As the sun sets on this show -- we focus on the celestial occurrence today, as many extreme divers took advantage of the first solar eclipse to occur in 38-years in the U-S, as the Red Bull Cliff Diving series took to Oregon during the natural phenomenon.
Australian female cliff diver Helena Merten joins male counterparts Orlando Duque, David Colturi and Andy Jones for an eclipse leap. They jump from a special 20-metre platform in McMinnville, Oregon, one of the best places to see the eclipse. The quartet will carry on to the next stop on the calendar in Texas. Colombian legend Duque will be looking to retain his lead September third.
