I note on the website how they say, “Find a hard surface” and then list “tarmac” as one of them. (Must be a British thing? Like ironmonger instead of hardware store?)
Of course real “tarmac” isn’t used much anymore in most countries, it’s been replaced by asphalt.
According to wikipedia: “The airport at Wick in Caithness, Scotland is one of the few airports that still has a real Tarmac runway.”
Perhaps we should all take a flight to Scotland and do our jumping there?
all valid concerns. The real question for me is whether they’ll use the Van Halen song “Jump”, House of Pain’s “Jump Around” or the Kris Kross hit (in which Kris Kross will make you Jump) as their anthem.

I vote for the Stones’ “Jumpin Jack Flash,” myself.

My suggestion: the Pointer Sisters’ “Jump! For My Love.” There’s even a lyric about how it’s “getting hotter, oh baby.”

Oh yeah, Pointer Sisters it is!

Come on now… if you want to play that way, let’s not forget the lyrics to Jumping Jack Flash contain the words:
fire, hurricane
driving rain, and
gas! gas! gas!
Then, after we all JUMP and save the planet, Mick croons, “It’s all right now!”
I say we need to revote!
