I'm so stoked! I went to the indoor pool here in Calgary and we were all busting off the platforms there. There's a 3,5,7, and 10 meter. Not very many people do tricks off the 10 meter, it's pretty high. So, anyways, I was up there and everyone was expecting my usual, a ganor. My heart was thumping and I dont' know what i was thinking but somehow I busted out a double ganor off the 10 meter.....in front of the dive club too! What an awesome feeling!!! So I encourage everyone to stick with it during the "winter". I always learn my new tricks during the winter and then get to show them off all summer long.
Thanks Guy! It's the greatest feeling in the world to accomplish something so freakin' insane. I can't wait to hit it up again...I'm kinda in recovery at the moment. The attempts didnt' go without damage though...my first one I pretty much stomped, then the second i bit my tongue and got a little bit of whiplash...the third I bruised the bottom of my foot and the last one left me with a 3 day long migraine. But it's totally worth it ha ha!!!! Once i get them dialed then there's no turning back for me, i'm moving on to triples.
Nice work, Kirsten! Truly inspiring. I tried the double off a 30 foot cliff at some falls early this summer, but I pulled out halfway through. I had plenty of fall time, so I've been toying with the idea since then. Sounds like you nailed it. Way awesome. Keep it up... ><>
That's insane girl!! I would love to have seen those double gainers!! It’s such a rush when you pull off a sweet trick in front of a lot of people…I miss doing that a lot! Everywhere there is a place to jump in San Diego has been shut down with the exception of two places…but they are so remote, it’s a hassle to make a trip to them on a regular basis. I need to find a pool here that has some diving boards…I would love to do some diving again. Anyway, Kudos to you for some awesome jumps!! If I ever get this stupid cliff jumping law repealed, I’ll be sure to invite you and all the other great cliff jumpers I have meet on the net.
