I jump a Rawa TR full-face and love it. The only issue you may have is melon size. "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Because I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of not living. "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

I like the rope pic. I opened the last one first and thought, ummmm ok a big turd with undigested M&M's........ "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

All in all it's apples and oranges. However, I know which one I would rather die doing !! "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Substitute "sex" for "skydiving" in the above and you probably get the same result. "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Clicky "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Body language alone makes it seems odd: - appears to be a simple line twist but no effort to kick out of it. (cameras not shaking back and forth as you see in a lot of line twist vids. Especially considering one cam is on his foot/lower leg.) - has his left hand on the left riser during cutaway. Forseeing a need for stabilization. - instantly reaches for right riser after cutaway as if he knows it's not going anywhere. Can't unring the bell now, guess it could make a training vid if nothing else.

I looked it up, I am not finding anything out on it. He ran away from home and started hitchhiking. Nothing is said about joining the military. Yeah I think your right. Must have been the tattoo on his arm that threw me when I was younger Thought this was interesting though: Maynard James Keenan (Singer for Tool) went to West Point.

I believe Axl Rose was also 101st "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Dirt Dive races.... "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Sorry about that, disregard. I had like two windows open and stuff was getting jumbled. I'm still having flashbacks "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

For those that participate in this sport as a hobby or living – Yes For the weekend college kid who lost a bet – Not so much I don't think the general perception by the public is on par with ours. How many tandems were dared into doing it by their friends, or say during their video that "this is crazy". It is because there is an element of perceptual danger with a level of real danger mixed in. “chasin’ life at terminal velocity thing” yeah, I get it, you get it, but not the majority of the public. Neither do I. (see above) I think we are all mature enough to admit that skydiving is dangerous. No one will convince me that the danger/thrill/extremism, perceived or real, large or small, is not in some fashion a factor of why people are drawn to this sport. It’s not how long I have been at the rodeo….. its a discussion of human nature and psychology. I see that you have almost 21,000 posts, congratulations. I am sure with those numbers and experience you are able to see into the heart and merits of a discussion rather than insinuating someone’s “rodeo time” is the litmus test for intelligence.

"Are we ever gonna learn?" I just don't know how "fair" this statement is. You can train, study, and shit a SIM in the middle of a wet dream and still die participating in this sport. I just don't think you are going to see a year in review of 0 fatalities. It's the nature of the beast and makes this sport, in part, appealing to those willing to "live on the edge". No, I'm not a necromonger, but would this sport have the same appeal with 20 years of no deaths. I'm not sure it would. (in a perfect world would I like 20 years of no fatalities, well no shit). I'm just not sure it's an all inclusive "are we ever gonna learn" sorta thing. People make mistakes and die. Just so happens that mistakes in this world are not very forgiving. I cringe every time there is a new posting in the Incident forum, but realize that this sense of danger and extremism is part of the appeal.

Forget Tron and Gatorz buddy.......Riding a huge PENIS never goes out of style........!!! "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Says it all in my book. "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Well no shit... "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Please, and make sure it is cut into pieces so I won't choke eating it. "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Kills me every time. Am I the only one or does anyone else open up a thread, see that there is a long diatribe without any paragraph spacing, and immediately say to them self "You have to be F'n kidding me" (back button). Maybe I'm getting old or something but trying to read a massive block of compressed text is like taking a dull pencil and shoving in my eye.

Awesome, thanks for the advice! Usually I have a hard time finding my hackey but locked on this time! "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

My First Jump "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

I would go to the hardware store and buy a snake. If the claws on the snake cant grab it because of the size, retract the claws and fashion some type of small breakaway hook to the end of the snake. Such as, bending a piece of coat hanger into a simple right angle and tying it to the end of the snake with some thread (breakaway). make a small loop on the hook to attach some fishing line so you don't lose it. Use the snake to push the hook past the bottle and attempt to pull it out with the hook. Just a thought. I would try it before tearing my bathroom apart.

I'm referencing the thread I read concerning a tunnel in Vegas, not this thread.... "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

Vegas already has a tunnel My mistake. I thought the thread was fairly recent. P.S. Just wanted to let everyone know Vegas has a tunnel ! "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts

I wouldn't waste the money. They probably charge some outrageous price like $150. What kills me is I believe in another thread they said Vegas wouldn't allow a tunnel. Seems ironic.
