[Budget Nudist]

i heard it's really scary and all..
some friends told me im gonna be aight..but for god seeks it's a jump from an 5 floor apartment..hmm experience?

[gerbick]

yes, about 5 years ago. 4 times in one day.

Was in Utah, and some dudes were doing it on a bridge over a canyon. Did it, enjoyed the living daylights out it, and did it... well, 4 times in one day.

5 story apartment? sure you want smack your head on the side of the building?

i know someone who did it off of a bridge above of a raging river (like huge rapids and stuff) he was scared out of his mind, but said it was fun

Never Bungee jumped yet, but I did skydive. That was FUN!

[big_k]

I would like to do it one day!

The video camera (if there is one) hooked to ya head, would make great viewing afterwards.

i wanna bungee jump, and after that i wanna go skydiving....there is just alot more risk in that, but seems much more fun

I have never jumped before, but I wouldn't hesitate for a second if I had the opportunity......I think the self-pride that comes afterwards serioursly overpowers the fear.

I've jumped twice now, both time in Airlie Beach, Australia. What a rush, totally loved it even tho I'm scared of heights!

I got the chance to bungee in mexico last year. It is such a cool expirience. A five story building seems a little small? I dunno...I did mine off a cliff, over looking the ocean. It was sweet...wait a minute, just do the 5story building cuase bungee is sweet. Just make sure you watch someone go first, you know, test the rope and what not. have fun.

I've done a reverse bungee, in one of those round cages. Very good actually, when you get to the top you lose weightlessness.

I did that 220 meter James Bond bungee jump some years ago.

Anyway, skydiving is much better.

You can actually do a bungee jump off the bottom of a hot air balloon.

but you need to be in the air

Really?

We are planning a similar Guinness Book record jump in March. 18 skydivers jumping out of a hot air balloon (A really big one).

I'm still not sure if I have the money, but it would be a dream.

I couldn't afford the price at the moment, I've heard base jumping is quite a rush too.

Base jumping is not legal in Switzerland.

But I will sure try it someday.

wowsers! by reading your stuff it sounds really neato..

Okay at first I thought the OP's name was "bungie nudist" which would have given the thread a whole new spin.

Jumping from a five story building sounds kinda dangerous. Have people jumped before??

Do you have the right equipment?? It all has to be adjusted for bodyweight etc if I'm not mistaken. I heard a story of some guys who got high and decided to "bungie" off a bridge using plain rope, the guy jumped and kept going to the ground.. leaving his foot still tied to the rope in the air.

I'd love to go skydiving sometime.. they have tandum jumping for $350 CAD over the summer, I think that's similar.
