Pakistan Tik Tok star Asif Magsi, who is known for his long jumps, finally gets attention from Athletics Federation of Pakistan (AFP) after his video of jumping over 11 motorcycles went viral on social media.

The video made rounds across social media platforms today (Monday), where Asif aka Hero Pakistani can be seen jumping over 11 motorcycles.

Following the video, the President of AFP Major General Akram Sahi (retired), who himself was the long jump champion of Pakistan, contacted the Thatta native and invited him for further training.

Speaking about Asif, the president AFP said, “This is a great moment for me as I was also the champions of Pakistan in long jump. I’m impressed with his talent, and could be a great asset for Pakistan.”

“He has a great potential, and the first question I asked was is he every got injured?” said former champion. “Thankfully, his answer was no, and I advised him to stay safe till we meet in Lahore, as I have already invited him.”

Meanwhile, Asif said he developed the skill of jumping while making Tik Tok videos. “I wanted to join Pak-Army since childhood. So I started making videos, which based on national songs, and each passing day my passion of jumping is increased so as my jumps.”

If he isn't, he can't be too far off from qualifying for the Olympic final.

World record long jump is 8.95m.

Carl Lewis has 8.90m. He was a truly great athlete, not many can jump that far and also run under 10 seconds in the 100m.

Its hard to say but i've watched his back a few times and I would guess he jumped around 7m over the motorbikes. This is still a good jump esp with no real coaching (assuming).

The lad has a great technique and is blessed with such skill. Pakistan athletic team should call this lad asap and give him some proper help with coaching. Maybe not a future world record holder but has the potential to win a medal for Pak at the world champs or olypmics.

In the early 2000s, Altaf Hussain saw Jackie Chan perform stunts in Hollywood movies and instantly fell in love with parkour.

Fast forward to 2020 and he's a parkour expert himself and the frontman of Hazara Parkour, a team of 15 young men in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Hazara who are grabbing Pakistan's attention with their climbing and jumping skills.

"Parkour means complete control over your body," Hussain told SAMAA TV on Monday. "When you jump from a building, you're bound to fall. The trick is to keep your body safe."

The Hazara Parkour team was formed in 2007 and has featured in Pakistani movie Teefa in Trouble and a promotional event organised by Nestle Fruita Vitals. They use grounds, large fields and tall buildings to practice their skills.

Hussain has been part of the team for eight years and is looking for a breakthrough to become a professional stuntman in movies.

He feels that injuries are unavoidable while practicing parkour, but those who love it don't overthink about getting hurt. However, the nearest hospital in the Hazara district is an hour away and Hussain feels that lack of healthcare facilities in the area are stopping his team from reaching their full potential.
