This is a quick example of Stickman jumping in the NLA. His simple jump animation can be looped over and over again in the NLA Editor. For kicks, press N in the NLA Editor and adjust the settings in the floating panel that appears.

This is a quick little animation of Stickman jumping. Feel free to adjust the keys and timing so he matches your tastes. For instance, you may want to animate him landing.

Also, play with the options in the Visualisations tab below. Seeing his motions with Ghosts and Bone Paths is actually pretty helpful… not to mention sweet-looking.
