A cliff-jumping daredevil from Cuckfield stunned onlookers by performing a double-flip from more than 100 feet in Dartmoor.

James Williams-Fuller, 32, pulled off the ‘extremely exhilarating’ stunt on Sunday, July 31, after two months of training.

“I did two front flips and on the second front flip I did a half twist so I ended up landing the opposite direction,” he said.

James, an ambassador for UK Cliff Jumping, believes this was the first double-flip in England from more than 100 feet.

He does not want to reveal the location of the cliff though because he doesn’t want inexperienced people trying it themselves.

“I’ve been there a number of times,” said James, adding that his team took extensive safety precautions.

“We depth checked the water and checked again. We had a swim around to make sure there was nothing floating underwater and we had two experienced people as safety in the water.”
