I was never aware of TFC jumping, but way way back, early in my TF2 days, I stumbled across a server with the map, "cp_jumpspirit". It was a mediocre demo map with some frog in it and with some really poor regeneration and a way you could cheat yourself to the cap, but at the time, I was more amazed at the fact like a map like that existed. I'm a very determined person, so I ended up playing that map repeatedly until I beat it. Very intrigued, I ended up looking up these...jump maps. This was very early in TF2 jumping. There were very few maps that existed. There were the skyscraper maps (which some of you old jumpers may remember), and then there were randomly made solly maps (much MUCH easier than the ones we have today), and then there was jump_hobo and jump_bob. I started talking to bob, who made maps a lot more frequently then, while he was making jump classic "jump_hobo2". I asked him all about this jumping deal and he told me about its history and such.
I ended up getting addicted to these. I ended up barely playing the actual game to jump. It really became a hobby for me. It was a challenge, and I like challenges. Around the time, I had made my name as House. Back then, I was pretty good. Now, compared to you professionals, I'm decent, lol. I don't go around as House anymore, though. I'm Bematt through and through, so y'know.
But yeah, I started there and I took a few breaks from jumping to play the actual game, but I never stopped. I've made one map, jump_tsao, which I think everyone hated, but that's okay, lol.
But yeah, that's my story.
