Ledge Bungy Jump Flip [VIDEO]

Bungy jumping the Ledge Bungy overlooking Queenstown, New Zealand.  Since the harness is on your chest instead of your feet, the Ledge is unique because it’s the only bungy where you can jump freestyle any way you like! I chose the Reverse/Gainer.

A working sheep farm outside Queenstown, New Zealand on Lake Wakatipu. The only way to access the farm is via the TSS Earnslaw Steamship. I took this same trip when I was 12 and again when I was 26.

Auckland Harbor Rum Race [VIDEO]

I work on the North Shore so during my daily commute I cross the Auckland Harbor Bridge. When I cross the bridge the sun is either rising or setting over the harbor which makes the thousands of boats look very picturesque. Being landlocked from St. Louis, sailing has always really intrigued me. One day I went down to the Ponsonby Cruising Club to see what I could find about learning to sail. A skipper I talked to offered me a spectator seat for the weekly “Rum Race”. Here is some video from that trip:

Ever since then I’ve been determined to learn how to sail so I’m taking lessons next week.
