Cliff-jumping!
« on: July 05, 2006, 01:31:51 am »
I guess it's not very common so I'll explain it. You find a cliff near a river / lake (must be deep) and jump off it.

Anyhow, Sunday, my friends Taylor, Justin, Zach and I went to Mirror Lake State Park (Wisconsin Dells, WI) and pumped off a few cliffs along one of it's drainage rivers. The first cliff I jumped from was about 20 feet above the water. After that I jumped off one around 60 feet. I didn't get injured, except when my feet impacted the water it hurt like hell, of course. After that, I jumped off the 20 foot one again more towards the shoreline (the bottom drops of around 3 feet past the cliffs) and hit the bottom, nearly breaking my left ankle. Luckily, I came away with a bit of lost blood, a hell of a lot of pain, and two hugeass scratches. Of course, freefall feels SO great that I'd do it all again (when my ankle stops hurting).

EDIT -
Note, I wrote this a few days ago on another forum, and my ankle doesn't hurt too much anymore.

You might be right about that, Joe.

You're supposed to wear sneakers when you go cliff diving so you don't fuck up your feet.  Damn, Joe.

Yeah, I realized that. I asked Taylor why he was wearing shoes.

This weekend we went to the Salt River, where there are usually nutty people trying out cliff jumping.  I decided I'd give them really a reason to cliff jump, bought a slingshot, a bag of marshmellows, and a lighter.  The plan was to fling flaming marshmellows at the cliff jumpers.  Sadly none were there this weekend, and it looks like they've blocked off the more popular spots for it.

That sounds like fun.  Shooting hard solid objects are more fun, though...

Marshmellows burn like napalm, though!  Sticky and burny = bad

We were in a river.  If it really burned.... they could have gone in the river.
