It is so refreshing and funny to hear absolutely clean and funny true life stories. Cheers to you Jeanne from someone from a younger generation. My mom came by for cofee this morning and I had to pee so bad by the third video and I hadnt finished my first cup yet!!!! Eyes tearing stumbling. You never want to try and aim in full laughter!! No accuracy whatsoever. In the space of 30 minutes i had to wipe my screen from coffee up my nose and scrub my entire bathroom!!!

Taupo Bungy was great only dissapointing thing was the video footage. The example stuff they have running on a screen there looks impressive but you pay $50 and what you get on the disc looks like its been filmed on a el cheapo camera phone. I was expecting it to be HD. So glad I got someone else to film my jump with my own HD cam.
