The long process of learning a new cliff dive. In cliff diving, most elements are high: the number of somersaults and twists, the entry speed, as well as of course the take-off height. However, when starting to build a new dive, the professional athletes of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series go back to poolside and start with the ‘basic maths’ of their sport; breaking the dive into different parts, just to put it all together again when diving from 28m, and this includes various lead-ups and ‘building blocks’, and sometimes learning the hard way... Building a new dive is a long, creative and intense process. But it pays off!

The season’s first stop on European soil was a return to the World Series’ all-time favourite location – La Rochelle. The town with the apt name of ‘little cliff’ was the lynchpin for the world’s cliff diving elite for the fifth time in the seven years of the series and it was Gary Hunt (516.00pts) who took an impressive win ahead of his nearest rivals. Second-placed Aldridge debuted a brand-new dive in World Series competition on Sunday - his reverse double somersault with five twists has no...

With two 10s from the judges and the highest-scoring three-second dive of the whole competition, Englishman Gary Hunt makes it three wins out of three with a new personal-best score of 533.90 points in Texas. The season’s third stop operated under a revised schedule due to the probability of severe weather conditions in the region and produced a World Series champions’ podium, as Orlando Duque, from Colombia, and Artem Silchenko, from Russia – the winners in 2009 and 2013 – completed the top-...

In the competition divers need to perform 4 dives each. Two easy dives called required dives and two difficult dives called optional dives. The easy dives are to show form and grace and the difficult dives are about doing as many somersaults and twists as possible. There are rules to follow about the types dives the athletes can perform and the direction of take off as well. How hey choose it? How they decide execute one dive and not a different one. © Red Bull Media House

The 2015 World Series, with two stops down, has been very much in English hands – two victories by Gary Hunt, a fourth and a second place for Blake Aldridge make it 670 points for the duo from the United Kingdom. When the cliff diving elite comes back to the 27m platform on Hell’s Gate at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas, on May 29, it is a return to the venue where in 2014 the competition turned into a high-scoring shootout. And it was ‘brilliant Brit’ Gary Hunt who made his mark with the highest...
