Trying To Learn The Shepherd's Leap (Salto del Pastor) | Quirky Customs

[@mazebased]

You should have chosen a reporter who actually works out and likes working out

[@shayrockmusic]

For real. That guy couldn't wait to get back to his hotel

[@dweuromaxx]

Guys😅

[@briefcaseblues6061]

Way more polite than I was about to be. Glad I seen your comment before posted. You've said it all ✊ Jeez what a wimp.

[@SmokeeeTreees]

Exactly lol this guy………

[@artistaloca4]

@@dweuromaxx Well, really- we wanted to see it being done, not you whining to the camera. Good for you for trying! 🙄

[@sheltonking1]

bro was leaping like 2 feet down 😂 and scared

[@jackg2630]

Why didn’t you show even one example of them jumping ? Entire video about this and not a single clip if someone doing it. Also get a répéter that likes doing physical stuff this guy was a total bummer

[@morescodesup2087]

Yeah where is the professionals

[@artistaloca4]

@@morescodesup2087 They were right in front of him, but, you know, his channel and all 😕

[@BarthiArgento]

Would have been more interesting with some footage of how it‘s done properly

[@samparkerSAM]

Hello from New Orleans Louisiana USA. My Ancestors are from the Spanish Islands... as children my brothers and I loved ❤ practicing this! Our father would teach us to traverse streams and balance ourselves. I remember going to Idaho and using a staff on a mountain for the very first time 😊. Thank you for sharing this 🙏.

[@dweuromaxx]

That is awesome!

[@OriginalNuckChorris]

Are you from St. Bernard's Parish?

[@lulumoon6942]

Much credit to the host for being so game to try, but safe enough to listen to his hosts. It was a beautiful visit with great people, but obviously challenging weather. Good outdoors sports men and women know when to call it a day to live to see another! 👍🙏🌈

[@WanderOnward]

Would've much rather seen an actual pole Vaulter go with them and try it

[@jackg2630]

Yeah, entire 6 min video and they didn’t show a single person doing it

This is mountain parkour with sticks. All three of my favorite things. I need to try this.

[@saltando6345]

Buen trabajo, felicidades. Gracias por la difusión de nuestras tradiciones

[@Bluedragon2513]

I don't see why others are bringing up so many issues with the reporter. Yeah, the leaps are not the greatest, but the reporter is mostly there to report on a custom rather than actively learning it. It is also to say that the training area which they had seems to be restricted to the single small jump shown as opposed to the real mountain with drastically increased heights downwards (with the addition of the coach not letting him go further). Nice video; achieved your pre-set title and expectations and that's all we should expect

[@dweuromaxx]

Thanks, Anthony :) Indeed, our reporter was definitely 'trying out' the leap, rather than mastering it🤪

[@JohnBlatt71]

But he didn't even film the actual Shepard's Leap. Not one time. It was a total fail of a video.

[@meta5175]

@@JohnBlatt71what we want: here’s the people doing Shepard’s leap, here’s the leap, this is how they hold the staff, here are some interesting facts, if you wanna learn this is how you start finding a coach… What we got: wow you group of people do this every week this is insane, ach this is dangerous I don’t wanna die lol, ach it’s windy, ach it’s raining, ach I’m tired, ach I’m hungry but at least there’s something to eat, ach I wanna go home😅

[@JohnBlatt71]

@@meta5175 yep

[@phazei]

Would have been really cool to see someone mildly athletic who's a trekker to actually try this out and see how they do

[@jakeniemiec8559]

It's fun. I tried it by making a pole using a 10' wooden curtain, and outfitted the tip with a copper plate. I was able to climb into this canyon with ease that is generally impassable!

[@jakeniemiec8559]

Thanks you for your visit to Gran Canaria and transmition our culture and traditions old art.

[@dweuromaxx]

Thank you too!

[@xandroromualdez5071]

Hsve you guys considered revisiting this? I just remembered this video 2 years later since the concept of the shepherds leap is so interesting!

[@SaltandoRiscos]

Bonito video. Tendrás que volver y en poco tiempo, serás un buen saltador. Felicidades 👏👏

[@ObamaoZedong]

That's neat and all, but that terrain is perfectly walkable.

[@BamMartinez]

That’s dope

[@samdavies8564]

Anyone know where to buy one of these poles?

[@dweuromaxx]

They are hand made and difficult to get.. You might be able to get one if you make the effort to travel to the Canary Islands yourself. 🌞⛱

[@jesussanchez5758]

your subtitles were wrong when the old herder was speaking

[@lS-qp6zq]

Lovely place, spectacular climate. Awesome unique skill featured.

[@knightmare3856]

Fascinating

[@thebathing8pe300]

You coulda made those jumps without the pole 😂😂😂

[@africanogloriosus7474]

No sabía que se interesaran por esta tradición fuera de las islas Canarias. :-O

What a great exciting leap from 2 feet lol. I've ollied higher.

You and me both!

"Trying to learn the shepherd's leap" were you expecting him to master it in same video

This was a half assed challenge

[@dweuromaxx]

The Shepherd's Leap is notoriously difficult..!

[@ChatGpttales]

@@dweuromaxx wow I appreciate the response. I think you could relive this leap and manage a 2m jump. Million views worthy

[@dweuromaxx]

*sigh* books flight to Canary Islands

[@thathobbitlife]

Whoa man that's tough stuff

[@TheReeShow]

I would be scared of splinters more than dying tbh

[@dweuromaxx]

@Pwettypwushie Just make sure to get a pair of tweezers if you plan doing it.. 😆

[@tehgehguan2445]

Did anyone know what type (name) of wood they use to make the staff?

[@dweuromaxx]

@Teh Gehguan Different types of wood are used such as the wood of pine, red beech, almond, peach, eucalyptus or ash tree. It is also important from which part of the tree the staff is made.

[@MikaelFresco]

Perfect video, dunno why people are hating when the reporter was reporting on the subject and culture rather than attempting to be the best at it. Earned a subscriber though!

[@stonedbori840]

Am I buggin or does he sound puerto rican? 3:54

[@sergiofernandez4566]

Well, it make sense if you think that a lot of Canary Islanders went to Cuba, Puerto Rico and Texas during the XVI- XVII centuries

[@envisionCamusa]

This was a bit anti-climatic.

[@jekyllhyde374]

All that guy did was jump off a 4 inch rock .. and landed like he did something …

Really nice. But you should have chosen Gran Canaria instead of Tenerife. Gran Canaria is waaaay better in everything: amazing and more varied landscapes, beaches simple on another level than those of Tenerife, the best cultural and social life on the archipelago, the indisputable business centre of the isles as well, the best shopping... Go visit Gran Canaria next time, you'll thank me 🇮🇨🇪🇸😍👌

What a waste of a trip... If I was there I would have learned it with them. Do it as much as I could. Have a couple of bruises and scratches to tell my story with. That would have been worth the trip. At the end of the day, I guess this guy did his job, and that's about it.
