September 25 –28, 2008, the World’s Most Extreme Event returns to Canon City, Colorado, sponsored by the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, and Go Fast! Sports and Beverage Company, Denver, Colorado.
The annual Royal Gorge Go Fast! Games will showcase BASE and Bungee jumpers, leaping over the side of the world’s highest suspension bridge measuring over a 1,000 feet high, at the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, Canon City, Colorado. Participation in the Royal Gorge Go Fast! Games BASE Jumping is by invitation only and features world-class athletes in this event. Base jumpers typically use one parachute and foot-launch off of tall structures such as skyscrapers or land formations such as the Royal Gorge for a breathtaking soar.
These jumpers will also use the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park Aerial Tram, 1,178 feet above the Arkansas River below. For a once in a lifetime experience, bungee jumping will be offered to the public 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily weather permitting
