“Athletic Endeavors”

You have to take sports challenges where you find them. They are not all found on the grass fields or hardwood courts of play. Yes, sometimes the field of play is a school bus. Often those that ride the bus have an opportunity to demonstrate their athletic skill in a rather hot and upcoming, little known sport. There are those that use the flat footed approach and hop, rabbit style. There is the more stylistic skip, which is achieved with a one foot takeoff and a one foot landing. Then there is the gymnastic approach this requires the athlete to grip the back of opposite seats with their hands lifting themselves and swing forward. It is the most athletic and can result in higher scores due to difficulty factors. Like most sports, participants are eagerly cheered on by enthusiastic onlookers and a moan of “Ohhhh” goes up with each unsuccessful attempt. It may not be well know, but for the next Olympics we will be suggesting every bus driver’s favorite sport “Jump the Puke”. The main drawback to the sport is field prep. This is usually achieved with a quickly eaten breakfast and bumpy roads.
