Abstract
An ellipse on a non-slip inclined plane can rock, roll, or jump. Below a threshold energy, it rocks about its static equilibrium configuration. Above this energy, it rolls, and, if it rolls, it will eventually jump off the incline after some number of rolls. It is shown that jumping can only occur in certain configurations of the ellipse.
