  • hey man, you literrally the only dude on youtube giving tips about cliff jumps (in english) any more vids about how to do spins and shit would be apprecaitted a, thanks,
  • I just did my first cliff jump from about 50 feet at Angora lakes near Tahoe... Never even jumped from something half that size. I knew it was dangerous but I should have checked it out before. I watched a couple people go and decided to try it but it took me about an hour to get the courage to run and jump. Once I started running that was it, I was going but my heart was racing so bad. Did pretty well bruised my butt hitting the water but that was it... I wish I would have watched this first though... I didn't realize how dangerous it could be if I fucked up that jump. It was such a rush though and I loved to do it again.

    One thing I might add is regarding measuring the depth. You can't see too clearly in many lakes, so an eye test underwater is impossible. That leaves us with diving to gauge bottom depth. Now, while it is possible to gauge it this way, you may miss some things jutting out in murky water. That's why I always use my trusty depth finder. I can accurately scan every inch of the bottom, and see everything down there, leaving no doubt about how deep it is and if anything is protruding out at a small area that can be missed by diving. I can do it all without even getting in the water. It would suck to get to a spot, go through the trouble of diving down a bunch of times, only to find out I can't jump there. My favorite cliff is 90 feet deep, right at the wall, so I don't worry about there anyway. But before I ever jumped there, I took the sonar over it even though people were already jumping, and it was obviously a popular spot already, for many years. But I still used the sonar. You can never assume it's safe, and you can never be too safe. We all must remember that.

    This is exactly where I want to cliff jump, so it's fortuitous that I found this video.
  • Wish I had a video like this when I was a kid jumping off the local bridge! Great tips, man! Thank you!

    There's a rule in the cliff jumping world called the rule of tens, which is basically don't jump off anything 10 ft higher than your previous highest jump!

    Thats right you can be loose and relaxed during the drop, then go rigid when entering the water!
