Ever since I moved down to Arizona in July, I have been itching to jump out of this window:
The view from the window:
On Sunday, March 21, my dream came true. Bryce, my roommates and I made a compilation of all of the mattresses in our condo. When we decided that there was no possible way we couldn't make it any safer, I jumped for it.
I will be the first to admit that it wasn't very impressive. The original pile of mattresses was probably four feet tall, which basically made the ground four feet closer. After everybody had jumped from this height (except for James... Loser), we began taking mattresses away, to make the fall more and more interesting.
James probably spent 20 minutes sitting on the edge of the window preparing himself to jump. Meanwhile, the rest of us were at the bottom with cushions, ready to brace his fall if he hit the mattresses and rolled off. He ended up chickening out, but he told me if i jumped from the top onto only one mattress, he would jump.
I did it.
He still backed out.
I totally got jipped.
It really wasn't that bad though. Maybe one of these days i will get the cojones to land on nothing but the tile. Maybe.
Anyway, here is a video of me jumping. Sorry, we didn't get a video of the single mattress jump.
And here is a video of Kevin. This one is kind of my personal favorite. He's a big guy, so he bounced off the mattress pile every time he tried to jump. The camera-phone video doesn't really do justice to any of these jumps, but its the only proof I have...
Until next time, stay classy
And thanks for stopping by.
But mostly, stay classy.
