BUNGEE JUMPING!!!!

                                                                                         What is Bungee Jumping?
 Bungee jumping is a recreational activity that involves jumping from a high surface while attached to an elastic cord. One end of this elastic cord is attached to the jumper’s body, while the other end is attached to a fixed object at the jumping point. Typically, bungee jumping involves leaping from jumping points that are several hundred feet or more high. The elastic cord used in this activity is designed to stretch during the jumper's fall and snap back up repeatedly. This causes the jumper to bounce up and down over the length of the jumping area until the energy from the jump has decreased. So basically, the shorter definition is when you tie your self to a bridge or something like that. It should be about couple hundred feet or some sort of body of water. The make sure you are secure and jump with the rope or elastic cord tied to your feet.

 First of all, I do not think this is a good idea if you are 18 and younger and 64+.  I know I won't do this in my entire life because it is one of the most dangerous thing to do. What if the rope breaks? Then what are you going to do. I know I would want my life to end there and then.  In the case of the actual activity, it's putting your faith in  a flimsy piece of elastic. Just to say something, it is a very rare chance that your rope will break. Accidents only happen because the elastic cord is probably not securely secured.  A cool fact about this extreme sport is that less than a hundred people have died by doing bungee jumping since 1979 to 2009. So, if you read all this information word for word, would you want to bungee jump?...

SPACE JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  This has been the most insane jump according to man-kind. He  ascended to an altitude of 120,000 feet (36,000 meters) in a six-foot diameter (1.8 meters). He flew up in a a  million-cubic-foot helium balloon hoisted a 3,000-pound capsule.  The drop was also 24 miles down so it would take a lot toughness for someone who has been working 5 years to beat the jump record that was set 52 years ago. Man! That must be a risky guy because I bet I would throw up for a constant 5 min if I fell from a hundred ft. According to the picture on the left, you can see that he was really high, because you can see the whole shape of Earth. I only have one question that made me curious. If he went through the zones in our atmosphere, how come this dare devil didn't burn up, like comets and meteors do? (facts from space.com)

       My Opinion on this Stunt

         I think this is a great way for people to take risks. I bet Felix did this stunt for himself and the people. He wanted to show that anything can be done, even jumping from space. I know I will be doing a lot more things that are risky. For example,today 10/17/12 I got suspended from the bus for two day because I pushed someone of the seat. But I will be doing things that are good. Anyway, since this dare devil has done this, in about like thirty years, you will see how someone tries jumping from the moon or something like that. I wonder if Felix Baumgartner got really nervous when he saw the view when he opened the door to the balloon. I bet I would faint. So, if got what I said, you can do anything if a guy jumped from space.

Stoppie

                                                                                     What is a Stoppie
  The short definition is basically the opposite of a wheelie. Stoppies are kind of a dangerous trick. It is when you stop on the front wheel, weight forward, and being the rear wheel off the ground to a balance position. The reason why it is SO dangerous is because if the bike stops faster than you think that it will, you may flip over the handlebars. And the bike may also land on you. So if you are going to try this trick be really careful. I recommend only do this only if your 18+ unless you are some sort of dare devil and are born with a crazy spirit.

    How To Do a Stoppie

     Keep your body centered over the bike. The most important aspect of pulling off a safe stoppie. You must first get your body dead-center over the middle of the bike with your head straight, shoulders squared and arms stiff. Having your body off center is what's going to cause the back end to kick out once you get the back wheel up. And if you dont do that... The simple way of saying it is you're going to die. But the descriptive way is, You are probably going to slip, fall flat on your back, and you might get paralyzed because the road hit your spinal cord.

WHEELIES

Wheelies are a big part of the motorcycling experience. Many people do this with there motorcycles because it is one of the easiest tricks to learn with a motorcycle.


WHAT IS A WHEELIE?
   A maneuver in which a bicycle, motorcycle, or car has its front wheel or wheels momentarily lifted off the ground.(found from dictionary .com) That might be the definition of a wheelie, but that is not the only thing a wheelie is. It is a stunt that passions people because it is extreme and people like extreme. Also, not only do we like it, but the stunt performers love it too, even more than us. They do it because they want to make us happy and show off. Mostly, the trick they will start out with is probably the wheelie. They just love it because, when they do it all these people cheer for them which raises their confidence, and passion for the wheelie.

WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

       Well............... The first thing you can do is press the brakes immediately so your motorcycle will go forward. You might still be hurt a little but it won't be as bad as a real accident. You might just get a little bruise on your thy and that's all. But a really accident can put you in a hospital for 4-6 months or it could kill you. So if your under the age of 18 don't try it. And if you are over 18 and not experienced, don't try it. I mean wheelies are only for like professionals so don't try them at home. PLEASE!! So that is basically what is going to happen to you if you try a wheelie without being unsupervised.

This is a video of one the coolest wheelies I've ever seen. :)
