Great video Nick, Loved it.
I hope people appreciate Ronaldo's capability even more. Ronaldo jumped off from grass which was soft., and he his forehead (not the top of his head) hit the center of the ball. Actually he had to use his forehead to hit the center of the ball to achieve that goal. His max height might be considerably higher than that.
Nick haven’t watched you in ages man but was thinking of you today and now you upload! Was wondering how are you getting on with your 500 dead 5 minute mile challenge
Hey Nick, big brazilian fan here. Love your videos so much, specially these ones that doesnt envolve wheights or run. Can you do something with swimmings? BEst regards from Brazil
The coolest thing about this video was watching the crowd build in the background.
The power needed to jump that high is insane! One more thing on my list of “Nick made me have to work on” athletics
Definitely a challenge that needs repeating at another location. Anyone can try.. Lots of fun.. 👍
If you've researched on vertical jump you know hitting 9'6 is RUTHLESS without being warmed up
From this video we all know how insane ronaldo is 😱
I loved his videos ❤
I love the way you raised the stakes to $500😂❤
Props to the guy who hit the ball that’s talented
Great video Nick. I was wondering if you can make a video on testerone levels lowering with endurance sports since you trained hard and competed at the Olympics. And like your perspective of and ways maybe we can limit the effects of impacting us. Thanks.

His highest vertical ever being 42 inches in an angle is quite impressive. He could do consistent 40 inches

what they don't realize is how much harder it is for Ronaldo. Imagine a ball flying towards you at about 80-90km/hour , then defenders fighting you off, trying to outbalance or push you over when jumping.
Finally with the goat 🐐 challenge
This is one best challenge related to football ⚽⚽
I am at 8:39 into the video, and when you said $500.00, I said to myself "get Ronaldo himself out there to hit it...." (LOL)
Ah yes, the champion is back!
Love your videos
What's impressive is that Ronaldo is 2 inches shorter, used shoes that give less height adventage than the one in the video and managed to hit the ball at the middle section at that height. That's mad. Btw respect for the last dude! 👏

What makes Cristiano's header so special is not just the pure vertical factor (which probably could be achieved no sweat by several basketball players), but the fact that his jumping technique makes him "float" on air for a split second which helps him score those crazy headers. That's no bull, it's a scientific fact, it was researched on the documentary "Ronaldo to the Limit".

you gotta leap from one foot some distance ahead to time it right. Two footed from right underneath will never get you that high

The ball needs to be hit with near forehead for actual scoring the ball to the net. That means the jumps has to be higher than the Nicks challenge height. Which will be dam difficult to achieve. Ronaldo’s jump is a super human jump. 👍
It pays to wear shoes. Keep that in mind while getting fit!! 😂

The difference between all jumps and Ronaldo's jump is he looked like he floated on air and stayed there waiting for the ball plus he was over the ball so as to get the right direction.
Balls to the face = $100 ! 👏🏼👏🏼
he is basically asking for NBA level of elevation in a college campus to a group of random students
