Hey, LEAPers!
It’s been a while.
We hope you find the information you’re looking for on the site.
If you happen to know a Bungee Jump location that we don’t, please email us at greatbigleap@gmail.com!
After the 2009 hiatus, it looks like the Games, which feature B.A.S.E. and bungee jumping are coming back to the Royal Gorge Bridge in 2010.
According to PeakRadar.com the official date is slated September 17 - 19.
Admission is $24, and it will be running from 10am - 7pm each day.
The official address is:
Royal Gorge Bridge and Park
4218 Fremont County Road 3A
Canon City, CO 81215
And their phone number is:
888-333-5597
It might also be worth keeping an eye out on the bridge’s Facebook page.
Now… Who’s going? And who’s going to pay for me to go!?
The Stratosphere just opened up a new “bungee jump” location in Las Vegas.
Here’s the first video from the jump:
Thanks to Gray, Rafal, Darek, and a number of other users for some great tips on new bungee jump locations! We’ve added them!
In other news, bungee is coming back to Vegas! In town for a bachelor’s party? Outdoor hub? Just to gamble? Now you have one more reason - SkyJump Las Vegas opening in April.
The tallest commercial jump spot in the world. Get you excited? We are, too.

Operated by the good people at AJ Hackett, this 233 m (764 feet) jump sits in Macau, a “special administration region” similar to Hong Kong. In fact, this area in southeastern China is closer to Hong Kong than Beijing.


There are a lot of great videos:
Just got a (wildly brief) note from the people from Royal Gorge Bridge. Looks like Go Fast! will only be putting this event on every other year from now one.
So, be ready for 2010!
Thanks to one of our readers, Natalie, we just found out that this year’s Royal Gorge Games has been cancelled.
No news yet on why.

Spanning the Colorado River, these bridges are in the heart of the Grand Canyon National Park, spanning the Marble Canyon in Arizona.


It’s tough not to make a great video of this picturesque spot.
We just passed our 7-week anniversary here at GreatBigLeap, and we’re really excited about how the website has come along.
We appreciate all of your comments and emails of encouragement. Thanks, too, for all of the new locations that we’re still sorting through. There’s a lot of places out there to bungee jump, and a lot of them don’t have a website. This shouldn’t deter you from visiting, but
We’ve entered in 37 bungee jump locations all over the world, spanning six continents (something tells us there’s not bungee jumping in Antarctica … though, there could be someday…). On a similar note, we’ve had visitors from 22 countries visit the website, including: United States, South Korea, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, India, China, Romania, Italy, Belgium, Australia, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Greece, Indonesia, Czech Republic, Iceland, Malaysia, Austria, and Saudi Arabia.
Thanks for coming everyone.
We still have a long way to go before the site is considered “complete”.
Things to expect from us in the coming month:
- More bungee jump locations
- Our first article
- More bungee jump links
- More highlighted bungee jump locations with more pictures and videos
- And our bungee jump locations section will shift to being a little bit more user-friendly. We hope you enjoy! And please, leave us some feedback!
