Yeah, I’m thinking about trying the 24″ box at CrossFit Central. Um…

I'm about two-thirds of the way through this detective thriller, and I'm hooked. It's set in modern Norway with flashbacks to WWII (catnip for me!) and features a somewhat grim hero that engenders empathy. I can't help pulling for the guy as I watch him struggle with his case and his life. The cast of characters is a realistic but motley crew, and it reminds me of other favorites set in cold, snowy climes: the Millenium Trilogy and Smila's Sense of Snow.
Recently finished...
I picked up this book after reading an interview with Lee Child (author of the Jack Reacher thrillers). He referred to The Lost as "the book of the century" and since I devour as much as I can about the Holocaust to try to make sense of it all, I decided I needed to read it immediately. Part memoir, part detective tale, this book was thoroughly engrossing. It's intelligent, annoying, moving, frustrating, and ultimately, rewarding and beautifully written. It challenged me in ways I didn't expect, and I was sad when it was finished.
That is insane!! Love it
Are you kidding!? I still do step-ups on the 24"! And, BTW, I don't feel guilty…
You can do it. I started training at a gym where we used 20 inchers, and now the new gym uses 24. I tire out quicker but the jumps were no problem, mostly mental. (and I'm heavy and short, for what it's worth)
Hey thanks for the props!

Ryan! I'm awestruck. When you can jump 64 inches, will you come to Austin and jump over me?! That would be cool.
Melissa,
It's a deal!! I'm orginally from Dallas, so I visit often.
Say hi to everyone at CC from friends at 801.
Thanks again for the props

I love watching videos of people doing insane box jumps, and Moody, yours just might be the most insane yet. (To fully divulge my geekdom, I watched this three times, jaw dropped, starry-eyed.)
I… have no words. Maybe f'n wicked will do.
How tall is this guy? On screen, he looks insanely LONG!
Thanks for all the comments!!
Anniebug, I am 5 foot 9. The box jump is almost 91 percent of my height.
That's incredible…if only I had a couple more inches on me and a little more power in my legs, and then maybe I could be a beastly jumper.
(smacking my head against palm)..Um why I am having issues with the 20' box? That it! I'm on a mission!
