1. A method for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle, comprising:
sensing a speed of the vehicle;
sensing an acceleration of the vehicle along three spatial axes;
determining that the vehicle is in a jump state associated with the vehicle being off a ground surface, the jump state being defined at least in part by the acceleration of the vehicle along the three spatial axes and the speed of the vehicle; and
controlling the transmission according to a jump strategy in response to determining that the vehicle is in the jump state.
