Car Jumpin’ with Chris Bryant


Chris Bryant’s dream came true when he jumped a car -- in his very own Nike commercial! Check out his amazing leap on Nike.com! Nike Studio in NYC designed an official Car Jumper Nike that was sold on the Nike site.

Nike wowed Chris by jumping in with a $10,000 donation to the charity of his choice! On April 26, Chris will be handing out food and gift cards to families in need. Jump for joy!

Now Chris is going to make a quantum leap – he’s talking to producers about appearing on Sesame Street, and in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Hate to be the party pooper...but do we really want kids trying to immulate Chris and get killed in effort to jump a moving car. Folks, please think beyond the immediate moment and consider what happens next when we do STUPID (although amazing) stuff.

NIKE should be ashamed! Really? $10K gift from a $12 billion company. Ouch! I bet thet really hurt their bottom line and record earnings

Ellen...you too must take some responsibilty. When the kid on the streets of Philly is smashed into a windshield as he is trying to jump a car, maybe you will admit this is a DUMB idea.

I like Sesame Street!!!

Cookie monster was my favorite.. Big Bird.. Oscar.. and then Bert & Earnie!

I have a plastic cookie monster!!! He's blue! My fave color!

Chris has an amazing ability and very nice shoes!!!

Song lyrics.. "Jump.. Jump" in my head now!

Hola! Chris!!!

Hi Ellen,

All of your generosities are so enormously humanitarian and achievement-oriented, that you might be the one person on the planet that could pull-off an idea that I have:

I am extremely happy to see Chris on your website because I think that he’s just great and would like to see him in a video with Madonna! That would be really something: I watched her recent video with JT dancing over the cars and that is hot and extraordinarily cool!

Can you encourage a Madonna and Chris video happen?
