Teenage pop group Jump5 has finished filming a video for Do Ya, from its brand new/available now recording, ACCELERATE. The clip debuts October 28 on Nickelodeons Slime Time Live.

Of course, the video shoot, at The Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, was not without some incidents. 16 year-old good sport Chris Fedun braved the entire dance-heavy day with a badly sprained ankle, and then, while jumping into the pool to celebrate the completion of filming, he accidentally kicked band mate Libby Hodges in the mouth! Yikes, two down and three to go

Were happy to report that Jump5 has fully mended and is back in action, with several concerts planned for this month, including a Las Vegas show on Halloween. And remember, the quintets new CD, ACCELERATE, is in stores now, and the Do Ya video airs on Nickelodeon, October 28. You can also catch the clip on Jump5s unique new DVD, out next month.

Jump5 recently spent what turned out to be a very lively and physical day at The Standard Hotel in downtown LA while filming the video for Do Ya, from their October 7 release, Accelerate. Chris Fedun of Jump5 navigated the entire video shoot sporting a badly sprained ankle, and the commotion didnt end there! After a long day of filming, while the cameras were rolling, Jump5 pushed Chris into the pool and he accidentally kicked Libby Hodges (Jump5) in the mouth. Then, the camera jammed, leaving one of the final shots on the Do Ya video of Chris Fedun, literally, hanging in mid-air!

Brandon Dickerson (Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Newsboys, ZOEgirl, Sixpence, and Switchfoot) directed the Do Ya video. Jump5 has worked with Dickerson on four of their current five videos.

The world broadcast premiere of the Do Ya video will air on Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live on October 28. Accelerate, Jump5s fourth studio recording, releases this week (October 7).

Wow since my last update its been a blur. A lot has happened since my birthday, although there are some great things just starting to happen. The biggest is with our new single Do Ya."

Some of you were lucky enough to hear it featured during our set this summer. If I remember right, we debuted it live in Syracuse, NY. The more and more we performed, the better it got. Some of my favorite memories from the summer tour were hearing the crowd sing along to Do Ya in Milwaukee and St. Paul that was really cool.

For those of you that didnt get to hear it live, you should be able to hear it soon on the radio. Over the weekend Radio Disney featured it, so I guess that means you can start requesting it.

You can also check it out on our new album Accelerate which comes out in less than one month! Are you excited? Believe it or not Do Ya was one of the last songs we recorded for the new album, and it turns out being the first song on the album. Pretty crazy, huh?

Gotta Bounce!

What a summer! We had so much fun on tour performing to great crowds over the last month. It was so nice to meet all of you!

Weve got our brand new website almost completely functional and more updates than ever before. Just remember, it all started with me back in June. Haha. Although Im not sure I would really agree with the Dereks Dirt update regarding the line about him beating me at Halo. If I remember correctly we paused the game as I went to get some food when I got back and unpaused the game my player had been taken out a few times. Hmmm Ill let you be the judge who the better player is.

Just around the corner is October you know what that means?

Yeah, Lesleys Birthday jk!

Itll be time for our new CD Accelerate on October 7th and that will be a whole new chapter for us. All of us got the chance to be involved with this release more than ever before. Were very excited about it and hope you love it.

As you know, we've just returned from the Aaron Carter tour. It was such a blast! We got to hang with AC and rekindle friendships from last year. Also, we had the chance to get to know Stevie Brock and Greg Raposo a little bit better. Stevie, Greg (along with Greg's manager, John), Brandon (along with Brandon's dad, Greg) and I all took part in a few football games after the show. Greg is a fast one! And don't let Stevie's size fool you; he can play some mean football.

While on the subject of recreation, Brandon and Chris had the opportunity to play Paintball with Aaron and his band and dancers as well as Stevie on the off day in Detroit. It was Brandon and Chris's first time and they did quite well. Rumor has it that Aaron says he "dominated." Between you and me, Brandon and Chris held their own and did quite well against AC. I personally enjoyed beating Brandon in XBOX (Ghost Recon and Halo). Even though I'm a PS2 man here at home, it was good to learn from the #1 XBOX player in the country (Brandon).

Another cool thing about being on the road is meeting other artists. In Wisconsin, we had the honor of opening up for Kelly Clarkson's first headlining show. Then, in Minneapolis, we ran into Hanson backstage and got to spend some quality time with Taylor and Isaac.

We had a great time getting to meet all of you on the road. We held the poster contests in most cities and we were excited to see you with some very creative posters! Keep an eye on the website, because we may do this contest again for future shows/tours. It always makes the Jump5 show better when we see our enthusiastic fans supporting us by showing their signs while we are on stage!

We look forward to seeing you all this fall as we prepare to do some of our own shows. Also, be sure to get your tickets to the Christmas tour early because they will go fast!

Wow, the last two weeks on the road have been a lot of fun. Of course all things must come to an end and tonight is our last night on the road as part of the Aaron Carter Jukebox tour.

Yesterday we performed at the Minnesota State Fair. It was so much fun to say farewell to Stevie Brock and Greg Raposo who were leaving the tour one night early. Traditionally the last night on tour is considered to be prank night. It was so much fun! I wish every night could be like this where we could just play jokes on each other.

We pretended to be members of Dream Street during Greg Raposos set, which was hilarious. During Stevie Brocks set we kidnapped his dancers and eventually picked Stevie up and carried him away during his last song. Heres a picture of us getting on a stage cart used for moving the lights with Aaron Carter (green hoodie) and Greg Raposo. We hopped on it during Stevies set and Greg and Brandon pushed us across the stage as we waved to the crowd.

Oh well, its only moments before he have our chance to say farewell to Aaron with a fun prank. Were a little nervous, what if he has a surprise in store for us?
