Pre-jump...

"We jump because we are proudly 4th and 10, a super social co-ed football team. We jump because we look like bananas, but we're not. We jump because we just finished our season with a perfect 0-7 record... because winning isn't everything, and we're living proof."
        -Brett, Dave, Ben, Roger, Ashley, Tony, Lory, Trey, Bao Anh, Pete, Wes, and Ned"Wasted Face."

In preparation...

"We jump  because we love the summer and we jump for the beauty of the river. We jump for Virginia forests, forestry, and foresters.
We jump because we are the JUMPING ELITE! Salute!
We jump because we like cookouts and fire-coal baseball, and last but not least, we jump for Buttons."
        -Collin, Dave, Kathleen, John, Matt, Paula, Erin, Isaac, Joren, and John (and Buttons the dog)
