Thumbs up 50 ft ROCK JUMP

so we spontaneously went on this nature hike and at the end of the trail were some good times
it was a 50 ft cliff... it was pretty scary at first. but after a local jumper shown us the ropes fear was replaced by adrenaline. overall it was a good time and nobody was hurt which is always a good thing .and of course i was able to snap a few shots.

enjoy

Very nice images. Those fresh water mines are real deep. There was a place in NY state where we use to go. I jumped from about half that and you go so deep but the top of the water looks like it is right there. I let out some air to see how deep I was. I had to swim fast to get up. I was alot of fun. I would never jump from that high. LOL

thanks for the compliments.. i was really suprised how well the shots came out.. i was really nervous cause of all the shadows.. but i was satisfied. as far as the jump... it was crazy... some people would just walk up and do it like it was nothing. it was for sure crazy but really fun... some say im an adrenaline junkie but to me its just another day living life to the fullest.

That 1st and 2nd shot makes it look so much higher than the last shot.....interesting how the viewpoint changes.....At first I wouldn't do it but looking at the last one...I probably would.

its funny that you say that... cause my brother was filming the jumps and when we reviewed it at home the view at the top looked sooo much smaller where the view from the bottom it looked HUGE... hmmm... different angles and different perspectives...
