About stuff, in little portions: Ways To Bungee Jump

Ways To Bungee Jump

There are many ways to bungee jump. While this extreme sport has one main method, there are many varieties that have come to life in the past decade of this international sport. As the old adage goes, 'variety is the spice of life'. This is true even in the already spicy endeavor of bungee jumping.

The variety in bungee jumping usually comes from the position in which you perform the jump, how you are tethered, and any 'tricks' you may attempt to perform during the jump or the rebound. First, let's take a look at the different methods of being tethered, and see what impact that has on your jump.

The most common attachment method is the use of a body harness. The body harness attaches to your body near the center of gravity, or your belly button. One effect of this type of tethering is that it makes it easier to perform flips and spins. Leg harness or ankle harnesses are another way of attaching to the bungee cord. This type of tethering allows for more of the free fall feeling that is traditional with bungee jumping. It is strictly based on the example of the land divers in the South Pacific. Just these two different ways to bungee jump have a vast impact on the performance of the jump and the sensations afforded the jumper. The other variations basically depend on your position when you jump. We will examine a few of these ways to bungee jump in greater detail here.

The position that comes highly recommended is called the Swallow Dive. Just as it sounds, your flight downward will resemble the dive of the bird. Initiated by taking a 'flying leap' away from the platform, the body forms the shape of a bird with the arms outstretched like a bird's wings.

Another way to bungee jump is called the Bat Drop. In this position, you are held in place upside down. This is achieved either with the help of the jump crew, or by suspending by your toes off the platform. The effect is less wind resistance, and you drop like a rock on this one.

The most common way to bungee jump when jumping off of a bridge is to do the Rail Jump. This is very basic, and consists of balancing on the rail of the bridge prior to jumping. Again, some of the jump crew will usually assist in helping you balance on the rail. This seems to actually be easier than climbing over the rail in order to jump.

Another way to bungee jump that is gaining in popularity today is the tandem jump. In this variation, two jumpers take the plunge together. It is somewhat dangerous, as bumping heads at the bottom can be unpleasant, to say the least. The jumpers are actually tethered together, so they are both committed to the jump.

Keep in mind, however, that this is by no means a complete list. There are many more ways to bungee jump that what are mentioned here. As the future of this sport appeals to more people with advanced safety methods, there are sure to be more ways to bungee jump developed.

Should You Have A Picnic? Signs That You Should!

Should You Have A Picnic? Signs That You Should!

Are you interesting to doing something that is fun, exciting, and relaxing all at the same time? If you are, have you ever thought about having a picnic? If you have yet to do so, it is something that you may want to take the time to think about.

When it comes to determining whether or not you should have a picnic, there are many individuals who wonder how they can know if it is a good idea. There are actually a number of signs that you can use to determine if having a picnic, namely hosting a picnic, is a good idea. Just a few of these signs are outlined below.

One of the biggest signs that you may want to look into having a picnic is if you are looking to spend quality time with your family. Picnics can be done with one person or fifty of them, but they tend to be best when they are done with family. When you have a picnic you are all able to spend time eating and playing many games or outdoor sports. This is what makes picnicking a fun family activity. No matter how many members are in your family or what their ages are, everyone would likely love going on a picnic adventure.

In addition to looking to have good, quality time with your family, if you are looking to have a romantic date or adventure, you may want to go on a picnic. What is nice about picnics, as previously mentioned, is that they can be a lot of things. For instance, if you want to have a romantic time with your partner, you can do so. On the other hand, if you are looking to have a fun time with your family, a picnic can also do that for you as well. One tip, however, if you are looking to use your picnic as a romantic date is to pick a picnic spot that is somewhat secluded.

Another one of the many signs that you may want to think about having a picnic is if you are looking to have a fun adventure, but save money at the same time. For many couples and families, a simple picnic can turn into a whole day of fun. This is because you can do many other activities as well. Popular picnic activities including volleyball, soccer, softball, and so forth. What is nice about these activities is that they should be free for you to play, especially if you already have the needed equipment. That is why it is affordable to have a picnic adventure, as often times you only have to pay for your food and drinks.

Another one of the many signs that you may want to think about having a picnic or hosting a picnic is if you are looking for a change. Yes, picnics are popular, but they do not occur as often as they use to. Many families and romantic couples would prefer to go out to eat at a restaurant or stay at home. If you and your romantic partner or you and your family do not usually have picnics, at a park or even in your backyard, you may want to think about having one. Whether your picnic is intended to be quality family time or a romantic getaway, you may enjoy the change. In fact, you may enjoy it so much that you want to continue having picnic adventures, possibly on a regular basis.

As previously stated, one of the many reasons why picnics are so popular is because they can take place at a number of different locations. For instance, you can have a picnic at a campground park, a state park, near a lake, or even in your own backyard. Perhaps, that is what is best about picnics, your possibilities are endless. If you have yet to have a picnic adventure, you may want to get started with planning your first one.
