Only one goal stands between victory and me. I lunge forward to kick, the ball makes its way into the arms of the goalpost and I whoop as I soar in the air. No cinematic liberties here, just a "regular" game of Bungee Soccer.
Except for the fact that players are suspended from bungee ropes, with their feet just above the ground, the set-up is very much like rink football, with two mini goalposts and nine players on each team.
After securing myself in the harness, I understood why the sport is such a rage in Europe.
