The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, established in 2009, is an annual international series of cliff diving events in which a limited number of competitors determine the Cliff Diving World Series winner. Divers jump from a platform at a height ranging from 26–28 m (85-92ft). Competitions are held in a limited number of venues around the globe. As if the jump itself wasn’t enough, all dives submitted in a list must consist of at least 180 degrees of rotation around a horizontal axis!
