Here's an idea..... lets go fling ourselves off a 134 meter high platform into a huge canyon with only a small harness on.... sure why not.... been there, done that.

But for real... thats exactly what Will and Wes did. They decided to sign up for one of the highest bungy jumps in the world and I was there to take pictures. We took a 40 min drive to the mountains where we got on a little cable car to take us to the "jumping pod" where the action happens. This "pod" is suspended between a huge canyon above the Nevis River. The guys had excellent form as they jumped off the platform with video proof too. Ill try to put the videos up when I can figure it out.

I was too chicken to do that jump, and I know for a fact that I could never throw myself off like that. So I did the Nevis Arc... which is like a giant swing, from 140 meters above the same canyon, attached to a 120 meter long cable. It was sooooooo exciting and fun. I cried, laughed, screamed and almost passed out all in one go!!!!!

Needless to say, we were all pretty pumped up after that day!
