Snake Mountain leap! 11/11/2008
The Ridge (Jump)! 11/10/2008
"I love this one. Doesn't it look like I'm flying off the mountain? There's a 200 ft drop at the edge of the rocks. It has occurred to me that I'll probably perish one day from one of these jumps, but that thought hasn't stopped me yet. Knock on all kinds of wood." -Greg Perfect Storm Jump... 11/10/2008
"I jump because we're in the town that The Perfect Storm is based on!" -Cory Wake Forest jumping! 11/09/2008
"We jump for ridiculous stories, catching up, Mary's (of course!), being as silly as we were 7 years ago, for memories of free sweet tea in the Mag room. Most of all, we jump for this place where we all became friends. We also jump to congratulate Megan on her engagement and for being excited about all things in the future!" -Hanna, Kristine, Megan, Jolly, Kathryn, and Lily A berryfarm jump! 11/09/2008

In November of 2011, we asked jumpers to submit a photo that kept the spirit of Thanksgiving and this quote in mind:
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -Thornton Wilder This photo above, sent in by Rick from Utah, was chosen as the winner of this JB Challenge + Contest! His submission features his family, who was celebrating their first Christmas together in 5 years. As Rick put it, "That was a moment worth jumping." The complete story behind the jump and the original post can be viewed here. Current Favorite Jump:
A wonderful JumpBecause story: Jump Because... For a Cause!
In June 2010, JumpBecause hosted a Potluck-for-a-Cause fundraiser to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. People brought amazing food, made fun crafts, participated in a raffle, and listened to great local music... and of course JUMPED! Check out the highlights of our fundraiser on the "Causes" page.
