dixieskydiver 0 #1 May 31, 2005 So I leave for Cusco, Peru tomorrow morning at 4 am. One of adventurous friends just alerted me to the fact that there is a 122 meter bungee jump just outside of town which claims to be North and South America´s tallest bungee jump. I know I´m doing it, but would you? Link! Dixie HISPA #56 Facil Rodriguez "Scientific research has shown that 60% of the time, it works every time."

dixieskydiver 0 #3 May 31, 2005 Atta boy. I´ve just seen some of the reactions from other bungee threads, skydivers aren´t so thrilled about the whole rubber band thing.

grue 1 #4 May 31, 2005 QuoteAtta boy. I´ve just seen some of the reactions from other bungee threads, skydivers aren´t so thrilled about the whole rubber band thing. My propensity for oft-considered idiotic actions has been well documented in both my medical records and word-of-mouth traditional storytelling in my family. It's a sacred rite of passage to learn the antics of the grue in the past, and always be aware of what he's currently up to. Before induction into the family's inner circle, these stories must be learned, and they always start with "one day, your (brother, uncle, cousin) grue had an idea..." A mark of a future tribal elder is that he or she will often know what bad idea I'm going to do before I even do it, and attempt to intervene. Rarely does this happen, and it is unheard of for the intervention to succeed.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixieskydiver 0 #10 May 31, 2005 QuoteHell no. I came into this world because of a broken rubber. I ain't leaving because of one! Blues, Dave That´s good shit, I´m going to use that. Of course, if the band had broken in Australia the first time or Myrtle Beach the second time I figure I would have been alot better off than if this mofo breaks in the middle of nowhere Peru...oh well. I bet they´d let me BASE it if I actually owned-had some BASE gear. Dixie HISPA #56 Facil Rodriguez "Scientific research has shown that 60% of the time, it works every time."

crotalus01 0 #12 May 31, 2005 bungee jumped once in Florida and thought it was a waste of good money...why would i want to pay several jump tickets worth of cash to bounce around on a big rubber band when i could be getting several freefalls AND canopy rides??? As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixieskydiver 0 #13 May 31, 2005 I´m not sure but I think the 100 is a package deal with whatever that slingshot is and the bungee...so hopefully the bungee is only 50 Dixie HISPA #56 Facil Rodriguez "Scientific research has shown that 60% of the time, it works every time."
