All my best friends are freaks who enjoy bungee jumping, skydiving, rap jumping, etc. I thus have had numerous occasion to partake in these crazy activities. I am however not afraid to admit that when it comes to these things, I'm a complete sissy. I refuse. I end up being the camera man, down on terra firma.
I take my hat of to you brave damsel!
fanks glug...me a damsel...i like that!
i've never done the bungee thing- but i've done a canopy tour and microlight flying- loved both!
i'd much rather drive fast though... or be in a car driven by a pro...
"Pro" is my middle name. Low flying on SA roads is my game!
You have to do low flying, to avoid the potholes!
This experience must have been very traumatic if you did it in Jan and only post about it now.
i actually forgot about it...yesterday i was reflecting on the past year...and it all came rushing back...but yes...oh yes...it was really traumatic!!!
I did it a couple of years ago, best feeling ever! I screamed all the way down and up and down and up, was hysterical.
I think I might do it again!
i SERIOUSLY doubt i'd ever attempt it sweetass...
ooh i love flying glugster!!! wotchoodrivin?
miss m: i forgot about the up and down and up and down part, it felt like forever! you crazy bunny, you wanna do it again...no!
angel: you at least have to try it once! come on!!! take damien, for some reason kids love it!
Oooooh awesome! That's still on my to-do list. But I've done sky diving and canopy tour, which were both great.
Good for you :-)
That is so fuckin' awesome. I'm jealous. I've been saying I'm gonna do it for years. One of these days...
louise: if you've done sky diving...bungee will be easy... but do it, it's one of those things that you just have to do once in your life!
curious: go babe! it's great fun, you'll never regret it!
