Little confused about the rant! videos of mishaps are posted all over the place. even on skydivingmovies. If the video guy was not a jumper and just a spectator then great the sport can use fans. Now if he was just there to try and capture somebody having a hard landing then fuckem!! Carma is a bitch... ***Glory Favors the Bold*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #7 December 7, 2005 The rant was misplaced frustration over how many sites there are out there (excluding pilotdave's) who claim to accept only "original" video submissions, then snag a video off of another site and post it as their own. It was a misplaced rant as it had little to do with the actual footage displayed here. Yes, every sport needs fans, but not opportunistic twits who simply want to make a quick buck showing how "insane" our chosen sport is.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
