9Lives Bungee Goes VIRAL!

Posted on March 20, 2012 by 9Lives_Wildcat

So following the Chris Brown Weekend Getaway Experience, our very own feature feline Christine LynX Rougoor decided to upload a video of her Whistler Bungee experience.

Once you look around and see the difficulties other people are facing, you’ll recognize that the things you’re dealing with aren’t nearly as important or as tough as problems other people have. But another key part of having a great … Continue reading →
