throw yourself at the ground and miss

How to fly. See flight and flying.

To fly, you'll need to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Difficulty arises because if one is truly trying properly to throw themselves at the ground and fails to miss, chances are that one will fail to miss the ground quite hard.

Modesto also used to host the biggest Graffiti Night rallies for a few years after the movie came out.
