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.
Yeah, you probably shouldn't send your first cliff jump from 50 ft! 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, LOL!
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.

Hey Man, Thanks for the lesson :D I tried my first jump last weekend after watching this video, haven't even jumped in a pool but it was 15-20ft approx and I made it well and good, thanks for the help. I recently learned that you split your face in half cliff jumping is it true ?
Years ago I almost snapped my leg in half due to a sketchy cliff jump, it was a very popular place to jump I just decided to get frisky and jumped from a sketchy take of and hit a ledge under the water, luckily I just missed it and came away with a big gash, I wish I had watched this video back then. Even if it’s a popular place it can still get sketch at times.
Nice vid. But how do i know whether the water is clean enough? I saw in many videos the water look dirty as a tea, but people didn't seem to have problems.
My friend once hesitated and fell all the way down a 25 ft cliff and smashed his face on rocks at the bottom. Be careful gents, he had to be airlifted to the hospital and had a huge gash in his head. It could have been much, much worse. Scope out the spot, make sure there is nothing underwater, and be confident. If you are too nervous about a jump, DO NOT DO IT.
Sould you lock your legs or keep them slightly bent? DO you want to point your toes or impact with your heel. I'm thinking of jumping from a 80ft bridge in West Virginia. Thanks
shoes are not necessary if he can dive and point his toes he will be fine but if he really wants to he can, just saying shoes are not a necessity, i've had friends who injured their feet by wearing shoes
I’m trying to learn a backflip off cliffs but I can already do backflips off of stuff like truck tailgates and stuff like that but I tuck and I’m afraid I’m gonna tuck when I’m doing it off a cliff and I’m gonna over do it and fuck myself lol
I'm here listening to this video because I jumped off the cliff in fetal position and it bruised the back of my thighs very badly. I felt discouraged after that. I wasn't even informed that fetal position is the wrong way to jump off. No one cared to tell me that. Believe me it feels great and exciting to jump into the water up high. But make sure you have someone with you who is well experienced. One who's experienced must teach you to jump correctly. Beginners like me can end up hurting themselves.
I wish I lived in an area where there were more places to do this. There's only one that I'm aware of and it's already dangerous enough to get up to the rock to jump off of!
By "flexing" you mean stay tight like in a squat or deadlift? Does taking a deep diaphragmatic breath and flexing your abs (again like one does for a heavy lift) protect the spine like it does when lifting?
When i tried cliff jumping, my impact was vertical landing my feet straight , it looks just perfect. splash were minimal...but it sort of hurt my groins and i felt my eyelids were forcibly opened as i hit the water through the deep, thus hurting my eyes.. any pro ...tip on this?
balance out with your arms while mid-air by making your body in a T shape and then lower them to your sides and as he says, flex your body. hope that explanation helped. :)
When I went it hurt my ears super bad, like the water separated and came back together and clapped me in the ears or something, any tips on preventing that?
its natural for the body to float so as long as the water is deep enough(15-20 ft deepfor a 40ft jump) you'll be fine.. you want to enter the water as straight as you can with your arms by your side
my highest cliff jump was 20 ft and i backflipped it, but there is a 60 foot cliff near me that ive been wanting to jump. I dont know if i should send it right ow or if i should try 40 footers before i send this one, any help?
what should be the depth if we are jumping from 10feet high. should we go straight through water. or should we bend soon as we hit the water. I jumped from a 6feet high into a 10feet depth. I went too deep I could find the bottom. I'm just worried if I may hit bottom.. afraid if bottom is mud.
Me and my friends had a swing not far off the water, and it was only about 5 feet. But we all knew how we must land, and never got hurt. That's not saying you should do it too. But like he says, know your skill level. And just by asking, you're telling me that you shouldn't do it.
I love cliff jumping but I hate every time I jump I go so far down is there a technique to not go so far down? my friends always go down a few feet and are still visable I go straight down I've managed to touched the bottom of around 15-20 feet deep water
There is a cliff we usually jump off its about 20ft into a waterfall but we have been told someone has died in it now do we avoid strong currents that pull us under?
Sounds like they jumped when the water was up after a hard rain. That happened here in Ohio where i live at East Monroe falls. When the water is churning and full of air bubbles, swimming upwards is much harder.
I almost drowned swimming in a very innocent water hole next to about a 12 ft waterfall-I just couldn’t quite make it back to the side with the under tie from watefall. Finally my friend came & extended his leg so I could grab. I was quiet as a mouse during it which was weird, but apparently draining is a quiet death. I learned a lesson, respect waterfalls & running water!!
U R NOT ME I did two years of diving classes. So my basic tips are : Hold your hands together really tight, the water will try and push them apart (then your head is hitting and that's bad). Also, you can't jump from as high when diving vs jumping.
I always worry about water in my nose. Even when I blow out of nose and practice on smaller cliffs, I still get water in. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
not an issue for me.. i think if you are a good swimmer, its instinctive to blow your nose naturally as you go under water.. my problem however in cff junmping is it hurts my balls. any tip on that?
Dont I live there its exteremly dangerous and several people have died even tough its beautiful, I suggest going to Hondoq instead stellar views and more safe. Enjoy your vacation!
Like he said... Know your skill level. By asking that question, it tells me that you shouldn't dive head first, if it's much over 40 feet. At 40 feet, you can land how the hell ever, and be okay. Trust me, I got lots of experience in bad landings, from swinging off a rope at 40 feet. Sometimes timing was off and letting go too soon caused awkward landings. But if you insist on going against good advice, then simply break the water with your palms. You know, like Olympic high divers may do from extreme heights. As you are about to enter, stretch your arms over your head and hit palms first to break the water. Keep your head tucked directly behind your palms upon entry. That's it.
I've jumped off 40-45ft cliffs into bodies of water with depths of 10ft and I've never come close to hitting the bottom so 25 ft is definitely more than enough. Videos on my channel if you want an example.
how high do you start to risk breaking something or getting seriously injured when a jump goes wrong? I'm looking at about a 30 foot jump and want to try a single back flip but im worried if i screw it up and back flop will I get seriously injured? Obviosuly wont hold you accountable for any advice given!
You can break something landing wrong going off a basic (low) diving board. The higher you go, the greater the chance. If you have smaller cliffs - or a pool with a high dive - start on those, just humping off first...then dive...then flips. Go higher and higher (if possible) doing straight jumps, then dives. Again, once you hit that 30 foot cliff, jump feet first a couple times to get used to it and kind of time yourself (not an actual stop watch, of course!)...but once you get used to the feeling/how much "fall time" you have, then you can try to add the flip.
