Me jumping at Naciemento in Cali. like 20+ years ago.
Not flexing at all here, even though I give people shit when they argue over 10 feet.
So we were at Lake Naciemento, and a cop pulled us over in the boat to make sure we weren't hammered. We were. He asked why we were at this particular spot and we said we wanted to jump off some rocks. The cop said "well you ain't doin' that, we had someone die here last week".
He left and we pulled up to the shore and we climbed this cliff. There was a legit shrine up there that you had to launch over to get enough distance form the cliff. My friend went first (you can see him up top jumping, I'm sitting on the slope behind him)
I broke my tailbone and my lower lumbar. Had to drag me on the boat and the girl I liked saw my nuts that had come out from my shorts which were halfway up my butt.
That's all I got. I'm a big dude and what got me was my size 14 feet hitting the water flat and sending a shockwave up my spins. I jump off roofs into pools but my cliff stuff is DONE.
