Bungee Jumping

Back in February i went bungee jumping for my 25th birthday. If any of you watch the Bachelor i went where he went with his first date with Vienna. It's called the Bridge to Nowhere, literally it's off this bridge that is tucked 5 miles back into the mountains. It was so fun and a different kind of exhilaration. Since i've been skydiving i can compare for you, as everyone asks, this is definitely a quick adrenaline rush that come and goes quickly rather then a long term adrenaline rush. I think it's scarier just because the ground is MUCH closer and you are jumping off the side of a freakin bridge!!! See the scariness for yourself! :)

Videos of me to come...have some technical difficulties with my camera :(

Hiking to the bridge, walking through rivers and valleys to get there!

See the red platform on the top left, that's what we jumped off of

Since i am the better picture taker, these are some pics of my friend John for you to get an idea of how all this looks. We did 3 jumps each: forward, backwards, and vertical (which is just stepping back and going straight down - by FAR the scariest because your body doesn't register that you're falling since you are still standing straight up)
