The Jumping Frog Jubilee is an essential part of the annual fair in Calaveras County, California. Its history dates back to 1928 when the first contest was held, based on the story theme from Mark Twain’s novel “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cavaleras County”. Nowadays, the contesting teams come from all over the state to engage into a funny competition of making the frog jump as far as possible, usually by shouting at it.

Jumping ropes, level 80!

These are members of the UK’s ProBASE base jumping team in Norway. Base jumpers jump off of stationary structures and then freefall for as long as they can before opening their parachute rather than of jumping out of an airplane.

These are people and animals that are just jumping. Some are jumping for joy, some are jumping for fun, some are jumping for sport, but mostly they are just jumping. They are awesome jumps.

Surely, this hole is not called a black one. It is Dean’s Blue Hole. But the base jumping is breathtaking and for real. We had this video before, but not many people watched it, and it is worth seeing. It shows the world champion freediver Guillaume Nery jumping underwater at the world’s largest sinkhole on Bahamas. The video has been filmed entirely “on breath”.
