Sebazz1 2 #3 September 21, 2005 Someone will be bringing up farting in the plane soon and someone will be saying base soon Just in case if and only if Skydiving gets priced out, baned, etc.. I want a base rig for the future and I so want Yosemite to lift the ban; or para-sailing, maybe para-sailing is my next feat anyway. Something that involves flying through the air that is for sure. I kinda hoped I would be able to skydive my whole life though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #7 September 22, 2005 QuoteThis is UK only, and primarily concerned with large commercial aircraft. Yeah, uh-huh. That's how it starts... Someone will say: "Why should those skydivers cause all that pollution for mere recreation? Don't they care about the smog they create that the rest of us have to breathe? They need to take up some other hobby that doesn't destroy the environment. Ban skydiving!" They'll get my parachute when they pry the toggles from my cold dead hands.
