 "As an avid skier jumping in the ski boots needed to be tried out as well. You really need put some effort in getting up in the air cause they do weigh a bit and aren't made for that kind of jumping to be sure!" - Patrick April 2010 Verbier, Switzerland Add Comment  "Here's my happy buddha jump ;-)" - Flavio, jumping around the world Switzerland  "I jumped because a friend inspired me to 'make it happen'" - Tiffany Mount Pilatus, Switzerland  "We jumped to celebrate the end of our big annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January. And because it was so beautiful!" - Robin Davos, Switzerland  "I jump because I LOVE Lucerne, Switzerland!" - Jerianne Lucerne, Switzerland   "I jump in my hotel room because it was the day to jump in Lugano! And then I jump in Lugano because it was my first time in Switzerland!" -Anton Lugano, Switzerland  "Unfortunately I do not know much...about this famous photograph : they are four "rythmiciennes", students of Jaques-Dalcroze*, photographed by Frederick Boissonnas in 1913, I suppose in Geneva (Switzerland). The original title is "Les quatre danseuses" (The four dancers)." -Submitted by Jean-Christophe Note: This is a reprint of a favorite photograph. You can learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Émile_Jaques-Dalcroze  "I jump because I love the green." -Lukas    "I jumped because there is always a "first time" in life..." - Robby  Jump for getting out of a car fast! | 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 was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
