"We're jumping for sand dunes, salt flats, and Death Valley National Park. I think everyone knows it as the lowest point in the US or maybe the hottest spot in America. I didn't have high expectations, but it's completely amazing. Everyone should go. Just, probably not in the summer." - Kevin California

"I jump because I LOVE DANCE." - Jacky Rancho Cucamonga, California  I jump because "…I finally got to put my toes in the Pacific Coast of California; …I am celebrating 20 years of marriage with the best husband on the planet (who took the picture); …I haven’t jumped since I gave up dancing 7 years ago; …I needed to let go and express JOY!" -Lisa, vacationing in San Francisco, July 2012 San Francisco, California 
"Each time my husband and I travel away from our home in NJ we jump, and I must say jumping never disappoints and always ends in us laughing so hard! I jump because life is too short not to! Jumping brings out the child in everyone and I SO enjoy making others feel good!" - Bridget San Francisco, California 
"I Jump Because..I feel free while I'm up in the air...no one can catch you." - Jacky Jump for joy and happiness, for fun and for love! Dance, Sisters, Me, Activities. Rancho Cucamonga, California  "My last jump (also featured on JumpBecause) resulted in a shattered heel bone and many years of healing. Today, I went airborne again and it felt exhilarating, especially with the landing in soft sand instead of the hard concrete of a tennis court." - Franz Photograph by Jennifer Vail California This photo was sent as a submission for our current Jump Because Challenge + Contest. As the contest continues, we will be posting some of our favorites. Jumpers were asked to submit a photo that best represents this quote from jumping inspiration, Philippe Halsman. "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears."  "We jump because we can create new art with our bodies." -Caroline MOCA Downtown Los Angeles, California Check out the original image and more images here: http://dailymarauder.com/2011/07/31/jump-la-art-in-the-streets-9/ | 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."

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.

Jump Because was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
One of Jump Because's founders attended MSU as an undergraduate and we're all proud to see JB featured among other Spartan news!  Jump Because in
