So now that another ski season is over who loves to jump off cliffs, bridges or hit up a rope swing in the summer?  Post your favroite and the biggest thing you have done with picture if you have it, ill try to post some later on.

For me its a ropeswing that you start on a platform about 30-50 feet above the water (i know huge difference cant really remember from last summer).  Or an 80 foot cliff

THE FLUUME hell yeah thats the best place to go in the summer. The rock that juts out between the two streams is jacknife, fun as hell.  Did you do the bigger drop to the left when your standing out there?You land in that same pool.

I rope-swang today (if that's even a word) for the first time of the summer. So awesome. Can't wait for july when we go back to the White mountains of NH for the annual swift river trip. There's one cliff that kicks so much ass to jump from. Here's my friend Sera jumping:Click for larger image

Here's an edit of my local spot. Some double backs and double gainers in there. The rope swing is huge and so much fun. I didn't make the edit by the way...

yea it looks huge but the top is right around 50 feet measured. the sketchy part is that you have to clear 20+ feel horizontally to not die.

this quarry is in the middle of Vermont somewhat near Brandon. its fairly new so its kept guarded most of the time but the water is so clear it reminds me of the Caribbean, because its from the white marble and its spring fed. there are tons of spots to jump from ranging from 35 feet to 65+.

you sure?  looked about as big as this one (it's near my house), judging by the view of each ropeswing from the top.  me and my friends thought that this one was roughly 30 feet.

Yeah man. The angle that they were filming from was really shitty. If you could see it from across the creek on the bank, it looks a hell of a lot bigger.

i dunno, i was gonna say that your ropeswing and mine were about the same size, cause they look pretty close, especially cause i've seen my ropeswing from roughly the same angles as yours is filmed in the video.  i figure the one i posted is 25-30 feet.

I live there. I know where the 45's are (they're actually 47 feet) and i know where the 80 would be but that looks like a death wish. Where the heck is the 60?
