THE ORIGINAL CAR JUMPER!!!

Now I know where Kobe Bryant got the car jumping idea from!!! Check out Akron native Chris Bryant, also called the Akron Car Jumper, and his videos below. His story first came out some time ago when he was featured on the local news for jumping cars. Because of his growing fame around the city, Chris was then invited to be a guest on the Ellen show to show off his skills. Once she saw him jump a car on the show, she called up Nike and told them that they should sign this kid to a contract immediately. And once Nike saw what Chris could do, they put him in a Nike commercial doing what else, but jumping cars. That is the legend of the original car jumper my friends.

This definitely is not fake like the Kobe one, (sorry Kobe fans) which is what makes this footage even more amazing. Kids, don't try this at home...
