Bridge Day
Have you ever been to Bridge Day? Would you like to go there? Which experiences would you want to participate in? Are there any other experiences in West Virginia that you would like to share with others? Do you know what helicopter skiing is? Do you have any high intensity experience that you would like to experience?

I have never been to Bridge Day. I would never like to go to it either. I wouldn't like to go because I am TERRIFIED of highths!!I would be to afraid because I can't trust the parachute. Mine would probably get stuck of something and then I would FREAK OUT!!! My older brother was going to go but then he changed his mind.
I think I know what helicopter skiing is but I might be wrong.
A high intensity experience that I can share with you is when I went to Bush Gardens in Virginia. My family and I went there about two years ago. We needed to get to the other side of the park so we dicided to take this ride called the Ski Lift. So we are all on it and of course no body but me is afraid of heighths. So I'm freakin out and we go higher and higher. Then while we were the highest you could get we heard these cracking noices and so I'm even more scared then our door to the ride swings open and I was going crazy. Then we got off the ride and I was still kind of shaky. But I will never ever go on that ride again!! :)
No, I have never been to Bridge Day. I have driven over the New River Gorge Bridge and also went to the visitor’s center. I don’t really think I would want to go to the Bridge Day celebration.
If I had to participate in one of the activities shown on this Blog, I think I would probably like the first. The activity where the people were being blown in the air, free floating. That looked like it would be fun to experience.
The one experience I like , is the Hot Wing Chicken Cook Off. This is held in Morgantown, WV each fall. It is a way to welcome back the WVU students and to get ready for the first Mountaineer Football game of the season.
I don’t know what Helicopter Skiing is, but I would think it would be scarey. I think you probably jump out of a helicopter and ski on water.
One thing I experienced that I think is high intensity is riding on some different roller coasters. I have ridden on them at Kennywood Park in PA., Busch Gardens in VA and in Kings Dominion, VA. Some of these rides are high intensity and can even be scary at times. They can leave you breathless yet after the ride is over you realize you had great fun.

I have never been to Bridge Day. I do not want to go either. I hate being on bridges. They scare me. I am terrified not o heights but of going up so high and having to come down. On a rock wall I can climb to the top a million times but coming down scares me really really bad. If I were to participate in one event it would probably be the first one but I would be flipping out the whole time. So, I think I will stick to the ground. I don't really have any experiences to share. I have no idea what helicopter skiing is. No I do not have any high intensity thing that I would like to experience.

No, I haven't ever been to Bridge Day. I wouldn't like to go there, because I am afraid of heights, and I think someone would try to push me off the bridge. If I wanted to participate in the Bridge Day events, I would just try the thing that blows you in the air with the fan.
No, I do not have any other experiences that have to do with Mest Virginia, unless you mean like riding dirtbikes in the mountains. That is fun. Other than that, I do not know. I don't know what helicopter skiing is.
:D
No I have never been to bridge day and I would not like to go there.I wouldnt like to participate because I hate heights.I would like to share our malls with other people.No I dont know what helicopter skiing is.I would like to go sky diving over water.

8I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would like to go and watch all of those crazy people jump to their possible death. I would never actually participate in the activities that take place on Bridge Day because i have a problem with purposely putting myself in danger. LOL. Another outstanding experience in West Virginia that I recommend is rock climbing at Seneca rocks. I go every year with my church and it is a lot of fun. Most of all it is a challenge that you definitely get rewarded for with the sights to be seen once you reach the top. No, I haven't heard of helicopter skiing. I really don't have any high intensity experience that I would like to experience at this point in time.

No,I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would like to go because it looks really fun. I think I would like to participate in the first event that we saw where the people were floating in the blow up machine. There are many tourist attractions in West Virginia, such as Blackwater Falls, Cass Scenic Railroad and many others that most families might enjoy going to. Helicopter skiing is off trail, downhill skiing that is accessed by helicopter, not by ski lift. So basically instead of having to carry a lot of equipment and riding up a hill to ski down, you carry less gear and you get to ride a helicopter up the hill. I love to ride rollercoasters and I would definetely call that high intensity. I especially love the ones that go completely upside down and have all sorts of unexpected twists and turns.

No, I have never been to bridge day.I would never care to go either.I am not scared of heights i just would not be able to trust a parachute or a bungee cord with my life.I Have been over the bridge and i have went to many places around it becasue my family lives there.I Have no clue what helicopter skiing is at all.A high intensity experience i can share with you is when we went to Kenny Wood and we went on the exterminator well i didnt know that it was all dark throuughout the ride.So we went on that ride and i was scared to death becasue you could not see what was going to come up next or what was going to happen. I love roller coasters and heights dont scare me but that was one time that both of those things did.I Have been to many roller coaster parks and i love them all.If i had to participate in one event at bridge day it would be the first one that they showed when they were flipping in the air.That looked really cool and fun.The one thing that i want to do is go white water rafting.

I have never been to Bridge Day. Someday, I would really like to go. IF I ever do attend Bridge Day, I would like to try jumping off the bridge [with a parachute of course]. Ever since I was little, that's all I've wanted to do.
I do not know what helicopter skiing is. I have never heard of it before in my life, up until now.
The only high intensity experience that I would LOVE to experience is like I said before, going bungy jumping or parachuting off of a brige.
I have never been to Bridge Day. I would love to go and watch all the people jump from the bridge. It looks like a lot of fun. I would love to do the thing where the air is making you go high in the air. I don't think I would ever jump from the bridge. That looks scarry to me. I would be afraid I might jump and hit a rock, or my shoot might not open. I am afraid to jump from something that high in the air. I would like to watch other people do it.
I don't know of any experiences to share in West Virginia that I have done. I know of Valley Falls in Fairmont. That is an awesome place to go. There are big rocks and the Falls are really pretty. You have to be extremely careful because you could fall off a rock and go in the water and drowned. Also in West Virginia is Coopers Rock. I have never been there, but I have heard of it. Another place I know of is Canaan Valley. People go there and stay over night, or just for the day. There are things to do in the summer and the winter.
I have never heard of helicopter skiing. I have no idea what that is. The only high intensity experiences that I have experienced or want to experience is the rides at amuzement parks. I like to ride roller coasters. When I go to Kennywood in Pittsburgh I ride every ride they have. I love it. I am not afraid of any of those rides. I went to Dollywood in Tennessee last summer. I rode one of the largest roller coasters in the world. My mom is scarred, she won't ride anything. I have also been snow skiing. It was so much fun. I had a blast. I definitely want to go again. Maybe when I am older I might try something else.

I’ve never been to Bridge Day. I would like to go there it looks so fun. If I would participate in one of the activities. It would be the first one where it is like a simulator of sky diving. Then I would also go off the actual bridge. Another in experience in West Virginia would be white water rafting. Helicopter skiing is when they take you up to a top of a mountain and then jump out of the helicopter and ski down the mountain. A high intensity experience that I did would be going on Topspeed Dragster III at Cedar point in Ohio. You go 120 miles an hour in 3.5 seconds and takes you up 430 feet in the air and then right back down. It is so scary I don’t know if I would do it again.

I have never been to Bridge Day, though I would love to go there to experience all it has to offer. I would love to have the adrenaline rush of practically flying. Bridge Day is something special to West Virginia that people come from all over the world to participate in. Not many people get to experience the events offered during Bridge Day; I want to have that privilege to say I was brave enough to participate.
In West Virginia, there are many exciting recreational activities. Kayaking, rock climbing, white water rafting, and hiking are just a few to name. Many people think that West Virginia is a boring state with nothing to do, but they don’t search far, if that is what they think. Our state is equipped with natural beauties and attractions that are unique from most other parts of the U.S.
Some of the things that I have enjoyed doing in West Virginia are kayaking, boating and fishing on Stonewall Jackson Lake, touring Seneca Caverns and Seneca Rock, hiking and biking at Canaan Valley resort and Snowshoe, skiing at Timberline, exploring The Mountain Institute properties and Backwater Falls, hiking Cooper’s Rock and we frequently use the Marion County Rails to Trails. There is so much to do and explore in West Virginia. If you enjoy outdoor activities, this is a great place to live and visit.
I did not know what helicopter skiing was, but I looked it up. Helicopter skiing is downhill skiing only accessible by a helicopter. I have seen this before, just didn’t know what it was called.
High intensity experiences I would like to experience would be: sky diving, white-water rafting, bridge jumping, mountain climbing, and bridge swinging. I have gone whitewater rafting on the Salmon River in Idaho and loved it. I would like to raft the Upper New River this summer. My family and I kayak in West Virginia, but we usually do calm waters and enjoy nature ant the scenery.

Lauren Gower has never been to Bridge day, but it looks quite interesting! If I did have the opportunity to do something like that I wouldn’t I would probably die from heart attack on the way down. The thing that looks like a blow up bouncy machine with air blowing into it, I would do that in a heart beet it looks so much fun. An experience that I have tried in West Virginia in the past that I think every one should do is: walk up the trails of Seneca Rocks, and goes ice skating. Well someday I would like to go sky diving, but after I think about it if I did have the opportunity I probably would back out.

Dude that was freaking awesome and I have not been to bridge day, but I have held my breath across the bridge. I would do the sky diving generator and the the real thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A favorite event of mine is the Moth-man Festival that is held in Point Pleasant and the Wood Choppers Festival in Webster Springs. What the heck is helicopter skiing, but it sounds dangerous and I like dangerous things like that. A high intensity experience that I would like to share was when I went to Dolly-wood and road the Mystery mine and the Tennessee Tornado. Nathan clouser 8th period
No, I don't think I've ever been to bridge day. There also isn't a lot of hope for me to ever go either because I'm absolutely freaked out by heights. I think I would die before I parachuted off of a bridge and if I ever did parachute off of a bridge I' probably forget to open the chute or something completely stupid. If I were to participate in any event it would most likely be the one that blows you up in the air. I have no idea what helicopter skiing is.

No, I have never been to bridge day before, I think it looks quite scary to be honest. I really dont think I would enjoy going for multiple reasons. First of all, I am not that great with heights and second, I would be afraid someone would get hurt. I wouldn't jump off a bridge with a parachute. I would be too afraid that it wouldn't come out or something like that. No, I have no idea what helicopter skiing is.
One thing that I experienced that has high intensity was a ride called "THE SLING SHOT" it was so scary. You get on and there are two seats. (it costs fifty dollars per person.) Anyway, you get on and you strap in. Then they pull you down into the ground and shoot you like 300 ft in the air. The seats twirl around and around and you bounce up and down. You get really dizzy too. Infront of the seats they have a little camera that tapes you as you ride it so you can see your expressions. I rode it with my best friend Jessi and our faces looked hilarious when we watched the video. Overall, it was really fun. Eventhough, it was pretty scary, I think I would do it again. (it was in Florida)

I have never been to bridge day although it seems to be really exiting in the video. I would like to go to see what all is at bridge day and to find something fun and exiting to do. It would also be fun to watch crazy people plummet down unknowing for sure what will happen next. If I went to bridge day I would probably want to do that air gust thing. It would be fun to be blown in the air and look at the view. It didn't seem extremely dangerous although I'm sure it would be fun. I think I would probably skip jumping off the bridge. To rely on a flimsy parachute when unnecessary is pretty extreme. This is bad especially when you are inexperienced and not high enough in the air to have time to think of a solution if something goes wrong. There are many wonderful things to experience with others if not to just to gaze at the amazingly beautiful sights. Some wonderful experiences would be things like hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, skiing, and more outdoor action. I'm not sure of what helicopter skiing is. It sounds daring. I think I'll go look it up. Be back in a minute... Helicopter skiing, heli-skiing, is not as life threatening as the name makes it out to be. It turns out I have heard of heli-skiing, just not by that name. Helicopter skiing is when a helicopter takes you out to a remote area and literally drops you off there to ski down the mountain. When I read that word on your blog I imagined a guy skiing off a ramp jumping onto a spinning helicopter blade and jumping back onto the snow. I may have a slightly overactive imagination. A high intensity experience I would like to experience would be to take a canoe down class five rapids. I love the water and being around it and I know how to canoe down easier places, but going down class five rapids would be a lot of fun.

No, I have never been to Bridge Day. I have heard about it. When I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee a couple we met there said they went to Bridge Day every year. They told us about all of the events and how much fun it was. I would like to go to Bridge Day and participate in the trampoline fan. That looked like a lot of fun. I have been to the Balloon Festival. It is where all the hot air balloons take off from Morgantown. I think helicopter skiing is when a helicopter takes you to the top of a mountain and you ski down. I went scuba diving in Cancun, Mexico when a storm was coming. It was pretty intense getting in and out of the ocean.

I have not ever been to bridge day but if I ever get the chance to go I will. I thought the first thing were the guys were flying looked like a lot of fun. I don’t think I would jump off the bridge because of how many people get hurt by jumping off there. As far as experiences in West Virginia go I went to the bad boys of rock tour that was a lot of fun. I have never heard of helicopter skiing but I would like to find out. For other experiences I went to Niagara Falls when I was littler. From what I can remember it was a lot of fun.

I have never been to Bridge Day but I would like too go. I would like too go because it seems like it would be fun. Although I would not be able too jump off of something over a river. I would like too participate in something that wouldnt be too high but yet not too low. I have been bungy jumping before with two of my cousins and it was so fun! I dont not know what helicopter skiing is.
You can bet all your money that one day that I will jump off of that bridge. I say that because I have never been to Bridge Day. Al though I have been on a boat that went through the rapids under the bridge. Now that was an experience! The whole time I thought that the boat was going to topple over with us in it. But it was all worth it, I got some terrific pictures of the underside of the bridge. I would love to back to the bridge to experience that thrill-a-minute ride again. The experience I would like to participate in, bar none is the base-jumping off of the bridge itself. I could only imagine the rush and thrill of it all as you drop 876 feet straight down towards the river. There are also many other many experiences I would like to do in West Virginia. For example; I would like to go spelunking (cave exploring) in the caverns in Seneca Caverns, rock climbing up Seneca Rocks, fishing on the Kanawha & Ohio Rivers, climb Spruce Knob, and visit every county in the state itself. Wow! I didn’t realize how many places and things I wanted to do. And do I know what helicopter skiing is? I think I do. I think it is when a helicopter takes you up to the top of a mountain, lets you off, then flies away to let you ski off of the mountain. That’s what I think it is. But I think there is an experience that could top helicopter skiing; and this is another experience that I have done. When we were went to Ocean City we thought it would be fun to go on one of those ocean speed boats. Well that was kind of a mistake. When we started going out we were going about five miles per hour. Then when we reached the second buoy, we started going about nine miles per hour. Then when we were out past the buoys, the driver let the hammer down and made that boat go about 50 something miles per hour. Then when ever we would hit a wave we would literally fly a foot and a half off of the water surface. Thus causing the wide spread splatter of salt water all over the passengers of the boat. Yes, that means I got covered with nasty salt water that is all around the world. You know what that means; some one had to have peed in the ocean some time or another. And if matters weren’t bad enough, I had a cut on my right hand from earlier that day. That surely burned like heck. But all in all, that experience was one of the best experiences I have ever experienced.

I have never been to the New River Gorge "Bridge Day". The only Bridge Day that I have ever been to is the reopening of the "High Level Brigde" in Fairmont. I would like to go to "Bridge Day" in Fayat county but I would doubt that will hapen any time soon. I think that the only experience that I would like to participate in is that thing that is like a moon bounce but you levitate. Instead of just bouncing you can actually float about 15 feet in the air. That might not sound very high but it would be allot of fun.
I do not no what helicopter skiing is, but it sounds like fun. I do enjoy normal skiing. on the 24th, I am going skiing at Cannan Valley Ski Resort and it will be allot of fun. And one high intensity experience that I would like to do is white water rafting. I have been once before, but the rappeds were just class 1's and 2's. I think that I would enjoy class 3's and 4's next time.

No, I have never been to Bridge Day before. I would not like to go because I really do not like highths that much. I would not participate at all, but maybe one of them. There are not any experiences in West Virginia that I know of. No, I do not no what helicopter skiing is. At Kennywood I was on the Pittsburgh Punch (I think that is what it is called) , and I was scared to death because it gets higher and higher. Then it immediately falls to the ground. I am never doing that again.

i have never been to bridge day and i dont plan on ever going to bridge day. this is mostly because i think that it is awful that people would actually go and jump of bridges for bridge day. if i were to go to bridge day to jump of a bridge then i would probably look down and start screaming because i was so high up. there was this one time that i was watching television and i turned on a random channel and there were these guys jumping off bridges. at first i just thought that they were trying to commit suicide, but last year i found out that they were doing it for bridge day. anyways to finish my statement, i was watching these people jump off bridges and this one guy jumped off and he didn't get his parachute open in time and when he hit the water he died instantly. i thought that it was really sad. then there was this one person that my mom knew and, she wanted to jump off a bridge for bridge day but she used s bungi cord instead of a parachute and she got down to low and in the water there were hooks or something like that and her feet hit the water before she did and her feet got hooked on the hooks and she had to get her legs cut of because they couldn't get the hooks out of her feet. that is one of the main reasons why i never want to go jumping off or out of anything. that is if it is like a bridge or a airplane or anything like that.
I have never been to bridge day and probably wouldn't want to go. I don't really like heights. Being high up in the air puts a lot of terrible situations in my head that could happen and it just terrifies me. I really like all the festivals in West Virginia such as the Three River Festival, The Strawberry Festival, and the Buckwheat Festival. I love all the fun activities that are availible. I'm not sure, but I think I've seen helicopter skiing on TV or something like that. It looks really dangerous and I would never ever in a million years, even if you paid me, consider it. I went to Kennywood last summer and I went on the pirate ship ride with my friend. I didn't even realize how high up it went!!! It swings back and forth and get higher and higher. It was okay when we went forward but when we went backwards my stomach dropped and I felt really sick. It was the scariest ride I ever went on.

I have never been to bridge day. I would not like to go because i could not jump off of the bridge it is too scarey. i think helicopter skiing is when you are hooked up to a helicopeter and ski in the water. Some high itensity expieriences that i have experience are the ollar coaster at kingsisland the biggest onw there is made of wood and it is very scarey. I have also rode the ones at kennywood they are intense too.
No I haven’t been to Bridge Day. Yeah I would like to go. I would participate in the parachute thing. It looks like a lot of fun. Although, I would have to make sure that I pull the string releasing the parachute. I personal don't have a lot of experiences like this in West Virginia.
No I don’t think I know what helicopter skiing is, but my guess is when you jump out of a plane or something and you ski along the wind. Yes, I have two. The first one is that (this might sound dorky) but want to be able to get on one of those up-side down rollercoaster’s. I have never been on one and I want to know what it feels like. The second one is that I would want to be up really far so that I wouldn’t fall down and to be able to parachute off a plain. Just like this Blog. These were my intense experiences that I would like to experience one day.

I have never been to Bride Day but I would like to go there to see some of the people jump. I have been to New River Gorge Bridge though. It is very high up. I would choose the parachute one where you jump of of that platform if i had to pick on of those activities. I have never been to anything really exciting in West Virginia. I have no idea what helicopter skiing is. I thought that it might be where you jump out of a helicopter like your sky diving but you have skiis.
I would like to dive off of that platform like they did in that video.

I have never been to Bridge Day. I would like to go because I think that it would be very interesting and fun. I would like to participate in Bridge Day and I would also like to go bungie jumping(however you spell that). I dont know if I would do that though because i am a person where i want to do it and then once I am right there i can not do it. No I do not know what helicopter skiing is.

No I have never been to Bridge Day. I don’t think that I would really want to go to Bridge Day, because all of the activities there look very dangerous. Some experiences I enjoy doing in West Virginia include fishing, fly fishing, and turkey hunting. I really enjoy these activities because I get to do them with my dad. Helicopter skiing is when a helicopter takes you to the top of a big hill and drops you off, and you have to ski your way down. No I do not have a high intensity activity I would like to experience at the moment.
No I have never been to Bridge Day. But I have went to the vistors center last summer with my grandma on the way to Beckley. I have also drove across it on the way to Disney. Yes, I would like to go to Bridge Day. The experience I Would like to praticate in is the bunggie jumping. There are many experiences in West Virhinia I would like to share with others. Some examples are Snow skiing, White water rafting, Water skiing, camping, hiking, and ect. No, I do not know what helicopter skiing is. But, I would like to find out about it. A high intensity experience that I would like to do is learn to fly like my dad and my Uncle Jack.
No, I have never been to Bridge Day but I would absolutely love to go! The experiences that I would like to participate in would be the thing at the beginning of the movie were the people were blown in the air by a huge fan. Yes I would like to share the West Virginia State Fair, it happens in Fairlea. It is one of the best state fairs and happens in August. Yes, I do no what helicopter skiing is, it is when you go up in a helicopter and they let you out, tied to the helicopter, on skies. A high intensity experience I would like to experience would have to be, going on an airboat ride again. I went on one in Florida and it was awesome. We went out in the swamps and got to see the alligators and it was incredible.
Taylor Gross 2nd period
No, I have never been to bridge day but I would like to go sometime. Some experiences I would want to participate in would be floating up in the air like how the people did in the beginning of this video. There aren’t any experiences in West Virginia that I can think of right now. No, I don’t know what helicopter skiing is but it sounds like something that would be pretty fun but scary. One intense experience I would like to experience would be sky diving. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun but I would be afraid the parachute would get stuck or something bad would happen.

I have never been to Bridge day, but it looks very fun. I have driven across the New River Gorge Bridge when I go on my yearly fishing trip. I would like to go to Bridge Day because it seems like it would be fun and it looks like there are a lot of cool things to do there. One thing that I think is a fun experience in West Virginia is the hot air balloon festival that they have at Mylan Park in Morgantown. I don’t know what helicopter skiing is, it sounds like it might be fun. A high intensity experience for me would have to be riding in a helicopter, when I was life-flighted to WVU hospital. Also, I think that amusement parks are another high intensity experience.
Bridge day seems like it would be very fun. I have never been to Bridge Day, but I definitely want to. I would like to go on the ride that levitates you. I would keep my distance from the bridge because I am somewhat afraid of heights. However, on occasion I have been known to jump from very high objects. Bridge Day seems like an enjoyable occasion for the whole family; whether you are watching people do stunts while plummeting towards a flowing river or jumping yourself. In the future I plan to be part of a Bridge Day celebration.
No, i have never been to Bridge Day but i have heard alot of cool things about it. Hopefully one day I will be able to go to Bridge Day because there looks like alot of fun thing to do. I would do pretty much anything if I saw other people doing it and I have a bungy cord or a parachute. Well when I went to Tygart Lake a whole bunch of my friends and I jumped off high rocks into the lake without anything and it was awesome. No I never heard of it before but it sounds really fun. Well I went paraselling in the ocean and I jumped off the rocks but thats about it. I never have rode a plane or anything that goes real high.

No, I have never been to bridge day and I wouldn't like to go there, because I would be afraid that someone would die while I was there. I am also really scared of heights don't even like roller coasters! I’m not really sure if I would like to participate in any experiences. I don't know what helicopter skiing is. I don't really have any experiences to share. I will get on rollercoaster rides as long as they stay on the ground!!!

No, I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would want to go there because of what I have seen. I would participate in the first event I saw because I would like to float above the ground and almost fly. I truly have no experiences that could compare to this or that I would like to share in great detail. I am not sure what helicopter skiing is. Although if it is anything I have seen in this video I believe it would be extremely interesting and I would love to try it because I love going to extremes. I would enjoy experiencing the Rock ’n Rollercoaster at Disneyworld because the last time I had a chance to ride I was eight and was scared of any rollercoaster at all.

I have never been to bridge day. I would like to go there just not participate. I really dont have any experiences in West Virginia. I do know what Helicopter Skiing is. It is when you ride to the slope of a mountain, you jump out and ski to the bottom. I really dont have any high intesity experiences.
I actually have never been to bridge day before! I doubt I'd go though because I'm terrified of hights!!! I really wouldn't participate in any of the activities but I would like to watch other people do it.An interresting place I'v been to in
West Virginia is Prickets Fort.
Honestly,I have never in my life heard of helicopter skiing but it sounds weird.No I do not really have any high intensity experience that I'd like to try.
Opps,I forgot to put my name my blog is #43!!:)

No, I have not been to Bridge Day before. I would like to go there one day. It seems super fun. I would want to try the sky diving in the trampoline thing. I probaly want to do this because I have always dreamed of flying without the wings. I, unfortunately, do not have any experiences in West Virginia, except for the fair. The snacks there are the best and the rides, games, and stands there are fun. I think I know what it is. Is it when you drop out of a helicopter on a really high mountain, and ski all the way down to the bottom. The only high intensity thing I have ever done would be to jump out of a 10 ft. high tree. I hurt my head when I landed though.

I have never even heard of bridge day neither gone there. I would love to go to bridge day, it looks like fun. I would like to participate in the sky diving or whatever it is called that they do. Other experiences that I would like to share with others are white water rafting. No, I don’t know what helicopter skiing is. I would really like to bungee jump from a bridge or something.

I would like to go 2 to Bridge day, and maybe evan jump. It does look like fun jumping off the biggest steel-arch bridge in America. In the end i would most likely not jump, but still imagine the expirance.
i can honestly say that i dont know what helecopter skiing is.
One experience I will share with you is when i was four years old. A farris wheel got stuck when my dad, and I were at the top. there was no double retaining bar at the time. I slipped under the single retaning bar, and landed on the step right in front of the cart. Thats where my dad saw me, and quickly grabbed me at the last second. if the step wasn't there i would have fell fifty feet to death. To this day my father is terrified of farris wheels
No, I have never been to Bridge Day. I think I would like to go because the stuff they do looks kind of fun.
I would like to participate in the first thing the video showed of the people floating in the air by using that fan thing (I have no clue, if you couldn’t tell, what this thing is called). I would also like to do the parachute thing as well, but I don’t think I should because I know I’ll find some way to make the parachute not work and I’ll go splat on the ground. I have the tendency to make things not work a lot but at least the water is down there so I won’t make as big of a splat.
I’m not sure what experiences in West Virginia I would tell people. I guess I could tell them about the landscape and skiing. West Virginia has a lot of places to go camping too which is pretty fun.
I’m not sure what helicopter skiing is so I’m going to guess. I’m guessing it is when people jump out of a helicopter and then land on the ground and start skiing down a hill.
A high intensity experience that I would like to experience is rock climbing up a big, gigantic, dangerous mountain. I would also like to go sky diving because it looks like you are flying through the sky and I always wanted to fly.
No I have never been to bridge day. I think I would LIke to go to bridge day it looks like a fun event to go to. I would like to participate in the parachuting off the bridge. There are no expieriences to share with the others because usualy I go somewhere else for fun stuff. No I have never heard of helicopter skiing before. I have no high intensity things to share.
I have never been to Bridge Day. Yes, I would like to go to Bridge Day because it would be so cool to see people jump off the bridge and look like they are going to hit the water and then open their parachute. I would like to participate in both experiences because it looks so much fun to jump off the bridge and then my parachute catch me and carry me to shore. Also I would like to be in that blow up thing because it would feel like I was flying. I would like to share White Water Rafting. I would like to share this because it is fun, there is a rush and you can cool off just by jumping in the water if the current isn’t to strong. I do not know what helicopter skiing is, but it sounds like I would be a lot of fun. I think helicopter skiing is when someone would jump out off a helicopter and ski on the water.

No, I have never been to Bridge Day, but I have been over the New River Gorge Bridge, many times. My mom used to live in Nicholas County which is only one county north of Fayette County. She said that Bridge Day is really a big deal. Over 200,000 people attend this event yearly. One sad detail is that there have been three people killed at Bridge Day. The last person died in 2006. He was a 66 year old man from California. He died because his parachute didn’t open in time. He was pronounced died at the scene. There is a very rocky river at the bottom of the bridge.
The New River Gorge Bridge is a steel-arch bridge, in Fayetteville, West Virginia; with a length of 3030 feet (924 m), it was for many years the longest in the world of that type. Its arch extends 1700 feet (518 m). Part of U.S. Highway 19, it is crossed by an average of 17,000 motor vehicles per day.
White-water rafting is also a huge tourist attraction in our state. Several tourists go white water rafting during the Bridge Day events. I think it would be really fun to go white water rafting. I hear that it can be very dangerous though, but that would be ok! It would be exciting and exhilarating to paddle over the white rapids.
One event that my family does in the summer is boating. We have a camp on Tygart Lake. We have 3 boats and we love to swim and go tubing.
My family also likes to go to Snowshoe Mountain. We go to the Chili Cook-Off. It is fun to go with friends and go swimming and hiking. We usually go to Snowshoe in the spring or summer. We usually stay at Rim-fire or Allegany Springs! They are really nice resorts with fireplaces and balconies.
According to Wikipedia, Helicopter skiing is off-trail, downhill skiing that is accessed by a helicopter, not a ski lift. Heli-skiing is essentially about skiing in a natural environment without the effort or gear compromise required for hiking in. Most heli-skiers are seeking specific, pleasurable skiing conditions that are hard to replicate in the highly manipulated terrain of ski resorts: particularly powder snow, but also long descents, natural terrain contours and features, smooth corn snow, old-growth tree glades, steep and extreme slopes, or for the more adventuresome, wild snow and a natural, variable environment. The presence of the guide and machine offer some protection against the risks and discomforts unavoidably associated with entering this mountainous environment, allowing skiers with little or no mountain sense to enjoy a wild environment. This sounds very adventurous!
I think it is unique that our state chose the New River Gorge Bridge to highlight on our state quarter in 2005. This shows what an important landmark it is in the state of West Virginia. Someday, it would be exciting to visit Bridge Day!

cweaverwfms No, I have never been to bridge day. I don’t think i would never like to go there because i am deathly afraid of heights, I can’t even stand going over bridges, let alone jumping off of one. I can not think of even one of those experiences that i would like to participate in, even walking on the bridge that high would make my stomach ache. I think West Virginia has so many things to offer tourists. We have at least 1 one thing for everybody.
I have no idea what helicopter skiing is but i will take a shot at it. I think it is when you are pulled through the behind a helicopter, i guess. I am not sure what high intensity experience i could handle.

No, I have never been to bridge day. Although i think it would be fun it didn't look like there was tooo much to do. I think I would get bored. Although, if I got to do some of the things then i guess it would be more fun. The experiences I would like to particpate in are the skydiving and the floating thing. I have always wanted to fly and i'm not petrified when it comes to heights. I haven't had many experiences I would like to share about West Virginia. No' I do noy know what helicopter skiiing is. The hight of intensity was an attraction was at Walt Disney World a ride called mission space made you experience exactly what it was like in space. It was very hard to withstand and breathe.

I have never been to Bridge Day but I bet it would be fun and interesting to go to. I would like to Do the first activity which was when the the people were being blown in the air. I always wanted to see how it felt to fly.Doesn't everybody want to know that feeling? i love to white water raft in West Virginia. It is very fun and intense. Everyone should try it because you can see West Virginia's beauty of nature and you get a good tan. I don't know what helicopter skiing is but it sounds fun. It sounds fun to me because i like to go on adventures. I have a couple things that I experienced that was intense. I love to ride rollercoasters at Disney and Kennywood and that is really intense. I Sort of like haunted houses and that is full of surprises.
Unfortunately, I have never been to Bridge Day but I've driven over the New River Bridge many times before though. Yes, I would like to go to Bridge Day it seems like it would be a lot of fun to watch.
Two of the experiences I would love to participate in would be both of the activities shown in this video. I would love to do the first activity shown in the video, It looked liked like so much fun. I would also like to try parachuting, even though I think it seems kind of scary.
Another experience that I would like to share is skiing. People from all over the world come to WV to ski because of our big mountains. I love to snowboard, it is by far one of the favorite things to do.
Helicopter skiing is when you jump out of a helicopter and ski down a mountain. I've actually always had in interest in doing this because I think it would be a lot of fun and a great experience.
I would like to experience sky diving because it would be so intense. I can't imagine how free falling would be like.
I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would like to go and watch all of those crazy people jump to their possible death. I would never actually participate in the activities that take place on Bridge Day because i have a problem with purposely putting myself in danger. LOL. Another outstanding experience in West Virginia that I recommend is rock climbing at Seneca rocks. I go every year with my church and it is a lot of fun. Most of all it is a challenge that you definitely get rewarded for with the sights to be seen once you reach the top. No, I haven't heard of helicopter skiing. I really don't have any high intensity experience that I would like to experience at this point in time.

No,I have never been to Bridge Day, but I do go across the bridge every year to go on vacation which is the reason why I have never been to Bridge Day EVER!! The experiences that I would like to particapate in are watching people jump off the bridge and enjoying the veiw. Mud boggs are really dirty but also really cool to watch says my dad who has been to I think two or three when he was younger. Yes, I know what helicopter skiing is, is when you ride a helicopter all the way to the very top of a mountain jump off at the top and snowboard or ski all the way to the very bottom. I would like to go flying in a plane or a helicopter.

No, I haven't been to brigde day, heck yea I'd like to go. It seems like it would be a lot of fun. I would like to try that thing where the people were "flying" in the air. That looks so cool! =)But I don't think that I would like to jump off the bridge, I'd probably be to scared. ;)
No, I don't know what helicoptor skiing is. I have never heard of it till now. :)
The only high intensity experience that I can think of right now is when I went to Six Flags for my birthday one year, and I rode the biggest roller coaster in any Six Flags in America, called the 'Goliath'. Yea, it was so scary!!! I almost peed in my pants!!! =)
And, no, unfortunately, I can't think of any other WV experiences.

I have never been to Bridge Day, but I think it would be fun. I don't think I would participate in really anything, because my biggest fear is heights.
I've only lived in West Viginia for about 6 months, so I haven't really expirienced anything.
I don't know what helicopter skiing is, and I'm not sure what to answer the last question.
No I have not been to bridge day. I would like to go. I would like to parachute of the bridge. I would like to go to the pca tour again. No i do not know what helicopter skiing is. Yes, I would love to go deep sea diving.

I have never been to Bridge Day. Yes I would like to go, because it seems very intersting. I don't think I would participate only because I am terrified of heights.

No I have not ever been to bridge day but it does sound a lot of fun. I would want to participate in bridge day. The first activity looks fun also. In W.V. we hve a wonderful Ski Resort Snwshoe. We also have a lot of wite water rafting. No i have never heard of helicopiter sking but, it sounds fun. The high intensity thing that I would like to experience is going ski diving. That would be awsome!!
No, I haven’t been to Bridge Day. I really wouldn’t want to go there because I’m terrified of height and would no enjoy it. I would like to go just to watch and see what all happens around there though. I haven’t really done anything in West Virginia that’s very interesting. No, I don’t know what helicopter skiing is but it sounds fun. I would love to ride a roller coaster I haven’t rode one which is kind of shocking, but I would like to ride one.

I have never been to bridge day, but I think that it would be fun to go. I would like to participate in actually jumping off of the bridge, even though I would be extremely scared. There aren't any other things in WV, that I know of, because most of my activities really consist more outside of state. I DO NOT know what helicopter skiing is. I would really like to sky dive. My uncle's girlfriend did it, and I saw the video of her in the air. That would something fun to try.

I have never been to Bridge Day, much less ever heard of it! Bridge Day seems like it would be fun, but some of the stunts would freak me out. I would like to go one year with some friends and watch some crazy stunts.
I think both of the events would be fun to participate in but I am so afraid of heights. If I went parachuting, I would probably forget to pull the thing that lets out the parachute! I think the skydiving thing would be a little bit safer for me!
There are some good places in West Virginia to go, but most are in the surrounding states. Kids around our area like to go to Valley Worlds of Fun.
I really don't know what helicopter skiing is, but I think you might have to jump out of a helicopter and then ski down the mountain. This seems like it would be fun and exciting, but I am not sure if I would have the courage to do it! This would be a fun event to watch.
One of my favorite places to go during the summer is Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Last year, they just opened a new roller coaster called the Griffon that broke many records. It is the tallest, floorless dive coaster in the world! You climb the first hill at a forty-five degree angle going ten feet per second. In no, time, you reach the top and swerve around to the straight down fall. Right before you plunge straight down, it stops and you are dangling two hundred ten feet up in the air for about eight seconds! It is very intense and exciting. They also have other roller coasters and rides that are very exciting.

I have never been to Bridge Day but I think it would be a lot of fun. The experience that I though looked like the most fun was the first one when the guy was floating in the blown up thingy.

I don't know of many other events or big activities in West Virginia. One high intensity experience that I would like to experience is going white water rafting.
I've never been to bridge day before. I might want to go there. I'd like to participate in the thing where the people jump in the jumping thing. I'd like to sky dive but im not sure if they have that in West Virginia. No, i don't know what helicopter skiing is. No.

No, I have never been to bridge day. From the viewings of this video i think it would be really interesting to go to a bridge day celebration. I would want to participate in the first activity that the man showed. The first one I think I would be too scared and release the parishut too late. Some other experiances in West Virginia are the Italian Herritage Festival. I acctully do not know what helicopeter skiing is. One day i would like to experiance sky diving but thats if i get enough guts to do it.

I have never been to Bridge Day but I would like to go one day. It looks fun and I love high rides. If I did decide to go there then I would probably do the jumping off the bridge. If i did decide to do it then I would have someone jump off of it with me. I would most likely get scared at first but then once I would be flying in the air I would enjoy it. I am not shure what helicopter skiing is. I have never heard of it. A high intensity experience that I did is when my dad,mom,sister,aunt,uncle, and three cousins went to a private beach called Ocean Isle. While we were there we really wanted to go pairasailing. For those of you who don't know what that is it's when you go out on a boat in the ocean and they strap you into these vests with a parachute hooked on the top of it. They wind a wheel and it takes you up into the sky. Your feet are dangaling down and your more than 100 feet in the sky! It was so much fun! I rode it with my dad and my cousin because everyone else was too chicken to do it, and I was only 8 years old! It was a really fun experience and I would do it a billion times more if I could!

I did not think this video was interesting. It was boring. I have not ever been to Bridge Day and I would not like to go there. I think it would be rather boring. Although Bridge Day seems boring, the Forest Festival is very exciting.
It is in Randolph County every year in October. You can ride rides, there is a parade, and games. It is a lot of fun. My favorite ride at the Forest Festival is the squirrel cages. One time my brother and I rode the squirrel cages sixteen times. We were really dizzy afterward.
I do not no what helicopter skiing is. I would love to hang glide. I think it would be a lot of fun.

I love the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when your unbelieveably high up in the sky. I really don't think I have ever been afraid of hieghts.
I do think I know what helecoptorskiing is. As i said before I think it would be really fun to go to bridge day and jump off that bridge and pull the string for the parachoute to come out.

I have never been to bridge day. I would love to go though. I am afraid of heights, but im not affraid to be up high. That sounds kinda weird, but I will go on high things, even if I am afraid. I love to go on rolar coasters and things like that just to say I did. I would like to do the bungy jumping off the bridge. I would, of course, be terrified.

No, I have honestly never been to bridgeday because i think it would be very boring. I would not like to go there, unless I was someone who was bungy jumping or base jumping, then it wouldn't be so boring. There's not to many interesting things that you can do in West Virginia other than caves and coal mines and stuff like that. I have no idea what helicoptor skiing is, maybe it's when you have skiis on, and your in the mountains on a helicoptor, and they drop you out to ski all the way down? One high intensity experience that i would like to experience would deffenitly have to be bungie jumping off of a bridge, or sky diving.
I have never been to bridge day and I could go on with my life if I never do. I might want to do the one were the people were in the inflatable thing but I would never jump off a bridge... Well maybe for 1 million dollars. I think a good experiance in this state is just visiting all the neat places here. I have no idea what helicopter skiing is but it sounds painful. I don't very much enjoy high intensity things.
i have never been to Bridge Day but I would like to go there to watch. I wouldn't want to participate in any of the events. I don't think that I would really want to participate in any other activities. I do not know what helicopter skiing is. I don't have any high experience. Not that I know of....
No, I have never been to a bridge day. I hate heights so I’m almost positive that I would not like to go to one of these events. I can’t say of any stories that have occurred in West Virginia that I haven’t told anyone. The only thing that I can say that has happened to me would be that my dog got hurt at Smoke Hole, but everyone knows about that. Also sometime my dad or aunt takes me and my brother fishing. We enjoy go fishing so much. I enjoy watching my brother and dad fish. I also fish but they take more interested in it then me.
I have no idea what helicopter skiing is. In fact I have never even herd of it.

I have never been to bridge day.I would love to go there it seem very interesting to me. I think that I would like 2 partcipate in the bungie jumping off the bridge.Umm not that no of. I havent realy done anything exciting in WV.No I dibt know what helicopter skiing is.Uh i think that id like to go sky diving from an airplane.
I have never been to bridge day, but have always wanted to go. I would do the thing where they are in the wind tunnel because it would be like free falling, but less scary. I don't know what helicopter skiing is. An expirience I like to do is to skii at Canaan Valley Resort, and if you are afraid of hieghts i guess that would be intense on the ski lift.
No, I have never been to bridge day and I hope I never do! I'm not aftaid of hights or anything, but if one of my freinds just climbs a tree I get scared they'll fall out!I'm to much of a scaredy-cat to participate in any of the things they were doing in the video. The other activities in West Virginia is the Scottish Festival. I go every year.:) I have no clue what helicopter skiing is, but it sounds dangerous! The high intensity experience I would like to share happened when I went to King's Dominion last year with my freinds. there is a ride that takes you waaaaay up into the air and then -all of a sudden- drops you back down. I told them that that was the only ride I wouldn't go on because I tried to ride the one at Kennywood and I lost my breath. My freind Jhonny can=me up to me and said,"Oh, come on! I have worse athsma than you do and I've ridden it twice already today!" So, i got talked into it. Another one of my freinds, Cody, was good at timing the precise moment when we would drop, so he said he would count down for me. When we got up to the top, I turned to Jhonny and said, "No big deal, right? It's just like Kennywood." He said, "Oh, no. This one's MUCH bigger!" Right then, Cody screamed "ONE!" and we dropped.
I.
Screamed.

Once I got my air back, that is! One thing is for sure, I'm never listening to Daredevil-Jhonny again!

I have been to bridge day before, but I was only 5 or 6, so I don't remember most of it. I would like to go again some year, though. One experience I'd like to share with others is skiing. I have never been skiing but it seems as if everyone's doing it. I don't know what helicopter skiing is, but it sounds dangerous. However, I've heard of base jumping, which is when two or more people jump from a helicopter or something at the same time and see which one of them releases their parachute last. It's dangerous because you could just end up dead trying to beat your friends. I would like to experience riding a few roller coasters that I was too afraid to ride a few years ago, like The Comet at Six Flags: The Great Escape. I guess that's all I have to say, and sorry for getting this blog in so late.

I one a state soccer tournament in West Virginia. I don't know what helicopter skiing is. I would like to experience Sky Diving or para sailing.
I have never been to Bridge Day, but I think that it would be fun to go, but just to watch. Jumping off of a bridge is the last thing that I want to do. I have traveled across the New River Gorge, though. There aren't any experiences in West Virginia that I would like to share with others, but I think that it would be fun to go white-water rafting. I know people that have been, and they said it was a lot of fun. I don't know what helicopter skiing is, but I have an idea of what it is, and I don't think that I would like to do it.
No I haven’t been to a bridge day before. I don’t think I would like to go there, because I am scared of heights. I think if I had to go I would do that air thing that it blew you up. I thought that looked fun. I think the tally rally is fun but everyone goes there is the best! I love it. You get to listen to music and eat lots if food. *Yummy* I don’t think I know what helicopter skiing is. I have been white water rafting before it was a lot of fun!!!!

I really don’t have any experiences in West Virginia that are really that amazing but I do know what helicopter skiing is and I really want to try it!
No if never been to bridge day. I would like to go there in the future. If I went to bridge day I would want to jump off of the bridge. Some of the other things I would want to do would take ever one in the school backpacking and see what would happen. Here is nothing that I want to tell you because I can not think of any thing. I had no clue what helicopter skiing was until I read what it was
No, I've never been to bridge day. I never want to go to bridge day. There's nothign there I'd want to do. If I had to recomend activities in WV, I'd say go hike seneca rock or go look around Cooper's rock.I think I've heard os helicopter skiing, it sounds like no fun. No, I can't think of any high intesity experiences. I love adrenaline, but I'd prefer to get it from a nice/fast car (or almost wreck [everyone okay]) than sports.

I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would like to go to it. I think that some of the activities would be fun. If I were to participate in one of the activities, I think I would want to parachute off of the bridge. I would like to do so because I'm not afraid of heights or water. And I don't think that I would mind falling off the side of a bridge as long as I had a parachute strapped to my back. I don't know what helicopter sking is but I think that it is jumpind out of a helicopter with skiies and a parachute.

I have never been to Bridge Day, but I think that it would be fun to go, but just to watch. Jumping off of a bridge is the last thing that I want to do. I have traveled across the New River Gorge, though. There aren't any experiences in West Virginia that I would like to share with others, but I think that it would be fun to go white-water rafting. I know people that have been, and they said it was a lot of fun. I don't know what helicopter skiing is, but I have an idea of what it is, and I don't think that I would like to do it.

I have never been to Bridge Day, but I think it would be lots of fun if I were able to go. I don't know if I would participate in any activies but they look fun. I really haven't been to anything big in WV but I go to other placeses out of state. I kinda don't know what helicopter skiing is.
I haven't ever been to Bridge Day but I think it would be a lot of fun. Especially jumping off of the bridge. There really isn't anything in West Virginia that I have been to that I'd like to share. I like the things in other states more. No I don't know what helicopter skiing is but it sounds like a lot of fun. I would like to fly an airplane or go parachuting.

No, I've never been to Bridge Day, but I wouldnt mind going. I probably would'nt want to participate because I'd probaby get scared. I would like to share being in the mountains, my family owns a cabin far out in Elkins, WV and I love going up there with my family to fish. I love being up there on a clear night, because there isn't a lot of light and you can see a billion stars. That's my favorite thing to do in West Virginia. I know it isn't high intensity, but it's still fun. I don't know what helicopter skiing is, and I've never heard of it. One thing I would like to experience is sky diving. If I could face my fears and do that, then I know I would feel like I could do anything. I plan on accomplishing that someday.

No, I have never been to Bridge Day, but I would like to go someday. I want to jump off the Bridge! The only other state experiences I would share are the county fairs. Yes, I do know what helicopter skiing is, I think it would be a fun experience. A high intensity experience I would like to try is sky diving. Sky diving, I think, would be very fun and scary at the same time. Te 37-thousand feet club would be a nice place to be!! Another experience I would be to go deep sea diving. Swimming and sky diving are things I would love to do!
No, I have never been to Bridge Day. I don't think I would want to go either. Heights and I don't get along very well. If I went to Bridge Day, I would probably participate in the first activity. The one where you float and freefall with parachutes, but only if I have to!
An expierience that I had was at the Three Rivers Festival. I went on the ride, The Spider, with my friend, Adrianna, and got so freaked out. I couldnt stand it. Adrianna and I had to get ff the ride early because we were so scared. No, I do not know what helicopter skiing is. I don't think I want to experience any more high time activities for a while!

I have never been to Bridge Day. I would like to go there? Some experiences I want to participate in are the parachute jump. I don't think there are any other experiences in West Virginia that you would like to share with others. I think I know what helicopter skiing is- isn't that when you ski down a hill by force of a helicopter? :-S And do I have any high intensity experience that you would like to experience? Absolutely not. One death defying trick is all I need. Eric ☺
