So you just pay a bunch of money to wear stupid looking gear and walk/swim around a rocky coast and jump off small ass cliffs? That water looks pretty damn cold too.. I feel that I would much rather stick to real cliff diving... or swimming... or hiking

The first thing that came to my mind was doing this as a backpacking trip. So like 3 days straight just go out by the coast and travel across and camp on the beach.

Well this idea would actually be really really cool..


but the concept behind this is paying a tour company for 2hours of "extreme adventure", when in reality you have some cocky bloke telling you what you can and cant do and having to deal with a family of 5 fat people who cant do anything right and ruin the fun.

I find that almost every tour company that deals with "adventure/extreme" activities waters down the actual experience for tourists at massive profit (think white water rafting, camping etc)

That video looked so fucking lame. I managed to get halfway through than shut it off before I killed myself.


IF you want to explore the coast grab some friends and do it. That would be fun. Find some cliff jumping spots and do it. But whatever the fuck that was in that video was retarded. The coolest "trick" was a spread eagle then into the super safety pose so nobody get's hurt on their 5 foot tall cliff.


I guess that would be exciting if you you live in the midwest where it's flat and you've never seen the ocean. Other than that fuck.

Im done.

Guaranteed. It might even be included. You ride your segway along a pathway till it ends then clim over a rock, jump in the water, swim over to the first rock, and climb onto the path to ride your segway back.

I would get kicked out of the group very quickly for punching those people in their slow motion couch-dwelling overexcited Arkansas faces.

I really want to ride a segway. That shit looks awesome.

But yeah, as far as I can tell this is just swimming.
