My name is Amos. I’m a dark golden retriever, and I’m a newcomer to the “Big Air” dock jumping circuit. “Big Air” is a competition in which a 40-foot-long dock serves as a platform for us to get a running start and leap as far into the water as we can to catch an object thrown by a human.

Oh boy! Here we go!
