I would like to go this sunday if more people are interested

 

For you guys that like jumping off of our out of things i know of a good cliff jumping spot, its about a mile off of some offroading trails that i go to in chester CT. We should go this summer, do a little wheeling trip then hike to the abandoned rock quary. Theres a 40 foot cliff and a 25 foot cliff, its so much fun.

 

I'm game

 

If i can figure out how to get a video off of my facebook and post it here i will, i backfliped the 25 foot cliff

 

:O that's awesome!

 

Depending on the weekend, I'm down for cliff jumping. I gotta check and see just how far away it is though...

 

That looks fun . Shit I'm up for skydiving too .

 

Hey Evan have you tried drilling yet?

 

Not yet, worked late the last 2 days so i havnt had time

 

We need to see that

 

New Britain reservoir?

 

No but i have heard of that, isnt there a 60-70 footer there? This is an abandon rock quarry in chester CT, its not 100 % legal haha. The only people that will go back there every once in awhile is DEP, and they are hardly ever there. I did get get caught there once with like 6 people, we got one 70 dollar ticket to split in between us, the guy could have written us each a ticket but he was cool about it.

 

Gotcha. NB reservoir is also not legal, neither is Plainville reservoir. I grew up in Southington, which is in a valley between the two towns. New Britain has a giant ass cliff. Not sure how high, but it makes your ass pucker up. Plainville just has a ~40' jump off of a control structure that's about 100' out into the reservoir.

 

re-did CB mount

 

Nice!

 

Nice. Do you just leave the antenna on all the time?

 

Replaced the 885's with 886's, got an inch back(insert joke here),just need to get the Dakars on and the locker installed.
These are a much firmer spring,i used to float over the speeed bumps at work,now you can feel it.
I might be up for the 25 footer not sure about the 40.

 

So you'd say you've got a firm inch? :snicker:

 

The 40fter isn't bad. Sketchiest part is getting onto the roof of the control structure. The structure is accessed via a catwalk that spans the length between the bank and the structure. You have to climb onto the metal catwalk railing, and pull yourself up onto the roof. After that all you have to do is not look down and huck yourself off.

 

yup

we'll just tell you the 40 footer is really 25ft
