Maybe they're jumping off 50-foot *quarry *walls or grinding a skateboard down a flight of stairs.
What's *quarry wall*?

A quarry is a large hole in the ground where they mine stone for building purposes etc.. It usually has very sheer sides, may cover many hectares, and may be very deep. |

To make a hole, dig a tunnel; to excavate the earth for the purpose of extracting ore or minerals.
