Anyone done it? How was it? Please tell me it isn't as scary as it looks.

I'll be in NZ next week doing a 134m jump. I'm petrified of heights but I'm more scared of the piss taking I'll cop from my mates if I don't do it.

uh oh

You have to do it, as your mates will fucking hammer you if you don't. Plus, if you walk away from it, you'll regret it for the rest of the holiday - unless it's on the last day!
 
It's absolutely brilliant, one of the best things I've ever done. Would be amazing in New Zealand.

The scariest bit is the journey up and after you've first jumped waiting a few seconds when you feel like you're in free fall until the rope kicks in.

The key is not to delay it once you're up there, just jump without over thinking it. If you wait and start looking down and worrying then you're fucked.

Enjoy!
 
Always think of this;



Never done one but would love to. Also want to do a sky dive. Already done skidding down a glacier which is the only thing that comes close.

This is what I'm worried about lol. Hopefully when I'm on the ledge I'll just say "Fuck it." and jump.

I booked this trip a couple of months ago and have had a few nightmares involving bungy jumping since...not joking haha
 
My mate paddy gave it a go. He went to the pet shop and got as many caged birds as he could. He tied them to himself and jumped off the CIS tower. He survived the fall, but was in a coma for months. When he came around, the doctor asked how he was feeling, "Oh grand", he replied, "but it's the last time I try dat budgie jumping!'.
 
Great fun, did water touch & backward 2 times at Kawarau Bridge Queenstown almost 20 years ago.
