelijkbare klanken hebben, zijn ze dus afkomstig van verschillende betekenissen van hetzelfde Proto-Germaanse woord, terwijl "ljeppen" dichter bij "leap" staat in zowel betekenis als oorsprong.

In my youth (in this time of the year) we’d go into the fields after school with a wooden pole and jump across canals/ditches with some friends. But I never did it with the sandbed.

[@sergeleon1163]

Even before knowing this was a sport which is/was mostly from the province Friesland, hence the word Fierljeppen is Frisian. As a kid growing up in the province Zuid-Holland with many farm fields near our home, back than we kids from the neighborhood often went to the fields and jumped the canals between the fields both with and without a wooden pole. I still remember one day clearly as my mom was always so caring and very patiently with me, I fell into the water and went back home for dry clothes, but after getting wet for the third time that day my mom had enough of it :) but later we could laugh at it and she liked I was very persistent at trying something I enjoyed.

Well mr Highly.. Frisians have another awesome sport also a tinguebreaker.. Skutsjesilen. A sailing race in the Frisian lakes with old freight sailingships built and owned by sailing families, representing with their ship a city or village. These ships are close o or even older then a 100 years, and again, most amazing..where once freight haulers

[@mcoenen8492]

Don't forget "Kaatsen", try to explain that to Highly 😂😂😂

[@raisan5989]

Isn't it the same with speedskating, we used it to go from A to B in the winter when the water was frozen and we couldn't use ships. Nowadays it is an Olympic sport

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

It was never ment as a “ sport” but a way to just jump,over a water to reach a other piece of land.

[@Linda-hs1lk]

Zo begonnen alle sporten.

[@rick-2414]

another Dutch sport is called 'Klootschieten' wich is a true teamsport.
