The king of stop, drop, and roll

Actually, the whole stopping part pretty much eludes him.

My friend Chris Fehnel isn’t so good at landing jumps.  You may remember we did some jumping at the State Park a few weeks back.  The photo of us may make it appear like we’re all great athletes and that our skills are top-notch.  Not so much.

Every single time Chris jumped he rolled as in the above animation.  He blames pain in his knees.  I blame coordination. You be the judge.

    I think it’s a bit of both!

    How can your feet look like they are about to land and then you end up flipping over backwards, hah.

    Andrew: I think there is a frame or two missing in this, but I couldn’t find them. He did hit his feet, but then immediately rolled backwards. He never “stuck” the landing.
