Jump , catching air.
I go the idea from another forum. How about pictures catching air.
Here's me today-
If someone tells me to go jump off a cliff...I do!

Looks like fun Brule!
A guy jumped off the Hacienda bridge into the Russian River the other day and died.
I have seen 2 other people meet the same fate after jumping off the Lake Berryessa bridge.
One of my friends jumped off a pretty high rock next to the same bridge and split his forehead wide open just from impacting the water.
I don't jump off of high bridges or rocks anymore because of the fatalities that I have witnessed.
If it's not too high (less that 30 ft.) and I know the area real well I will still have some fun.

That looked high from above, but looking up from the water it was not much of a jump

I'll have to get some pics next time I'm at Green River....There's a nice ~20ft jump there. Scares the hell out of me everytime I do it, but I can't stop ....Typically toss the throwable boat cushion out there ahead of me though. Just in case I catch a "shock" from the impact, as well as have someone standing by with a lifevest on to come get me if I need it.
Tons of fun!

Only way to see me catching some air would be if someone lit a keg of gunpowder under me.
but I did get a cool shot during a snowstorm a few years ago of a kid on a toboggan sledding off his roof.
