One reason: It's thrilling to ride a bike into the water. When I trained as a pool lifeguard, we frequently had to "rescue" bicycles that had been ridden off the high dive the night before. I imagine it's like crash-landing a plane, but with somewhat less risk of injury. (Although this would be slightly less tempting when the target is a filthy canal.)
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoThe speed boost from riding a bike off a high dive would be awesome but do you try to stay on it for the fall or do you separate midair and try not to land on top in the water?
- jethro_tell 4y agoYes, you absolutely want to separate falling off a buck when it's on the ground hurts enough, falling from 12 feet with a bar between your legs is a bad idea. We used to tie our bikes to the end of the peer and do tricks then pull them up by the string. It's pretty fun.
