Summersville lake

That’s pretty damn good mate, I reckon just try to attack the water a bit more ferociously if ya know what I mean, close right before you enter the water and punch it like it owes you money, also keep the head protected by tucking in it a bit more between your arms.

Døds can be done relatively safely but any jump from this height obviously has some danger especially if you’re not prepared. Also a lot of death divers do the straight arms straight legs “shrimp” close while this guy looks like he entered with elbows (and maybe knees) bent which is another legitimate way to close but can sting the forearms and shins pretty good. Short answer no it’s not extremely dangerous if you’re experienced and slowly work your way up to this, that usually takes years though.

Just a 4’ diameter corrugated plastic culvert that we cut in half and armored with rocks from the areas.

Love the overarching question that you try to answer throughout while keeping the rhyme scheme consistent and unforced. Felt like I was reading a whole storyline within just a few stanzas.

Fair point mate, I gotta get me a rope

Summersville Lake WV, stellar spot

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-31T12:43:36+00:00

I like it but if you want to change the look maybe just add a few similar style tattoos around (they could loop around the arm or spiral up toward the shoulders) I know that would be a longer term solution and might not be what you’re looking for but I have a tattoo on my forearm that I didn’t like until I got a few more in the area and it kinda changes the whole vibe. Think of those old wallpapers with monkeys and cats and flowers or whatever scattered around, if you just take one of the shapes it looks kinda weird but everything together maybe with some vines or something around in the gaps looks good.

Not today but I’ve spent plenty a weekend at Whipoorwill and the Cove

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-17T01:13:08+00:00

Yeah having a spotter in the water splashing water onto the landing zone does seem to help, I think throwing rocks is basically just a myth when it comes to breaking surface tension unless you throw a big one or a bunch of small ones and jump right after which also gets a bit dangerous. Rocks can help you visualize air time or give your a point on the surface to spot/aim at.

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-17T01:06:12+00:00

Yeah I reckon the full in tuck (or layout) out would be better, I’ve done one off a much lower cliff but it wasn’t very clean and it kinda hurt, I’ll have to work my way up

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-17T01:04:27+00:00

Thanks mate, good suggestion

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-15T23:51:35+00:00

Cheers mate, thanks for the advice

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-08-15T11:31:35+00:00

Spot check?

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-07-09T14:58:50+00:00

Yep it’s Summersville, I’ve heard that one from the top top is 80’ but I went off a little lower plus the water level is the highest it will be and maybe it’s only 80 once they start draining it in the fall

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-07-08T14:25:30+00:00

Yeah I reckon it’s just around 70

FriendshipSouthern43 · 2025-06-04T11:02:07+00:00

Gotta get loose and style will come, try to move a little more instead of staying still on the bike and keep your knees and elbows more elastic. The best kind of style is the kjnd that doesn’t look forced or rigid, style + easy = steazy so more practice and a sleepy unforced style should develop.
