"I'm a photographer and I live in Chubut-Patagonia, a place with beautiful beaches (among other landscapes). I had a very unusual photo shoot…with Young graduates…ufffff I didn’t knew what was going to happen but I made it alive!!! I had a hard time coming up with ideas for group photos…I draw a couple of the scenes, search the web (I didn’t find too much) and in the end, the kids knew what they wanted, a big jump!!!!" - Roxana Union Beach, Chubut, Argentina Outback down under jumping ;) 12/31/2011
"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 Laugh and pass the time - jump! 12/26/2011
"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 Jumper family jumps! 12/15/2011
"Be positive, it's the question." - The jumper family Basque Country, Spain Harbor jump! 12/06/2011
"I jump because it makes me look cool!" Antwerp, Belgium Jump for reaching a peak! 11/08/2011
"This is in Hangzhou Jiuxi area, cycling on a long road, finally reached a peak, very happy." Hangzhou Jiuxi, China Try anything once - jump! 11/03/2011
"These jumps are not the work of a long planning process they are the result of spontaneous actions, the feeling of saying 'yeah, lets try that today.' This is the way that my friends and I live and we think that the 'I'll try anything once' attitude is the best way to make the most of your life. So go out there and do something completely crazy. You might even enjoy it, but there's no way to know unless you try it." - Luke Fladbury, Worcestershire, United Kingdom Life's a beach 10/28/2011
"I jump because life's a beach, bro!" -Vanessa & Dylan Waipapa Point, South Island New Zealand | 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.  Jump Because in MSU Alumni Magazine
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
