bungee jump

I hope to go bungee jumping this weekend! I’m still not sure yet though, need to ask the person who’s taking me. If I go, I’ll be jumping off a 200 foot bridge, should be fun!

... ‘cause Craig promised me there’s no pinging sensation when you reach the end of the cord! Is he lying???

I remember the feeling as I stepped out onto the platform – I was 265ft. from the ground, standing at the edge of a bridge with my harness around my waist and the cord attached at my ankles. I looked down to the river below, dotted with boulders and fallen trees, all of a sudden not so sure of my decision to do this. And then the words “Don’t look down,” and my guide’s steady countdown to zero. The moment of truth arrived. I took a breath, closed my eyes, and suddenly I was flying.

As scary as it was, the feeling you get afterwards is like never else in the world. Just take a breath and jump.

We have a kind of a fair for the freshmen students at our university in September and in the past couple of years there has been the possibility of doing a bungee jump from 50 meters for an affordable price (20-25 euros). I did it once and I’m doing it again if I have the possibility.

I talked to my uncle, and he did this awesome bungee jump in BC. It was outdoors over a river and you can choose to be ‘dunked’ into the river or not. It’s also in a canyon and my uncle said it was crazy. I talked to him about it and he said he’ll take me if he goes again. If he doesn’t go with me, I’ll plan this for next summer. Definitely.

Sooo I went Bungee Jumping yesterday and it was amazing! I totally would recommend it to everybody. I jumped of a bridge in the Angeles Forest in Azusa. It was kind of scary when I got onto the platform and looked down, but I just sucked it up and went through with it. And I’m so happy I did because it was great. I went with Bungee America, and I would recommend them for anybody in the SoCal area. The only thing is its a 5 mile hike to and from the bridge, so 10 miles total. And it’s not just a trail…. lots of rocks and streams to go through. The hike was a bit brutal but I’m glad I did it :]

I dont know where i can do this around here but maybe in my travels i will stumble upon it and do it. we’ll wait and see what happens.

i bungee jumped for my 19th birthday. over a pool at the canadian national expo. it din’t look that high up from the ground, but from up top it felt like much much more. i almost chickened out actually, but my aunt and uncle had footed the cost and i didn’t want to tell them i wasted their money… so i jumped. and it was incredible!

if you get the chance, just do it…!

I don’t think I’ll have much chance in finding any bungee jumping events anymore (and my travel options are quite limited), so I guess this goal has to go on vacation once again.
But I do still want to do this one day.

Awesome. Once you get past of the initial shock of the freefall, you get such a rush!
