This is me jumping, gaining some serious ground. It is roughly a 3-4 feet drop from the top of the platform to the sand. When you run and jump off the platform, you literally feel like you are flying for a split second. Major adrenaline rush! I think I won the contest this time around, having jumped 13-14 feet. Landing is the funnest part because it sometimes hurts. If you don't position your feet and body correctly while landing, be prepared to eat Mexican sand.
