i just read the article "Re-open the clam",and i have some advice:
i don't know if you feel the same way but i think cliff jumping is a very religious experience. and it's our right, guranteed to us by the CONSTITUTION, to be able to choose ANY religion, we see fit. the supreme court deals with laws that dispute the constitution, and the constitution always wins. the only thing is, they can only hear "real" cases, or cases where some one is found guilty of the un-constitutional law. then you have to appeal all the way to the supreme court, i don't see how we could lose when the constitution is on our side. of course there are a great deal of "constitutional rights" that have been taken away from us, in the name of things like safety and home land security, but it's worth a chance. i'm no lawyer, just a high school kid who finished a U.S. government class, but i think if the cliff jumpers banded together we could beat these fascist dictators.

I have a question and the only people who can answer it are people who have jumped from over 100 feet and into saltwater. I tried a large bridge jump last spring and had perfect water entry but when I hit the water my feet skipped resulting in a large amount of pain and 1 shoe being ripped off of my foot. I held them flat to the water. My question is does that always happen or is there something I can do to prevent that. Should I point my toes or wear boots? What do you do? Have you ever been injured while doing Dead Man's Jump? I appreciate your knowledge and help because I will be jumping into water that has Great White sharks in it and shark sighting season started the other day

Hey I live in Ventura County and a fat cliff jump is being closed, Red Rock, Santa Barbara. A few people have died from jumping from the 80 foot cliff. The sudden collision with rocks is what does them in. La Brinca Canyon in Thousand Oaks has been shut down for 18 years due to the city not wanting to airlift victims out. I have recieved tickets and it really pisses me off and would like to do whatever I can to reopen these places. I feel that a constitutional lawsuit saying our right to the pursuit of happiness and the liberty to make our own decisions has been infringed upon. It also only takes 4 people to start a religion and then it would be religious discrimination to outlaw our churches, I mean cliffs.
Jump safe and often

dope!

Will,
What's up? Got your email. I'm going to write back to you as well but we're behind you 100% and would love to help in anyway we can. I'll explain more in the email.
Don't Drink and Jump!!!

your web site is awesome , but the photos don't give very good perspective of the jumps other than Dead Man's,i guess i'll have to make the 4 hour pilgrimage and check it out myself, along with the devil's punchbowl, and cougar canyon, maybe even farther south to la bufadora in ensenada, mexico.
See you at the cliffs.

This is the best site on the web by far! The second best site is airabovewater.com
Stay Rock Jumping !

Fabulous site. I jumped the clam in college in 1982 and it was great. I don't think I have the balls anymore to do Dead Man's. I work with Will and he's a stud!
-
Nice site. I just launched a 65 foot bridge in the keys and I was looking for good jumps in Cali.. Found it!
-
I like ur site the thing is i wouldn't cliff jump with just shorts on i cliff jump in a wetsuit doesn't slap as much. The clam looks pretty cool we jump at a place called portland bill the south of England the jumps r pretty good u should jump there. There was this 200 foot jump there but some people died jumping to many rocks at the bottom and then the jump collapsed a few years ago. can u backflip because i freind can. from cockneyrocko

Will,
What's up? Just saw your link on cliffjumping.com and decided to surf on in. That old picture of the guy jumping from the top is nuts!!! You ever jump it?
-
nice site, wish i could come to cali. my friends and I have been collecting a series of jumps that we do from bridges, to quaries, cliffs, trees, etc. It'd be cool to have some kind of gallery/search to find places in local areas. I'm from the east coast email me if you know of any places near NH or want to know of some. (There are like 15 places we go ranging from 80 ft to smaller 10 ft stuff) peace
-
Hey Will...I heard the same thing. Did they shut you guys down??
-
I found this site from the airabovewater.com link. A nother very cool site. I would consider a plane trip from here to the clam for that one jump.
-
I grew up in La Jolla, and used to be regular at the Clam and Bear Claw.(Graduated LJH 1978) Man, those were the days. Will be there for vacation this summer. Hope its still open (heard its closed) Would like to take another plunge!!

Im from vernon BC canada and we got some dope cliffs on kal lake here, ranging from 5 feet all the way up to 100 but the majoritys are 30-80, and the 100 footer has a plaque on the top cuz of a guy that died. pretty fun tho just did my first jump today.

"what is the highest height you can jump from without killing yourself"- i saw on real tv a sky diver whos shoot didnt open, he hit the ground from a couple thousand feet n lived, so u need some proof to persuad the folks? 25m- 75ft go for it, just look at dead mans thats 35m.

hey guys, big time fan of free falling, but you guys need better jumps on your website. Me and my brother jumped off a 17m tree (about 60-65ft) and im only 15 and he's 13. It was at avoca beach in N.S.W, and heaps of people have been off it, theres a "ladder" of branches etc that you have to climb up, and jump out about 2m to reach the river.
Anyway enough about me, i would really like some figures on what is the highest height you can jump from without killing yourself. reason, i wanna jump off a bridge, about 25m high, but parents wont let me untill i prove it safe, really need help plz plz plz.
