The Bungee Jump - Most Extreme Jump

As something of a bungee jumping fanatic I have recently been experimenting with ways to take the enjoyment of bungee jumping even further. This lead me to the South of France where I decided to try the notorious 'sandbagging' .

This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, and you really shouldn't try it, but I'll explain it here. You jump holding a heavy weight; once you get to the bottom of the drop, you let go of the weight. All of the extra elastic energy the weight put into the cord is now transferred to you, making you fly MUCH higher than the place you jumped from.
It's important to consider that you will fly back toward what you jumped from, which is usually pretty solid. Hence, you could fly back into the platform at great speed! If you jump from the opposite side of a bridge (opposite to the side the cord is attached) you may bounce back above the bridge (if you are lucky).
You need to account for your weight and the weight of the sandbag when working out what cord to use. Since subsequent rebounds will be just you (on a cord designed for a heavier weight), they will be pretty harsh. Plus, you must make sure you can hold onto the sandbag until the end of your first drop !!!!!

( Not recommended for beginner jumpers !!!! )

Zorbing

The latest thrill seekers dream to come out of New Zealand has well and truly arrived. The zorb ball also known as the sphere. My experience has introduced me to something I have never encountered before. Having enjoyed some of the most thrilling and extreme adventures known to man, this is certainly amongst one of my favourites. What can be more fun then a casual roll down a hill in a large inflatable globe? Well there is nothing casual about this experience, in fact it is as extreme as it gets! This is an adrenaline rush like no other! Throw in some soapy water and even jump in with a partner to create a day to enjoy. I do confess that at one point I had to look over my shoulder to make sure my breakfast had not come back up to join in ! A workout and shower in one, what more could you want?  Ps. I would certainly prefer to go in the summer as I doubt it is as much fun in the rain ! (Mind you summer in the UK does not guarantee a dry day by any means !
