I found the tastey looking gem online. going to check it out tomorrow to see how tall it really is. What do you all think(using the man swimming as a refrence) do you think it will be too big of a drop?

I have hit that gap before. It is about two humans high, and none of us ever landed it. It was crazy. The horizon just ended as you were riding up to it.

-LoGiK-, thats not the same gap. there are many gaps on 321, it's not the same one.

And it doesnt appear to be the same gap as Jama either. I think Blake, Jenkins and I checked out you gap and decided not to hit it.

Unless they have the same exact layout...but they look 100% identical other than size and water flow

I can see the island where we pulled the rider from and the concrete barrier on the other side we used to climb up the gap?

Yeah this isnt the same one. Cookville is in north tn about 50 west of knoxville. I got several spots scoped out in tn, the spring trip should be siiik.

-LoGiK-, You are 100% right, they look the exact same. I Just watched this video, even the sign off to the right. But I just saw this gap in person today. and it's 7ish foot. So unless the camera angle in the video made it seem monsterous, this isnt the same gap.
