David Beckham Takes The Plunge
Everyone knows that soccer hottie David Beckham is a big sports nut … but did you also know that he is also a big XTREME sports nut as well? While down in New Zealand to play a friendly soccer match with the LA Galaxy this weekend (who, incidentally, beat the Oceania All Stars XI by a score of 3-0), Becks took some time out of his bizzy schedule to get in a little solo fun … by bungee jumping from the Auckland Harbour Bridge in New Zealand:
Perched more than 130ft above the water, he could have been forgiven for showing a touch of nerves. But David Beckham displayed his customary coolness under pressure as he made his debut at a new sport – bungee jumping. The smiling 33-year-old footballer even had the presence of mind to text a friend before launching himself from beneath the arch of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in New Zealand. He whooped and cheered as he bounced a few feet short of the surface before swinging back up to rejoin his touring team-mates from the LA Galaxy club. And so exciting was the experience that he immediately asked to repeat it – this time with the elasticated cord made longer so that he was dunked into the water. Wife Victoria, who is back at home with their three sons in Los Angeles, is unlikely to follow in her husband’s daredevil footsteps.
After the jump, check out a few photos of Becks and his daring bungee jump — be warned, he is shirtless AND wet in some of the photos …
While it looks like fun … you couldn’t strap my ass to a bungee cord and throw me off a bridge like this. I don’t mind so much when Becks does it tho … as long as he does so as nekkid as possible, I’m all for it.

Haha, I’ve been driving over that bridge heaps the past week. I wonder if I was there…

I’m surprised his contracts allow him to participate in XTREME sports. Risky…

Ah, Becks is a little bitch! Trix, but I did do a bungee off 170ft, I got 40 ft on you! Becks is one up on me- given the choice, I chose NOT to dunk my head in water! And I LOVE that he took his shirt off for all his fans! Thanks Becks, and thanks Trent for posting these! :) Woot!

I’m surprised his insurance company let him do it, too, but it looks a bit suspect – most bungies I’ve seen have the cords strapped to your ankles. Is there a video? They usually take them. My husband screamed like a girl when he did it. :D

I’d love to do this, but I have a fear of heights…
December 8th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Yeah I’ve gone by my ankles…looks awkward going by your butt!

I love him, but I have to say it looks like he’s peeing himself in the 3rd picture!

Bungee jumping is THE biggest rush.
I’m also surprised that his contract with the Galaxy allowed him to do this. I know more professional athletes have clauses preventing them from participating in this type of activity especially in season.
But good for him for taking the plunge. More power to him.

I never get tired of looking at him. How can Victoria Beckham stand to be away from his hotness for even a minute?
