Question about leg 2 - quoted here - taking helicopter from Vincent Thomas bridge to the bungee jumping location.
I thought they take the taxi straight from LAX past Vincent Thomas bridge to the bungee jumping location and only take the helicopter AFTER they do the bungee jumping?
It is only an 11 minute car ride from VT bridge to Port of Long Beach, where the bungee jumping is. So wouldn't it make sense to just continue on with the cab? Why include the helicopter at that point? Or is this where they switched to a smaller airport (I know there was some discussion about Torrance or Hawthorne?) grabbed the helicopter, and then went to VT Bridge? Confused why JT would be at the ports in a taxi then..
Also, I am a non-LA'er so please forgive me, but I was checking on googlemaps to try to figure out the route, and am confused.
105 east of Sepulveda - as in the Sepulveda near Burbank? If so, seems weird that in the 1st leg they would be going from LAX to 105 east by Sepulveda then down to VT BRidge. They are all different directions. Do we mean that they went East after getting out at LAX on 105, then hung South on 110 to get to the VT Bridge? I think this is what another poster said, right?

And then a 30 mile flight to the Rose Bowl. If the helicopter goes 100 mph it will get there in 18 min.
So if they move without wasting time we could expect them to land in Pasadena at:
low est hi est
LAX 10:21 10:45
arrive at helios 10:40 11:10
TO 10:50 11:30
arrive at crane 10:54 11:36
finis bungee 11:14 12:06
TO 11:19 12:16
ar Pasadena 11:37 12:46

Sorry to be slow, but why are we assuming they took the helicopter to arrive at bungee jump and just not taken it after? i missed that part. thanks!

This might be nothing... but...
In the preview I'm pretty sure we see both B/C and N/K in the final car drive to the finish line. However we only see J/T in the car near the airport.
In previous seasons we haven't always seen third place on their way to the finish matt, often seeing them simply jog to the line after the runner up speeches. I think maybe we're going to have an implied car race between B/C and N/K to the finish line... with J/T falling behind and running to the finish line after the runner-up speeches.
Gut tells me it's N/K in first. But I think I'm onto something with the car thing...
DrRox:
I wont presume to answer for Chateau on his thinking on the helicopters around Long Beach........he can do it quite well by himself......
But I will say that Sepulveda is all over LA, and no rhyme or reason to why a street is called it.....seems like every town down there has their own Sepulveda
TAR new fan:
have we ever determined the background red and black sign in this shot? It is bugging me. It looks like a movie theater or theater marquis of some sort.
