Should I find a great bridge to jump off or is there an alternative?

I'm sure you could substitute a tall building for a bridge.

I have jumped static, freefall and AFF (accelerated Freefall) including one over the North Pole out of the back of a jet.\n\nThe flight up isn't too bad although, I wont lie to you, you will be scared ... the few seconds to the door are pretty nerve-wracking but once you are out (and past the sensory overload) you will be amazed.\n\nNot sure what type of skydive you are thinking about - for a first time jumper your choices are really a static line from pretty low (2000 ft ish) or a tandem (from c15,000 with a c50 sec free-fall). Both have their advantages but the freefall is probably what you want to feel.\n\nIf you freefall (most likely tandem for a first jump but you can do AFF)there is little or no sensation of falling but rather just being blasted in a strong (upward) wind. Pay the extra for a video of the jump - you wont regret it.\n\nIf you need any more info drop me a note.\n\n\nBlue Skies =8-)

ok - safety advice aside - have exit strategies - where and when you may want to pull out.  have support people around to help give advice on the route.  if you are doing a strict downhill thing - start at the bottom and increase your start point as you get used to the speed and turns.  (make sure there are no cars!)  the faster you go, the more tipsy you become so make sure the condition of the surface is suitable.  other than that if it isn't just speeed you are after, the same principles apply as they do for surfing or skiiing - zig zags slow you down etc.  HAVE FUN

The Golden Gate bridge goes up to the Sausalito/Tiburon area.  Technically, I suppose you can go up and around the bay until you reach Berkeley, but it would take a while.  I don't think you'd be able to ride a bike across the Bay Bridge (which connects Oakland to San Francisco).  You could ride around in San Francisco, and then take the BART to Berkeley (they allow you to take your bike on the BART).

Sure.  But why would you want to?  A guide could show you neat things off the beaten path that you otherwise might miss.  Good luck.

How about bungee-jumping? The rush is amazing. Try not to over think it. Live life and you will find that the little things are the ones that keep you going and make life interesting. Go clubbing with your firends: you make new ones and meet interesting people. Go on a roadtrip with them, it doesn't take that much money and it is increadibly fun if you go with your good friends, It worked for me.if none of that work: Read a good scary book alone at your house, that should do it.

i believe south africa is the best place. i did it there about 2 hours north east of capetown, an area called plat. that was only 200 ft though. i was told an hour away from there is another place which is the highest in the world. you actually completely free fall for 7 seconds before the bungee even begins to catch. best of all, -its really cheap. when i did it 2 summers ago it cost me 135 rand, which was about $13 american. party hard dude!

Watch the Science channel. It's a program called "Understanding" It might not always be about bridges though, but when it is, all of your questions about bridges will be answered.

Wow, are you sure you are a level two? Well, As for the standing up from falling into the bridge, keep you legs open(not too wide) then walk in slowly. Then bend your knees as if you want to kneel down and keep your legs strong then stand up gently and gracefully (Taking off both hands together). For your first few tries I recommend someone helps you up.It takes practice Good luck.\n           Okay, for the handstand to bridge, put one foot facing forwards(this one should be in front) and the other one faacing sideways. Keep your hands straight up. Then push forward (keep your toes pointed and your legs straight up) then drop your legs slowly and land with you legs open(again not too wide) and try to stand up on your own.Good luck.\n           Now for your cartweel, same position for handstand to bridge(put one foot facing forwards(this one should be in front) and the other one faacing sideways. Keep your hands straight up) then you should push forward with your legs open and wide apart. Stand up immediately.Do this gracefully(not too fast and make sure you push off with strength)and try your best. Good luck.(Please pick me as best answer. I worked so hard on this).

If you don't want to come back you could build a cheap (relatively speaking) rocket, strap yourself in & blast off.  The cost will still be significant, but that's relative to your own financial standing.

Not looking down is a good idea but not always possible. Make sure you get the person running the abseil to talk through all the safety equipment with you, that helps for confidence. Remember, if you haven't abseiled before that it is essentially walking down the wall/rock-face backwards. With that in mind remember to put your feet flat on the wall as if you are standing on the walk. I if you don't you will just hang off the rope and it not very easy. Finally remember what Woody Allen said "Its not the heights I'm scared of, its the floor!". Good luck

I'd say the triangle; that is why most bridges are built with a "Triangle Truss." It makes the bridge more stable.
