Anyone ever been? It's my new found love in life. My friends and I have been going for the past couple of days. We go out to the river and hit up the cliffs at the chattahoochee with bunch of people. There are a few cliffs. One is about 30-35 feet, another is 40, then the biggest one is about 45 feet high. It's such a rush to jump off them. It feels like you're in the air forever. It's the most fun when drunk red necks are there. They'll do anything. If you haven't been, I strongly suggest you go.

Meh, every year we get one or two kids who die or break stuff at the local spot.

A friend of mine goes.  He's invited me, but I could never make it.  I'll have to go with him next time he hits it up.

I go once every week or 2.  The spots around here are only 20ish feet high, rumor of a 35 footer has been going around recently, but it's a 45 minute drive....

The kids were probably stupid and got hammered and then tried something crazy.

No, it's normally because of water level fluctuatins and changes in the floor of the bowl from year to year.

I've only done a little bit, at a waterfall in Vermont, and smaller ones here. Fun, but not amazing.

Hmm, I guess I just won't be the first one to jump in the water then. You know, just to be safe.

During the spring me and a bunch of my friends went to this duck pond in teh making. It had beautiful water and was about 20 feet deep. Because it was still in the making, there was 20-30ft high dirt mounds that they moved around every 2 or 3 days. It was good fun when you could find one close enough to the water to jump from. My highest was around 25.

To go even further off topic, a couple of years ago, I was at the Oregon coast with a friend, and we were climbing these sand cliffs along the beach, and jumping off them onto the dunes. We were fumping off the cliffs from about 20-25 feet off the dunes, so much fun.

I hang onto the back of the chair lift at the ski area until I'm about 20 feet up then drop into fluffy snow.

Hehe, lift jumpers here get fined and their passes get yanked, but people still do it anyway to get first tracks.

Moar cliff jumping: Cliff jumping on my snowboard into nice fluffy powder.

chicken rock, it's like 25-30ft and it's over the lake. a lot of people drown there because they get trashed and decide to do it and realize they can't swim once they are in the water.

The only place around here to do it is way off in the woods and the landing pool of water is not very wide.
