"I drove across Australia in a 'Bushcamper Ute'~ had to take a jump break to stretch my legs. This country is Awesome! :)" -Empress Ali Broken Hill West, New South Wales, Australia 
"I jump because.... With my wife and family overseas I am really getting bored to the point of regressing to childlike state (not that, that's very difficult for me!). After browsing some youtube stuff I came across a website of some asian girl who takes a picture a day appearing to levitate by jumping in the air in some really cool and calm looking poses. So basically it made me laugh to myself and pass a little time." - Steve Brisbane, Australia 
"This was taken back in 2006 while I was vacationing in Australia. I was with a couple of friends, Marco included, who was, and I believe still is, a very unquiet person! He is swiss and I'm from Brazil, and it's been sometime since we last talked. He's become a father already! Well, we were talking about many things that day, including how lucky we were for being there and having such a great time. Our motto there was: 'We are very lucky!' So, out of the blue he came up with the idea of making this photo. Since it can hurt a little, I had one shot, and that came out." -Luiz Australia  "I take photos of people jumping because it captures a unique moment of emotion. One of joy, exhiliration or one of being afraid to hit the ground once more." -Carla http://www.flickr.com/photos/59583648@N07/ Sydney, Australia  "Basically, this photo was taken of my friend Gracie when we went to Apollo Bay together. I wanted to take some photos of her in this area of the beach just over a little stream with some rocks. It took about half an hour but we jumped from rock to rock to get across the water to this little island area. This was the final leap over water before reaching it and it was about a metre of water! She was terrified and decided to just jump screaming. I call this her 'leap of faith' because it was like she let go of all her inhibitions after this we just spent an hour on this beautiful island of sand watching the sun set. It reminds me of the fun we were having and the innocence of youth. I think that when you jump it's like losing yourself for a second. Everything seems frozen in time. Looking at this photo makes me feel so carefree and impulsive, and reminds me of the exhilaration you feel when you jump." -Veronica Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia  "Jump because you can achieve unbelievable things with a leap of faith!" -Johannes Uluru, Australia   "I jump because I am a jumper!!! It was a beautiful sunset after a horrible car accident, everything looks so nice, all of us enjoyed the brand-new day." -Jade | Welcome to Jump Because!

 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.
