Seems ironic. Just found out it costs $114. Not worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kills me is I believe in another thread they said Vegas wouldn't allow a tunnel. Seems ironic. Just found out it costs $114. Not worth it. Fuck no. Not after you've skydived 1300 times. I did a bungee jump one time after I'd had 300 jumps and I was like, that's it? What a rip off! Now if there was a ride where you could test your cut-away timing on a bungee cord, you jump and the bungee slows you down to a near stop just as you reach the ground, you cutaway and you walk away standing. Of course there would be airbags all around if you fuck up the timing and go flying back up briefly. That might make it a bit more exciting. And yes, it's been done before.

I've done some from towers that were no big deal, but the one from a hot air balloon 300' above hard desert ground was scarier than any of my skydives.But what do I know?

JohnMitchell 16 #33 April 23, 2010 The place I bungee at in Nanaimo, B.C. is up in the foothills over a mountain stream. The bridge is 50 meters up, the river about 30 feet deep, and very clear. So it's not as great as a good skydive, but it's very scenic, and if you want, they let the rope out a little and dunk your head in the water. Always refreshing. They also have a nice snack bar, volleyball court, and bonfire pit. It's a little like a nice DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
