Sponsored Bungee Jump

Post by simon » Thu Jul 06, 2006 12:52 pm

I'm doing a sponsored bungee jump on the 15th July in Arbroath.
It's from a 160ft platform and the money is going to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
So if anyone would like to sponsor me, it'd be very much appreciated.
You can do it online here:

Cheers

Si.

Oh my fukcing god, how much of a rush was that!!?!
The first few tenths of a second are incredible, it just feels like you're jumping to your death but the adrenaline rush is amazing.

Cheers to everyone who chipped in, I'll put the total up once I've got it all as there's a couple people said they'd give me money but I haven't seen them yet. Should be something like £280, which is great since I only signed up for it on Monday :D

Got a video but it's not that great as it was only 1 guy doing it and he was filming from the cage. It's also on VHS and I have no way yet of getting it on DVD but as soon as I do I'll post it up.

What is this? Drag up the old threads night? ;)
Yes I have the vid on DVD but it's rubbish, glad it was free! My brother took a video on his phone so I can post that up but it could be anyone. The DVD does at least prove I did it! I'll try and find convert it into something I can post up eventually.
