SkySlut 0 #1 October 19, 2003 Check this out...I tought this guy that has this state of the art prostetic leg to jump. Today we ended up doing his Cat A and mid freefall, I got the weirdest sensation. Everything became absolutely silent and everything went into slowmotion. The only thing that I could feel was each single "ruffle" of wind that was hitting my body. You can actually see it in the video where I am doing my gig and then, I kind of space out a bit for a few seconds. Extremely strange. Everything just became peacefull, very surreal. I really dont know how to explain it. I am not necessarily religious, but it was pretty f'n cool. If I could only put in a bottle and market that feeling...Bizarre shite. I guess this footage is going to be shown in New England on the local news channels and from what the guy tells me, CNN is doing a thing on him on their headline news. He has this really bitchin fake leg...almost stood up the landing too on a 0 wind day...pretty good!!! FYI. His existing leg was the weak one on this dive!!! Typical AFF Cat A. The prostetic leg was solid!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #2 October 19, 2003 nice man post video if you get a chance! Sounds way cool though. That sort of thing used to happen to me while freeclimbing 200 feet up off the ground. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

riddler 0 #7 October 25, 2003 Wow - sounds awesome. They have a phenomenon called "runners high" in running that sounds very similar. Supposed to be a rush of endorphine/adrenaline/other-brain-goodies that makes you feel invincible and serene. I wonder if there's like a "jumper's high" or something like that.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
