Bungee Adventures — Attraction in Sacramento

I wanted to share my experience with John and Team , they are no doubt very knowledgeable and trustworthy but at the same time highly unprofessional. Me and my friend went for Bridge Bungee Jumping last week and we were the only Indians in the batch of 6 People.Below is what I felt and observed : 1.Before taking you to the bridge there will be a session of introduction and instructions which is I think fine but it would take more than hour for this session where they will show you all the slides and various pictures and try to sell you stuff like you need to pay extra for different kind of Harness, pics and videos which is still ok I am highlighting this here as I would talk about this later again. 2.They dont have permit to jump from any bridges , this means that if anything happens to you they should not be accountable.The crew members will keep you reminding of this time to time and will be scared to be in any of the pictures. And WILL NOT start the jump unless all others around have left the venue.

3.Most important thing they will not allow you to take any pictures or videos because they would ask you to pay for them, its business..fine!. But the pictures they take are usually out of focus and Video is unedited and not formatted properly, you could hear the weird screaming sound and background noise in the video while you had jumped. So you need to edit it yourself if you want to share it inspite of paying for it. John was more attentive to other people(except me and my friend) in the group and was asking them to pose after they did the jump, when actually they did not paid for the pics and videos.We realized it later. He shared the pics with everyone whether they had paid or not..to be noted it was only me and my friend and one other lady who paid for the pics and videos. And pictures for all others in the group were better than ours!!(Was that done intentionally ?) And who takes 3 days to share pics and videos??They tell you that they will provide the pics and videos in 48 Hours but they took more than that to share pics with us and when they did I had no pics of the jump !!

4.When I called John to tell that I am not happy with the pics he accused me saying that I took 3 countdowns to jump and he was helping me to jump and could not take pictures but the fact is there was other person helping me and not John.This was my first Bungee jump and I really wanted the pics and videos for my memories.And I am not an experienced jumper obviously I will be scared which is normal but I hardly took less than 10 mins to complete my jump including extra countdowns. I told him that you were the main photographer and you should concentrate on the pics or give the job to someone else in defense he again said that since I took 3 coutdowns it delayed the jump for the last person who had to jump in the dark which is not true it was not me who delayed it was the 1.5 hours introduction session and then the time spent at the bridge when they were waiting for people to leave who were there for a family picnic.Moreover after everyone in the group was done jumping the last 3 to jump were the crew members and experienced jumpers who were really not required to jump!! He also told me that because you took so many countdowns we had to take couple of videos and there are 4 videos should we charge you extra for that ? He finally didnt share my video.I did follow up on emails but he never responded. He did the refund for my pics and videos but there is nothing which I could look at and remember! This is highly unprofessional !! I suggest if you are still planning to go with this crew please take your own camera and dont listen to whatever they say regading pics...

Short version: Bungee Adventures is who you want to trust with your bungee experience! Can't wait to do it again.

Long Version: Let me start by​ saying that John and Edwin are amazing individuals. I called and texted them a couple of​ times and they were always quick to respond. I was driving from San Jose to Lake Tahoe and was trying to bungee jump on the way and arrive in Tahoe by a certain time. John informed me that the time I was shooting for would not be possible but he would (and he definitely did) do everything possible to accommodate us.

Pre-jump: My girlfriend and I Took a drive to our meeting location for a briefing of what to expect on our adventure and for a short sales pitch on the extra services they offer. It was both informative and comforting to hear what they had to say. John and Edwin have so much experience and passion in sport. After their explanation of the experience between the body and ankle harness, both my girlfriend and I decided to jump with an ankle harness. (it was the right choice!) Following the meeting, we caravanned (8 of us total including John and Edwin) in 3 cars to the bridge which was about an hour away from the meeting location. The bridge location was beautiful! Surrounded by mountains, trees and the sights and sounds of roaring water. (keep in mind they​ have multiple locations so description may vary) Set up on our day took a bit longer than average because of the unexpected high water in the stream below the bridge. John and Edwin were very thorough in assessing the area and keeping the entire group safe at all times. You could tell that they did not want us to get injured. The Jump: I won't write to much here because you have to go and experience this! The bridge (we opted for the 100ft jump) seemed so much higher once we laid eyes on it. I felt safe the entire time under the supervision of John and Edwin but the fear of jumping creeps up. 5-4-3-2-1 JUMP! I have not felt so present in a long time, It was just me and getting myself to release my grip on the rail. One of my favorite experiences! ( keep in mind that my hobbies include rock climbing, mountaineering, skydiving, etc) Bungee jumping is a must do! Post jump: This is something I have to do again. I can't wait to sign up for another jump with Bungee John....

As I stood on the edge of the bridge, the 100-foot drop loomed before me, appearing far more intimidating than I had imagined. The adrenaline coursed through my veins as I took in the breathtaking views of the river below, surrounded by the lush greenery. Despite the height, I felt a profound sense of safety under the vigilant oversight of John and Edwin, our experienced instructors. Their calm demeanor helped ease my rising trepidation.

When the moment arrived, the countdown began: 5-4-3-2-1, JUMP! As I let go of the railing, time seemed to slow down. The exhilarating rush of free fall engulfed me, and I felt an unprecedented sense of presence and clarity, as if all my worries melted away. There was nothing but the wind rushing past me and the thrill of the moment. This was an unforgettable experience, a perfect blend of fear and liberation, and I realized how much I craved that kind of adrenaline—especially given my hobbies of rock climbing, mountaineering, and skydiving.

Once my bungee cord finally caught me and I was propelled upwards, sheer joy and exhilaration surged through my body. I couldn't stop grinning as I floated above the river, feeling an overwhelming desire to do it all over again.

Post-jump, I was already thinking about my next adventure. I absolutely have to experience this again; I can't wait to sign up for another jump with Bungee John. Thank you, guys, for an incredible day and for igniting my passion for...
