A Four Second Scream
So theres this place where alot of the thrill seekers go, or the partiers...or pretty much anyone who likes to get some adrenaline pumping through his or her veins...
Its called [size=18]"BIG FALLS
Ok, so pretty much, its a series of water holes behind a large lake...and the water comes from the hills and mountains of Northern/Central Cali...
There is one waterhole in particular that has a 20 foot deep pool, and is about 35 around.
You can ride a water slide into it, or jump from the many points...but you have to watch out because of the immense rock face infront of you when you jump, and the shallow rocks beneath you; so pretty much you have to jump within a 5-10 foot landing zone.
I jumped from 55 feet the other day. The highest jump, and i've never been there before...and it was a four second freefall....i landed in the water wrong, like i would if i was surfing reef or shallow beach break, and i hyperextended my lower back muscles, and i screwed up my tail bone...maybe on a rock or something...anyway, my lungs lost all air, and were expanding and contracting like nothing else!! my buddy had to save me because i was paralysed for a short time....even though its been a couple days, it still hurts like a bioch.

I can image. Whats that, like twice as high as them really high diving boards?

Ergh... tailbone. I feel your pain, buddy.
But it sounds like fun anyway :)

4 second scream? thats nothing. I had a 9 second one i recorded on my cell phone...although I could go much longer....didn't wanna hurt my vocal chords ya know? :D
Once in a football game I got sacked (that's when the quarterback gets tackled in the backfield hahaha) and hurt my tailbone. Couldn't sit down for a few days.:X
