8/24/2010 3:32:17 PM

That was pretty awesome. I would do it...but only after having someone do it in front of me.

8/24/2010 3:33:35 PM

8/24/2010 3:34:07 PM

No, but I did know of a pretty sweet three story tree house with a rope swing out of the top story until some kid broke his femur.

There used to be several great rope swings around Rocky Mount, but nothing of this caliber. One of them was built by running a high tension cable between two trees and then attaching a rope to the cable (similar to the one in the video) and it created a great slingshot effect.

I'd probably try the rope swing although 60' is a pretty big drop. I've jumped from around 50' before, but that was off a solid platform which seems completely different than having to swing in first.

Was that a cable they had their rope attached to? I couldn't really tell.

8/24/2010 3:59:49 PM

I'd have to work my way up from 10' to 60'

8/24/2010 4:05:04 PM

ive jumped from cliffs from 20 up to around 35 ... 35ft felt very high

60 seems scary haha

8/24/2010 4:09:44 PM

my highest so far has been 50 feet

8/24/2010 4:11:08 PM

i wonder if he got his rope back

8/24/2010 5:29:45 PM

that guy is a badass and an idiot

the deep area did not look very large either

8/24/2010 5:43:40 PM

60ft ain't shit, try 172

8/24/2010 8:33:51 PM

8/24/2010 9:38:02 PM

Kid down here at green springs was in a coma for a bit after someone jumped on top of him.

8/24/2010 10:00:35 PM

8/24/2010 10:28:53 PM

That is not a good idea. I would never do that.

The other two video's posted in this thread:

172' high dive: I'm afraid of heights, and I had trouble just watching that guy on that little platform. I don't know how people do that.

Ankle snap: Holy shit that's gotta hurt. Especially dangling after that happened. You know it took them 10 minutes to get him out of that.

8/25/2010 8:13:57 AM

lol this was a link off of the 172' dive video

8/25/2010 10:25:29 AM
