hey guys hows it going…. love what you’ve done showing how safe tombstoning can be but have you thought of trying higher heights…??? my mates and I have been tombstoning for years and living in south west wales we have scouted a lot of exellent safe high jumps which gives you more of a rush!!! from what I’ve seen on this site that heights been jumped off are more towards the lower end of jumps which we use more for show off tricks more than anything…. would be great if you guys could contact me on my e-mail sometime to discuss…!!!

Hi guys, great site and good to see people combining the great fun you can have tombstoning in safe environments.

I’m currently doing a newspaper and magazine degree at Camborne College Cornwall and would love to compile an article based on tombstoning, with your assistance.

Any response would be much appreciated.

Hi Dan / Ben

Good site. I like the way you are promoting the activity with balanced messages. I’d quite like to share some of the information we’ve gathered about Tombstoning incidents and see if we can help promote some of the safety messages. I wrote a discussion piece about TS last summer and did some work with RNLI to get some balanced safety messages out, after calls to ban the activity was made in the press (not by us).

This is very exciting….I hope that the result is a true reflection of what we do and the lengths we go to…. rather than the usual media twist.
