I used to be unable to jump, but then I did Morris dancing. I learned how to jump normally at 27.

What happened when you tried to jump? I can't picture this.

I could spring from my ankles, but getting my knees involved made me mess up the timing and I got no lift.

What in the world. Thanks, this simultaneously explains so much and so little.
