Aswome experience Tommy. I have to admit it was the scariest jump I have ever made and I have made freefall and static parachute line jumps in a 'stick' at night going out the door of a C-130 and a C141 with guys up close and personal....still nothing is quite like getting out on the rail of a bridge to jump....anyone says they were not chickensheeit scared are lying...of course the danger is the thrill too! ;-]>

    dude! i did the bungee thing in new zealand back in '01. it was a great location, bridge over a deep ravine with a river at the bottom. sounds like the same setting you'll have. 
  i have to admit, i chickened out after standing on the ledge for about 10 minutes, couldn't do it. it bugged me so bad i went back the next day and got it done.
  the key is (at least for chickenshits like me) is to just get up there and go, DON'T WAIT!
  what's NOT cool about it is bouncing around upside down, twirling around, waiting for the boat to pull you in. good thing i hadn't eaten beforehand!
  the place i was at is:

  it sounds like a great day planned for a great guy. i'll be thinking about your adventure on the 5th!
  hugs and kisses,

  For my 60th b'day I'm surfing in the morning and bungee jumping in the afternoon!

The jump is off the "Bridge to Nowhere" (Angeles Forest near Azusa). Its a 150' drop off a bridge into a ravine on July 5th. This is the only outfit(Bungee America) legally certified to jump off a bridge in California and its an unforgettable experience. If you are man enough (okay crazy enough) to want to jump let me know. Details are on the web site. Do a google search for Bungee America.

Getting there is half the fun...You will forge a river 5-6 times on the hike up to the bridge. If you are in reasonable shape you won't have a problem. but if you aren't in shape, have bad knees or ankles or have a weak ticker or no heart at all which is 97% of you slackers this is your excuse to stay home. ;-]> If there is a rigging, harness or bungee cord failure there is enough water rushing over the river rocks below to erase any evidence of your death.

P.S. Anyone who wants to join TPR after 2008 will have to go.
