Title: I want to do this
Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, November 16, 2009, 19:22:51
I've done a skydive, and would love to do a bungee, but I think this beats the lot

mental. or 'epic', possibly my least favourite word in the world.

EDIT: actually, its 'banter'.

If you go sky diving in a collared shirt, tuck the collar in. I went years ago and didn't. I almost passed out from the collar battering my ears for what felt like hours. The only good bit i thought was when you're about to leave and then when you leave, flop forward and see the plane again.

Yep, Make a wish foundation :) I'm really scared of heights too!

Have you done one then Luci?

I will have someone strapped to the back of me...(Well I hope so) Which is probably even more scary as I'm not in control of my own life!

Ha ha I wish! Might get to see some of that Aussie sun that way!

I tried to get some mates to do that with me a few years ago, but i couldn't talk them into a trip just to do a Bungee. Supposed to be 6 seconds of freefall isn't it? I have a mate who did it and reckoned it was amazing.

I did a 44 metre 1 years ago and fucking loved it. My fear of heights and that incredible in-built desire for self-preservation made it fucking hard. I was properly so up for it, even when about to go, but there's just something in your head that tells you to not be stupid isn't there? It's weird.

I also won't do it over anything other than water again, because they fucked up my weight and i hit the water (after requesting to remain dry) to my ankles. Mashed potato would have been the result over solid ground.

To be fair one of the blokes was off his box on pills or something and was chewing holes in his face.
