Jean Pierre Gaston had one wish for his 85th birthday. He wanted to try something he’d never done before. He wanted to bungee jump.

This inspiring video shows Jean Pierre take that amazing jump. He’s a little hesitant at first, but you can see how free he feels when he’s free falling. It seems as if Jean Pierre has the support of his whole village, as the hills below him are dotted with spectators.

But don’t think the bungee jumping was Jean Pierre’s last hurrah. He’s got much more to do before he turns 90, including scuba diving, base jumping, and skydiving. Who says you have to slow down in your old age?
