Post #50. Yay!
My friends and I like to dabble in the art of jumping over large objects.
This includes tables, chairs, boxes, trash cans, sticks, little people, etc. We take it all as a kind of manly challenge. Are you man enough to jump over that chair? We ask each other.
Whenever I fail to jump over an object, I always seem to fail before I even reach it. Aka, I trip and smash into it. The other day this happened. We where trying to jump over a bench length wise. I ran as hard and as fast as I could, RUN RUN RUN TRIP FLY THROUGH THE AIR LAND ON BENCH ROLL ROLL ROLL BACK FLIP LAND ON BACK. "I'm OK!" And I really was.. considering how catastrophic the failure was.
Later that day we decided to push ourselves to the MAX. We went into the gym at my church, grabbed a trash can and some safety mats. We put the trash can upside down and the mats behind it. Then, we put a basketball on top of the trash can for extra challenge. The total height was a little under 4 feet. Challenge accepted.
Surprisingly, we made it! Later we decided to add even MORE challenge by adding a small table after the trash can.. And we also made it!
Yeap, we're jumping masters.
