P.S. The thing I dislike about this sport and would change is... people leaving beer cans, bottles, wrappers, wet socks, and crud all over. This makes authority figures want to stop us. Pack in-pack out. If others don’t, its up to you. I bring a 50 gallon bag and fill it up when I get there ( and if someone comes to bust me I say " I'm here picking up litter, guy !" )

I found a nice one at L'Ile Rousse in Corsica. You jump from a rocky cliff into a channel of sea. I like also the famous Pont du Diable (devil's bridge) near Montpellier in France. It's 18m high and full of audience!

Do you ever jump solo? That's dangerous you know! What if you bite it?
Never had the opportunity but I would ( esp. to try new tricks when no one is there to watch me land flat - from a reasonable height of course)

Ever been hurt jumping? What body part got hurt?
Never badly..feets, twisted knee, face smacked.

What's your highest jump and do you have a limit?
18m. I would be okay for up to 30m feet first. Much less in head diving..

Yes...funny story...I wasnt exactly jumping. Rather i was running back up the track at Douglas Park to get the top to go again and I must not have seen it, I ran into a tree branch right at my eyeline. Got knocked out cold and almost fell back down the cliff. I reckon the climb back out is a part of the jump.
