I heard a bone snap |
| [00:16.74] |
When I was only about 9 |
| [00:18.10] |
The laws of gravitation |
| [00:19.88] |
Were in advance a while |
| [00:21.68] |
But not long before they taught me a lesson |
| [00:24.01] |
In tough skin jeans like a Japanese Hessian |
| [00:27.29] |
I was 70 pounds |
| [00:28.88] |
Learning to fly |
| [00:30.65] |
I knew I couldn't do if I didn't try |
| [00:33.64] |
We called it "the field" |
| [00:35.51] |
Where we used to hang out |
| [00:36.99] |
A field of alfalfa in the back of a house |
| [00:40.06] |
With a slice of an old oak tree |
| [00:42.41] |
And a twelve-foot plank |
| [00:44.00] |
Put the board on top |
| [00:45.59] |
We got a flying machine! |
| [00:47.29] |
Oh my god! We can teeter on this! |
| [00:50.27] |
Or make a lever that can shoot me |
| [00:51.77] |
Into orbit and space! |
| [00:53.25] |
I've seen the circus |
| [00:54.84] |
I know how they do it |
| [00:56.18] |
With bent knees |
| [00:57.44] |
You got to jump |
| [00:58.68] |
Like you would from a trampoline |
| [01:00.12] |
|
| [01:12.98] |
We got up a ladder |
| [01:15.24] |
And the heaviest kid (5) |
| [01:16.69] |
He would climb up top (4) |
| [01:18.38] |
And count down like a (3) rocket ship |
| [01:20.78] |
To (2) fly me up |
| [01:21.06] |
He'd get to (1) T-minus zero |
| [01:23.88] |
(0) Before he jumped |
| [01:25.81] |
And I was shot high in a vertical catapult |
| [01:27.86] |
Straight up and down |
| [01:29.70] |
I remember the view |
| [01:31.34] |
From over top of the house |
| [01:33.99] |
|
| [01:35.28] |
Gravity seems weak |
| [01:37.58] |
Until you look down |
| [01:39.40] |
|
| [01:51.10] |
I got in position |
| [01:53.17] |
I hadn't echoed the form |
| [01:55.01] |
If the judges were present |
| [01:56.71] |
They'd be holding up score cards |
| [01:59.00] |
Of 9's and 10's |
| [02:00.93] |
I must've lost a couple points |
| [02:02.49] |
For the landing I did |
| [02:04.15] |
I heard a loud snap |
| [02:05.64] |
But it didn't hurt |
