Jump! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The Tibetian-Nepal border has a tremendously steep gorge with a suspension bridge. Bungy jumping is the sport there (besides rafting, trekking, etc.).This guy had a lot of bounce to the ounce, he was a regular yoyo! Our Tibet tour had stopped so the drivers could have tea, and we could see the jumpers. The next jumper just went straignt down, bounced a bit, and dangled. So I assume the person controls how much they get for their money. (I have no idea of the state).

Superb - I really like this, although blurred it has a real feeling of speed & committment

This is action! The jumper could be a bit sharper (shorter shutter speed?) but I like it anyway. Good isea to leave that much space under him, let him go doooown!
