> [@newman](#): > > Most people overestimate the jump heights… someone told me akron falls was 55 feet. Measured out at 41. LOL I still think it’s more. It seemed it was 50-55 ft when you are standing up there. You can’t look you just gotta do it lol. ---

Someone once told me a yard stick is 3 feet long. I still think it’s more. Seems more like 42-43 inches when you are actually using it. You cant measure twice and cut once, you just gotta do it. el-oh-el. ---

He was a range finder. There was a popular spot in Maui that everyone said was 70 ft high siqqq!!! I measured it at 40-45 depending on the tide. lol This was it: ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f283/mrpaulo77/HI%20ps/paulochrisbenjump.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/3/135a205cf6655d699376d674e5b3bbc847379d67.jpeg) ---

I love jumping the cliff next to the dam at Rushford Lake. Problem is that they finally closed the fence off better and put barbed wire up so you cant climb over. I know its taller than Akron Falls if you were to jump from the top. But probably just an extra 10 ft or so. Still a hell of a climb to get to and a great jump with no worry in the world about hitting bottom. ---

There was way to many annoying voices in that video. I need to jump off something this summer, I have yet to do this sorta thing. When I was a kid I would jump off the top of the slide into the pool, it’s kinda in my blood so it’s surprising I haven’t done this yet. ---
