A J Hacketts daughter is Margaux Hackett (born 2 June 1999) is a New Zealand freestyle skier who competes internationally. She represented New Zealand in the slopestyle and big air events at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. Extreme sports is a big thing in New Zealand
AJ Hackett is a kiwi, unfortunately we can't claim bungee tho! AJ made the sport popular when he jumped the Eiffel Tower Paris and the set up the first commercial bungee company in the world. Bungee originates from Vanuatu an Island nation in the Pacific, who has been doing bungee as part of a right of passage to manhood in the more remote islands long before they ever saw a white man or meet AJ Hackett in the 60s. These Pacific legends would jump from trees with vines attached to their legs and the some of the vines would snap as they fell breaking their fall, often breaking completely and the jumper would only get a slight break in his fall before face planting the ground!
Thankyou For Making My Beautiful Country New Zealand Look So Good!!! We invented Many Things including Nuclear Power Which Was invented inside A Garden Shed… 💯🇳🇿🤙
We used to have a yacht just there in Westhaven. And if we had people come visit from somewhere else in the world, I would take them out for a sail for a couple of hours. Always kept an eye on the bungy, because it was pretty exciting to sail up past the arch when they were jumping. Once my female cousin came and I took her and her friends out, got one of them to take the helm, put the cousin in a bosuns-chair and ran her up to the spreaders, and went through the arch ( it is about a hundred mtrs away from where they jump ) so she got to see up close to the bridge, and a woman jumped and went almost as far down as our deck, so my cousin got a photo of the woman being BELOW the spreaders height, with her arms spread like she was flying.
Wrong it didn't originate from A.J Hackett it was already a thing years before. he just took it mainstream..do your homework before you post false facts
Oh we visited from North Carolina and absolutely loved Auckland. Waiheke and gorgeous wineries, the vibe of Wynyard Quarter, hiking over Piha, experiencing the indigenous culture. Our kids loved it too and it was lovely weather too.
If you're gonna holiday here, don't leave the city area, it's not scary but it's just more hood the further you are from the city. If you're brave enough, be prepared to catch some hands (tips: mind your own n don't stare too long at people) I know, born n raised in South AKL 😘
finally new zealand getting some recognition
yeah lol
Ikr
FR though!
THANK YOU

Finnaly new zealand getting some credit

Husband is from NZ just asked him about it, said that's the first time he's ever heard of such a thing. 😂

Its not from NZ... land diving is from Vanuatu I think, and England might be the first to use a stretchy rope? NZ made it cool though.😂
Same
It's actually not, at the University if tourism they actually give you the full story on what aj Hackett mimicked bungee jumping from
You should do the sky tower bungee jump
I did that first but it wasn’t that fun as it felt like ziplining :/
Ziplineing is still fun though
@@celine.linarteyeah, it’s not bungee jumping off the sky tower, it’s like paracording or something different
@@Hazzler6975bro what you talking about, my family have a property there, and it ain't about to explode wtf
@@Hazzler6975BRUH I live on the north island and it ain’t bout to explode do some research before commenting abt something.

Not we. A J Hackett did.
@@analiahedley6487 Credit to that man
we didn’t , it was originated from the solomon islands which was actually a traditional thing and then you know what goes on
we didnt but some other kiwi did !
@@malecia_lekz762 Wrong, the divers of Pentecost do not bungee, they simply fall attached to a vine and don't fall anywhere near as far as Bungee.
Im from new zealand auckland and never knew you fould do bungee jumping in the auckland city 😅

The first organised commerical bungee jumping started in Aotearoa Te Waiponamu, actually originated from a 'coming of age' ritiual in Vanauatu
Pretty sure it started in Vanuatu, we just figured out how to make money off it 😂
Wrong it didn't originate from A.J Hackett it was already a thing years before. he just took it mainstream..do your homework before you post false facts
I live there and it’s beautiful on the country side

Yeah that's almost exclusively south auckland. The north shore is pretty chill, east and west too.
I'm in NZ. It's not from here, its from the islands as a step to manhood. Guys jump from a bamboo tower that stops you dying when you hit the dirt
AJHackett Commercialised it in New Zealand, but it originated in The highlands of Papua New Guinea
Wait there is a Bungee jump place here in nz?! DAD YOU LIED TO ME
Don’t forget about the sky tower! You can bungee jump there to
🙏 Welcome to Auckland
