What if he perfectly jumped 5 feet, 70 times in a row? ...actually, the man must have had "skis" on, but what if he had landed without their protection? Would that have been a slightly imperfect and harmful landing?
yeah... last time i tried that my skis came off when i landed and man it sucked
the hint just gives it away...
I was thinking that he was diving.
That is a huge dive supermew. I have never skied before, so I didn't get it.
I thought he was an astronaut on the moon, or on a spacewalk.
