As I would always inadvertently have my arms outstretched when jumping and therefore smacked them on the water pretty good at the 75 foot height I thought I'd try diving.

All my buds had a good laugh at my expense. Joined Nov 9, Messages 6, Reaction score 11, Great thread. Scared 2 of my 3 kids with it so far.

That was a scary few seconds way deep in the water. Bails Well-Known Member. Joined Jul 5, Messages Reaction score I make a point to do that jump once per year.

Over the years I've dove off if. Now with a son I make a big production of checking the bottom before the jump, trying to teach him to do stupid shit as safely as possible.

I used to dive off that middle one in copper canyon but that was 12 years ago, not any more.

Good times [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro. I see allot of people and kids jump. My BIL lets his daughter jump. But with all the stories I have heard about jumping off of rocks I just don't want to risk it. It also looks kind of shallow in areas near the bottom of the jump.

Then one memorial at the lower sandbar in Parker, a dude jumped off the cliff and came out holding his eye ball in his hand that popped out of his head For the most part, I stopped jumping off cliffs after that one.

I always check the area. Couple habits of mine are I jump within the first 5 seconds. If not, every second after it's that much harder to commit. I've seen people ponder for as long as 10 minutes and if they jump they always flop a bit on their belly or back. I go in feet first and arms tucked. As soon as I know I'm under I kick my legs forward and arms out so I'm not shooting straight down but more across under water with arms slowing me down.

I dunno if it helps but I do feel like I'm no deeper than 6' when looking up. If I've had a beer and have the itch I'll put a life vest on. Reaper1 Well-Known Member. A candlelight vigil is scheduled to take place Thursday, August 19, at 7 p.
