00:00Riverside's built for bombing. We've got a one metre platform, we've got a three metre deep end.
00:06It's just past time from, you know, 60 years ago when the pool was built.
00:11It's a place to come and bomb.
00:16We've got a rope set up, that's for height of the bomb.
00:18So that's one of our main things we're looking for is the splash.
00:21So what I did is I set it up four metres above the water,
00:25and the kids were just nailing that, so I put it up another metre to five.
00:29Now we've got our top rope at six metres above the water,
00:32so that's the main thing we're going to be looking at.
00:35That'll be our point system.
00:43From little kids from under the age of five right up to pensioners.
00:48It's just something that people have done here for a long, long time,
00:51so everyone wants to come and have a crack.
00:53We'll give you one point for that for effort, but you didn't even hit the blue rope.
00:57That's why I'm not competing.
01:01Yeah, so I Google searched it.
01:03I couldn't find anything for a Tasmanian or Australian championships.
01:06The only thing I could come up with was the Manure Championship in New Zealand.
01:10Saw what they were doing.
01:12Everyone was having such a good time.
01:22Two points.
01:24Six metres of rope, it's a big bomb.
01:27Yeah.
