A daredevil craze that sees wannabe stuntmen as young as ten riding their scooters at speed off the edge of jetties and into the ocean has emerged in Adelaide
The video shows a group of youngsters plummeting one by one into the marina while clinging onto their scooters.
Many attempt a few tricks on their descent to roaring cheers of approval by friends who watch from just centimetres away from their landing zone.
Others who are feeling anxious about the stunt are encouraged until they eventually agree to participate.
Despite being a rite of passage for many teenagers, jetty jumping was outlawed in Glenelg in 2013.

Authorities are enraged by the dangerous craze, which emerged in a video (pictured) filmed at Adelaide’s Glenelg Marina on Wednesday
But beachgoers remain undeterred after it was revealed not one fine has been handed down in the five years since it came into effect, The Messenger reported.
The activity continues to concern authorities who have conceded there is little that can be done to stop it.
‘I honestly don’t know what more we can do,’ Surf Life Saving SA’s Sonya Williamson said.
‘We ask that people please, please don’t let a trend change your life for the worse.’
