Default Bungee/Skydiving

Who here has done either and has any recommendations for places in the states that are good?

I'm hoping to do both this year. This is gonna be my first time doing both skydiving and bungee jumping, hopefully it will be worth the money. I found a couple places but am looking for suggestions.

For skydiving I have a place that's about an hour north from me which will let me do a solo dive (sorta). I got a few friends that are will to go as well, but they want to do the tandem dive. [Only registered can see links. ]

For bungee jumping I found a place in Quebec (I know it's outside the US) since they advertise the "160 ft. rebound is higher than the entire jump height at any other site in the US or Canada!" [Only registered can see links. ]

Anybody else know any other ones? Anything around Vegas?

Ok, so after a little more searching found something that's not quite bungee jumping (since you aren't tied in at the feet) in Vegas but close:

Skydiving was the best thing I have ever done! Dont know of places here yet but in August a couple people and I are going. When I went it was in Japan. Never did bungee jump though.

Keep me posted. Are you planning on doing the tandem jump?

I don't know much about skydiving but one of my co workers just went last week for his birthday, this was his second time going.. The first time he dislocated his knee. The only thing I know is that he jumped by the Miami airport.

Good luck
