Have you ever jumped in a downtown location, like off a building? I assume that 10 stories is too low for that… ---

It looks like the water can get really low at times… maybe I’ll have to do a midnight raid sometime… ![http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2567/4040152023_4dbd79579a_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/1/4161d90237765e87ef8fba744166330eb98a4a1d.jpeg) ---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ---------- > [@jimmyfloyd](#): > > Have you ever jumped in a downtown location, like off a building? I assume that 10 stories is too low for that… Yes, but not off a building. I have 3 jumps in downtown buffalo. 10 stories is too low… that’s about 125’… that’s barely enough time to fly and flare and you have to tuck and roll the landing… here’s a vid: [https://vimeo.com/33031783](https://vimeo.com/33031783) 180 to 200 is a good building height so long as it’s got a decent landing zone… so about 17+ stories. ---

The Central Terminal would probably be a good height to jump from. If only you would have gotten to it before they locked it down. Shit, you probably did. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk ---

I’ve seen that ledge in the photo you posted with even less water. Might be worth scouting out. I’m not sure how practical it would be, but there’s also a bend in the river in Letchworth with a pretty shear face, and plenty of open shore line along the river. It’s either Great Bend or inspiration point. I don’t recall which. ---
