Jumping-jack recruit Zephaniah Skinner was practising his giant leap
while enjoying the scenic backdrop of Queenstown's nearby mountain range.
IT MAY be the adventure capital of the world, but for the Western Bulldogs it has been far from your average Queenstown holiday.
Yes, there's been jet boating, the odd bungee jump, a couple of skydives and renditions of the haka.
But they have been brief exploits during the Dogs' arduous seven-day development and education program on New Zealand's South Island.
The players were welcomed on Monday with a seven-hour hike through remote terrain atop the snow-covered Remarkables mountain range.

Wow! That's quite a leap. It looks the others walked up the mountain and Zephi just jumped over the bloody thing.

It looks like he got photographed after jumping out of a plane without a parachute (he could do that, you know).

Apparently his party trick is to leap over the top of people's heads. So I'm guessing no trampoline.

I dont think they dragged a trampoline all the way up the mountain.

I dont have photoshop but I have an idea. Could someone have a go at putting a superman 'S' symbol on Zephi's chest and a cape on his back please?

Superman is in the building!!!
When I saw that photo this morning in the HS I immediately thought of REM's song (I am) Superman.
Seeing the guys doing the Haka was cool too - especially Rocket and Smorgo. As for Bazza, can't wait until we play the Roos and he does the Haka at Scott Thompson.

Some photographers go to extraordinary lengths just to get an epic photo, and this sir, is an epic photo!
Anyway, I think it's his real leap :D
