Hank Caylor

Team Ill Vision will be there...

It's going to be a sweet event!

Bryan

I'll be there again.

I'll be there, with my thong

I'm definately attending to jump and may consider entering the climbing competition.

The four original Donk anD BoneZ boys will be reuniting there along with a few of us wannbees from the Donkey Boner farm team. I'm so excited I could pee... oops, too late!

Donk better not forget to bring his better half, and she needs to bring her climbing shoes, harness, chalkbag and belay device and any new Tenacious D bootlegs she might have! Can't wait!

Hey Spiderbaby --

So looking forward to many laughs and many jumps with you. I luv your work!

C-ya soon,

Bryan

Youse all know the A-Frame swing they set up on the edge there a couple years ago?

(The same as in an amusement park, except on the edge of the cliff face)

Someone should work out a way to cuttaway from the swing when you are moving at your fastest point to give you a nice trajectory up and over the edge and face to clear it.


NOW THAT would be a kickass thing to see.

Why? 'cause jumping the bridge itself isn't enough scare for your fare?

Agreed it might be kickass to see, but also think it is (yet another) recipe for death.

edited to add: I guess falling flat n stable just isn't enough for most folks anymore.

Hey dude, just saying it would be cool to do. Just like being a kid jumping off of swings, just a 1000 times cooler and a 1000 feet higher man.

Yes, it might be another recipe for death, but it isn't like no one hasn't said that about BASE jumping. Or Skydiving. Or flying.

I'll quit hijacking this other dude's thread now.

It's all good... I think it was considered last year, but ruled not possible. I was being more or less tongue-in-cheek in my reply to you. no worries.

HEY SANGIRO - MAKE A TONGUE IN CHEECK EMOTICON

edit to add: (that is a tongue in cheeck comment)

Lots of us talked about that last year while riding that thing. Looks like scary fun, but the logistics are going to be rough-to-near-impossible.

Oh yes, we will both be there...and prepared to defend the title ... The First ever GoFast Games COED Naked Bridge Walking Champions.

Looking forward to it.

You two kids are facing VERY STIFF competition this year. No walk in the park again, as it were...
