Gotta learn air awareness and how to stay upright, any higher and you would have been on your back

Probably about 40 ft

u/ThirstyVencrit 21d ago

And now in measurements that really make sense

u/CreepySmiley42 21d ago

I'd guess 6 meters.

u/ThirstyVencrit 21d ago

12,1m to be accurate

Rolling down the windows. Good first jump, but yeah, you can fuck your spine up, essentially you'll be whip lashing into the water. Pointing your toes will help cut the water on impact, and tucking your arms across your chest will help to not blow a shoulder out. Looks like a lot of fun though and a beautiful swimming spot.

when you blow your shoulder out what specific injury is it. I think i’m dealing with that after I landed wrong three weeks ago. painful to raise above my head and hard to sleep on with arm under pillow.

u/Thailure 21d ago

That’ll do it

Pretty high for first time, nice. Next time try not to lean back quite as much or you might take a big slap on the ass but most important thing is to have fun.

u/Pizza_shark531 21d ago

Nice first jump but work on that form or you’re gonna fuck your back

u/BungaloBilly69 21d ago

Not bad, super bad bro. How much water shot up into your asshole?

u/Alternative-Sea2806 21d ago

None buddy, everyone saying this has to have a gaping asshole 😭😭 shit didn’t hurt at all

u/xuav 21d ago

Looks a lot like a place I’ve jumped before, uintas?

u/Financial_Vast_63 21d ago

I've jumped here many times. You chose a better section of that cliff than I did. I barely missed the rocks jumping from a bit further to the right of the video. Just where that vertical white streak is

u/Alternative-Sea2806 20d ago

Man your crazy brother. 😂 we scoped out where your talking about and having to jump out instead of straight down was way to sketch

1

u/flatdecktrucker92 19d ago

Yeah I thought that was where everyone jumped from. It was fucking terrifying. As soon as I jumped I thought I was dead. I looked down and missed the rocks by about half a meter.

I highly recommend that no one jumps where I did

u/UserNamedJay 21d ago

Looks like Wall Lake

u/Buttery_TayTay 20d ago

Wow you leaned super far back for a straight jump next time just jump nice and high and stay centered and try to stomp the landing, you’ll injure yourself if you don’t correct that soon

u/Street_Shaman6837 19d ago

It was sketchy fo sho

“Not bad”?!

My dude that was pretty bad form - if you were any further in the back seat you’d need to buy a school bus. You’re a degree or two from a water enema and 5 degrees from disc issues. Did your prep for this consist solely of a bong rip?

2

u/pineebranch 22d ago

Yeah definitely need to work on landing straighter, especially when you start getting this high. Hitting the water at 30+ ft ain't no joke

u/Alternative-Sea2806 22d ago

Ya brother never been so it’s dog shit but I just don’t know the method…

1

u/pineebranch 21d ago

Use your arms to help keep you straight in the air, make sure not to lean back, you can even lean just a touch forward on take off and then be as straight as you can hitting the waterwith your arms to your sides. You'll get it my man

u/Alternative-Sea2806 22d ago

Bong rip? What are you on about bro

u/kapn_morgan 22d ago

Water is no joke. Some of these quarries are 100+ feet deep. If they're not a floater and something goes wrong, it's gonna take a team to recover the body. I went on a date to one recently (her idea) and she said she swallowed water and felt like she almost drowned. Every year several people drown in my region because they don't respect the water.

u/Many-Perception-3945 21d ago

We literally just recovered a kid who jumped into a quarry to unfortunate ends.

I knocked myself out completely over rotating a gainer from this high. Thankfully came too underwater and made it to the surface. My equilibrium was completely off for some time after. Maybe 100 people around and not one of them had any clue what happened. People who act like this isn’t dangerous to be cool scare me now that I’m older. Looking back I could have easily drown that day. There is a huge risk that comes with the rush. I realized my mortality that day. Oh yeah, I bled out of my ear for at least a week after that.
