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."

"From Russia, with love." -Kevin

Red Square, Moscow, Russia

Giving Thanks 2011: Challenge + Contest Winner

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.

A wonderful JumpBecause story:
"I jump because life is for living. I want to scream out that my life has not yet faded into the gray background of monotony and drudgery. Responsibility and realism may tie me to a staid facade most of the day, most of the days, so lost are the ways of youth and frivolity. Then escape comes, an afternoon away, time to walk without purpose, unrestrained. Camera ever handy to document the absurdity, I protest my earthbound state with fleeting bursts of freedom. The air rushes past. Childhood gives a fleeting wink. My body sings. I jump."-Timothy, Benicia, California

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.
