Are you brave enough to step off a bridge spanning the 486 foot deep canyon that Evil Knievel attempted to rocket himself across in 1974? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me? Hell no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the individuals that come from all corners of the world to legally base jump off the Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Gorge in Twin Falls, Idaho the answer is Woo hoo! Lets go! And they do. Jumper after jumper strides across the bridge to the middle with their tiny little parachute packs, steps over the railing….and jumps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me? I am very content to stand on the canyon rim and take photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
