So I might be attempting a 117' this year...

Whattt, that's a way easy jump. You don't have trees or rocks that you have to jump way far out to avoid. I'd say go for it, but then again, that mindstate has fucked me over a few times, hah. Looks fun, dude. Give'r.
 
didn't that dude sort of... get hurt?

haven't you screwed your back even though you jumped perfectly?

sure, you can jump and survive, but that's the point of that if you're screwed later on?
 
Yeah, but my back was fucked prior. Way fucked.

The guy got hurt? Must have missed that. What I meant by an easy jump was what I said before: no trees or rocks you have to avoid.

Patty, check out my post on the second page of this thread. It's quite the opposite of the last one.
 
yeah, that's what i mean, why the sudden change of tone if you actually hurt yourself doing something like that?

You can hear the kid scream when he comes back up from the water...
 
i thought they were doing hte gainers off the huge one at the begining.. until i saw the other one. shiiiiiiit
 
I got my money on the fact he is going to pussy out... I mean.. 117' is just stupidity...

But prove me wrong, and upload a video with you introducing yourself then jumping.
 
yeah man theres a 110 here i want to do...

make sure you land perfect ive been practicing my form off an 80 and a 90 and im feeling pretty confident but shit can happen

my ski coach told me that his brother is an intense cliff jumper and aparently from that high up when people die its not cause of the impact its cause part of tehre heart rips off or something when they go under water so fast....

i dunno man just be careful and you got it
 
i think if u feel ready n confident u can do it. have ur friends in like a lil bout out there with paddels hitten the water, and kicken there feet in the water n have ur friends jumpin out of the boat right b 4 u jump. u should b set n have ur friends kickin n hitten the water the fuckin time.

but if u feel ur self 2 start fallin back look forward n down
 
yeah it will, thats why people complain that their back hurts after they do a big cliff, you gotta point your toes.
 
honestly why the fuck would you do this....it cant be fun....i love jumping off cliffs but 117 is just plain dumb.
 
i would never plan on jumping something that big....what do you wanna risk for 5 fuckin' seconds? walking?

these people want you to jump because it might** be cool. i bet all the people that have already jumped that bridge aren't gonna be doing it anymore, cuz the risk is huge man. stick to the smaller fun shit. who cares if you jumped the biggest, what matters is that you enjoy the rest of your life being able to ski and walk. that's just my take on it.
 
make sure you close your legs. maybe even wear a water thermal suit or whatever they're called saw it on xtreme stunts on tv and he had a full body suit on a 100+
 
do it if your confident you can if your having doubts about it its probably not a good idea

i finally did this 110 last week...i think i talked about it somewhere in this thread this is old isnt it?
 
I didn't do it this summer. I've been perfecting my form on a bunch of 80+ and I've been doing a lot trick stuff just having fun. I still haven't made up my mind on whether I'm going to do it or not. If I do, it will be next year and only if I'm prepared and 100% confident. One of the things that really gets at me is that I already have a bad back (I broke it in 3 places skiing). I'm worried that even if my entry was perfect I'd end up wrecking my back even more. I wouldn't be doing it to be 'cool' like some of you have said, I'd be doing it for personal accomplishment. I know a lot of you can't understand that, but whatever...
 
i completly understand the personal accomplishment thing, this summer there was a 55 footer that lots of ppl were doing but im scared of hights so i couldnt do it and i just stood ontop on it for like 4 hours in total and everytime i didnt jump i felt like shit, not cuase of what other ppl think i just dont like not being able to do things i commit to
 
anything more then 70 its best to do into moving water because theres so much surface tension in flat water
 
he is 1000% correct it does not matter if the water is running down a river or whatever surface tensions stays the same
