I've done the Auckland Bridge twice. Fun but not necessarily "badass"....

Did the one at Victoria Falls. Highly recommend it! Serious thrill. Run by a group of Aussies oddly enough

i think the royal gorge bridge is where they do all the commercials featuring bungee stuff..i think.

i've jumped from cranes. i think a bridge would be much better.

Seriously though, there's a bridge up by Foresthill over the American River that's pretty dang high.

West Virginia New river Gorge bridge at 876' above the water provides some thrills. There is a day that they close the bridge for all sorts of bungee jumping and parachuting off of it.

Beat me to it.
It may not be the badest jump but you would be hard pressed to find a more scenic one
