A beautiful June day in Racine, Wi can only mean one thing.. the quarry! The first straight down cliff is approx. 50 ft, and the second cliff is approx. 55ft

The quarry is right next to the racine country club golf course! It's also a beach and/or park, and families go there often too. Keep in mind, it's you do walk past clear signage saying it's not 'legal' :)

Ur kinda stupid I go there all the time that is not a 50 ft cliff

Yes 3youngbuckbj, I must be stupid... How could I leave such a wide margin of error by only approximating the height (with my years of experience jumping as well). Thankfully, I reviewed the footage and timed out the free fall to be 1.673 seconds. No need to approximate here! Use a basic kinematics equation, just ask your math teacher, and it turns out the jump was 45.3 ft. I'll give you a chance to check over my math:

t = 1.673 seconds

4.9 t^2 = 13.716m

13.716 m = 45.3 ft

Also, what video editing software did you use for this video? I've been trying to find a nice, easy, reliable software for some time now.
