im going to Alouette Lake in VAncouver today and there is a crazy cliff there (its called the running man), its only 35, that would be allright except for the fact that you have to sprint into it just so you go far enough out so you don't kill your self on the rocks that are right below it hence the name running man, i can't wait to try it> But its freakin me out cause if you trip on the many rocks and roots that are on top of the cliff your dead, the idea of me running full speed then suddenly triping right before the edge and falling to me death keeps running through my head, oh ya and i kid died there a couple years ago, thank god for peer pressure, what are your guys's cliff jumping experiances?

we have a few cliffs near us....one is like the one your talking about you have to jump way out and a bunch of people have tripped and died, and another's like 50 on the ct river, that one's easy and fun and has a sweet rope swing off of it, there's another at a quarry in new milford that was on the TBS show worst case scenerio a couple days ago if anyone saw that, the best i'v ever been to was in La Jola, CA at this place called the clam, there's like 20 different spots to jump off from like 10 feet to like 100, and one starts horizontal and slowly becomes a vertical wall so you eventualy end up running sideways before you jump off, they have contests to see who can run the farthest. that was cool...that place has a website too, i'll post it later

there arent any cliffs around here but at this kids cabin up north there is an old quarry (sp?) and a whole side of it is jumpable and as you keep walking it gets higher and higher and there is nothing to hit on the ground so you could stand right on the edge and just jump. there are some cool rope swings going off it too.



where does all the white go when the snow melts?

last summer i gainered a 60ft cliff, it was my first time jumping off of it.

The highest i've done is an 80 foot bridge, that was sweet. The highest jumpable thing in my area that i've found is a 100 foot bridge, but i haven't gotten around to it yet :P

Shit man, 175, that's fucking insane.

The Snake River canyon is the shit for cliff jumping, you've probably all seen McConkey BASE jumping off the Perrine bridge, like 556 ft. or something... there are some nice, deep little lakes that are nestled up against the canyon wall where you can climb up as far as you want... I've seen guys doing 100-plus feet off of that. The bruises look horrible. My highest jump was probably around eighty feet, give or take 15. Scary shit, but damn so much fun.

By the way, for anyone in or ever passing through southern Idaho, the lakes you want are Vineyard Lake, Dierkes Lake, and the Hidden Lakes.

about 10 years ago, I think.... My cousin and I went out cliff jumping. he went off one that was probably 100ft+. there was no way I was going off it at the time. I would now, but I hit a smaller one. unfortunatly I landed with my legs opened and saced myself so bad. it was a good time otherwise

you avoid the colonal ear gators by keeping your ass clenched, rather than landing in a sitting position...but if that turns your crank, go for it

There is this place that we go cliff jumping around here and everyone is like holy shit did you do the 75 footer, or the 90 footer, but there is only like a 60 footer. People have a very hard time judging how high cliffs actually are. Now Im not saying that you're all idiots, but jumping 100 feet is pretty damn big
