All I can remember is that there was a girl riding a scooter/bicycle and she
witnesses kids jumping off a roof to see who can get closer to the ground and
just before they hit the ground they stop and hover. I can't remember anything
else; it was about 8-10 years ago.

What's this anime with kids jumping off a roof and then hovering over the ground?


That sounds like the "Beyond" segment of the anthology [The
Animatrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animatrix).

> "Beyond" is written and directed by Kōji Morimoto. It follows a teenage
> girl, Yoko (Hedy Burress), looking for her cat Yuki. While asking around the
> neighborhood, indicatively somewhere in Japan, she meets some younger boys.
> One of them tells her Yuki is inside a "haunted house" and invites her to
> see it.
>
> The children have stumbled across an amalgamation of anomalies within an
> old, dilapidated building. They have learned to exploit this glitch in the
> Matrix for their own enjoyment, through several areas which seem to defy
> real-world physics: glass bottles reassemble after being shattered, rain
> falls from a sunny sky, broken lightbulbs flicker briefly (during which they
> seem intact), a door which opens into an endless dark void, shadows which do
> not align with their physical origins, and a dove's feather that rotates
> rapidly in place in mid-air. **There is a large open space in the middle of
> the run-down building where they take turns jumping off a high point and
> falling towards the ground, yet somehow stopping inches before impact.**
> This proves amusing and they do not seem to be bothered by the inherent
> strangeness of the place.
