Cliff jumping if you dare!
For larger jumps (50 ft +), the angle of entry is critical. To ensure that you always enter the water vertically, it is proper to jump leaning slightly forward, keeping your point of entry in view. Extend your arms for balance. As you fall, gradually tuck in your arms, and bring together your legs. A gradual backward rotation throughout the jump will bring you from your initial forward position to complete a vertical entry. Common errors include backward over rotation, which may lead to butt flops and not tucking in arms or legs, which can leave nasty briuses on big jumps. Generally, the highest jump that should be attempted is 100ft. The world record dive stands at 172ft, set by Dana Kunze.
Always work your way up gradually in height and never jump big alone.
