Even through modesty is not in his vocabulary, others lack superlatives to describe him. In the press he is being called "The World's best Jumper", "Jump-Guru", "Jump-King of Holland", "Top-Jumper", etc. Fact is that 20 year old Patrick Mantizz from the southern Dutch town of Eindhoven gained immense popularity in no time with his hobby: Internet videos on You Tube and Google Video. His Jump-Tutorials taught a whole generation how to Jump, his Jump style is commonly accepted as the standard and with his large following Patrick Jumpen is seen as one of the co-creators of reality responsible for the explosive growth Jump has experienced in little over six months.

With his debut single "Holiday"(03-'07), Patrick managed to reach the Dutch singles charts top 10 without any outside marketing and support by radio or TV . When the single was debuted on Dutch radio, it was already high and dry in the top 5: purely on its own strength, exposed only through the Internet. As undisputed authority when it comes to Jump-Tutorials, a DVD was the obvious next step: " Jumpen Doe Je Zo!" ("Jump: How-To!") sold over 50,000 copies in the Netherlands within the first three weeks, reaching a gold status. Now also available in French ("Jump, ca se fait comme ca!") it sold over 100,000 copies altogether. Patrick Jumpen's second single, "The Secret" reached a 13 position in the singles charts!
