You're not gonna see this very often. 19-year-old Juan Miguel Echevarria basically jumped over the entire long jump sand pit in the Diamond League...

And apparently the condition were perfect to do this. Per flotrack.org...
quote:
A combination of superb jumping and a +2.1 wind aided Juan Miguel Echevarria to an absolutely monstrous 8.83-meter/28.96-foot result—the best all-conditions mark in 23 years.

Looks like maybe (?) he gets penalized a little by the edge of the sand pit forcing his body to rock back and deduct a few inches off his jump.
