the main attraction in Acapulco

wow wow wow.....I had at least 6 heart attacks tonight...
we went to watch the famous cliff springers of Acapulco....(the calvadadores.....) and they took all the thrills out of me......their performance is just incredible and I was fearing for them with each jump.......


they jump 36 m into the void......it just freaks the hell out of me! and the youngest one is about 12 years old.....(and no women ....I wonder why...)

history:
La Quebrada (Spanish for "gulch" or "ravine") is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Acapulco, Mexico. Divers entertain tourists by jumping off the 45 meter (148 ft) high cliff. The divers must calculate the right moment to jump to catch an incoming wave and avoid serious injury or death. Occasionally jumpers dive with a torch. Most of the divers come from the family of Quebrada divers. Although cliff diving at La Quebrada had taken place for many years, it was not until 1934 that the La Quebrada Cliff Divers was formed.
