Get Your Adrenaline Pumping During Bridge Day In West Virginia

Do you know how many official and unofficial "national days'', festivals and holidays we have ? 365 !

National Dress Up Your Pet Day , Public Sleeping Day, Be Nasty Day, Blame Somebody Else Day...( here is the full list ). Don't believe it's true ? Just Google one of those days.

But the craziest, most exciting, adrenaline -filled day/celebration would be Bridge Day in West Virginia.

Bridge Day is an annual one-day festival in Fayetteville, West Virginia held on the 3rd Saturday of October that commemorates the 1977 completion of the New River Gorge Bridge.

But it's not just that. Bridge Day is one of the world's largest extreme sports festivals that celebrates the outdoors with a show you've got to experience to believe.

On this day, all four lanes of the bridge are closed to automobiles and opened to hundreds of spectators and adventure seekers. One day festival is packed with adventures of all kinds: BASE jumping, skydiving, whitewater rafting, rapelling, ziplining/highlining. Check out the vedeo

Is BASE Jumping On Your Bucket List ?

I'm proud to be "The First Russian To Tandem Base Jump Off A Cliff !" It was an amazing, once-in-a-life-time experience !

BASE jumping is not something I'd personally do on a regular (every weekend) basis ( like skiing/surfing/kiteboarding ). In my opinion, this is the activity that is strongly influenced by location.

I'd love to do BASE jumping at different beautiful and exotic places. I'm sure, even going back to Canyonlands in winter and jumping off the same cliff would be totally different !

Have you ever considered adding BASE jumping to your Bucket List ? Where in the would would you love to jump ?
