Jumping: More Difficult Than One Might Think...

One night, Ben and I were sitting around and I decided I want a picture of me jumping and I want the picture to show me in mid-air. I thought, you know, this would make a really funny if not cool picture... Ben sat on the couch with the camera and said, "When I say go, you have to immediately jump." My response: "No problem."

1st Attempt

2nd Attempt

3rd Attempt

4th Attempt

So, Ben says, "How hard could this be?" I tell him, "You try it and let's see how many attempts it takes for you to nail it!!"

Ben: 1st Attempt

I told Ben, "You got lucky. Let's see if you can do it again!" Ben's response: "No problem."

Ben: 2nd Attempt

I could not believe what I was seeing. I said, "Ok, Ok, I see what you did. Let me try it again and I will get it, no doubt, this time." Ben reminded me to jump when he says "Go" and not a second later.

5th Attempt

6th Attempt

7th Attempt

8th Attempt

I DID IT!!!

I tend to think I accomplished this extreme skill out of lots of practice and sheer determination but reality says that, statistically speaking, it was about time...
