Bungee Jumping... no seriously, BUNGEE JUMPING!

It started off as a simple google search one night when we were bored and wanting to do something crazy; yesterady it ended with me jumping off a 165ft bridge with nothing but a cord strapped to my ankles! Literally, the most thrilling and exhilarating experience of my life so far!
The bridge was in Glen's Ferry Idaho, about 4 hours away. We hit the road at 6:30 am (after dancing all night long at our Valentines party!) and met up with our instructor, Chris, at noon. He gave us a quick tutorial and then we hiked up, underneath the bridge, where we would be jumping from. Five of us were harnessed together while the other person jumped so that we could pull the jumper up. Sounds simple, but we were standing on this very narrow, maybe 3ft wide, gratted plank that shakes and swings everytime a truck drive over the bridge. You can see the water beneath you as you walk back and forth with nothing to hold on to but two tiny wires on each side of you! If that wasn't intense enough, it gets to my turn, they call me over, strap my ankles to a cord, and tell me to step out onto a 5 inch thick metal rail where I will be jumping from!! Wow, I don't think I've ever been so scarred, and so excited at the same time. I found that nothing gets you to jump more than peer pressure and a 5 second count down!
Now you can all watch the video of me terrified out of my mind (hence the fact that I don't say a word throughout the video!)
After jumping and experiencing 3 huge pull-back jumps, they pulled me up, put me back on the rail and told me to jump again! Beleive me, the second time was just as bit as scarry as the first!
The whole experience was so incredible! We are hoping to do it again in Powell this summer with a drop three times as big!
